Kerry Blue Terrier Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Kerry Blue Terrier at Home
Grooming a Kerry Blue Terrier at home can feel like a big task, especially if you are new to the breed. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can keep their iconic soft, wavy coat in great condition. Kerry Blues are known for their thick, silky hair that grows continuously. This means regular grooming is important to prevent tangles and to maintain their classic shape, especially around the beard, legs, and tail.
Using safe, easy to handle clippers can make a huge difference. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable to use, which helps create a more relaxed grooming session for you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Kerry Blue Terrier?
Most owners find the following routine works well:
• Brush the coat several times a week
• Full clipping and trimming every 6 to 8 weeks
This helps prevent mats from forming and keeps their coat soft, manageable, and healthy.
Basic Grooming Steps for Kerry Blues
• Start by brushing the coat to remove knots and loose hair
• Use quiet dog clippers for the body, neck, and chest
• Shape the legs, head, and beard with scissors to maintain the traditional Kerry Blue look
• Keep the eyes and ears tidy by trimming carefully around these areas
If you prefer a simpler style, you can keep the coat slightly shorter, which makes maintenance easier while still keeping your dog looking neat.

Most owners choose a blade that leaves the coat between 9 mm and 16 mm. This gives an easy to manage length while keeping the traditional texture and wave.
Do Kerry Blues shed?
They shed very little, but their coat grows continuously so regular clipping is essential.

Brush several times a week, especially around the beard, legs, chest, and belly. Mats form quickly in these areas.
