Lagotto Romagnolo Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Lagotto Romagnolo at Home
Grooming a Lagotto Romagnolo at home can be straightforward once you know what their unique coat needs. Lagottos have a thick, curly, wool-like coat that grows continuously and can mat quickly if not maintained. Regular grooming helps keep their curls defined, clean, and comfortable, especially around the ears, armpits, legs, and tail where knots form most often.
With the right tools and a calm approach, you can keep your Lagotto looking tidy between full grooming sessions. Using safe, reliable and quiet clippers is one of the best ways to make home grooming easier for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to glide smoothly through textured coats and are a great fit for the Lagotto’s curls.
How Often Should You Groom a Lagotto Romagnolo?
Because their coat grows constantly, Lagottos benefit from a regular routine:
• Brush several times per week to prevent matting
• Full clipping every 6 to 8 weeks
This schedule helps keep the coat manageable and reduces the risk of painful tangles.
Basic Grooming Steps for Lagotto Romagnolos
• Start with a thorough brush through the coat to release knots
• Use quiet dog clippers for the body and sensitive areas
• Trim the face, ears and paws with grooming scissors for a neat finish
• Always check the ears since Lagottos are prone to trapped moisture and debris

Lagotto Romagnolo Grooming FAQs
How short should I clip my Lagotto?
Most owners choose a practical length that keeps the curls tidy without removing their natural texture. Blade lengths between 3 mm and 9 mm are common for maintenance clips.
Does a Lagotto shed?
Lagottos are considered low shedding but their coat traps loose hair inside the curls. This is why frequent brushing is essential to stop mats forming.
How can I prevent my Lagotto’s ears from matting?
Check behind and inside the ears regularly. Brush gently every few days and keep the hair trimmed short around the ear openings to reduce moisture and tangles.
Are Lagottos difficult to groom at home?
With the right clippers and a regular routine, most owners find at home grooming manageable. Starting early and keeping sessions calm helps your dog learn to enjoy the experience.
