Lakeland Terrier Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Lakeland Terrier at Home
Grooming a Lakeland Terrier at home can be straightforward once you understand their coat type and what tools work best. Lakies have a dense wiry outer coat with a much softer undercoat. This combination can trap dirt and become tangled if not maintained regularly. Their coats also benefit from light hand stripping or clipping depending on the look you prefer.
With the right clippers and a little routine care, you can keep your Lakeland Terrier’s coat tidy, healthy and true to its characteristic texture. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and easy to handle which helps keep grooming stress free for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Lakeland Terrier
We recommend:
• Brushing several times per week to remove loose hairs
• Light clipping every 8 to 10 weeks if you prefer a softer pet trim
• Hand stripping every few months if you want to maintain a harsher traditional coat
Regular grooming helps prevent matting behind the ears, under the legs and around the tail where Lakeland Terriers commonly tangle.
Basic Grooming Steps for Lakeland Terriers
• Start by brushing through the coat to lift out dead hairs
• Use quiet dog clippers for the body, neck and chest areas
• Trim around the face, ears and feet with grooming scissors for a neat finish
• Check for knots in the skirt and leg furnishings
• Keep the beard clean and tidy to reduce staining

Frequently Asked Questions About Grooming Lakeland Terriers
How short should I clip my Lakeland Terrier
Most owners opt for a tidy pet trim using a medium length blade or comb attachment. This keeps the coat manageable without losing the classic terrier outline.
Do Lakeland Terriers shed
They shed very little compared to other breeds but still require regular brushing to remove dead hairs and keep the coat healthy.
Can I groom my Lakeland Terrier without hand stripping
Yes. Many pet owners choose clipping for ease. Hand stripping is preferred for show dogs or those who want to keep the harsher traditional appearance but it is not essential for coat health.
How do I stop the beard from getting messy
Regular brushing and occasional trimming keeps the beard neat. Wiping it after meals helps prevent staining and buildup.
