Lurcher Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Lurcher at Home
Grooming a Lurcher at home is very manageable with the right tools and a clear routine. Lurchers can have a variety of coat types depending on their lineage, from smooth and short to rough and slightly wiry. Each coat type benefits from regular maintenance to keep it healthy, clean and comfortable. Even though many Lurchers have lower shedding coats, they still need consistent brushing and occasional clipping to prevent tangles and keep their skin healthy.
Using quiet, reliable clippers can make grooming easier for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to be comfortable to hold and gentle to use, which is ideal for sensitive or nervous Lurchers.
How Often Should You Groom a Lurcher?
We recommend:
• Brushing once or twice a week
• Light trimming or clipping every 8 to 12 weeks depending on coat type
This helps remove dead hair, prevents knots from forming in rough coated Lurchers and keeps smooth coated Lurchers looking neat.
Basic Grooming Steps for Lurchers
• Begin by brushing through the coat to remove loose hair
• Use quiet dog clippers on longer or rough coated areas that need tidying
• Trim around the feet, tail and ears with scissors for a natural finish
• Check for dry patches or irritation since Lurchers can have sensitive skin

Best Dog Clippers for Lurchers
Lurchers can have very different coat textures depending on whether they take after the Greyhound side or the Terrier, Collie or other working breed side. Some coats are fine and silky while others are coarse or slightly curly. Choosing the right clipper can make a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the finish and the ease of grooming.
Masterclip provides high quality clippers trusted by professionals and at home groomers. Each model is tested for comfort, control and coat compatibility so you can groom confidently.

Lurcher Grooming FAQs
How much do Lurchers shed?
Most Lurchers shed lightly, especially smooth coated types. Rough coated Lurchers may shed seasonally. Regular brushing helps keep hair under control.
Do Lurchers need full body clipping?
Not always. Many Lurchers only need light trimming around feathered areas. Rough coated Lurchers may benefit from a full clip every few months to stay tidy.
Can I use human clippers on my Lurcher?
It is not recommended. Human clippers are not designed for dog hair and may snag or overheat. Dog clippers like the Masterclip range provide a smoother, safer cut.
My Lurcher has sensitive skin. What should I do?
Use gentle, quiet clippers and brush softly. Check the skin during grooming sessions for redness or irritation. Using the correct blade length helps avoid cutting too close.
