Norfolk Terrier Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Norfolk Terrier at Home
Grooming a Norfolk Terrier at home can be straightforward when you have the right tools and understand the needs of this charming little breed. Norfolk Terriers have a wiry double coat that benefits from regular upkeep to keep it healthy, tidy and free from excess shedding. Their coat can grow quickly around the ears, eyebrows and legs which means a little routine maintenance goes a long way.
With easy to handle clippers and the right grooming accessories, you can keep your Norfolk Terrier looking smart while reducing trips to the groomer. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable which helps create a calmer grooming experience for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Norfolk Terrier
We recommend:
• Brushing at least twice per week
• Full clipping or coat tidy every 8 to 10 weeks
This helps maintain the natural texture of the Norfolk Terrier coat while preventing matting around the legs, belly and face.
Basic Grooming Steps for Norfolk Terriers
• Brush the coat to remove loose hair and untangle any knots
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy the body, neck and belly
• Trim around the face, ears and paws with grooming scissors for a neat finish
Many Norfolk owners also ask whether hand stripping is needed. Hand stripping keeps the coat at its most natural texture but regular clipping is a perfectly acceptable option for pet owners who want a more manageable routine.
Best Dog Clippers for Norfolk Terriers
Norfolk Terriers have a dense, slightly wiry coat that can vary in texture from dog to dog. Using the right clipper helps you achieve a clean finish without snagging or pulling. Whether your dog has a softer pet coat or a more traditional terrier texture, choosing the correct tool makes grooming smoother and more comfortable.

FAQs About Grooming a Norfolk Terrier
How short should I clip my Norfolk Terrier
Most owners prefer a tidy and natural look. Using a medium length blade or attachment comb helps keep texture while removing bulk.
Do Norfolk Terriers need hand stripping
Hand stripping is traditional for show dogs but many pet owners choose clipping because it is quicker and easier to maintain at home.
How do I prevent matting
Regular brushing two or three times per week helps prevent tangles around the legs, chest and belly.
Can I bathe my Norfolk Terrier before clipping
Yes but make sure the coat is fully dry before clipping. Damp or soft hair can be harder to trim evenly.
