Norwich Terrier Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Norwich Terrier at Home
Grooming a Norwich Terrier at home is very manageable once you know the basics. Their wiry double coat is designed to protect them outdoors, but it can become scruffy, overgrown or uncomfortable without regular care. Although many owners choose professional hand stripping, lots of pet Norwich Terriers do very well with a simple clipping routine at home.
Using the right tools makes the whole process easier. Masterclip clippers are designed to run quietly, stay cool and provide smooth results so you can groom with confidence even if your dog tends to wriggle or feel unsure.
How Often Should You Groom a Norwich Terrier?
A good routine includes:
• Brushing once or twice a week to lift loose hair and prevent compacted areas
• Full clipping every 6 to 10 weeks depending on coat type and lifestyle
This helps reduce shedding around the home, keeps the coat tidy and supports healthy skin.
Basic Grooming Steps for Norwich Terriers
• Brush the coat thoroughly to remove loose hairs and small knots
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy the body, neck and rear
• Trim around the face, ears and feet with grooming scissors to maintain their classic Norwich expression
Tip: Norwich Terriers have sensitive ears and whiskers, so take your time and use gentle strokes to keep them comfortable.

Norwich Terrier Grooming FAQs
How short should I clip my Norwich Terrier?
Most owners choose a tidy pet trim using medium length blades that keep the coat practical but still true to the breed. Avoid clipping too short as the wiry coat protects the skin.
Can I clip a Norwich Terrier instead of hand stripping?
Yes. While hand stripping keeps the harsh texture, many pet Norwich Terriers are clipped for comfort and convenience. Clipping is perfectly suitable as long as you brush regularly.
How do I prevent matting behind the ears?
Brush this area gently during every grooming session. The hair is softer behind the ears and can clump, especially if your dog wears a harness or collar often.
How often should I bathe my Norwich Terrier?
Once every 4 to 6 weeks is usually enough. Overbathing can soften the coat more than necessary, so aim for gentle, dog friendly shampoos.
Which clipper is best for a wriggly Norwich Terrier?
The MD Roamer cordless clipper is a great choice thanks to its quiet motor and cable free design that helps you move easily around your dog.
