Lowchen Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Lowchen at Home
Grooming a Lowchen at home can be a rewarding and enjoyable routine once you know the basics. The Lowchen, often called the Little Lion Dog, has a long flowing coat that can grow quickly and tangle easily. Regular grooming helps keep the coat soft, clean, and manageable while preventing mats, especially around the ears, under the legs, and behind the collar area.
With the right tools and a calm approach, you can keep your Lowchen looking tidy without the stress or cost of frequent salon visits. Using quiet clippers designed for comfort makes a big difference for dogs that can be sensitive to noise or vibration. Masterclip clippers are built for smooth performance and gentle handling, which helps make home grooming easier for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Lowchen?
We recommend:
• Brushing your Lowchen several times per week
• Full clipping or trimming every 6 to 8 weeks
Lowchen coats can mat quickly, especially if kept in a longer style, so regular brushing is essential. A consistent grooming routine keeps the texture healthy and reduces shedding around the home.
Basic Grooming Steps for Lowchens
• Start with a thorough brush through the coat to remove tangles
• Use quiet dog clippers around the body to create a neat and even finish
• Tidy around the face, ears, feet and tail with grooming scissors for a polished look
Many Lowchen owners choose a shorter pet trim for easier maintenance while others prefer to keep the coat longer. Either style can be managed at home with the right tools and technique.

Lowchen Grooming FAQs
How often should I brush my Lowchen?
Lowchens should be brushed at least three to four times per week to prevent mats. Daily brushing is ideal if you keep the coat long.
Do Lowchens need professional grooming even if I clip them at home?
Many owners successfully maintain their Lowchen at home. Occasional professional grooming can help tidy harder to reach areas but it is not essential if you stay on top of regular maintenance.
What length should I clip my Lowchen?
Most pet owners prefer medium to short lengths for easier upkeep. Using a clip on comb allows you to choose anything from a tidy short trim to a fuller natural look.
Do Lowchens shed?
Lowchens are considered low shedding but their long coats can trap loose hairs which is why regular brushing is important.
