Scottish Terrier Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Scottish Terrier at Home
Grooming your Scottish Terrier at home doesn’t need to be difficult. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can keep their coat neat, healthy, and free from mats. Scottish Terriers have a dense, wiry outer coat with a soft undercoat that requires regular maintenance, especially around the face, ears, legs, and tail where tangles and mats can form.
Using safe, easy-to-handle clippers makes grooming more comfortable for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and gentle, helping reduce stress during the process.
How Often Should You Groom a Scottish Terrier?
We recommend:
- Brushing several times per week to remove loose hairs and prevent tangles
- Full clipping or hand-stripping every 6–8 weeks
This routine keeps your Scottish Terrier’s coat tidy, manageable, and looking its best while preventing painful mats from forming.
Basic Grooming Steps for Scottish Terriers
- Brush the coat thoroughly before clipping to remove knots and loose hair
- Use quiet, professional dog clippers to trim the body and sensitive areas
- Trim around the face, ears, and paws with grooming scissors for a polished finish
- Consider hand-stripping the coat if you want to maintain its natural texture and wiry look
