Spinone Italiano Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Spinone Italiano at Home
Grooming your Spinone Italiano at home doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right tools and a little practice, you can keep their coat healthy, tidy, and free from tangles. Spinones have a thick, wiry coat that is weather-resistant and designed to protect them during hunting or outdoor activities. Regular grooming prevents mats, keeps the coat looking neat, and helps maintain their natural texture.
Using high-quality clippers and brushes makes a big difference. Masterclip clippers are quiet and comfortable to use, helping make grooming a stress-free experience for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Spinone Italiano?
We recommend:
- Brushing the coat at least two to three times per week
- Full hand-stripping or clipping every 6–10 weeks
Regular brushing removes loose hair and debris while preventing mats, especially around the legs, chest, and beard. A consistent grooming schedule keeps the coat in prime condition.
Basic Grooming Steps for Spinone Italiano
- Brush the coat thoroughly with a slicker brush or wire comb to remove tangles and dead hair
- Use quiet dog clippers to trim areas that need a neater look, such as the chest, back, and tail
- Use grooming scissors to carefully trim the beard, ears, and paws for a polished finish
- Hand-strip if you want to maintain the natural wiry texture, which can enhance the breed’s distinctive appearance

Common Questions About Grooming a Spinone Italiano
Do Spinone Italianos need hand-stripping?
Yes, hand-stripping can help maintain the wiry texture of their coat and keep it looking natural. It is usually recommended every few months, depending on the coat’s growth.
How often should I bathe my Spinone?
Bathing once every 6–8 weeks is usually sufficient. Over-bathing can strip natural oils from the coat, which are important for protecting their skin and hair.
Are Spinones prone to matting?
They are less prone to mats than some curly-coated breeds, but tangles can form in areas like the legs, under the collar, and around the ears. Regular brushing prevents this.
Can I groom my Spinone Italiano at home?
Absolutely. With the right clippers, brushes, and grooming routine, home grooming is safe and effective. Start slowly and reward your dog to make it a positive experience.
Masterclip grooming tools and accessories make it easier to keep your Spinone Italiano looking its best while maintaining a healthy, protective coat.
