How do you shave a miniature schnauzer?

Ann | November 20th, 2009

Miniature Schnauzers have a very distinctive look with their mustache and beard appearance. But having this dog’s coat trimmed and styled is going to cost more than a pretty penny. One way to avoid the outrageous cost of professional groomers, here is a snapshot of how one can do it at home.

For starters one needs dog trimmers, scissors, a blanket for the floor, shampoo, dog brush and anti-itch spray.  Trimming, depending on desired thickness, can begin on the torso by mowing the hair opposite its growth direction and not change after it’s begun. Next is shaving from the neck to the head and cutting the hair covering the eyes and ears. Styling of the mustache and beard follows depending on the length desired. Scissors should also be used for the legs, chest and skirt. Bathing in warm water and shampoo is next, towel or blow dry on low. Apply anti-itch spray to protect sensitive skin.  Sit back and enjoy the new look!

Save money on vet bills! Do the basic health check yourself.
