How do you know if clippers are rated for the Schnauzer coat?Ĭlippers roughly come in 4 levels: light use, medium duty, heavy duty and super duty. Watch groomer Debi Hilley using that tool on a Schnauzer type coat on the product page > The Andis Deshedder in the Original size is our best seller to Schnauzer pet owners who don't hand-strip. This area as well as longer hair on the tummy and the beard, should all be brushed anywhere from daily (if knot prone), to twice weekly for normal maintenance and to prevent knots (if you like to keep those areas long). The longer hair on a Schnauzers legs can be particularly prone to matting. A deshedder does not cut or shorten the top coat, so you still need to clip if you want the coat short.
It won't replace hand-stripping, but will help maintain a more correct Schnauzer coat texture. It thins out that soft, dense undercoat and reaches through the top coat, great for relief from the heat summer, for pulling out stuck undercoat, to use before you clip so your blades don’t ‘chew’ the coat, and to thin out areas prone to knots. It may not look it, but the Schnauzer coat is actually a thick, mixed texture, double coat. If you won’t be hand stripping (most pet Schnauzers are not hand stripped), then a deshedding tool is ideal for the Schnauzer coat.
Schnauzers may not get their adult coat till around 10 months old or later. Video tutorials for how to clip a Schnauzer.What coat prep is needed before clipping a Schnauzer?.What else do I need to buy when getting clippers?.
