Norwich terrier grooming in Kiev

Trimming is the main procedure:
For the Norwich, trimming is the basics. We hand pluck the dead, stiff hair in stages: first from the body, then from the sides, shoulders, neck, nape, hips. We work in layers, not plucking all at once, so as not to cause skin irritation. Beard, eyebrows, ears and paws are neatly decorated with scissors, keeping the breed silhouette. This is precise work that requires patience, finger strength and a sense of symmetry on the part of the groomer.

Bathing with properly selected cosmetics:
We do not use conditioning shampoos as they soften the stiff coat. For Norwich, a deep-cleaning shampoo that washes away impurities but does not destroy the natural protective layer is appropriate. If there is a tendency to irritations - use mild soothing formulas with oats or aloe. Dry gently, not at maximum temperature, so as not to dry out the skin.

Combing out the undercoat:
After trimming and bathing, be sure to comb out the remaining undercoat. For this purpose, use special combs with rounded teeth or finishing stones. It is important not to traumatize the skin - the coat should lie flat, without "holes" or bald spots. If the dog has a thick undercoat - remove gradually, not in one approach.

Cleaning of ears:
The Norwich has standing ears, which reduces the risk of otitis media, but still requires regular cleaning. Use alcohol-free lotions that soften the wax. No deep cotton swabs, just gauze tubes or disks, and all with love so as not to frighten the dog.

Nail trimming and buffing:
The nails are trimmed carefully, taking into account the anatomy and length of the live part. If the nails are light colored - you can see the capillary, darker nails - work carefully, millimeter by millimeter. Always after trimming - grind, so as not to leave sharp edges. This is convenient for both the dog and the owners - less scratches on the floor and hands.

Treatment of paw pads and interfinger areas:
This breed often accumulates dirt and hair between the toes. We trim carefully - to avoid tangles, irritations and fungal lesions. We check the pads for cracks and can apply a special balm if the skin is dry.

Face decoration - eyebrows, beard, cheeks:
This is Norwich's trademark - a distinctive muzzle with a beard and a pointed look. We never cut the beard with a machine. We keep the shape by plucking out the excess, shaping it with scissors and keeping the breed expression. Eyes are always open, but not "naked" - everything with a sense of proportion.

Control of skin condition and general appearance:
In each set we do a visual inspection of the skin: no irritations, wounds, dryness, parasites. If we notice anything suspicious, we always inform the owner.

Recommendations after grooming:
After the procedure, we always tell you when it's better to make an appointment for the next Norwich Terrier trimming, how long the coat lasts until the next shedding phase, and what is better to do at home to maintain the result. A Norwich doesn't need to be brushed every day, but you can't let it go to waste - this will lead to faster shedding and uneven renewal.
