How to Cut and Groom a Scottish Terrier
Regardless of your Scottish Terrier’s size, a haircut can enhance the beauty of its coat. If your dog’s coat is a little thick, thinning shears can help you achieve the desired look. Shears are also an excellent choice for trimming the Scottish Terrier’s tail, eyebrows, and inside ears. Always keep a mirror handy when cutting any sensitive body parts. Likewise, be sure to avoid clipping the fur on any sensitive areas, such as the genitals or anal area, where your dog may become hives.
When grooming your Scottish Terrier, remember that it is a high-energy dog, so make sure you exercise him frequently. Even the most docile of pets need regular exercise to stay healthy. A daily walk with your Scottish Terrier will keep it stimulated and happy. Because their short legs are not designed for running, this breed is not recommended as a jogging partner. However, if you do not have the time, you can walk him for a short distance.
Grooming your Scottish Terrier is relatively easy, but it is important to follow a consistent schedule to maintain its attractive coat. Daily grooming is recommended for a pet, but more often for a show dog. Before grooming your Scottish Terrier, make sure to use a stiff brush, hound glove, and a wide-toothed comb to maintain the hair’s natural texture and luster. If you’re grooming your Scottish Terrier to show, a stripping technique is recommended, which removes dead hair from the dog’s skin and encourages the growth of new hair.
If you’re not a professional groomer, try grooming your Scottish Terrier at home.
Using a grooming table will make it easier to cut and maintain your Scottish Terrier’s coat. Make sure you have good lighting and keep all grooming tools handy. It’s also safer to groom your Scottish Terrier on a grooming table, and you’ll save yourself the trouble of back injury.
The Scottish Terrier is a compact dog. It weighs between 18 and 22 pounds, depending on the breed. Females weigh slightly less. Males usually weigh between 19 and 22 pounds and females weigh between 18 and 21 pounds. Typical Scottish Terrier coat color is black with white or brindle, with white markings on the legs. Some Scottish Terriers have broken ears. These dogs are extremely lovable and make great pets.
The Scottish Terrier has a short, skirt coat that sheds lightly and is hypoallergenic. While you should brush your Scottish Terrier regularly, the short skirt coat will make it easier to keep your dog cooler during the summer. While some believe that Scotties perspire through their panting, they are most comfortable in cooler temperatures. Therefore, it’s important to keep your Scottish Terrier cool while they’re in the house.
Scots-Terriers have a hunting instinct that makes them excellent hunting dogs.

There are many ways to take care of your Scots–but a haircut can help them enjoy life even more! So, consider getting a grooming kit today to make your life easier!
Scots-Terriers have a low incidence of health issues, but you should be aware of these potential problems. While these problems are generally not life-threatening, they may require surgery. In extreme cases, your pet may need medication. If the condition persists, it is best to seek advice from a vet. This way, you can avoid the risk of serious health complications in your dog. And don’t forget to keep your pet’s collar and leash handy.
Scots-Terriers are susceptible to gum disease and tooth decay, and if you neglect to groom your Scottie, it could end up in a painful dental problem. Because of the close spacing of their teeth and jaws, Scottish Terriers are prone to dental problems and tooth decay. A professional can help you prevent these problems by providing the necessary tools and advice. You should also take the time to visit a groomer before letting your Scottie have its first haircut.
Scots-Ters require weekly grooming. For the best results, get your Scottish Terrier professionally clipped or hand-stripped. You’ll also need to clean your face and eyes regularly. Moreover, bathing your Scots will help maintain the condition of their coat. And remember that Scotties should be bathed every three to four weeks. Just be sure to avoid overwashing as this could dry out their skin and cause allergies.
