Wire/Coarse Coat

Professional Use Guidelines for Treatments

Wiry-coated dogs have a distinctive rough and bristly texture that gives them a rugged yet charming look. However, their coats can become coarse, dry, and brittle without proper care. Unlike soft coats, wiry fur benefits from shampoos that cleanse without over-softening, preserving the breed’s natural coat structure. A strengthening conditioner adds durability and moisture while maintaining the coat’s signature crispness. Routine brushing and occasional hand-stripping help remove dead hairs and keep the coat looking fresh, structured, and healthy.

Breeds: Schnauzer (Miniature, Standard, and Giant), Wire Fox Terrier, Border Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier (rough-coated), Scottish Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Brussels Griffon (rough-coated), Affenpinscher, Wirehaired Dachshund, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Otterhound, Spinone Italiano, Cesky Terrier, Irish Terrier, Airedale Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Sealyham Terrier.

Groomer’s Insider Tip:

“Wire/Coarse Coat – Brush regularly to prevent tangles, and trim as needed, but avoid over-clipping—wiry coats should stay slightly rough to protect their skin.”
