Biewer Terrier Grooming Tips for New Owners

Biewer Terriers are known for their beautiful, silky coats and charming teddy bear look. Their hair coat (yes, hair like humans) gives them a luxurious appearance and also makes them a great choice for many allergy-sensitive families. While they do not shed like other breeds, they still require regular grooming to maintain a healthy, shiny, and tangle-free coat. If you are a new Biewer owner or preparing to bring home a puppy, here are a few simple grooming tips to help you get started!

Brush Regularly

Biewers have a fine, silky coat that can tangle easily. If you keep your dog in a full show coat, grooming will be higher maintenance and require frequent brushing. Many Biewer owners choose a cute puppy cut instead, which is easier to maintain while still showcasing that adorable hair. With a puppy cut, most Biewers only require brushing about twice a week to maintain a smooth coat.

Bathing and Coat Care

Biewer Terriers benefit from regular baths to keep their hair clean and soft. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner made for dogs. Rinse well, towel dry, and use a low-heat blow dryer if your pup is comfortable with it. Adding a dog-friendly leave-in conditioner or detangling spray can help prevent mats and keep the coat easy to manage.

Face, Nails, and Ears

Biewer Terriers tend to get debris around their eyes and mouth, so gently wiping the face daily helps keep them clean and comfortable. Trim nails regularly, or have your groomer handle it to prevent overgrowth and discomfort. Do not forget ear care, too! Check their ears weekly and clean them gently to avoid buildup using a veterinarian-approved ear cleaning solution and a soft cotton pad. Avoid using cotton swabs inside the ear canal; instead, gently wipe the outer ear area and folds to remove wax and dirt.

Professional Grooming Helps

Even with great at-home care, most Biewer owners schedule professional grooming around every six weeks. A groomer can trim the coat, maintain the puppy cut, and handle nail and ear care. Regular grooming appointments also keep your pup used to being touched and handled, which makes the experience easier for everyone.
