Brush your Schnauzer’s coat every day to keep it clean. In spring and autumn, the overly long coat should be trimmed, earwax, tartar and eye mucus should be removed regularly, and toes and claws should be trimmed.

The hair on the dog's ears, cheeks and head should also be trimmed regularly, and the eyebrows should also be trimmed and beautified.

When trimming the coat of all parts of the body, you should pay attention to the following points

(1) The hair on the head cover should not be allowed to grow too long, but should be trimmed shorter.

(2) The hair between the cheeks, the corners of the mouth and the eyes should also be trimmed shorter.

(3) The hair on the muzzle and the hair on the cheeks and jaws should be trimmed appropriately to make them symmetrical and beautiful.

(4) The hair on the inside and outside of the ears should be trimmed shorter, and the hair on the outside of the ear shell should be trimmed evenly.

(5) The hair on the throat should be kept short and neat and beautiful.

(6) The neck hair and coat should be trimmed to neither long nor short, so that the backline is balanced and neat.

(7) The hair on the neck and back should be trimmed in sequence starting from the back, left and right.

(14) The lines starting from the shoulders, downward and behind the toes and from the chest to the toes should be trimmed evenly and neatly.

(15) The hair on the inside of the hind limbs should be trimmed neatly.

(16) The hair from the back to the middle of the thigh should be cut very short.
