Jack Russell Terrier grooming
A Jack Russell Terrier needs a professional groom every 8 to 12 weeks, and brushing at home once a week. Don't shave it: the double coat keeps it cool. A full groom for a Jack Russell Terrier with NogPets is from R380.
Also called: jack russell, JRT.
The coat
Smooth, broken or rough: a short, harsh coat with a dense undercoat.
- A professional groom
- Every 8 to 12 weeks.
- Brushing at home
- Once a week.
- Shedding
- More than its size suggests, all year.
- The usual style
- No cut. A bath, de-shed and nails; rough coats can be tidied or hand-stripped.
- Shaving
- Don't shave it. A double coat keeps them cool as well as warm, protects the skin from sun, and can grow back patchy. Brush out the loose undercoat instead.
