The Miniature Pinscher has a very short and glossy shedding coat that requires very low maintenance. Aside from regular brushing, the Miniature Pinscher should be bathed every three or four months. The ears should be cleaned once a week and the nails should be checked once every month to see if they need clipping.
Equipment needed to groom the Miniature Pinscher:
Hound Glove
Ear Powder (medicated)
Nail Clipper (scissors type)
Scissors
Lanolin Coat Conditioner
Chamois cloth
1. Brush the coat thoroughly with a hound glove.
2. Clean the ears by dusting the inside with medicated ear powder.
3. Cut the nails with a scissors-type nail clipper, removing only the tips of the nails to avoid cutting the quick.
4. Bathe and cage or towel dry.
5. Scissor the whiskers on the muzzle as well as any long hair over the eyes and on the face.
6. For a glossy coat, apply a lanolin coat conditioner by first putting a small amount on your hands and then rubbing it onto the coat. Use a chamois cloth to rub the coat to give it a shiny appearance.
