Do Norwich Terriers shed?

Yes, Norwich Terriers shed, but minimally. Their wiry outer coat and dense undercoat are low shedding compared to breeds with finer or thicker coats. 

To keep shedding to a minimum, once-weekly brushing is essential. This helps remove loose hair and prevents it from accumulating around the home. Brushing also stimulates the natural oils in their coat, promoting healthy skin and fur. Many Norwich Terrier pet parents find that a slicker brush or a pin brush works well to reach through their wiry coat and keep it tangle-free.

Additionally, grooming should include periodic hand-stripping or clipping of their coat to maintain its texture and shape. Hand-stripping is a painless practice that involves removing loose, dead hairs by hand to encourage new growth and preserve the distinctive wiry texture of their coat. This method can be done every few months, depending on the individual dog and their coat condition.
