Mini Schnauzers have a wiry, protective outer coat and a softer, dense undercoat. The undercoat is meant to catch loose hair, while they are low shedders, they require frequent brushing and grooming to prevent knotting and maintain their coat texture. Some owners may shave their Mini Schnauzers for ease of upkeep, which may blur the distinction between the two coats. To help manage their double coat, we provide de-shedding dog shampoo for Mini Schnauzers.
