Wire Fox Terrier
With his keen expression and readiness to spring into action at the slightest provocation, the Wire Fox Terrier is a typical terrier. Active, friendly and playful, the breed is highly trainable and excels in events such as agility. They are predominantly white in color with black or tan markings and possess a dense, wiry coat.
Grooming
Bathing: The Wire Fox Terrier has a harsh wiry coat which requires a strong shampoo without added conditioners. From there, hand stripping is needed to maintain the harsh outer coat. As an alternative, many Wire Fox Terrier owners take their pets to the groomer for a clippered hair-cut. This softens the fur, which many owners prefer over the harsh coat. Using our Bright White Shampoo will keep the coat looking flashy, while keeping the whites bright and the darks vibrant.
Between Bath Coat Care: During the dry winter months, or in generally dry climates, use Aloe Hydrating Spray to hydrate and moisturize the skin and coat. For a quick bath in between regular “full baths”, use Oatmeal Baking Soda Waterless Bath. Simply spray on and wipe with a towel. After a good dig in the back yard, this waterless shampoo is a must!
Ears
For monthly ear cleaning, use Espree Ear Care. If weekly care is needed for an existing chronic ear condition, use Espree Ear Care Aloe Wipes. This routine will help keep any ear problems at bay. Remember, never clean further than you can see inside the ear.
Eyes
Opti-Soothe Eye Wash can be used to help flush foreign matter, such as leftover shampoo, as well as help rinse common eye allergens while soothing any irritation. Tear Stain Aloe Wipes might also be needed if your dog has tear stains on the face and beard.
Common Problems
Coat and Skin: Fleas and ticks are a common problem for these athletic and active dogs. Our Flea and Tick Shampoo is fantastic and loved by groomers, while the Flea and Tick Pet Spray kills fleas and ticks for up to twelve days! There is also the Flea and Tick Repellent Wipes for convenience between baths or before outdoor adventures.
Skin abrasions and bug bites while playing outside are bound to happen. Keep 3 in 1 Healing Cream and Bug Bite Relief on hand for when those accidents happen.
Paws: Rub Paw Balm on the pads of the feet to protect and condition the pads, since this breed loves to dig. Paw Balm will keep its paws soft and help keep from cracking. May we suggest…
