Grooming the Norwich Terrier
Norwich Terrier's have a coarse, wiry coat. This coat type should be hand-stripped to maintain color, texture, and skin/coat health.
Hand stripping is not offered by most pet groomers. You will want to reach out to local groomers in your area and ask if they offer this service.
