Care

Although Miniature Schnauzers don't shed much, their coats require frequent brushing, combing, and grooming to look their best. As long as your Mini Schnauzer doesn't get into something too dirty or smelly, monthly baths are often enough to keep them clean and tidy. Monthly nail trims and weekly ear checks (to tackle bothersome debris or wax buildup) are also necessary.
