Day 5 of Vroom Grooms’ Coat Type Countdown!Today we’re tackling the wiry truth about terrier coats, outdated grooming practices, and why behavior matters just as much as brushing. No pain, all gain—because grooming should never hurt.

Wire Coat – Breed: Wire Fox Terrier

✨ Pros:

• Bold, energetic, and full of spunk—these dogs are always ready for action.
• Their wiry coat naturally resists dirt and moisture, making them great for outdoor adventures.
• While shedding may appear minimal, all dogs shed. Wire coats release fur less visibly than smooth coats, but the hair still follows the full life cycle:
  Anagen → Catagen → Telogen → New Anagen. Shedding is natural, even if it’s subtle.

⚠️ Cons:

• Hand stripping is not offered by Vroom Grooms LLC.
  Many wire-coated breeds are man-made, and hand stripping is an outdated practice that causes pain and discomfort.
  We do not get paid to torture dogs—nor would we ever consider it. Grooming should never be associated with pain.
  Instead, we use safe, modern tools and techniques that prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being.
• Behavioral quirks require thoughtful handling.
  Wire Fox Terriers can be feisty with other pets, but this often stems from poor socialization or mismatched placements.
  We recommend working with breeders who conduct official temperament testing and place puppies in environments suited to their energy and personality.
  With proper training, structure, and clear communication, these dogs can thrive in multi-pet homes.
• High energy means they need consistent training and daily exercise. Without it, they may become destructive or reactive.

🧠 Pro Tip from Vroom Grooms LLC:
Terriers are thinkers and movers. Grooming them isn’t just about coat care—it’s about understanding their temperament and building trust through gentle handling and clear boundaries.
