How to Brush on your Miniature Schnauzer

We have created a short instruction video to help explain how to brush your schnauzer. A good technique always helps. It is called "How to use a Lawrence Brush on your Miniature Schnauzer". It is starring the  youngest member of  the schroyal family, Her Royal Cuteness Annabella Florence Amy Blane the 4th! ​

The Lawrence Tender Care Soft Slicker Brush brushes are perfect for schnauzerholics!  Once you have used a Lawrence Tender Care Soft Slicker brush on your schnauzers, you will NEVER use another brush.  They make brushing your schnauzer easy.   The Lawrence Slickers brushes from ENGLAND and not available locally.

WE ARE SOLD OUT OF ALL OUR LAWRENCE BRUSHES.  WE WILL NOT BE IMPORTING MORE.  If you would like one, please order off Amazon or get a friend who is going to the United Kingdom to get one from you. They are made in England. We suggest a medium size for a miniature schnauzer. 

​
"I use the Lawrence Brushes on the schroyal family of schnauzers. I have a basket of other brushes that just didn't do the job. The Lawrence brushes make brushing easy!" - Deborah Blane (Founder Schnauzer Friends South Africa)
The quality of design and manufacture makes them a pleasure to use.   Lawrence Slicker brushes do not scratch the skin and cause brush burn. They are hand crafted from the finest raw materials. ​The “Tender Care” soft slicker brushes are specially designed for gentle grooming, but are very effective. They have lightweight aluminium construction and a soft cushioned pad.   ​Made in England Since 1799.  Each brush comes in a separate box. 
Schnauzer Friends South Africa do not recommend anything that we don't use on the schroyal family of schnauzers!

Below is some more reviews and feedback from Schnauzerholics who use the Lawrence Brush.....
  • ​'The Lawrence brush  is the only brush I now use, not only does it make my schnauzers look beautiful but it the only brush I have found that removes blackjacks quickly and painlessly!"- Ros Barnard
  • "The brush is AMAZING - it is a game changer! What matters the most for me is how much little Bailey likes it compared to other brushes. Previously she used to wriggle and pull away from me brushing her, but now she sits like a princess, and let’s me brush ...... I am so happy! It is however also about technique, and I am so thankful I came on your grooming course, and you showed us how to use it, as the short brush movement definitely doesn’t stress Bailey out as much. " - Lynne Eekhof
  • "I find the brush really great it fluffs up the hair so nicely". - Ruth Gierke
  • "Merlin doesn’t mind me using the Lawrence brush on him and it does make a world of difference to his fur." - Catherine Barry-Venter
  • "The Lawrence brush really makes a difference. We groomed the Clan on Saturday and even Francois commented on the difference. Thanks for recommending it.  Schnauzer Love." - Ina du Plooy"
  • " I can report that it works quite well!! – Thank you!  It really helps to get the matts under control and give that nice fluffy look. I have tested the brush on 3 pooches and only one of them does not really like me using it, but I am sure he will get used to it." - Maureen Thomas
  • ​"I  absolutely LOVE my LAWRENCE brush! A while ago I took my 3 dogs to the farm with me. They had a party in the blackjacks! Feeling very grumpy on my way home I knew I was going to be brushing and cutting them out for hours. No problem for the LAWRENCE Tender Care brush! I was done with all three dogs in less than an hour. A few strokes of the brush and the burrs and blackjacks were gone. No horrible cutting and leaving massive patches. I am so impressed with this product - one of the best brushes I have ever used! " - Melissa Anne Bottcher
  • 'The best grooming brushes ever ….. ' - Francois Spangenburg
  • ' The dogs love it, even Tintin who is very specific about how he wants to be touched. Thanks for the  instruction video also, it helped a lot to get the right action where the brush works best.  I am very happy with my purchase." - Tess West
  • "Just received my brushes and they are excellent - soft but not too soft that they don’t untangle those messy beards! WE love them!"  - Olga Cardoso 

Miniature schnauzers are special dogs and we LOVE them! We are proud schnauzerholics!   ​
