HAND STRIPPING

The Natural Grooming Method for Wire-Haired Breeds

Hand stripping is the traditional grooming technique designed to maintain the texture, colour, and health of wire-haired coats. Instead of clipping, we gently remove dead hair by hand, keeping the coat strong, vibrant, and in its best condition.

🐶 Best suited for breeds like:
✔️ Border Terriers
✔️ Wire Fox Terriers
✔️ Jack Russell Terriers
✔️ Cocker Spaniels (certain coat types)
✔️ Airedale Terriers, Schnauzers & more!

💡 Why hand strip?
✅ Preserves the coat’s natural texture and colour
✅ Reduces excessive shedding
✅ Keeps the coat weather-resistant and healthy

⚠️ Important Notes:
🔹 If your dog has been previously clipped or neutered, their coat may no longer be suitable for hand stripping. We recommend a pre-groom consultation to assess suitability.
🔹 No bath on the same day – stripping opens the follicles, and washing too soon can cause skin irritation. We offer a discounted Wash & Go 7-10 days after stripping to keep your dog fresh and comfortable.
