Hand Stripping
A coat-care method considered for suitable wire-haired coats where the technique is appropriate.
Coat Care With a Considered Approach
Hand Stripping & De-shedding
Different coats call for different grooming methods. Whether your dog has a coat that may benefit from hand stripping or needs help managing loose hair, we'll discuss their coat type and the appropriate approach.
HAND STRIPPING & DE-SHEDDING
The Right Grooming Method for Their Coat
Hand stripping and de-shedding serve different purposes. Hand stripping may be appropriate for certain wire-haired coats, while de-shedding focuses on managing loose hair from suitable coats.
We'll assess the type of coat your dog has and discuss the method that fits their needs. These services aren't interchangeable, and the right choice depends on coat characteristics, condition, and the intended result.
Pricing Based on Coat Type and Condition
Your dog's coat, size, condition, and the time involved will help determine the cost. Contact us to discuss the most suitable option.
About This Service
Understanding the Coat Comes First
The way a coat grows and sheds influences how it should be maintained. Some wire-haired coats may be suited to hand stripping, while other coats benefit from appropriate brushing and de-shedding techniques.
Choosing the right method matters more than simply removing as much hair as possible. We'll consider your dog's coat and its condition before discussing the service, and we'll explain if another grooming approach is more suitable.
Coat-Specific Techniques
The grooming method is selected according to your dog's coat characteristics and maintenance requirements.
Practical Coat Management
The aim is to help manage the coat appropriately, with realistic advice about upkeep between appointments.
