Hand Stripping
What to expect from a hand stripping
Hand stripping is a specialist grooming technique used to remove dead outer coat by hand, helping to maintain the coat’s natural texture, colour and condition. It is suitable for certain wire-haired and rough-coated breeds, allowing the new coat to grow through naturally. When carried out correctly, hand stripping helps preserve the coat’s characteristic appearance and weather-resistant qualities. Every dog is different, so we’ll assess your dog’s coat and suitability before recommending this service.
