Hand stripping is a grooming technique for wire coats that removes dead hair from a dog’s top coat by hand so that a new coat is able to grow in. It keeps your dog's coat tidy and healthy. This service also includes everything else we offer in the Bath & Tidy. Recommend every 3-4 weeks.
Breeds that require hand stripping can include:
-
Schnauzers
-
Cocker Spaniels
-
Irish Wolf Hounds
-
Wire Fox Terrier
-
Wire-haired Pointers
-
Wire-haired Dachshunds
-
Border Terriers
Handstripping is a delicate process that takes longer than regular grooming. If you are unsure whether your dog could benefit from Hand Stripping, you can of course always ask one of our groomers.
