Why hand stripping?

Healthy coat, happy dog

  • Keeps the coat as nature intended. Removing the dead outer coat by hand lets a new, harsh wire coat grow through.
  • Weatherproof and protective. A stripped coat repels dirt and water far better than a clipped one.
  • Rich colour and texture. Clipping can leave wire coats soft, fluffy and faded. Hand stripping keeps them true.
  • Gentle and calm. Plenty of breaks and reassurance, so each groom goes at your dog’s own pace.
