Hand Stripping
Hand stripping is a traditional grooming technique designed specifically for wire-coated breeds. Instead of clipping, dead hair is carefully removed by hand, allowing new, healthy coat growth to come through. This method helps maintain the correct coat texture and colour while keeping the skin healthy and comfortable for your dog.

When done correctly, hand stripping is not painful. Dead hair is gently removed, and we work at your dog’s pace, taking breaks whenever needed to keep them comfortable.
Most hand stripped coats benefit from maintenance every 6–10 weeks, depending on coat growth and condition. Regular sessions help keep the coat healthy and manageable.
