Intro to Hand Stripping ft. Kat & Betty! 🐾✂️
Check out this video where Kat introduces hand stripping with her friend, Betty the Wire-Haired Jack Russell Terrier! 🐕✨
Hand stripping is a grooming method primarily used for breeds with rough and wiry coats. Instead of clipping, groomers carefully remove the dead hair by hand, typically with the aid of tools such as stripping knives or stones. This preserves the coat’s natural texture and rich color.🐶
Shaving down a wire-haired dog too often can potentially damage their coat, causing it to grow back soft and dull. Hand stripping prevents this and supports a healthy coat. Don’t worry—done correctly, it does not hurt your pup, it just mimics their natural shedding process! 🙌💛
Most wiry breeds only need it 2–3 times a year. If you or a friend has a wire-haired dog, bring them by the Pit Stop for a professional hand strip! 🐾✨
