Hand stripping i where you remove the dog's old coat with your fingers or with the aid of a stripping knife/block instead of using clippers.


This keeps the correct harsh coat in tact (mainly terriers) that keeps them waterproof, it also maintains the true colours of their coats, when clipping can cause their coats to become soft and paler in colour.

While you will find it more common for wire haired breeds to be 'stripped' some spaniel owners will opt for this- for them it allows the soft fluffy coat to be removed and giving back the sleek appearance without clipping .
Dogs that are handstripped can go longer in between grooms as you are pulling in the cycle of hair growth meaning it takes longer to regrow than if you cut it (clipping) .
This is a time consuming practise and can be unforgiving on groomers joints so it does come with a higher price tag, and not all groomers seem to be offering this as a service any more, maybe because of this.
