STRIPPING

Stripping is used on coarse-haired dogs (e.g. West Highland White Terriers, Schnauzers, Fox Terriers etc..) and consists in using a trimming-specific knife that allows the groomer to get rid of a dog's dead hair. This enables our friend to breathe better and makes new hair grow back. By performing stripping regularly hair colour will improve and its hue will get glossy and lively again. This technique requires some time to execute because the locks of hair have to be removed one by one. Stripping sessions should be repeated regularly every 3 months, during which the dog's hair should be treated with the trimming technique.
