Does your dog require hand stripping? If your dog does not require hand stripping, just put No or N/A as your answer. Please note, dogs must have a suitable temperament, coat and condition for hand stripping. This method of grooming can be uncomfortable for some dogs if they do not have a suitable coat. Hand stripping simulation through carding, scissoring and clipping is another technique we can do if it is not possible to strip your dog. Hand stripping should happen 4-12 weekly but will depend on the individual breed. Due to the time and skill involved, hand stripping is a more expensive service than producing a clipped style. *
