What’s Included in Our Hand Stripping Service?

Hand Stripping

Dead topcoat hairs are gently removed by hand, allowing new, healthy hair to grow. This technique keeps the coat textured, reduces matting, and avoids the softening effect of clippers.

Wash & Blow Dry

After the hand stripping, your dog receives a gentle bath and blow dry using sensitive-skin-friendly products to soothe the skin and finish the look.

Ear Cleaning

We clean your dog’s ears to maintain hygiene and prevent infections—especially important for breeds prone to buildup.

Nail Trim & Paw Pad Care

The session also includes a nail trim and a tidy-up of the paw pads to support comfort and healthy mobility.
