Hand stripping is the correct grooming method for wired-coat breeds up to 10kg — Wire Fox Terriers, Border Terriers, Welsh Terriers, Jack Russells (wire). It removes dead outer coat by hand rather than cutting it, which preserves the coat's harsh natural texture and promotes healthy new growth from the follicle.

Dogs who have been clipped for years can be brought back to a hand-stripped coat over time with consistent sessions. It takes patience and the right technique, which is exactly what we bring to every appointment. We always work at the dog's pace.

Your dog stays with us for free all day. You're welcome to wait in our café in Alvalade, or add pick-up and drop-off when you book.
