Product Information

After you have hand stripped your dog, if you want his coat to be on the shorter side, you can scissor or clip the fur down further. However, some grooming experts don’t bother with this step, as it could end up changing the flow and the texture of the animal’s coat, thus making it harder for the coat to be able to do things like repel water and dirt. It’s probably healthiest to let the hair grow in naturally, however, some people are more interested in styling their dog than grooming. In that case, clip away. Just do so with caution. A freshly stripped dog will have open follicles and very sensitive skin for several days. Bathing immediately after must be done with great care.

As grooming is such an essential part of your dog’s health and happiness, it is very important to keep up with a regular schedule at home. Professional sessions are equally as important, so why not book an appointment with The Pet Retreat’s experts or read our detailed guides for different coat types?

ContentsThe Coat King will almost certainly be one of the most outstanding animal-grooming products of the century! The vast majority of “Coat Kings” sell either on end user recommendation, or on the seen “after” effects of an animals coat or in the case of horses – the tail! All types of animals will benefit from the use of a shedding comb to get rid of old hair without damage to the new growth thus allowing faster growth of healthy hair. Terrier dogs assisted hunters and farmers during the 1800’s in search of rabbits, badgers, rats, and other small vermin. Later they would be bred with hounds and other breeds to improve their hunting skills.

Grooming coordinates with this cycle to manually remove dead and loose hairs, while also allowing us to shape the coat to appear more stylish. Whether he’s on your lap or chasing squirrels, the Peekapoo is a delightful designer dog that’s suitable for a wide range of households. The aim of handstripping is to remove the older dull hairs that are in the exogen phase and are easier to pull out. To do this we use a stripping knife, grooming stone or by hand using a finger condom for grip. When performed by our professional groomers handstripping is completely painless for your dog. I personally have a carpet sample from a hardware store filled with chalk and sand that I will rub my knives on. Others will cut up a cardboard box before using their knives to dull them. Do not ever use a fresh knife on a dog.
