A good stripping knife: a priority for groomers!

Many breeds have a particularity in their coat’s life cycle: the telogen phase does not allow dead hair to be shed... The purpose of stripping is therefore to remove the dead coat without removing the “new and healthy” hair. Stripping is therefore necessary; you can do it with a knife, a trimmer, stripping finger cots with stones, or even by hand.

How do you choose a trimmer for stripping a dog?

- Several quality factors: the blade, the metal used, the hardness, the shape of the knife, and the handle’s ergonomics all account for the difference in price. For professional stripping, choose high-end tools: the reduced fatigue, decreased effort, and time saved will more than make this necessary purchase worthwhile.
- Different tooth sizes: fine teeth for fine-haired dogs, wide teeth for dogs with thicker coats.
