If your dog is neutered, then this may make it harder to strip as the change in hormones affects the hair growth cycles 📈

There are 4 stages to coat growth. 
1️⃣ Anagen when the hair follicles begin to grow new hair.
2️⃣ Catagen when the hair transitions and stops growing.
3️⃣ Telogen when the hair rests and is at standstill, it does not grow or shed.
4️⃣ Exogen where the hair is dead and ready to come out so the cycle can start again. This is when we ideally want to go for a handstrip.
 

If your dog has previously been clipped or scissored then it may not be possible to handstrip, so we will need to do a meet and greet to assess the coat before booking in🕵️‍♂️
