Achieve professional-level hand stripping for your pet's wiry coat with our Xylo Grooming Stripping Knives, inspired by the trusted Mikki design. Crafted for dog and cat owners who want to maintain a natural, tidy finish without clippers. These durable tools feature heat-treated stainless steel blades that are anti-rust and built to last, with blunted teeth tips for safe handling. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip, making grooming sessions easier and less stressful for both you and your pet.
Hand stripping removes dead top coat hairs in the direction of growth, promoting healthy regrowth, retaining coat color and texture, and preventing the "blown" look from irregular grooming. Ideal for wiry breeds like Terriers, Schnauzers, and similar coats. Choose between Fine for delicate detailing and thinning, or Coarse for efficient bulk removal.
Important Tips for Use:
- Ensure your pet's coat is suitable for hand stripping (not previously clipped).
- Groom a relaxed pet; avoid bathing beforehand for better grip (use grooming chalk if needed).
- Start with the smooth side facing you, pull gently against growth.
- For best results, strip every 4-6 weeks. Consult a professional groomer if unsure.
- Keep out of reach of children; not for use on smooth or double-coated breeds.
