Zhengzhou Master Class in Hand Stripping

This month, Summer attended a master class in hand stripping in Zhengzhou, China. The master class took place from 26 October to 28 October and was attended by expert groomers from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Master Groomer Meng Ling Quan delivered the class. Master Meng is a highly qualified groomer who specializes in hand stripping and working with bichon frise.

As the principal stylist of The Pets Workshop, Summer continues to upgrade her skills and knowledge in the field of pet grooming. Such expert class is especially meaningful as Summer will be able to share her learnings with her staff and to enhance the overall competency and service offering of The Pets Workshop.

Exactly what is hand stripping, you may ask. Hand stripping is a grooming process that involves removing dead hairs from the coat by hand to keep the coat tidy and healthy. Hand stripping speeds up the natural process of growth and shedding.

True hand stripping is precisely that – the groomer plucks the outer guard hairs from the coat entirely by hand when the coat is blown. It is common practise however to use tools such as stripping knives and stones to help with the process. Dogs with wiry coats tend to need hand stripping to groom to breed standard. This includes most of the Terrier group and some other breeds, such as schnauzers.

Hand stripping remains the best method to groom wiry haired dogs because hand stripping targets the older hairs that are in the exogen phase of growth. These older dull hairs are easy to pull out and by doing so they leave room for new stronger hairs to grow through. This ensures that the coat will have a fuller, shinier texture and a more vibrant colour.

It’s recommended instead of clipping or scissor cutting because rather than removing old hairs these methods simply cut the old dull hairs. In doing so fresh new hairs don’t have the room to grow through. More importantly, by clipping your wiry haired dog’s coat you can prevent the coat growing properly and it may not be possible to handstrip in future.

The Pets Workshop currently also offers hand stripping services as well. Drop us a note to enquire!

The Importance of Simple Nail Trimming You May Not Be Aware Of

Nail trimming or clipping is such a simple grooming chore that one may simply overlook when it comes to grooming of furkid. Trimming the nails of dogs and cats is an essential aspect of pet grooming and care. It offers several benefits that contribute to the overall health and well-being of your furry companions:

  • Prevents overgrowth: Regular nail trimming prevents the nails from becoming excessively long. Overgrown nails can lead to discomfort, pain, and even deformities in the paws, affecting the pet’s ability to walk and run comfortably.
  • Avoids ingrown nails: If a pet’s nails are not trimmed regularly, they may curl and grow into the paw pad, causing pain, infection, and difficulty in walking. Ingrown nails can be particularly problematic and require veterinary attention to resolve.
  • Reduces the risk of injury: Long nails can get caught in carpets, fabrics, or other materials, leading to broken or torn nails. This can be painful and may require veterinary care to treat properly.
  • Maintains healthy foot posture: Proper nail length allows dogs and cats to maintain their natural foot posture and distribute their weight evenly. This is crucial for their skeletal health and overall comfort.
  • Protects against joint problems: Overgrown nails can alter the pet’s gait, leading to an abnormal distribution of weight on their limbs. This can result in joint issues, such as arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems.
  • Prevents scratching-related injuries: Cats’ sharp claws can cause accidental scratches to humans or other pets during play or interactions. Regular trimming helps to reduce the risk of such injuries.
  • Preserves furniture and belongings: For cats, nail trimming can help minimize damage to furniture, carpets, and other household items by reducing the sharpness of their claws.
  • Eases grooming: Long nails can become dirty and trap debris, making it more challenging to keep your pet’s paws clean. Regular nail trimming simplifies the grooming process and keeps the paws tidy.

When trimming your pet’s nails, it’s essential to use the right tools and techniques to avoid causing pain or injury. Some pets may be sensitive about having their nails trimmed, so it’s crucial to introduce nail trimming gradually and offer positive reinforcement and treats during the process. If you’re unsure how to trim your pet’s nails or if your pet has particularly long or dark-colored nails, consider seeking advice from a professional groomer or veterinarian to ensure the procedure is performed safely and effectively.

We, at The Pets Workshop, offer ala carte nail clipping service at an affordable rate to help you maintain your furkid’s nails in a sustainable manner. It is also a critical component of our basic and full grooming services. Feel free to reach out to enquire!
