Coat advice: clip or strip in Bristol

Honest advice on the right coat care for your breed.

Not every coat should be treated the same. A Sealyham Terrier owner wrote about Caroline explaining their pup's coat type and helping them decide to clip rather than keep hand stripping, plus tips for grooming at home between visits.

Medium, wiry coat

A groom for this coat usually involves

  • Bath and dry
  • Clipped, or hand stripped to keep the texture: ask which suits
  • Eyebrows, beard and feet shaped for the breed
  • Nails trimmed

How often to book

Every 6 to 8 weeks is typical for this coat.

Some wiry coats are hand stripped to keep their texture, others are clipped for ease. Ask the team to talk you through both.

“Caroline helped me make an informed decision that going forward this will be the better option for our pup's coat.”
