Stripping Knives

Dog Grooming Tools for Every Coat Type

Terriers, schnauzers and wirehaired dachshunds generally require professional grooming, as they are double coated breeds. Loose, dead and excess hair is gently plucked to prevent matting and to support the natural change of a pet's coat. In order to preserve the breed's typical appearance, stripping is done either by hand or with special knives and dog combs. 

Occasional stripping is also useful for some dogs with long and soft coats: especially in summer. Thinning out and removing excess hair with the appropriate knife or comb can create more relief for the animal than just using a regular brush or comb.

Aesculap Stripping Knife

Discover in this category, for example, the high-quality stripping knives from Aesculap in various blade designs for hair of different textures. Depending on the breed and coat type of the dog, knives with fine, medium and coarse teeth are available. The blade is made of stainless steel and is easy to clean and disinfect.

For reliable and gentle removal of dead fur, grasp a few hairs between the stripping knife and thumb and gently pull in the direction of the lay of the coat. It is recommended to start at the base of the pet's tail, work forward over the back and then trim the belly, legs and tail. 

Stripping Combs

The blue Kerbl curry comb in this category is particularly lightweight and pleasant to use. The ergonomically shaped and rubberised handle sits comfortably in the hand and enables fatigue-free stripping of dogs, cats or even horses. The fine teeth remove loose hair and undercoat and are extremely gentle on the top coat. The comb helps to keep fur clean and free of matting, which adds to the overall health of your pet's skin. Additionally, it is equally suitable for right- and left-handers and is available in two different widths here in the shop.
