What is a ‘Puppy Cut’?

A puppy cut is a term for a trim that leaves your dog with an even coat, usually around 2cm to 5cm in length. This cut makes brushing and upkeep quick and easy.

It is also the perfect cut for a puppy’s first trip to a groomer, as the cute style allows an inquisitive puppy to meet a grooming tools, nail clippers and a hair dryer. Check out Teddy’s puppy cut below and ask about it at reception.

Have you heard of hand stripping?

All dogs need to be groomed for their coats to remain in tiptop shape and for their comfort and well-being. The technique we use to groom a dog depends on the type of coat a dog has, and in some instances, a groom using clippers or scissors is not always required. Dogs with wiry coats, such as Irish Terriers, Border Terriers and Wire Fox Terriers for example, can benefit from a grooming method which is ‘hand stripping’. Basil (pictured) is a Wire Fox Terrier who is hand stripped to keep his coat course, shiny and healthy. To read more about hand stripping, click here.
