What are the advantages of using the StripHair Gentle Groomer for the show dog owner or professional groomer?

• Will not fray or damage the coat as a shedding tool can
• Relaxes hair follicles so the hairs lie flat
• Distributes the natural oils from the skin into the coat creating softness and shine
• Slow stroking motion with the soft rubber edge of the Gentle Groomer can calm nerves

Why is the StripHair Gentle Groomer a good choice for dogs compared to other grooming tools?

Comfort and skin care are two great reasons to choose StripHair Gentle Groomer for dogs. The Gentle Groomer won’t scrape the skin and cause dander as most other groomers do. There are no sharp metal or plastic tips that can scratch the skin causing dander and irritation on the skin. One of the most notable talents of the groomer is the ability to distribute natural oils from the skin into the coat producing softness and shine. The Gentle Groomer is used in a stroking motion that helps support good blood circulation and calms the nerves -- great for bonding with your pet!

What dog size and coat type are best for the StripHair Gentle Groomer?

The StripHair Gentle Groomer is best for medium to large dogs with short coats but will remove loose hair on any size dog. As with any groomer made for larger dogs, use only light pressure on small dogs.

How do I use the StripHair Gentle Groomer on my dog?

• Gentle Grooming Edge: Hold at a 45-degree angle and sweep in the direction of hair growth to remove loose hair, dirt and other debris.
• Larger diamonds: Hold flat with the diamonds against the fur to comb, remove debris or lather shampoo.
• Smaller diamonds & tapered ends: Use in a variety of holds to safely groom the legs, face, belly and other sensitive areas.

How will grooming with StripHair reduce unwanted hair and dander in the home?

The material of the StripHair Gentle Groomer is a custom-blend of rubber that was formulated with an extra “grip” factor for removing loose hair, comfortably and effectively.

• No sharp edges common to many other grooming tools, especially shedding blades which can scratch the skin and cause dander, or bristles that flick dander into the air.
• Flat edge design distributes natural oils from the skin into the coat hairs, which bind to dust and dander for easy removal during a grooming session.
• Stimulates blood flow for healthier skin and coat which can reduce hair loss.

What steps do you recommend for reducing excess hair and dander in the home?

• Groom outdoors whenever possible, and well away from foot traffic areas that could bring the hair back inside the home.
• While grooming, set a double layer of moistened paper towel beside you to place loose hair once removed during grooming. When finished, double over again to contain the hair and give a final pass over the coat after grooming to pick up any loose dander lying on the coat. Fold the moistened paper towel over one final time and dispose in a trash receptacle.

Note: As with using any grooming tool, take notice of your animal’s sensitivity in certain areas. Some areas may require a gentler touch, fewer passes, or there may be an irritation on the skin that needs attention.  

Will StripHair remove dog hair on furniture?

Absolutely, and it’s satisfying, too!  We are asked this question often. However, there are two precautionary notes about using the groomer on furniture. First, too much pressure can leave a mark and cause the fabric to pill on certain fabric types. For this reason we recommend that you first test the groomer on the material in an inconspicuous spot. Why is pressure not needed? The StripHair rubber material is a proprietary blend that has extra “grip”, which is effective at removing loose hair either with the bottom side diamond texture, or the “edge” of the groomer. The second note is that the StripHair Gentle Groomer was designed for grooming animals. Use on material voids the warranty, as this activity is outside of the intended use for this product.

How do I clean my StripHair Groomer?

What are the advantages of using the StripHair Groomer instead of a metal shedding tool or blade?

The Gentle Groomer will not fray hairs, which means a glossier finish on the coat. It removes dirt trapped beneath the hair without any need for harsh movements or sharp edges.
