Wire coats need hand-stripping every 6–8 weeks to retain texture. Set recurring appointments so coats never go soft.
Clients need education on trim styles. Save client preferences so every visit matches their expectation.
Stripping rolls vs. full stripping depend on season. Document protocols per-pet to keep groomers aligned.
Wire coats irritate if stripped incorrectly. Track skin reactions in pet notes between visits.
