How do you pluck a dog’s coat?

Coat plucking, also known as “manual plucking,” is a grooming technique used specifically for wirehaired coat types.
This involves manually removing the dead outer coat to stimulate the growth of new hairs.
Historically, many wirehaired dogs helped hunt or exterminate vermin, with the dead outer coat being removed naturally as they worked.
Today, wirehaired breeds are mostly pets, and their outer coat does not shed easily without stimulation by plucking techniques.
Once the dead outer coat is plucked, the soft and silky undercoat becomes visible and the new, healthy outer coat can begin to grow. How do you pluck a dog’s coat? To pluck a dog’s coat, use your fingers or a special plucking knife to pull the dead hairs from the outer coat.
This should be done gently and evenly so as not to hurt the dog and to get an even result.
It is important to pluck regularly to keep the coat healthy and neat.
