De-shedding treatment

A de-shedding treatment is for pet parents who are tired of finding fur on every couch, rug, and pair of black pants. It targets the loose undercoat that heavy shedders like labs, huskies, and shepherds drop constantly. When you ask for this service, you want less hair in your home and a lighter, more comfortable dog. We start by checking your dog's coat condition and noting any skin sensitivities before we begin.

First, we brush through the entire coat to lift and remove the loose undercoat. Then your dog gets a thorough bath, which washes away the hair that the brushing loosened but didn't pull out. After drying, we brush again to catch any remaining dead hair. The process is gentle and methodical, working section by section so we don't miss anything. Your dog ends up with a clean, airy coat that sheds far less for weeks.

What makes one de-shedding treatment different from another is the dog in front of us. A short-coated dog with a light undercoat takes less time than a thick-coated shepherd in full shed. The length and density of the coat, the size of the dog, and how much undercoat has built up all affect how long the job takes and what it costs. We adjust our approach based on what your dog needs, not a one-size-fits-all routine.

To book, call us or send a message and we'll find a time that works. Before you come, tell us about any skin issues, mats, or how your dog handles being brushed. The appointment typically takes a couple of hours, depending on your dog's coat. Between grooms, regular brushing at home helps keep the undercoat from building up. Most heavy shedders benefit from this treatment every few months, especially during shedding season.
