What Is Deshedding?

Deshedding is a specialized grooming process that removes dead hair from your dog’s undercoat — the soft, dense fur beneath the topcoat that typically sheds with the seasons.

Unlike standard brushing or bathing, deshedding uses specific tools, techniques, and coat-safe products to:

  • Loosen and release the undercoat

  • Reduce overall shedding between grooms

  • Prevent matting and skin irritation

  • Improve coat texture and health

It’s the perfect solution for dogs who leave a trail of fur behind them — especially during spring and fall coat blows.

What’s Included in Our Deshedding Service?

Our deshedding treatment is a multi-step process designed to be both effective and gentle. Every session includes:

  • Deep cleansing bath with deshedding shampoo

  • Conditioner designed to soften and loosen undercoat

  • High-velocity blow-dry to remove loose hair and dander

  • Undercoat removal with professional deshedding tools (Furminator, slicker brushes, rakes)

  • Final brush-out for a polished, finished look

  • Ear cleaning, nail trim, and paw pad care available

The result? A cleaner, fluffier, and noticeably less-sheddy dog.

Deshedding vs. Shaving: What You Should Know

Pair your dog’s bath with additional hygiene and comfort upgrades:

"I often get asked, 'Can you just shave my dog to stop the shedding?' The answer: Not for double-coated breeds."

Shaving a double coat can damage the hair follicles, cause patchy regrowth, and interfere with your dog’s natural ability to regulate temperature.

Deshedding is a much safer and healthier way to manage excess fur. It keeps the coat intact while removing only the loose, dead hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I book deshedding?

    We recommend every 6–8 weeks for heavy shedders. Some dogs benefit from seasonal appointments only, while others need year-round care

  • Will this stop all shedding?

    No grooming service can't eliminate shedding completely, but our treatment drastically reduces it for several weeks — especially with regular upkeep.

  • Is deshedding safe for all dogs?

    Yes, when done correctly. We assess each dog’s coat and skin condition before beginning. All products and tools used are pet-safe and coat-appropriate.


  • Can I add this to a full-service groom?

    Absolutely. Deshedding can be a standalone service or added to any grooming package for extra coat care.


  • What does the De-Shedding Groom price cover?

    The price is all-inclusive of the complete de-shedding process. Unlike many other salons, we bundle essential maintenance with this service: the cost includes the specialized de-shed treatment, nail trimming, the pads of the feet, and ear cleaning.
