A thorough wash, blow-dry, and brush-out to keep your dog fresh between grooms.
Dog De-Shedding Treatment in Saint Petersburg, FL
A treatment built specifically to pull out loose undercoat, not just the surface fur.
Double-coated breeds — huskies, German Shepherds, retrievers, and similar — carry a dense undercoat that sheds heavily, especially during seasonal blowouts. Regular brushing at home only reaches so much of it. Our de-shedding treatment uses specialized tools and technique to safely pull the loose undercoat out without damaging the topcoat, meaningfully cutting down on how much fur ends up around your home afterward.
What's included
- Bath with a shampoo that helps release the undercoat
- High-velocity dry to push loose coat free from the skin
- Undercoat rake and thorough brush-out
- Topcoat left intact — no shaving down
A de-shed treatment helps most if
- You have a double-coated breed — husky, shepherd, retriever, malamute
- There's fur on your furniture, car, and clothes constantly
- Seasonal shedding has started and brushing isn't keeping up
- The coat feels dense or packed underneath
What happens during your visit
Coat assessment
We check how much undercoat is loose and whether there's matting that needs addressing first.
Bath and deep rinse
A de-shedding shampoo helps release the undercoat before any tools come out.
High-velocity dry
This is where most of the loose undercoat actually comes out — the dryer pushes it free from the skin.
Rake and brush-out
The remaining loose coat is worked out with tools designed to reach the undercoat without stripping the topcoat.
Common Questions
Dog De-Shedding Treatment FAQs
Will a de-shedding treatment stop my dog from shedding?
No treatment stops shedding entirely — it's a natural process. What it does is remove the loose undercoat now, so far less of it ends up on your floors and furniture over the following weeks.
Is de-shedding safe for double-coated dogs?
Yes, when it's done correctly. We remove loose undercoat without shaving or stripping the topcoat, which is what protects a double-coated dog from both heat and sun.
How often should my dog get a de-shed treatment?
Most double-coated dogs benefit from one every few months, with extra sessions in spring and fall when they blow their coat.
Can you de-shed my dog without a full groom?
It's usually added to a bath or groom, since a clean, fully dried coat releases far more undercoat. Call us and we'll suggest the best combination for your dog.
