The Process

What to Expect on De-Shed Day

1

Coat Assessment & Pre-Brush

We assess coat thickness, undercoat density, and check for any matting or skin issues. Loose surface hair is brushed out before the bath so the shampoo can penetrate down to the skin.

2

De-Shed Shampoo & Conditioner

We use a specialized de-shedding shampoo and conditioner that loosens the undercoat and lifts dead hair away from the skin. Both products sit for 5–8 minutes for full effect.

3

High-Velocity Blow-Out

The high-velocity dryer is the real star — it blasts loose undercoat out from the skin level up. Expect a literal cloud of dog hair. This step alone removes 60–70% of the dead coat.

4

Furminator & Hand-Brush Out

We finish with the Furminator de-shedding tool and a slicker brush, working in sections from skin out. By the end, 90%+ of loose undercoat is gone — and you're left wondering how it all fit on one dog.

FAQ

De-Shedding Questions Answered

For heavy double-coated breeds (Huskies, Malamutes, Goldens, Shepherds, Newfies), every 6–10 weeks year-round keeps shedding manageable. During spring and fall "coat blowing" seasons, you may want to come every 4–6 weeks. Short-coat doubles (Labs, Boxers, Pugs) usually do well every 8–10 weeks. Most clients tell us they vacuum half as often once they're on a regular de-shed schedule.

Doodles, Poodles, Bichons, and Maltese have hair (not fur) and don't truly shed — but they DO mat heavily, which is the opposite problem. For these breeds we recommend our de-matting + full groom service rather than a Furminator treatment. Furminators on non-shedding breeds can actually damage the coat. We'll always honestly tell you what your dog needs at drop-off — no upselling treatments that don't help.

Not at all when done correctly. Furminator and slicker tools only remove dead, loose undercoat — they shouldn't pull on living guard hairs. The high-velocity dryer is loud but feels like a strong wind. Most dogs actually love the bath-and-blow-out and leave feeling lighter and cooler. If your dog has skin sensitivities, hot spots, or recent surgery, just tell us at booking and we'll modify the treatment.
