De-Shedding Treatment in Orlando, FL — Mobile Service to Your Door

De-shedding treatment addresses the root cause of heavy home shedding: loose undercoat that has not been properly removed. The appointment begins with a pre-bath brushout using deShedding tools to remove surface loose hair.

The dog then receives a specialized deShedding shampoo, which loosens the undercoat's bond to the skin through conditioning and proteolytic action. After rinsing, we apply a deShedding conditioner and let it penetrate for several minutes.

The key step is the blow-dry process. Professional forced-air dryers operated at full velocity physically blow out the loosened undercoat. This step requires time — a Husky or German Shepherd can yield extraordinary quantities of undercoat during this phase.

The appointment concludes with a thorough post-dry brushout using slicker brushes and deShedding rakes to remove remaining loose coat. Nail trimming can be added. Total appointment time: 1.5-3 hours depending on breed and undercoat density.

De-shedding pricing in Greater Orlando ranges from $65 for small breeds to $175 for giant double-coated breeds. The higher price reflects significantly longer appointment time and specialized products compared to a standard bath.

We recommend scheduling de-shedding quarterly for most breeds, and bi-monthly for heavy shedders like Huskies, Samoyeds, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Consistent treatment reduces home shedding year-round.

Double-coated breeds face a common misconception in Florida: that shaving the coat will keep them cooler. In fact, shaving a double-coated breed can damage the coat permanently and paradoxically causes more heat retention because the undercoat grows back unevenly without the outer coat's protection.

De-shedding is the appropriate method. Removing the dense loose undercoat allows air to circulate through the remaining coat, which actually cools the dog more effectively. In Greater Orlando's summer heat, a properly deShedded Husky or Golden Retriever manages heat better than a shaved one.
