Dog De-Shedding Treatment in Charlotte, NC

Double-coated dogs blow their undercoat twice a year, and a normal bath barely touches it. Our de-shedding treatment loosens, lifts, and removes that dead undercoat so your dog is cooler, your house is cleaner, and the coat can breathe again.

What's included

  • De-shedding bath

    A shampoo and conditioner system that swells and releases the dead undercoat before brushing begins.

  • High-velocity blowout

    Forced-air drying pushes loose coat out at the skin — the single most effective step in the process.

  • Undercoat rake & line brushing

    Hand work section by section until the coat releases cleanly and lies flat.

  • Nails, ears & pads

    Nail trim, ear cleaning, and paw pad tidy included with every de-shedding appointment.

  • Skin check

    We flag hot spots, dryness, or matting at the skin line and tell you exactly what we found.

  • Coat plan

    A recommended schedule so the next shed cycle is far easier to manage.

De-shedding is priced by size and coat condition and can be added to any bath or haircut. Call (980) 307-0940 for an exact quote for your breed.

How the appointment works

  1. 1. Coat assessment

    We check coat density, matting, and skin condition to decide how aggressive the treatment can safely be.

  2. 2. De-shedding bath

    Two washes with a de-shedding shampoo and a conditioning treatment to loosen the undercoat.

  3. 3. High-velocity dry

    Forced-air drying blows loose undercoat free while drying the dog to the skin — no cage dryers.

  4. 4. Brush out

    Undercoat rake and line brushing through every section until the coat releases cleanly.

  5. 5. Finish

    Nails, ears, pads, sanitary trim, and a final once-over before pickup.

De-shedding treatment FAQ

How much does dog de-shedding cost in Charlotte?

Pricing depends on your dog's size and how much undercoat is packed in. Most de-shedding treatments are added to a bath or full groom — call (980) 307-0940 and we'll quote your breed and coat honestly before you book.

How often should my dog get a de-shedding treatment?

Most double-coated dogs do best every 8–12 weeks, with an extra treatment at the start of spring and fall shedding seasons.

Will de-shedding stop the shedding completely?

No treatment stops shedding entirely, but removing the dead undercoat typically reduces loose hair in the house dramatically for several weeks.

Should I shave my double-coated dog instead?

We don't recommend it. Shaving a double coat can damage regrowth and remove the insulation that keeps your dog cool. De-shedding is the safer, more effective option.

How long does a de-shedding appointment take?

Usually 2–4 hours depending on size and coat density. We never rush the blowout — that's where most of the results come from.
