Control the loose undercoat
Dog de-shedding treatment in San Diego.
A de-shedding session combines a loosening shampoo and conditioner, high-velocity drying and a long brush-out to lift dead undercoat from double-coated and heavy shedders.
What moves the price of de-shedding.
It will not end shedding altogether, but it can sharply reduce loose hair around the house for several weeks.
- Huskies, shepherds, retrievers and other thick-undercoat breeds need the longest sessions and cost the most.
- Many San Diego dogs shed a little all year thanks to the mild weather, so you can schedule it whenever hair becomes a problem.
- A session that also includes a full bath and finish costs more than a quick brush-out.
- Clipping a double coat down to the skin is not a cure, and it can make the coat grow back uneven.
- A visit every six to eight weeks keeps loose hair under control and shortens each appointment.
- A good undercoat rake or deshedding brush at home makes the results last longer.

Before you book.
How much does de-shedding cost in San Diego?
Expect about $60 to $135 per session, depending on size and the thickness of the undercoat. Pairing it with a full groom costs more.
Does de-shedding actually cut down on hair?
It takes out the dead undercoat that would otherwise land on floors and furniture. Your dog still sheds a bit, but the difference is often easy to see.
Should a double-coated dog be shaved for summer?
Most groomers say no. The coat helps insulate against heat and sun, so removing the loose undercoat is the safer way to cool things down.
How often should I book de-shedding?
Every six to eight weeks suits many dogs, with a few extra visits during heavy seasonal shedding.
