Cut down on loose hair at home
Dog de-shedding in West Palm Beach: what to expect.
De-shedding is a targeted service for dogs that leave a trail of hair. It works by loosening and removing the dead undercoat during the bath and dry, and it does not change how fast the hair grows.
What affects de-shedding costs.
Prices depend mostly on the size of the dog and how much undercoat there is to remove.
- Double-coated breeds, such as shepherds and retrievers, need more time than single-coated ones.
- Weight controls both the product used and the minutes spent drying.
- A coat that has not been brushed in months takes extra passes.
- Packages that add nails or a spritz of conditioner cost a bit more.
- Salons sometimes discount three or four sessions bought together.
- The service is not a cure for shedding caused by diet, stress or skin problems, and a vet should look at those.

Before you book.
How long does the effect last?
Most owners see lighter shedding for a few weeks. The dog keeps growing new hair, so the benefit fades.
Is de-shedding the same as shaving?
No. Shaving cuts the hair, while de-shedding removes loose undercoat and keeps the protective guard hairs.
Do short-haired dogs benefit?
Yes. Short coats such as those on pugs and beagles shed fine hairs that a good treatment can lift out.
Can I get the same result at home?
Partly, with an undercoat rake and a lot of patience. A groomer's dryer reaches deep hair faster.
