Tackle the undercoat
Clearwater dog de-shedding treatments.
A de-shedding session loosens dead undercoat with a special shampoo and conditioner, then blows it free with a high-velocity dryer and finishes with careful raking.
What sets the cost of a de-shedding visit.
The hair does not stop coming, but there is a lot less of it on your floors and clothes afterward.
- Thick undercoats on shepherds, huskies, labs and corgis mean longer sessions and higher prices.
- Dogs in this climate shed a bit year-round, so there is no strict season to wait for.
- A full bath, blow-out and nail trim costs more than a quick brush-through.
- Clipping a double coat down does not cure shedding and may expose skin to sun.
- Return visits every two months keep the undercoat from building up again.
- A good undercoat rake at home between appointments makes the results last.

What does de-shedding run in Clearwater?
Sessions usually cost about $58 to $132 depending on size and undercoat. Packages that add a haircut cost more.
Will my dog stop shedding afterward?
No, but the loose hair that would have drifted around your house is removed, and many owners see a clear drop for a few weeks.
Is a summer shave smarter for a double-coated dog?
Most groomers advise against it, because the coat insulates and shades the skin. Removing loose undercoat is generally the better way to stay cool.
When is the best time to book one?
Any time works here, and many people book at the first sign of heavy shedding. Every six to nine weeks suits many dogs.
