Part of a bath or full groom
Deshedding treatments for heavy-coated dogs in northern Indiana
Double-coated dogs — huskies, shepherds, labs, goldens, corgis — blow their coat twice a year, and northern Indiana's swing from February cold to a humid June makes it dramatic. Brushing at home barely reaches the undercoat.
A deshedding treatment is a bath with a loosening shampoo, a high-velocity dry that pushes dead undercoat out at the skin, and a thorough rake and brush-out. It happens in our van, so the fur does not end up on your rug.
What the visit covers
- Deshedding shampoo and conditioner soak
- High-velocity blow-out to lift dead undercoat
- Undercoat rake and full brush-out down to the skin
- Skin check for hot spots, dryness, and irritation
- Nails, ears, and sanitary trim as part of the bath package
Why it is easier in the van
- The loose coat stays in the van instead of drifting through your house.
- No cage dryers — your dog is dried by hand and goes straight back inside.
- We can put you on a spring and fall rhythm so shedding season never gets ahead of you.
Common questions
- Should I just have my double-coated dog shaved?
- Usually not. A double coat insulates against heat as well as cold, and shaving it can cause patchy regrowth and sunburn. A proper deshed removes the dead layer and lets air reach the skin.
- How often does a shedding dog need this?
- Most heavy shedders do well every six to eight weeks, tightened up during spring and fall coat blows.
