What’s the Difference? – De-Shedding

De-shedding is the removal of loose undercoat and dead hair. It helps reduce the amount of fur your dog sheds in your home and keeps their skin healthy and breathable.

At Pet Inn, we prioritize gentle techniques and ethical grooming. We never force or pull mats. If a mat can’t be brushed out comfortably, we’ll discuss safe clip-down options with you during the consultation.

Our De-Shedding & De-Matting Process

Our De-Shedding & De-Matting Process

 We check your dog’s coat and skin before starting to determine the level of matting or shedding and select the right tools.

Pre-Bath Brushing (if needed)

Light matting may be gently brushed out before bathing to reduce tugging after the coat is wet.

Coat-Specific Hypoallergenic Shampoo

We use high-quality, vegan and non-toxic shampoos and conditioners to cleanse, moisturize, and loosen dead hair or tangles.

Blow Dry with High-Velocity Dryer

Blow drying removes loosened undercoat and fluffs the fur for easier brushing.

Detailed Brushing & Removal

We gently remove shed fur or isolate and work through tangles using dematting combs, rakes, and specialty tools.

Finishing Touches

Nail trimming, ear cleaning, spritz, and a bow or bandana if desired.

FAQs – De-Shedding & De-Matting

  • How long does de-shedding take?

    Typically 60–90 minutes, depending on coat length and thickness. Some double coats may require extra brushing and drying time.

  • Will you shave my dog if they’re matted?

    Only if the mats are too tight to remove without causing pain. If shaving is needed, Alyssa will explain the situation and discuss next steps with you before proceeding.

  • Does de-shedding help reduce shedding in my home?

    Yes — it can reduce visible shedding by up to 80% when done regularly. We recommend every 4–6 weeks during peak shedding seasons.

  • Do you de-mat poodles or doodles with curly coats?

    Yes, but with a gentle, humane approach. We’ll work through manageable tangles and offer clip-down options for more severe cases.
