Why De-Shedding and De-Matting Matter
Many pet owners underestimate how much discomfort a tangled, shedding coat can cause. Left untreated, matting and excessive undercoat buildup can lead to
Skin irritation or infection
Skin irritation or infection
Painful pulling on the skin
Hot spots or yeast buildup
Reduced mobility or stiff movement
Overheating in warm weather
Our services are designed to not only improve your dog’s appearance but also their overall health and comfort.
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.
Double-coated breeds (e.g., Labradors, Huskies, Corgis)
Seasonal coat blow-outs
Dogs that shed excessively indoors
We use high-velocity drying, coat-specific deshedding tools, and conditioning treatments to release dead coat safely and effectively — without damaging the topcoat.
De-Matting
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.
Long-haired breeds with neglected brushing
Dogs with cottony or curly coats (e.g., Shih Tzus, Doodles, Maltese)

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.
