Deshedding Treatment in Chicago IL

We're a pet groomer focused on dogs and cats right here in Chicago IL. We see excessive shedding on the table every single day, so we know what works and what doesn't. Our groomers use the right combination of de-shed brushing, high-velocity drying, and coat-specific rinses to actually move the hair out rather than just fluff it around.

A lot of pet owners don't realize how much loose coat is sitting in their dog's undercoat until we finish a session. We offer this as a standalone deshed package or as an add-on to a full groom. Either way, you'll leave with a dog that sheds noticeably less in the days that follow.

Chicago IL gets real seasons. That means your dog's coat goes through heavy blowouts in spring and fall when the undercoat shifts with the temperature change. Pet shedding spikes around those transitions, and if you have a dog with a thick double coat, that's when you'll notice fur on every surface in your home. Booking a deshedding treatment before and after those seasonal shifts keeps the mess manageable and gives your dog's skin room to breathe.

Double Coats and Why They Need Extra Help

Breeds with double coats, like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds, don't shed the same way a single-coat dog does. Their undercoat grows in dense and sheds in clumps, not evenly. Standard brushing at home rarely reaches deep enough to do much good.

Our de-shed treatment is built specifically for this. We get the loose undercoat before it ends up in your vacuum. Dogs that come in for regular deshedding sessions tend to shed far less between appointments, and their coats look better too.

Shed Release as a Grooming Add-On

If your dog is already booked for a bath and trim, adding a shed release is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you can make. We offer both a Shed Release and a Shed Release Plus option depending on coat thickness and how much loose hair needs to come out.

The plus version adds extra drying time and a second pass with the deshedding tools, which is worth it for dogs that have gone a while between grooms or are in the middle of a heavy seasonal blowout. Ask us which one fits your dog when you book.

Shedding Control That Actually Lasts

One deshedding session makes a real difference. Regular sessions make a bigger one. Shedding control isn't about stopping the natural process, it's about staying ahead of it so your dog isn't constantly dropping hair all over your home.

Dog deshedding done on a consistent schedule, every four to eight weeks depending on the breed, keeps the undercoat from building up between visits. We'll tell you how often makes sense for your specific dog after we see the coat in person.
