Deshedding Treatment in Woodstock, ON
Professional undercoat removal that cuts shedding by up to 90% and keeps your furniture fur-free.
Why Your Pet Needs a Deshedding Treatment
If you're vacuuming twice a day and still finding tumbleweeds of fur under the couch, your pet's undercoat is the culprit. Dogs and cats with double coats shed year-round, but spring and fall bring massive blowouts. A deshedding treatment pulls out all that loose, dead hair before it lands on your black pants or your kid's bed.
We use specialized tools and techniques that reach deep into the undercoat without cutting or damaging the topcoat. You'll see a dramatic difference after one session. Most clients tell us their vacuum gets a break for weeks. If you've got a heavy shedder, pairing this with regular Dog Grooming or Cat Grooming keeps things manageable all year.
What Happens During a Deshedding Session
We start with a warm bath using a deshedding shampoo that loosens the undercoat. While your pet's still wet, we work through the coat with high-velocity dryers that blow out tons of loose fur. Then comes the hands-on part: we use undercoat rakes, slicker brushes, and shedding blades to pull out everything that's ready to go.
The whole process takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on your pet's size and coat condition. Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Maine Coons - they all benefit big time. We finish with a light trim if needed and a final brush-through so they leave looking sleek. Clients in Woodstock and over in Ingersoll book this every 6 to 8 weeks during peak shedding season.
Breeds That Benefit Most
Any dog or cat with a double coat is a prime candidate. Labradors, Pomeranians, Corgis, Aussies, Malamutes - they all have that thick undercoat that traps dead hair. Long-haired cats like Persians and Ragdolls shed just as much as dogs. Even short-haired breeds like Pugs can surprise you with how much fur comes out.
If you're not sure whether your pet needs it, just look at your floors. If you're constantly sweeping or lint-rolling, the answer's yes. We also offer Breed Specific Grooming for pets with unique coat needs, and Puppy Grooming to get young dogs used to the process early.
How Often Should You Book a Deshedding Treatment
Most double-coated pets do best with a treatment every 4 to 8 weeks. Heavy shedders or dogs blowing their coat might need it monthly. If your pet's shedding is mild or you brush at home regularly, every 8 to 12 weeks works fine.
Spring and fall are the busiest times because that's when undercoats really let loose. Book ahead if you want an appointment in April or October. We serve Woodstock and nearby spots like Tillsonburg, so you've got options if your schedule's tight.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a deshedding treatment cost?
Prices start around $70 for small dogs and cats, and go up to $150 for large or extra-furry breeds like Huskies or Saint Bernards. We'll give you an exact quote based on your pet's size and coat condition when you book.
Will deshedding hurt my dog or cat?
Not at all. We use tools designed to grab loose undercoat without pulling or cutting the healthy topcoat. Most pets find it relaxing, kind of like a deep massage. If your pet's matted or has skin issues, we'll adjust our approach to keep them comfortable.
Can I just brush my pet at home instead?
Home brushing helps between appointments, but it won't reach the deep undercoat the way our tools and technique do. A professional deshedding treatment pulls out way more fur in one session than weeks of brushing at home. You'll see the difference right away.
