The Benefits of Deshedding Treatments for Double-Coated Dogs in Atlanta

If you own a double-coated breed in Atlanta, Buckhead, Brookhaven, or Virginia Highlands, you know the struggle—hair everywhere! Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and other double-coated dogs shed heavily, especially during seasonal changes. Regular deshedding treatments are essential to maintaining their coat health and reducing loose fur in your home.

With Woofie’s mobile dog grooming service, we specialize in a three-step deshedding process designed to keep your pup’s coat manageable while promoting healthy skin and fur.

Why Deshedding Treatments Matter for Double-Coated Breeds

Double-coated breeds have a dense undercoat that sheds year-round, with peak shedding seasons in the spring and fall. Without proper maintenance, their fur can become impacted, leading to discomfort, skin issues, and excessive shedding in your home. Our professional deshedding treatment reduces shedding by up to 80% while keeping your dog’s coat in optimal condition.

The Three-Step Deshedding Process

  1. Deep-Cleansing Deshedding Shampoo 
     We start with a specialized deshedding shampoo that penetrates the thick undercoat, loosening dead hair and dander. This shampoo helps remove dirt and excess oils while keeping the coat soft and manageable. 
     
  2. Nourishing Deshedding Conditioner 
     Next, we apply a deep-conditioning treatment formulated for double-coated breeds. This conditioner helps release stubborn loose fur while moisturizing the skin, reducing dryness and irritation. 
     
  3. Finishing Mist & Blowout 
     The final step includes a lightweight deshedding mist to help repel loose fur and keep the coat smooth. We follow this with a high-velocity blowout, effectively removing excess hair while leaving your pup feeling fresh and clean. 

The Benefits of Regular Deshedding Treatments 

  • Prevents matting and impacted undercoat buildup 
  • Keeps your home cleaner with less pet hair 
  • Promotes healthy skin by removing dead fur and dander 
  • Enhances coat texture and shine

Regular deshedding treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks, especially for high-shedding breeds like Golden Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, Corgis, and Australian Shepherds.

Deshed Treatments FAQs

  • Can I just get a Nail Trim?

    Absolutely! We will work with you to schedule the nail trim when we are in your ,neighborhood or notify you of special events where you are welcome to come to us.

  • What do you recommend for a dog that sheds?

    Shedding is a natural process that occurs when dogs release excess fur and can be a major issue for pet parents. The amount of shedding that occurs can depend on the time of year and of course the breed of your dog. Woofie’s expert groomers can assist your pet’s natural shedding process with our 3-Step DeShed Treatment! All three steps within the Woofie’s 3-Step DeShed Treatment utilize specially patented Coat Release technology to remove mats and tangles, and release excess fur easily without pulling or damage.

    Our 3-Step DeShed Treatment is safe for dogs of all ages and coat types.

  • What does special handling mean?

    Special handling typically refers to pets with unique needs related to their size, coat condition, age, or medical requirements. In some cases, a special handling fee may be charged to account for these circumstances.

  • Can I request a groomer?

    Yes, if you love your groomer, please feel free to request them for your next service when booking your appointments.

  • How long does the grooming take?

    We estimate the process takes between 1-2 hours depending on the breed of your pet, condition of their coat, frequency of grooms, and your pet’s behavior.

  • Is there a weight/size limit?

    All our locations do set their own weight and size limits. Typically, dogs below 80lbs can be accommodated. Please check with your local Woofie’s for specifics.

  • Do I have to be home for the groom?

    We do ask that you are home for your pet’s first grooming appointment. After our initial visit, we can discuss alternative access options, so you do not need to be home for future grooms.

  • Will the groomer come to the door to get the dog, or do I need to bring him out?

    Upon arrival, your Woofie’s groomer will come to the door to get your pet. Once your pet's grooming appointment is complete, your groomer will bring them back to you—pampered, fresh, and clean!

  • Can I be in the van with my dog during the grooming?

    It is our company policy that clients are not allowed in the van during the actual groom unless there is a health or behavior-related issue where the groomer requires the client's assistance. The safety of your pet is always our first priority!

  • Can I see inside the van or take a tour?

    Absolutely—in fact, we encourage it! Just let us know at the time of booking your appointment so we can be sure to let the groomer know you would like a tour.

  • What kind of products do you use? Are they hypoallergenic?

    We offer a variety of premium, luxury shampoos and products for you to choose from, including hypoallergenic options.

  • If I bathe my pet, would the grooming price be less? Can we have the groom without the bath?

    The cost of grooming remains the same whether or not you bathe your pet beforehand. In most cases, our groomer will need to bathe your pet themselves to ensure the coat is fully clean. A dirty coat can damage grooming equipment and may affect the quality of the final result. In certain situations—such as specific behavioral or medical needs—we may allow you to bathe your pet in advance. If this applies, we’ll work with you to determine the best approach.

  • What if my pet is matted?

    Mats on your dog’s fur aren’t just unsightly, they can also be very painful. At Woofie’s, we take the stress and discomfort out of dematting with our combination treatment. First, we apply a pretreatment to soften and loosen the mats, followed by the use of specialized tools to gently and safely work them out. Each core package includes 15 minutes of brushing and dematting; if additional time is needed, your groomer will review the options with you.
     

    Please note: If mats are too severe to be humanely combed out, we may recommend shaving or, in some cases, seeking veterinary care.”

  • Do you need anything (connection to water or power) for the van?

    Woofie’s Mobile Pet Spas are state-of-the-art and fully self-contained. We do not need to connect to your home’s power or water supply.

  • Does mobile grooming cost more than grooming in a brick-and-mortar salon?

    Yes, mobile grooming generally costs more than a traditional salon visit because it is a premium, specialized service. Mobile grooming offers the convenience of coming to your home, using high-quality products, and provides your pet with one-on-one, personalized care. Since each Mobile Pet Groomer can only see a limited number of pets per day, your pet receives the groomer’s full attention from start to finish. Unlike high-volume salons, mobile grooming is designed to reduce stress for your dog while saving you time and adding convenience.

  • How often should my pet be groomed?

    On average, most pets need grooming every 4 – 6 weeks, but every breed is different. It also depends on how long or short you like to keep the hair on your pet.
