Fewer hairs on the floor
Double-coat de-shedding in Franklin, TN.
A de-shedding session uses a special shampoo, a conditioner and a high-velocity dryer to loosen dead undercoat, then a thorough brush-out removes it. It suits shepherds, retrievers, huskies and other double-coated dogs.
What drives de-shedding prices.
It does not end shedding, but it can cut the hair on your furniture sharply for several weeks.
- Thick undercoats on huskies, shepherds and Great Pyrenees take the most time and cost the most.
- Tennessee dogs tend to blow coat in spring and again in fall, so these are the busiest and most useful times to book.
- A session that includes a full bath and blow-out costs more than a brush-out alone.
- Shaving a double-coated dog is not a cure. It can interfere with the coat's insulation and the hair still grows back.
- Booking every six to eight weeks keeps the undercoat under control and makes each visit quicker.
- Brushing with an undercoat rake at home between sessions stretches the results.

What does de-shedding cost in Franklin?
Typical sessions run about $55 to $130, depending on size and undercoat. Sessions combined with a haircut cost more.
Does de-shedding actually work?
It removes the loose undercoat that would otherwise end up on the floor. Your dog will still shed, but many owners see a big drop for a few weeks.
Should I shave my husky or shepherd for summer?
Most groomers advise against it. The undercoat helps regulate temperature and shields the skin, so thinning it is usually the safer option.
When is the best time to book?
Late March through May and again in October and November, when dogs drop the most coat.
