What do customers ask about Deshedding Treatment?
Common questions and tips from our work with Old Mill Creek customers.
How long does a deshedding treatment last?
Most Lake County pets shed heaviest in spring and fall when the coat switches seasons. A good deshedding session usually cuts loose fur noticeably for four to six weeks, though double-coated breeds often benefit from a second visit partway through the season. Regular brushing at home between appointments stretches the results even further.
Will deshedding hurt my dog's or cat's coat?
Not when it is done with the right tools and a patient hand. We use undercoat rakes and coat-specific deshedding tools on clean, conditioned fur, never blades that can nick or thin a healthy coat. Anxious pets get breaks when they need them, and shaving is never part of a proper deshedding treatment.
Tip
Book ahead of the spring and fall blowout
Double-coated breeds like huskies, shepherds, and many farm cats drop most of that undercoat in a two to three week window. Getting your pet on the table early in the season means we remove the dead fur in one thorough session instead of you vacuuming it out of rugs around Old Mill Creek for a month.
Tip
Never shave a double coat to stop shedding
Shaving a double-coated dog or cat does not reduce shedding, it shortens the fur that sheds. Worse, the coat can grow back patchy and loses its ability to insulate against both heat and cold. A proper undercoat removal keeps the guard hairs intact and the pet comfortable through Illinois summers and winters.
