De-Shedding
De-shedding treatments for short and long coats — dramatically less hair on your floors. Murrumba Downs, North Brisbane.
Professional De-Shedding
If you’re sweeping up drifts of dog hair every day, a professional de-shedding treatment will change your house. Our de-shedding service in Murrumba Downs removes the loose, dead undercoat that brushing at home barely touches — using a warm bath, conditioning treatment, a thorough blow-out that pushes dead coat free, and specialist de-shedding tools worked through the coat in a calm, unhurried one-on-one session. It’s priced per hour by coat length and dog size, because an hour on a Labrador is a different job to an hour on a Husky.
De-shedding is the right service for double-coated and heavy-shedding breeds — Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Corgis, Cattle Dogs — especially during the big spring and autumn moults. It’s also the honest alternative to shaving a double coat, which we generally advise against: the undercoat is the problem, and de-shedding removes it while protecting the coat that should stay.
The problems we solve

- Seasonal moults that overwhelm home brushing
- Hot, impacted undercoat trapping heat through Queensland summers
- Requests to "just shave" double-coated breeds that would damage the coat

Do's and Don'ts
Do
- Book at the start of the spring and autumn moults for the biggest payoff
- Keep up light brushing at home between treatments
- Combine de-shedding with a bath and tidy for a complete freshen-up
- Ask us which brush actually suits your dog's coat — most homes own the wrong one
Don't
- Shave a double-coated breed to stop shedding — it can wreck the coat and doesn't fix the cause
- Use cheap "de-shedding blades" aggressively at home; they can cut healthy topcoat
- Expect zero shedding afterwards — expect dramatically less, for weeks
- Leave months between treatments for heavy moulters and expect one session to catch up
Frequently Asked Questions
Per hour: short hair $80–$110 by size; long hair $100–$130 by size. We'll estimate the hours when we see the coat and can quote before starting.
Double-coated and heavy-shedding breeds — Labs, Goldens, Shepherds, Huskies, Corgis, Cattle Dogs, Border Collies and their mixes.
Most owners see a dramatic reduction for several weeks after a full treatment, especially when booked seasonally.
Commonly 1–2 hours depending on size, coat density and how far into the moult we are.
No — done properly it's closer to a long massage-and-brush. Our one-on-one pace keeps it relaxed.
Shaving removes the protective topcoat, can cause patchy regrowth, and doesn't stop shedding — the undercoat still comes out, just shorter. De-shedding targets the actual problem.
Heavy shedders: every 4–8 weeks through moulting season, and a maintenance treatment or two in between.
It can — removing impacted undercoat lets air reach the skin, and we'll flag anything we find underneath.
Yes — short-coated shedders like Labs are some of our best results, which is why short hair has its own pricing.
