De-Shedding for Large Dogs
If you’ve got a big, fluffy dog at home, you already know the struggle — fur on the couch, fur on your clothes, fur everywhere. Large and double-coated breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Huskies carry a thick undercoat that sheds heavily, especially through seasonal changes.
What Is De-Shedding?
De-shedding is a specialised treatment that goes beyond a regular wash. Using a deep-conditioning shampoo and professional de-shedding tools, we work through your dog’s coat to gently remove loose, dead undercoat hair at the root — without clipping or shaving the topcoat. The result is a lighter, cooler, healthier-looking dog with noticeably less loose fur left behind.
Why Large Dogs Benefits Most
Big breeds carry significantly more coat volume than small dogs, which means more loose fur trapped close to the skin. Left untreated, this can lead to matting, overheating, and skin irritation. Regular de-shedding helps your large dog stay comfortable through Perth’s warmer months and keeps shedding under control between full grooms.
A Favourite at Freya's
De-shedding has become one of our most requested treatments — our groomer particularly enjoys working with the big, double-coated breeds, where the transformation is most visible. If your large dog could use some relief from a heavy coat, this treatment is worth booking in.
