Why to get your double coated dog groomed regularly:
Breeds like the Siberian Husky, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Pomeranian all have this type of coat.
1. It removes trapped dead undercoat
Double-coated dogs naturally “blow their coat” seasonally. A groomer uses tools (undercoat rakes, high-velocity dryers, special brushes) to remove the loose undercoat that gets trapped beneath the topcoat.
2. It prevents matting and skin problems.
When loose undercoat stays trapped, it can form dense mats close to the skin. These mats:
* Trap moisture
* Cause irritation or hotspots
* Reduce airflow to the skin
3. Helps temperature regulation
The undercoat works like insulation. If too much dead undercoat builds up, the coat can’t regulate temperature properly, which can make the dog hotter in warm weather.
4. Reduces shedding at home
A proper deshed removes a large amount of loose fur at once, meaning *less hair around the house* for weeks afterward.
5. Maintains coat health without shaving
Double coats should usually *not be shaved* (except for medical reasons) because shaving can damage the coat’s regrowth and its natural protection. Deshedding removes loose hair without harming the coat structure.
✅ In a short: Deshedding removes dead undercoat so the coat can breathe, regulate temperature, and stay healthy. 🐾🐶🐩
