Coco's Mobile Pet Grooming

    Dog De-Shedding in Southwest Ranches

    Finding fur on the sofa right after you’ve brushed your dog? There may still be loose undercoat waiting to come out. Coco’s brings extra coat care to your Southwest Ranches home as a grooming add-on, with more attention to drying and brushing where your dog needs it. We’ll check the coat and explain the price before starting.

    Mention the shedding when you book. If you want a separate de-shedding appointment, call us first to discuss the coat and get a quote.

    What de-shedding adds to your dog’s groom

    A brush-out already comes with our dog grooming packages. De-shedding is the extra work a coat may need when there’s more loose hair underneath than a routine brush-out can reasonably handle. We assess that work rather than automatically charging for it because of your dog’s breed.

    What’s included in the extra coat care

    • A check of the coat, loose undercoat and any tangled areas.
    • Discussion of the extra work and price before grooming begins.
    • Additional coat preparation and products suited to the coat.
    • Extra drying and brushing to help remove loose hair.
    • Advice on the areas that need attention between appointments.

    Your selected grooming package provides the bath and its usual hygiene care. De-shedding adds time and attention to loose-coat removal. It doesn’t automatically include a haircut or treatment for tight mats.

    Loose fur or a knot that won’t move?

    That distinction changes the appointment. Loose undercoat needs help coming out; tight, tangled hair may need a de-matting assessment or a different haircut plan. Let us know if your brush is getting stuck rather than simply filling up with hair.

    De-shedding starts at $20

    Published range:Our published add-on range is $20–$30. A larger dog, a dense or packed coat, or more extensive work can cost more.

    How we price the work:This is an additional charge on top of your grooming package. Weight gives us a useful starting point, but it doesn’t show how much loose coat is waiting underneath. The groomer checks that in person and discusses the price before beginning.

    There’s no automatic de-shedding charge for every double-coated dog. A well-maintained coat may need a different amount of work from one carrying a heavy buildup of loose hair.

    Separate visit:A separate de-shedding visit can sometimes be arranged after a consultation. Call with your dog’s breed, weight and coat history so we can discuss the work and quote; the add-on starting price isn’t the price for a standalone visit.

    Calculator clarification:Our pricing calculator helps you estimate the grooming package. Call us about extra coat work so we can explain what may be added after assessment.

    What Pet Owners Say About Coco’s

    These reviews come from Coco’s customers on Google.

    What happens in the van

    Tell us where the hair is building up and when your dog last had a thorough groom. We’ll look at the whole coat before deciding how much extra work it needs.

    1. Hear what you've noticed

    We ask about recent brushing and grooming, changes in shedding and any skin concerns you want us to see.

    2. Feel through the coat

    We check for loose undercoat, packed areas and tangles. Those aren't all the same problem, even when the top of the coat looks similar.

    3. Confirm the extra work

    We explain whether de-shedding is appropriate, the grooming package and any additional charge before starting.

    4. Bathe for the coat

    Your dog gets the bath included in the chosen package, with coat preparation and products suited to the agreed work.

    5. Dry and brush thoroughly

    We towel-dry, then hand blow-dry and brush, giving loose coat the extra attention we've discussed. We don't use cage dryers.

    6. Plan care between visits

    At handover, we'll explain what we found and which areas need brushing at home. Your dog will still shed, but you'll know more about what's happening underneath.

    A clean coat can still need extra work underneath

    A dog can smell lovely after a bath and still have loose coat caught underneath. That’s why the drying and brushing matter, too. The aim is to remove hair that’s ready to come away, not to promise that you’ll never find another hair on your clothes.

    Why the breed and weight don’t tell the whole story

    When a pet parent calls for a price, we start with breed and weight. They help us picture the coat and size. Then we ask when the dog was last groomed, what brushing is like at home and whether there are tangles. That part of the conversation can tell us much more about the work ahead.

    At the van, we check what the phone call couldn’t show us. Can we work through the coat easily, or is loose hair packed underneath? Are there knots that need a different approach? Those findings explain the extra work far better than a breed name on its own.

    If the coat is tightly matted, we’ll discuss that separately. And if your dog needs a body haircut, we’ll help you choose the appropriate grooming package. De-shedding, de-matting and a haircut solve different problems; the coat in front of us determines the plan.

    General guidance on double-coated breeds and undercoat comes from AKC’s double-coat guide.

    This is our Bath & Blow Dry overview. It shows the bath and drying stages that form part of a grooming visit; extra de-shedding work depends on the coat assessment.

    Questions before you book

    You don’t have to know your dog’s coat type to call us. Tell us what you’re seeing at home, and we’ll help you choose the right appointment.

    How much does dog de-shedding cost?
    De-shedding starts at $20 as an add-on to a grooming package. Our published add-on range is $20–$30, but a larger dog, dense or packed coat, or more extensive work can cost more. The groomer assesses the coat and discusses the price before starting.
    Is brushing already included in my grooming package?
    Yes, our dog grooming packages include their usual brush-out. De-shedding covers additional coat work when a routine brush-out isn't enough. We assess that need rather than automatically adding the charge based on breed.
    Will de-shedding stop my dog from shedding?
    No. De-shedding helps remove loose hair and undercoat, but it doesn't stop the natural shedding cycle. Some hair will still come out at home, and the amount varies with the dog and coat.
    Which grooming package should I book with de-shedding?
    A Bath & Blow Dry is one option if your dog doesn’t need trimming. Partial grooming adds a light tidy-up, while Full Dog Grooming includes a body haircut. Tell us what you want done so we can confirm the package and assess the extra coat work.
    Can I book de-shedding on its own?
    Sometimes, after a consultation. Call us with your dog's breed, weight, recent grooming history and what the coat is like now. We'll discuss whether a separate visit makes sense and provide the appropriate quote rather than using the add-on price as a standalone rate.
    Is de-shedding the same as de-matting?
    No. De-shedding removes loose hair and undercoat. De-matting addresses tangled or felted hair. If the coat has both, we need to assess both and explain the work rather than treating them as one interchangeable service.
    Does my dog's coat need to be shaved to reduce shedding?
    De-shedding doesn't automatically involve shaving or a body haircut. We assess the coat and discuss an appropriate approach. Tight matting may change the grooming plan, but a shorter coat isn't a promise that natural shedding will stop.
    How often should my dog have de-shedding?
    That depends on the coat, how much loose hair is building up and the care between appointments. We can discuss a routine after seeing your dog. The add-on isn't automatically needed at every visit.
    Do you offer this for cats?
    Call us about the cat’s coat so we can discuss a cat grooming appointment. Our Cat Bath & Brush page explains the cat package and loose-hair care. This dog de-shedding add-on price isn’t a quote for a cat.
    What if the shedding suddenly changes or there are bald patches?
    A marked change in shedding, patchy hair loss, sores or other skin concerns should be discussed with your veterinarian. Tell us before grooming, too. A de-shedding appointment doesn't diagnose or treat the cause of a skin or health problem.

    Build the appointment around what your dog needs

    Choose Bath & Blow Dry for bathing and hygiene care, Partial Dog Grooming for a light face-and-feet tidy-up, or Full Dog Grooming for a body haircut. If the problem is tangled hair rather than loose coat, read about de-matting and call us to discuss what you’re finding.

    We serve Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Weston, Miramar, Sunrise, Plantation and Cooper City. Check our service areas for coverage and route availability.

    Let’s talk about the fur that’s following you around

    Tell us your dog’s breed and weight, when they last had a groom and whether the coat feels loose, packed or tangled. We’ll help you choose a visit that fits the work your dog actually needs.
