Coco's Mobile Pet Grooming

    Dog De-Shedding in Southwest Ranches

    You brush your dog, clean up the fur, and somehow there’s more on the sofa by the evening. A thick coat can hold on to loose hair underneath, which is why brushing the surface doesn’t always do the whole job. Coco’s brings the extra drying and brushing to your Southwest Ranches home as an add-on to your dog’s grooming visit.

    Ask us about adding de-shedding to your dog’s next groom. If it’s the only service you need, call first and we’ll talk through a separate visit.

    What de-shedding adds to your dog’s groom

    A regular brush-out comes with our grooming packages. Some coats need longer than that, particularly when loose undercoat has built up beneath the surface. De-shedding gives us time to work through that buildup as part of the groom, without charging every double-coated dog for an extra they may not need.

    What’s included in the extra coat care

    • Checking for loose undercoat, packed areas and tangles.
    • Extra coat preparation and products chosen for your dog's coat.
    • More time drying and brushing to work out loose hair.
    • Advice on the areas to keep brushed at home.

    The bath and everyday hygiene care come with your chosen grooming package. This add-on covers the extra coat work. A body haircut or tight matting may need a different approach.

    Is it loose fur or tangled hair?

    A brush filling up with loose hair is one thing; a brush that keeps getting stuck in tight knots is another. Let us know which you’re finding. It helps us work out whether your dog needs de-shedding, help with matting, or a haircut.

    De-shedding starts at $20

    Our listed add-on range is $20–$30, on top of your grooming package. A larger dog or a coat carrying a lot of loose undercoat can take more work, so the charge may be higher. We’ll look through the coat and explain the total before starting.

    You won’t automatically pay for de-shedding just because your dog has a double coat. We check whether the extra work is needed.

    Use our pricing calculator to get a starting estimate for the grooming package. If you’d like de-shedding on its own, give us a call so we can discuss your dog and quote the visit. The add-on starting price isn’t the price of a separate appointment.

    What Pet Owners Say About Coco’s

    These reviews come from Coco’s customers on Google.

    What happens in the van

    Show us what you’ve noticed when we arrive, especially any areas where the brush gets stuck. We’ll check the coat before the bath and talk through what your dog needs.

    1. Tell us about the coat

    When was the last groom, and what has brushing been like at home? Tell us about tangles, sensitive spots or anything your dog finds difficult.

    2. Look underneath

    We feel through the coat to see how much loose hair is caught underneath and whether there are knots to deal with as well.

    3. Talk through the price

    If extra de-shedding work would help, we'll explain what's involved and what it adds to your chosen grooming package.

    4. Give the coat its bath

    The bath comes with your grooming package. We prepare the coat and choose products for the work we've agreed to do.

    5. Dry and brush it through

    We towel-dry first, then hand blow-dry and brush, spending the extra time needed to work out loose hair. There are no cage dryers.

    6. Show you what needs upkeep

    Before your dog heads back inside, we'll talk about the areas to keep brushed and what to watch for between visits.

    Why there’s still fur after a bath

    A bath can leave your dog smelling lovely while loose hair is still caught underneath the topcoat. Drying and brushing help bring that hair out. For a coat carrying a heavy buildup, that part of the appointment can need more time than the wash itself.

    Your dog will still shed afterward. We’re removing hair that’s ready to come away, rather than changing the natural shedding cycle. And if the brush is catching on tight knots, we’ll talk about matting before deciding how to work through the coat.

    The Golden Retriever whose bath needed extra coat work

    One 70-pound Golden Retriever came in for a bath with packed undercoat around his back legs. Looking at his weight alone wouldn’t have told his pet parent that those areas needed extra attention.

    We showed her the buildup and explained the $30 de-shedding add-on before starting. She agreed to the extra work, and the whole visit took 75 minutes.

    That $30 was added to the bath price; it wasn’t the price of the whole appointment. It’s a useful example of why we look underneath the coat before deciding what a dog needs.

    Coco’s explains the de-shedding add-on, how we assess loose undercoat, when the extra work is needed beyond a regular brush-out, and why your dog will still shed naturally afterward.

    Questions before you book

    You don’t need to know all the grooming terms before calling us. Tell us what the coat feels like and what you’re finding on the brush, and we’ll help you choose the appointment.

    How much does dog de-shedding cost?
    It starts at $20 as an add-on to a grooming package. Our listed range is $20–$30, although a larger dog, a dense coat or more involved work can cost more. We'll check the coat and discuss the total before starting.
    Isn't brushing already included in grooming?
    Yes, it is. Your dog gets the usual brush-out with their grooming package. De-shedding is the extra work needed when there's more loose coat underneath than that regular brush-out can handle. We won't add it automatically just because of your dog's breed.
    Will de-shedding stop my dog from shedding?
    No, your dog will still shed naturally. The aim is to work out loose hair and undercoat, not to promise you'll never find another hair on your clothes. How much comes out afterward varies from dog to dog.
    Which grooming package goes with de-shedding?
    If your dog needs bathing and hygiene care without a haircut, Bath & Blow Dry may be the right choice. Partial Dog Grooming adds light tidying around the face and feet, while Full Dog Grooming includes a body haircut. Tell us what you’d like done and we’ll help you choose.
    Can I book just de-shedding?
    Sometimes, yes. Call us with your dog's breed, approximate weight, recent grooming history and what the coat is like now. We'll discuss whether a separate visit makes sense and give you a quote. The add-on starting price doesn't cover a standalone appointment.
    What's the difference between de-shedding and de-matting?
    De-shedding works on loose hair and undercoat; de-matting deals with hair that’s tangled together. If your brush keeps getting stuck in knots, mention that when you book. A dog can have both problems, but they need different attention.
    Will you need to shave my dog?
    A de-shedding appointment doesn't automatically include shaving or a haircut. We work on loose coat with preparation, drying and brushing. If tight matting changes what can be done, we'll show you and discuss the grooming plan first.
    How often will my dog need de-shedding?
    That depends on how much loose coat builds up and how brushing is going between visits. We can talk about a routine after seeing your dog. You don't automatically need the add-on at every appointment.
    Can you help with my cat's loose coat too?
    Call us about your cat so we can discuss the right cat grooming appointment. Cat Bath & Brush includes loose-hair care, but the dog de-shedding add-on price on this page isn’t a cat grooming quote.
    What if my dog is suddenly shedding much more or has bald patches?
    A sudden change, bald patches, sores or other skin concerns are things to discuss with your veterinarian. Let us know before the grooming visit, too. De-shedding removes loose coat; it doesn't diagnose or treat the reason for hair loss.

    Choose the groom to go with it

    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 you’re finding tight knots rather than loose fur, take a look at our de-matting service and call us about the coat.

    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 all that fur

    Tell us about your dog, when they last had a groom and what brushing is like at home. We’ll help you work out whether their next appointment needs a regular brush-out or a little more time on the loose coat.
