Step-by-Step Guide to De-Shedding
1. Prep Your Pet
- Choose the Right Time: Groom when your pet is calm—after a walk or play session.
- Brush Before Bathing: Remove loose fur first to avoid clogging drains.
2. Brush in Layers
- Start with a Slicker Brush: Gently brush in the direction of hair growth to lift dead fur.
- Switch to a De-shedding Tool: Work in sections, focusing on thick-coated areas (neck, back, tail).
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Be extra gentle around the belly, ears, and joints.
3. Bathe (Optional)
- Use a de-shedding shampoo to loosen dead hair.
- Rinse thoroughly and towel-dry.
- Pro Tip: A high-velocity dryer can blow out 70% of loose fur post-bath.
4. Reward and Repeat
- Offer treats and praise to create positive associations.
- Consistency is key:
- Dogs: De-shed weekly (daily during shedding seasons).
- Cats: Brush 2–3 times a week.
