Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow – But How?
If you’ve got a German Shepherd, Labrador, Husky, or any other double-coated breed, you know the struggle. Dog hair is everywhere – on your sofa, your clothes, even your toast (ew). But good news: there’s a simple solution. In this guide, we’ll break down how to deshed a dog, why shedding happens, and the best tools to make it way less stressful (and messy).
Why Do Dogs Shed So Much?
Dog shedding is totally normal—especially during spring and summer when your dog is “blowing” their coat. This process helps them stay cool, but unfortunately, it also turns your home into a fur factory.
Quick tip: Regular grooming with the right tools is the best way to reduce loose fur and keep your dog comfy.
What’s the Best Way to Deshed a Dog?
The goal isn’t to stop shedding completely (that’s not possible or healthy), but to remove the loose undercoat hair before it ends up all over your floors.
Here’s how to do it in 3 easy steps:
1. Use a Quality Deshedding Brush
We’re not being biased (okay maybe a little), but the Groomi Deshedding Brush is genuinely a game-changer. Unlike typical dog shedding combs, it removes up to 95% of loose hair without damaging the topcoat or irritating your pup’s skin.
🐶 Best for: Labs, German Shepherds, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and more! Also suitable for cats, horses, rabbits and any other pets that shed.
🧼 Bonus: The Groomi is easy to clean and built to last with changeable blades so you can replace it instead of the whole unit!
2. Detangle Before You Deshed
If your dog has any matting or tangles, tackle those first with our Knot Buster Detangling Brush. It glides through knotted fur without the ouch factor.
3. Deshed During Bath Time
Yep, even bath time can help. Our dessert-scented vegan shampoos are specially designed to help loosen dead undercoat hair. Lather up using the Groominator, which foams up the shampoo and gives a little massage. Bonus points for dogs who usually hate bath time.
How Often Should I Deshed My Dog?
For heavy shedders, aim for 2–3 sessions per week during shedding season (spring/summer), and once a week during cooler months. Each session only needs to be 10–15 minutes long.
What Makes Groomi Brushes Better Than the Rest?
We get it—there are a ton of pet deshedding brushes out there. But here’s why dog owners are raving about Groomi:
