Tired of seeing loose hair hanging off your dog no matter how much you brush? 🤔

You brush. You vacuum. You brush again. And somehow there’s STILL enough fur coming off your dog to build a second dog.

Well, let me explain why.

The biggest mistake I see with shedding coats is focusing on the brush before focusing on the coat itself. The secret to a successful deshed doesn’t start with a blower or a rake… it starts in the bathtub.

As a Skin & Coat Certified Groomer, my deshed process is built around coat health first.

✨ Step 1: Close-Open-Close Method
I start by conditioning a dry coat before the bath even begins. This helps soften and loosen impacted undercoat while adding moisture back into the skin and hair.

✨ Step 2: Open
After rinsing, I follow up with a moisturizing, oil-rich shampoo that creates slip within the coat. When the coat is properly hydrated, dead undercoat releases much more easily instead of being forcefully ripped out.

✨ Step 3: Close
Next comes a moisturizing conditioner and coat mask. Deshedding can be incredibly harsh on the skin and coat when done incorrectly, so replenishing moisture is a crucial step that many people skip.

✨ Step 4: Blow Out & Fluff Dry
Once the coat is properly prepped, most of that undercoat practically wants to leave on its own. A thorough blowout and fluff dry removes what the bath loosened.

✨ Step 5: Finishing Work
A deshed comb is used to remove any remaining loose coat and smooth everything out for a clean, healthy finish.

The result? Less shedding around your home, a healthier skin barrier, improved airflow through the coat, and a dog that’s better equipped to regulate their body temperature during the summer months.

And the best part?

🐾 No shaving required.

Double coats were designed to insulate and regulate temperature. When maintained properly through routine deshedding, there’s usually no reason to shave them down.

The photos below are proof that the bath is where the magic happens. Look at all that undercoat that was ready to come out! 👀

Sometimes the difference between a dog that sheds endlessly and one that sheds normally isn’t more brushing…

It’s the process behind it. 💙🐾

My career is more than “Just Grooming Dogs”

One of the most frustrating things groomers hear is, “You just groom dogs,” or “You get to play with puppies all day.” My personal favorite? “How’s your little dog business going?”

The truth is, professional grooming is one of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding careers in the pet industry.

Every day, groomers work with sharp tools around moving animals. We identify skin issues, parasites, tumors, behavioral concerns, and changes in a pet’s health long before many owners notice them. We manage anxious pets, fearful pets, elderly pets, puppies experiencing grooming for the first time, and sometimes pets that simply do not want to be there. We do all of this while maintaining safety, precision, and compassion.

The physical demands alone are enough to end careers early. Many groomers experience chronic back pain, shoulder injuries, repetitive stress injuries, arthritis, and other long-term health issues. In our industry, it isn’t uncommon for groomers in their 30s to joke about being “geriatric” because of the wear and tear the profession places on their bodies.

Then there’s the emotional side.

We carry the weight of difficult decisions, matted pets that need shaved for their welfare, behavioral challenges, client expectations, and the constant responsibility of caring for someone’s beloved family member. Burnout is incredibly common, and many talented groomers leave the profession after only a few years because the mental and physical demands become overwhelming.

Yet despite all of this, grooming is still often viewed as a hobby, a side hustle, or a job that anyone can do.

If we want the public to take grooming seriously, we have to start by taking ourselves seriously.

That means running professional businesses. Continuing our education. Investing in our skills. Charging appropriately for our expertise. Holding ourselves to higher standards. Supporting one another instead of tearing each other down. Most importantly, it means recognizing that what we do matters.

Professional grooming is not “playing with puppies.”

It is animal care.
It is behavior management.
It is health observation.
It is artistry.
It is customer service.
It is entrepreneurship.
It is a profession.

And until we start treating it like one, we can’t expect the rest of the world to do the same.

Just something that has really been on my mind lately as I navigate owning a business and seeing this industry as a whole. I will and always will fight for my fellow groomers until even after I retire my shears ✂️

🚨 FIRST REACTION ALERT 🚨

Y’all asked for honesty, and I fear I may have been a little too honest in this video. 😂🐾

UNCUT AND NO SCRIPTING 😝

I recently got in some of the scents that will be featured in my upcoming scent bar, and this is my very first raw, unfiltered reaction to smelling them for the first time. No script. No planning. Just me experiencing them right along with you!

Let’s just say… one particular scent may have caught me off guard and caused a brief system malfunction. 🤣

I’m so excited to announce that I’m putting the finishing touches on something I’ve never seen offered in our area before: a COMPLIMENTARY scent bar experience for every grooming client! ✨

Instead of me choosing your pet’s finishing scent, YOU will get to choose it yourself from a selection of amazing fragrances before your pet’s appointment. Each scent will have a matching leave-in conditioning spray and nourishing coat oil to keep your pet smelling incredible and feeling their best.

This video is just a sneak peek of what’s coming. 👀

The official scent bar reveal video is coming soon… and trust me, you’re going to want to see it. 😉🐾

⬇️ Tell me below: Are you the type that loves fresh, clean scents, fruity scents, floral scents, or warm cologne/perfume scents? ⬇️✨

🐾 What Does “One-on-One & All-Inclusive” Really Mean? 🐾

You’ll often hear me describe my grooming style as one-on-one and all-inclusive, but what does that actually mean for you and your pet?

It means your dog isn’t spending the day waiting in a kennel for their turn.

It means they aren’t rotating through multiple groomers or being moved from station to station.

It means when your pet arrives, they are my focus. From bath to blow dry to haircut to pickup, I’m working directly with them every step of the way.

For many pets, especially those who are anxious, nervous, elderly, or simply prefer a quieter environment, this can make a world of difference. ❤️

Being all-inclusive means I don’t believe the little things should feel like “extras.”

Every grooming appointment includes:
✨ Luxury shampoo and conditioner
✨ Nail trimming and filing
✨ Ear cleaning
✨ Coat and skin assessment
✨ Blow out and fluff dry
✨ Brush and comb out
✨ A**l Glands
✨ Finishing spray
✨ Plenty of patience and personalized care

No wondering if your pet received the “basic” package or if they needed upgrades to get the care they deserve.

My goal has never been to groom the most dogs.

My goal has always been to create a space where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and where owners can leave knowing their best friend is receiving my full attention.

Because at the end of the day, I’m not just grooming dogs.

I’m building trust, one appointment at a time. 🐾❤️
