Last Wednesday I posted a picture of Pickles and the aftermath of a de-shed. Well, Today I did another de-shed on her because there was still a ton of hair coming off. It is spring!
People ask how long will a de-shed take? Today with Pickles this took me about an hour and I forced myself to stop due to fear of skin irritation with all the raking I was doing. So if it took me an hour on a coat this short, a bigger dog with longer hair will take some time. You cant rush this process. As for Pickles, she will probably get another bath, de-shed later this week until I can't get any more coat off. Then I will do her every month to stay on top of it, because dogs drop coat every 21 days.
The first picture is the amount of hair I got off before the bath, the second was after the bath and blow dry.
