What tools do you use for a Double Coat?

For double coat coats we use: High-velocity dryer (essential), Undercoat rake, Slicker brush, Deshedding tool (used sparingly). Drying method is high-velocity forced-air dryer (critical for undercoat removal). The right tool pairing is what separates a proper groom from a generic one.

Why is my Double Coat dog shedding so much?

Double Coat dogs are classified as heavy shedders. Double-coated breeds blow their undercoat seasonally — a professional high-velocity dry removes 60–80% of the loose undercoat in a single appointment.

Can I groom my Double Coat dog at home?

You can maintain the coat at home with brushing and baths, but full grooms on double coat coats usually require professional tools — High-velocity dryer (essential) and Undercoat rake — and the correct technique. Priced by the time-intensive de-shed process, not by haircut work.
