Burnaby Dog Grooming - Undercoat Removal / Scissoring
If you’re like most people, you don’t know what an undercoat is. It’s important to note the distinction between an undercoat and regular fur. Not every breed has an undercoat. Breeds with an undercoat have a course, long outer coat, while the undercoat is soft and fluffy. It is typically a lighter color than the top coat. While the outer coat sheds throughout the year, the undercoat sheds in the spring and fall. If you’ve been finding tons of fur around the house – it’s undercoat shedding season. There is a right and a wrong way to remove the undercoat. Enlist Burnaby Dog Grooming to do it the right way.

Unbeknownst to many fur parents, shaving it will permanently damage the undercoat. The fur will grow back coarse or too fluffy, patchy and thin. Shaving increases the risk of overheating, sunburn and skin cancer. Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not decrease shedding. Many dog owners don’t discover until it’s too late that their allergy symptoms don’t subside. Shaving your dog will make it more vulnerable to insect bites. This creates an additional problem. If your dog has an undercoat, bring it in for precise removal and scissoring every 4-8 weeks. |
