WHAT IS DESHEDDING?
Glad you asked. "De-shedding" is a term coined right here at Transformation Pet Center to refer to the process of ridding the coat of excess dead hair. All dogs shed to some extent or another, some profusely at seasonal times of the year, some like German Shepards and my smooth coated Jack Russell Terrier, shed year round. We can't stop the shedding, but we sure know how to remove it from your pet. Our motto is "The Hair Stays Here!". We do this by cleaning and conditioning the coat to soften and loosen it and then blow it out with high velocity dryers, rake it, brush it, comb it....whatever it takes to get to the bottom of the seemingly bottomless hair pit that is your pet. It is the combination of products, tools, and know-how that allows us to achieve fantastic results. For many thick coated dogs and cats, deshedding is all they need to be prepared for our Arizona summers. And we do this while creating the minimal stress and discomfort for your best friend.
