Professional Dog Shedding Treatment in Dunwoody & Sandy Springs
Say goodbye to fur-covered furniture and hello to a happier, healthier coat — with our signature deshedding dog grooming service at Robin’s Groomingdales on Jett Ferry Road.
If you share your home — and your couch — with a dog, you already know the struggle. Hair on the carpet. Hair on your clothes. Hair in your morning coffee. Here in Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, Georgia’s warm, humid climate means our dogs are shedding almost year-round, and the seasonal change-overs in spring and fall can turn even a low-maintenance pup into a fur-producing machine. The good news? A professional dog shedding treatment can make a dramatic difference — and your floors will thank you.
At Robin’s Groomingdales, our dedicated deshedding dog grooming service goes far beyond a regular bath and brush. We use professional-grade de-shedding shampoos, conditioners, and high-velocity dryers specifically designed to reach and release the dead undercoat that regular brushing at home simply can’t get to. The result? Up to 80% less shedding in your home for weeks after each visit.
Whether your dog is a Golden Retriever, a Husky, a Labrador, or any double-coated breed, our warm and experienced groomers — located near the Perimeter Center area on Chamblee-Dunwoody Road — treat every dog like their own. We take the time to understand your dog’s coat type, shedding level, and skin sensitivities before we begin, because a personalized approach is always the right approach.

Why a Dog Shedding Treatment Matters — Especially in Georgia’s Climate
Georgia’s climate is notoriously tough on double-coated dogs. The combination of high humidity, intense summer heat, and heavy pollen seasons creates the perfect storm for a dog’s coat to become matted, over-insulated, and full of dead fur that can’t escape on its own. Unlike dogs living in drier climates, our north Atlanta suburb pups — from Peachtree Corners to Brookhaven — face coat challenges nearly twelve months a year.
When dead undercoat builds up without regular deshedding dog grooming, it doesn’t just end up on your sofa. It can also trap heat against your dog’s skin, reduce airflow through the coat, and even create the conditions for hot spots, skin irritation, and bacterial growth. For older dogs or dogs prone to allergies, the impact on comfort and health can be significant.
A proper dog shedding treatment doesn’t just remove loose fur — it resets the coat, allows the skin to breathe, and actually reduces how quickly shedding resumes afterward. Think of it as a seasonal detox for your dog’s coat. Regular deshedding treatments (every 4–8 weeks during heavy shed periods) are one of the best investments a pet parent in the Dunwoody area can make for their dog’s long-term coat and skin health.
And yes, your carpet, clothes, and furniture will be eternally grateful.

Deep Undercoat Pre-Brush

Step-by-Step Process: How We Perform Our Dog Shedding Treatment
Every dog that walks through our door near Chamblee-Dunwoody Road gets the same careful, step-by-step process — no shortcuts, ever.
Coat Assessment & Consultation
Before we touch a brush, your groomer performs a hands-on assessment of your dog’s coat type, shedding level, skin condition, and any sensitive areas. We discuss your goals and note any health concerns from your vet.
Dry Pre-Brush & De-Matting
We start dry — using professional undercoat rakes, slicker brushes, and de-matting combs to loosen the top layer of dead fur and work through any tangles. This maximizes how much the bath can remove.
Deshedding Shampoo Bath
Your dog is bathed in warm water with a professional-grade anti-shedding shampoo. We massage the shampoo deep into the coat and undercoat, letting it penetrate for the full recommended dwell time to open hair follicles and release dead fur.
Deep Conditioning Mask
A moisturizing deshedding conditioner is applied and left to work for several minutes. This nourishes the skin, reduces dryness from Georgia’s variable climate, and leaves the coat manageable and less prone to breakage.
High-Velocity Force Dry
This is where the magic happens. Our professional high-velocity dryers use a powerful stream of air to physically blow loose, dead fur out of the coat from root to tip. This step alone can remove more undercoat than hours of brushing at home.
Post-Dry Line Brushing
Once fully dry, we go through the coat section by section in a methodical line-brushing technique, catching every last bit of loosened fur and checking for any remaining tangles or mats that need attention.
Final Touch & Home Care Advice
We finish with a spritz of conditioning coat spray, a final inspection, and a friendly chat about how to maintain results at home — including which brushes work best for your dog’s breed and how to reduce shedding at home between visits.
Benefits for You and Your Dog
Up to 80% Less Fur in Your Home
One professional dog shedding treatment can dramatically cut the amount of loose hair in your home for weeks — less vacuuming, less lint-rolling, less frustration.
Healthier Skin & Coat
Removing trapped dead fur improves airflow to your dog’s skin, reduces overheating in Georgia’s summer humidity, and decreases the risk of hot spots and skin irritation.
A Happier, More Comfortable Dog
Dogs carrying a heavy undercoat in the Georgia heat are often uncomfortable and itchy. After a treatment, most dogs visibly relax — they’re lighter, cooler, and much more at ease.
Fewer Allergens in Your Home
Pet dander clings to shed fur. By dramatically reducing the loose hair circulating in your home, our treatment also helps lower allergen levels — a real benefit for allergy-sensitive family members.
Peace of Mind for Pet Parents
Knowing your dog’s coat is properly maintained by a professional — not just brushed over at the surface — gives you confidence that you’re doing right by your pet. Regular deshedding dog grooming is one of the simplest, most impactful things you can do for a heavy-shedding breed’s overall wellbeing.
What Makes Our Deshedding Grooming Different from Chain Salons or Mobile Options
Not all dog shedding treatments are created equal. Here’s why pet parents across Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and the Perimeter area keep coming back to Robin’s Groomingdales.
We’re Not a Conveyor Belt
Large chain grooming salons often rush dogs through in high volumes. At Robin’s, we schedule appropriately and give every dog the time their coat actually requires — especially for a thorough undercoat removal.
Professional Equipment, Every Time
We invest in commercial-grade high-velocity dryers and professional de-shedding tools — not consumer versions. The difference in how much undercoat comes out is remarkable.
Your Dog Is Never Left Unattended
Unlike some mobile or box-style setups, your dog is always supervised by a trained groomer during their visit. Safety is our non-negotiable baseline — especially for anxious or senior dogs.
We Know Your Dog By Name
Our local, community-rooted salon near Jett Ferry Road in Dunwoody means you’ll often see the same familiar faces. We track notes on each dog — their coat history, sensitivities, favorite treats — for a genuinely personalized experience.
Transparent Pricing & No Surprise Upsells
We give you a clear quote upfront based on your dog’s size, coat type, and service. No hidden fees discovered at pickup. What we tell you is what you pay — because trust matters more than upselling. See our pricing table →
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from pet parents in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs & the surrounding north Atlanta suburbs.
How often should I get a dog shedding treatment for my Labrador or Golden Retriever in Dunwoody?
For heavy-shedding breeds like Labs, Goldens, Huskies, and German Shepherds, we recommend a professional deshedding treatment every 4 to 6 weeks — more frequently during Georgia’s spring and fall blow-out seasons when shedding peaks. For moderate shedders, every 6–8 weeks typically keeps things well under control at home. We’re happy to recommend a schedule based on your specific dog during their first visit.
Do you offer walk-in deshedding dog grooming near Sandy Springs?
We always recommend calling ahead or booking online — deshedding treatments take more time than a quick trim and we want to dedicate the proper attention to your dog. That said, if you’re nearby in Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, or the Williamsburg area and need a last-minute appointment, give us a call at 770 396 8902 and we’ll do our best to fit you in. Slots are especially limited during spring shedding season, so early booking is encouraged.
What is the price range for a dog shedding treatment in the Dunwoody area?
Our deshedding dog grooming pricing is based on your dog’s size and coat density. As a general guide: small dogs typically start around $45–$55, medium dogs $60–$80, and large or heavy-coated dogs $85–$120+. We always provide an exact quote before we begin. We also offer combination packages if you’d like to add a nail trim, ear cleaning, or full groom — book online or check our full pricing table for a personalized quote.
Can a deshedding treatment actually help my dog in Atlanta’s heat and pollen season?
Absolutely — and this is one of the biggest reasons we see such demand for this service in the north Atlanta area. Georgia’s notorious pollen and humidity combine with a heavy undercoat to trap heat against your dog’s skin. Removing that dead insulating layer is one of the most effective things you can do to help your dog stay cool and comfortable from April through October. Many of our clients near Peachtree Corners and Brookhaven schedule a deshedding treatment at the start of every pollen season for exactly this reason.
Will a professional dog shedding treatment damage my dog’s coat?
Not at all — when performed correctly, deshedding only removes the dead undercoat, leaving the healthy guard hairs and new growth completely intact. In fact, regular professional treatment often leads to a thicker, shinier topcoat because the healthy follicles are no longer competing with dead fur for space and airflow. We never use stripping techniques or anything that could harm coat integrity — just professional tools, quality products, and gentle handling.
How long does a deshedding session take at your Dunwoody location?
A full deshedding treatment typically takes between 1.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on your dog’s size, coat thickness, and overall condition. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you book so you’re never left waiting. Our salon near Jett Ferry Road will send you a text notification when your dog is ready for pickup.
