Why Deshed a Cat?

Why deshed a cat?

De-shedding means removing loose undercoat and dead hair (not just surface fur).

De-shedding treatments are designed to remove loose, dead hair from deep within your cat’s coat—especially from the undercoat, where regular brushing often doesn't reach. These treatments target fur that has already detached from the skin but hasn't yet been shed, helping to significantly reduce overall shedding. By clearing out this excess hair, de-shedding also helps prevent mats, tangles, and hairballs.

Our de-shedding treatments are especially helpful for long-haired or double-coated breeds like Persians, Maine Coons, and Ragdolls, but they benefit any cat that sheds frequently. We use specialised tools and gentle techniques to make the experience both effective and comfortable for your cat.

Why De-shedding Treatments Matter for Your Cat

Minimises Excess Shedding

Cats with thick or double-layered coats often shed more than those with single coats. De-shedding treatments help significantly reduce the amount of loose fur your cat releases, keeping your home cleaner and your cat more comfortable. By removing this excess coat before it falls out, you’ll notice less fur on furniture, floors, and clothing.

Helps Prevent Hairballs

Hairballs are especially common in long-haired cats. As they groom themselves, they naturally swallow loose fur, which can build up in their digestive system. De-shedding treatments remove much of this loose hair before it’s ingested, helping reduce the frequency and severity of hairballs.

Supports Coat and Skin Health

Eliminating dead fur allows your cat’s skin to breathe and promotes healthy hair growth. Regular de-shedding can prevent painful mats, tangles, and skin irritation—particularly in cats with dense coats. A clean, well-maintained coat also contributes to your cat’s overall well-being.

Enhances Comfort

A buildup of dead coat, especially in the undercoat, can lead to itchiness and discomfort. De-shedding treatments remove this trapped fur, helping your cat stay more comfortable, particularly during seasonal shedding periods. It can also reduce excessive scratching or grooming caused by irritation.
