Why is my dog shedding worse after professional grooming?
Professional deshedding treatments sometimes fail to remove all the loose undercoat, leaving trapped fur that continues to come out in large clumps during normal petting and brushing. This leaves owners dealing with just as much fur around the house despite having paid for a professional service.
