heyshedd — It was never the laundry.
For dogs & cats that shed like it's a job

It was never
the laundry.
It's the undercoat.

The fur on your couch, your car seat and every black shirt you own has been sitting under your dog's topcoat this whole time. Your brush never reached it.

Why brushing hasn't worked

You've been grooming the wrong layer.

Double-coated dogs and long-haired cats have two coats, not one. Your brush only ever touches the top one.

Layer 1 — the topcoat

What your brush reaches

Long guard hairs on the surface. A bristle brush smooths these down and makes the coat look tidy. Ten minutes of work. It looks like you did something.

Layer 2 — the undercoat

What's actually shedding

Soft dead fur trapped underneath, already loose, waiting to fall out. It falls out on your couch instead. This is the layer heyshedd is built to reach.

One pass

The pile is the proof.

You'll know within thirty seconds whether your old brush was doing anything. Most people are surprised, and a little disgusted.

The flip

Three tools. One handle.

The head turns. Tap each surface to see what it does.

The heyshedd 3-in-1 grooming tool: one black and blue handle carrying the serrated mat splitter, the curved deshedding hooks and the steel finishing pins.
Surface 01

Open the mat first.

You can't rake through a tangle. The serrated blade edge works into the mat and opens it up so the rest of the tool can get through. This is the step most people skip, and it's why brushing hurts.

Surface 02

Pull the dead layer out.

The curved hooks reach under the topcoat and lift the loose undercoat out from underneath. This is the surface that fills the head in one stroke. It is also the one that produces the pile.

Surface 03

Finish it smooth.

Two staggered ranks of steel pins run through the coat and lay it flat. When the comb passes without catching, the coat is clear and you can stop. It doubles as your check that you got everything.

How to use it.

A mat lifted away from the dog's body and split apart with the narrow blades.First

Split any tangles

Work the serrated edge into any mat before you do anything else. Never pull a rake through a knot.

Rake with the coat

Flip to the curved hooks. Long strokes, shoulder to hip, in the direction the fur grows. Empty the head when it packs.

Comb it smooth

Flip to the pin side and finish the coat. When the comb runs clean, you're done.

What you're actually comparing

The math on $35.99.

Deshedding is either something you pay for twice a year, or something you own.

A long-haired golden retriever and a fluffy orange tabby cat at home.
The groomer $40–$75 per visit

Twice a year through spring and fall coat blow, every year, on their schedule. Two seasons in and you've spent more than the tool costs.

A single-purpose deshedder ~$33 for one surface

The name-brand undercoat tools sit right around this price and do one job. You still need a comb. You still need something for mats.

heyshedd $35.99 once

Splitter, rake and comb on one handle. Roughly the price of one tool that does a third of the work, and less than a single appointment.

To be straight with you: a groomer does things this doesn't — the bath, the high-velocity blow-out, nails and ears. This replaces the deshedding part, not the appointment. If your dog only needs the undercoat out, that's the part you were paying most for.

Questions.

Does it cut the coat?

No. It isn't a clipper and there's no razor in it. The blades reach under the topcoat and pull out fur that had already shed. The coat looks the same length when you're done — just without the dead layer underneath.

Will it hurt my dog?

Not if you split mats before you rake. Pulling any tool through a knot is what causes yelping, which is exactly why the splitter is on the same handle. Use light pressure and go with the direction of the fur.

Does it work on cats?

Yes, on long-haired and double-coated cats. Shorter strokes and less pressure than a dog. Most cats settle into it once they realise it isn't a bath.

My dog is short-haired. Is it worth it?

Probably not. If there's no undercoat there's nothing for the curved blades to pull. Save your money — this is built for double coats.

Will this stop the shedding?

Nothing stops shedding. What it does is get the loose fur out over a bin instead of over your furniture. Owners typically go once or twice a week and notice the difference in the house, not in the dog.
