Sometimes the dog is clean. The haircut is fine. The problem is the loose coat.

That is where a professional blowout and brush-out makes sense. Controlled high-velocity airflow helps lift loose hair from the coat, and we follow with a thorough brush-through to remove what the dryer brings up.

No new haircut. No unnecessary shortening of the coat. Just focused coat maintenance for dogs that need more than a quick brush at home.
Not every dog needs a full haircut every time they visit the groomer.

Our Blow Out & Brush Out is designed for dogs who need their coat refreshed, loosened, and professionally maintained without changing its length.
At Rebel Tails, we combine professional drying, thorough brushing, and coat-specific techniques to remove loose hair, separate the coat, and make everyday maintenance easier.

This service can be especially useful for double-coated and shedding breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies, Corgis, and similar coat types.

What Is a Blow Out & Brush Out?

A Blow Out & Brush Out is a focused grooming service for dogs who need professional coat maintenance but don't necessarily need a haircut or intensive deshedding treatment.
We use a high-velocity dryer to loosen and release hair from the coat, followed by a thorough brush-out to remove what has been lifted.

The result is a coat that feels:
  • lighter
  • cleaner
  • fluffier
  • easier to brush
  • more comfortable between grooming appointments

It's a practical option when your dog's coat needs professional attention but doesn't require a major grooming change.



When Should You Choose
these services?

Sometimes your dog's coat doesn't need a haircut. It simply needs a professional reset.

A Blow Out & Brush Out can be a good choice when:
  • your dog is shedding more than usual
  • loose hair has started building up
  • the coat looks flat or heavy
  • your dog has picked up dirt or debris outdoors
  • you want to maintain the coat between full grooming appointments
  • your dog needs coat care without removing significant length

For dogs with double coats, this can be particularly useful between more intensive seasonal shedding appointments.

How the Blow Out & Brush Out Works
Every appointment begins with a quick look at the coat so we can adjust the process to your dog's needs.

Step 1: Coat Assessment
We check the coat and skin for loose hair, tangles, density, and areas that may need extra attention.

Step 2: Professional Blow Out
A professional high-velocity dryer is used to work through the coat and loosen hair that is ready to come out.
The airflow separates the coat and helps lift loose undercoat without changing the natural length.

Step 3: Thorough Brush Out
Once the coat has been loosened, we brush through it carefully to remove the remaining loose hair and smooth the coat.

Step 4: Natural Coat Finish
We finish with a complete brush-through and light tidy where needed.
There is no major haircut.
The goal is simply to leave your dog's existing coat cleaner, lighter, separated, and easier to maintain.

Blow Out & Brush Out vs. Deshedding Treatment
These services use some of the same professional techniques, but they serve different purposes.

Blow Out & Brush Out
  • General coat maintenance
  • Removes loose hair
  • Maintains the existing coat length
  • Useful between regular grooming appointments
  • Good for dogs that need a professional brush-out without intensive coat removal
Deshedding Treatment
  • More intensive undercoat removal
  • Designed for heavier shedding
  • Particularly useful during seasonal coat changes
  • Includes a dedicated deshedding process

For example, a Labrador who simply needs loose hair removed and the coat refreshed may be a good candidate for a Blow Out & Brush Out. During a major seasonal shed, that same dog may benefit from a dedicated Deshedding Treatment instead.

Which Dogs Benefit Most?
Blow Out & Brush Out can be useful for many coat types, but it is particularly well suited to dogs with moderate to heavy shedding or dense coats.

Common examples include:
  • Australian Shepherds
  • Golden Retrievers
  • Labrador Retrievers
  • German Shepherds
  • Border Collies
  • Siberian Huskies
  • Corgis
Dogs with these coat types often benefit from professional brushing between full grooming appointments, especially when shedding increases seasonally. The right service still depends on the individual dog, including coat density, current shedding, lifestyle, and maintenance at home.
Individual Care & High Service Standards
Every dog responds differently to grooming. Some coats release loose hair easily during the blowout, while dense coats may require more time and careful brushing.

We adjust the appointment according to:
  • coat type and density
  • current shedding
  • tangles or compacted areas
  • skin sensitivity
  • age
  • grooming tolerance

We also adjust the dryer technique to each dog's comfort level. Our goal is not simply to remove as much hair as possible, but to maintain the coat effectively while keeping the experience calm and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my dog need a bath first?
Not necessarily. Blow Out & Brush Out can be performed as a focused coat-maintenance service without a full bath and haircut. If your dog also needs bathing, we can recommend the most appropriate service.

Will this stop my dog from shedding?
No. Shedding is a natural part of the coat cycle. A professional blowout and brush-out removes loose hair before more of it ends up around your home, but it cannot stop natural shedding.

Is this the same as deshedding?
No. Blow Out & Brush Out is focused on general coat maintenance and loose hair removal. A Deshedding Treatment is a more intensive service designed to remove substantial amounts of loose undercoat.

Does my dog need a haircut afterward?
No. The service is designed to maintain the existing coat length rather than create a new haircut.

How often should my dog have a Blow Out & Brush Out?
There is no universal schedule. Some dogs benefit from the service between full grooming appointments, while others may need it more often during periods of heavier shedding.

Looking for a professional coat refresh without a full groom?
At Rebel Tails, our Blow Out & Brush Out is designed for dogs who need more than a quick brush at home but don't need a haircut or intensive deshedding treatment.

We take the time to work through the coat carefully, using professional equipment and coat-specific techniques to leave your dog feeling lighter, cleaner, and easier to maintain.

A Blowout Is Not Just Faster Brushing

Brushing only works on the coat your tool can reach. A professional blowout gives us another way into the coat before the detailed hand work begins.

Controlled high-velocity airflow helps separate sections of the coat and lift loose hair that may still be sitting beneath the surface. Once that hair begins to release, we follow with a thorough brush-out instead of repeatedly dragging a brush through a dense, unopened coat.

The result should feel simpler: less loose hair sitting in the coat and an easier coat to maintain between grooming appointments.

When a Brush-Out Makes More Sense Than a Full Groom

Sometimes nothing about the dog's style needs to change. The coat is simply carrying more loose hair than a quick home brushing can comfortably handle.

The Haircut Is Fine

A Blowout & Brush-Out is coat maintenance, not a new style. Existing length stays in place.

Loose Hair Is Building Up

The service can help remove naturally releasing coat before more of it ends up on furniture, floors and clothing.

Home Brushing Isn't Reaching Everything

Dense areas around the neck, chest, rear and tail can hold loose hair longer than the surface of the coat suggests.

You Are Between Bigger Appointments

A focused coat-maintenance visit can make sense between full grooms when bathing or intensive undercoat work is not the main need.

Blowout, Bath or Deshedding?

These services overlap in technique, but they are not interchangeable. Start with the problem you actually want solved.

Blowout & Brush-Out

Best when loose-hair maintenance is the main goal and the dog does not need a new haircut or an intensive seasonal deshedding process.

Bath & Brush

If cleaning, odor or routine bathing is the main reason for the appointment, start with our dog bath and brush service.

Not Sure Which One?

Explore all dog grooming services or tell us the breed, approximate weight and current coat condition when booking.

Dense Coats Need More Than One Pass Over the Surface

Dogs with double coats or dense shedding coats are often where a professional dryer earns its keep.

Loose hair may collect around the neck, chest, rear legs, tail and beneath collars or harnesses even when the top of the coat looks perfectly normal.

Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, Pomeranians and many mixed breeds can all carry this kind of coat, but the actual coat condition matters more than the breed label alone.

Learn more about double-coated dog grooming when undercoat maintenance is an ongoing part of your dog's routine.

Loose Coat and Matting Are Two Different Problems

A blowout can help release hair that is already naturally shedding. It is not a shortcut through tight tangles or compacted matting.

If sections of the coat are bound together close to the skin, the appointment may need a different plan before intensive brushing begins.

For coats with significant tangles, see our professional coat and de-matting assessment .

Loose hair should release. A mat does not behave the same way.

Knowing the difference helps us choose the right service instead of simply adding more airflow or more brushing to the wrong problem.

What About Nail Care?

If your dog also needs paw maintenance, nail care can be handled according to the service booked.

When the coat is fine and nails are the only item on the list, use our separate dog nail trimming and grinding service rather than booking a coat appointment unnecessarily.

Dog Blowout & Brush-Out FAQ

What is a dog blowout?

A professional dog blowout uses controlled high-velocity airflow to separate the coat and help release loose hair. It is usually followed by a detailed brush-out to remove what the dryer has lifted.

What is a dog brush-out?

A brush-out is thorough professional brushing through the coat to remove loose hair, check dense or friction-prone areas and leave the coat easier to maintain.

Is a dog blowout the same as deshedding?

Not necessarily. A blowout is a technique used to release loose hair. A full deshedding treatment is a more intensive service that may also include bathing, conditioning, extended drying and additional undercoat removal.

Does my dog need a bath before a blowout and brush-out?

Not every focused coat-maintenance visit requires the same service. If cleaning is also needed, we may recommend a bath and brush or a full deshedding appointment instead.

Will a blowout stop my dog from shedding?

No. Shedding is part of the natural coat cycle. A blowout and brush-out can remove hair that is already ready to release, but it cannot prevent future shedding.

Does a dog need a haircut after a blowout?

No. Blowout and brush-out appointments are designed around coat maintenance rather than creating a new haircut.

How much does a dog blowout cost?

Pricing depends on dog size, coat density, coat condition and the amount of drying and brushing time required. Check our current grooming prices or contact the salon with your dog's details.
