The Akita packs a thick, plush double coat that sheds moderately most of the year, then blows the entire undercoat in dramatic seasonal molts. Grooming means a high-velocity blowout and a deshedding tool to clear the loosened underlayer, heaviest around the ruff, breeches, and tail. The coat is never shaved, as it insulates against both heat and cold.
