The Shiba's stiff, straight outer coat sits over a thick, plush undercoat, and twice a year that undercoat blows out in sheets. Grooming centers on a deshedding bath and a high-velocity blowout to drive the dead coat clear, and shaving is off the table. Otherwise this fastidious, cat-like breed stays remarkably clean between visits.
