The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are developed to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally in Monroe. Stop in or give us a call at (360) 805-5060 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
