The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue 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 require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 quickly becomes evident why you need coat products that are manufactured to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally in Everett. Drop in or give us a call at (425) 353-9076 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
