The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
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 made 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 perhaps dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, treat 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 nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging 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 thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats need the best kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally in Everett. Stop in or give us a call at (425) 353-9076 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
