The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are created to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require the best kind of brush to decrease 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 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 professionals at Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally in Redmond.
