The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be lured 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 special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete 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 apparent why you should have coat products that are created to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Pet Pantry Pet Supplies, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop 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 not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Pet Pantry Pet Supplies in Harbor Springs.
