The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for 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 pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you should have coat products that are created to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Pet Pantry Pet Supplies, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing 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 thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 Pet Pantry Pet Supplies in Harbor Springs. Drop in or give us a call at (231) 526-7160 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
