The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:

You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge 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 require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete 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 soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are developed to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Dog Day Afternoon, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.

Dog coats come in an array 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. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Dog Day Afternoon in Mascoutah. Drop in or give us a call at (618) 448-0374 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
