The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem 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 specific 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 of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Dog Day Afternoon, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying 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 require the best type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches.
