The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are created to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Dog Day Afternoon, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require the best type of brush to reduce 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 Dog Day Afternoon in Mascoutah. Drop in or give us a call at (618) 448-0374 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
