The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue 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 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.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are developed to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Dogs Paw Inc., we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging 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 compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. 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 unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Dogs Paw Inc. in Park Rapids. Stop in or give us a call at (218) 237-7729 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
