The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be lured 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 certain 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 complete bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need coat products that are made to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 professionals at Pets Etc. in Plainfield. Stop in or give us a call at (815) 439-1919 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.
