The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you need coat products that are made to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 experts at Pets Etc. in Plainfield. Stop in or give us a call at (815) 439-1919 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
