The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't made 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 maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are created to handle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may appreciate 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 Pets Etc. in Plainfield. Drop in or give us a call at (815) 439-1919 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.
