The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you really need coat products that are created to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal 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 variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease 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.
