The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:

You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.

Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you really need coat products that are developed to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.

Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right kind of brush to decrease 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 unsure 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 particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
