The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:

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 formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 complete bath.

Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are developed to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet 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 important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 uncertain 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 type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
