The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem 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 require 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 pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are manufactured to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 not sure 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 kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
