The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need coat products that are made to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Pets Etc., we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging 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 nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in 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 kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
