The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 full bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are designed to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Dog, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. 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 not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Natural Dog in Newburyport. Stop in or give us a call at (978) 499-9909 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
