The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could 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 unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are created to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Dog, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's 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 require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 Natural Dog in Newburyport. Stop in or give us a call at (978) 499-9909 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
