The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be lured 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 special 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 complete bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are manufactured to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Dog, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may appreciate 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 experts at Natural Dog in Newburyport. Stop in or give us a call at (978) 499-9909 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.
