The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are developed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper ingredients 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 great and looking good.
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 right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. 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 professionals at Natural Dog in Newburyport. Drop in or give us a call at (978) 499-9909 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
