The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 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 patches, and it soon becomes evident why you should have coat products that are developed to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety 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 almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food in Bastrop. Stop in or give us a call at (737) 352-0133 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
