The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could 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 distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 full bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are developed to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Hydrant Pet Center, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy 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 vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right type 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 require the lightest of touches. If you're not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Hydrant Pet Center in Highland. Drop in or give us a call at (219) 923-3649 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
