The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't made 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 even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you should have coat products that are designed to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Hydrant Pet Center, we offer a range of dog grooming products 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. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the right type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Hydrant Pet Center in Highland. Drop in or give us a call at (219) 923-3649 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
