The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may 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 unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain 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.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are developed to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Dunk'N Dogs, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 Dunk'N Dogs in San Diego. Stop in or give us a call at (619) 276-3047 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.
