The Importance of Picking 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 formulated 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 maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are made to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Grooming Place Pet Shop, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 The Grooming Place Pet Shop in Chester. Drop in or give us a call at (410) 643-8760 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
