The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue 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 specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are created to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At CB Pet Market, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 CB Pet Market in Washington. Stop in or give us a call at (908) 537-2400 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
