The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be enticed 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 call for shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 complete bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are made to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At CB Pet Market, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct 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 not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at CB Pet Market in Livingston. Stop in or give us a call at (973) 486-6007 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
