The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't created 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 perhaps 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are designed to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Purrz and Paws Pet Supply, 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 an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Purrz and Paws Pet Supply in Scappoose. Stop in or give us a call at (503) 543-5740 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
