The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't created 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 maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Purrz and Paws Pet Supply, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct kind 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 require 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 Purrz and Paws Pet Supply in Scappoose. Stop in or give us a call at (503) 543-5740 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
