The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you should have coat products that are made to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Purrz and Paws Pet Supply, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 uncertain 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. Drop in or give us a call at (503) 543-5740 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
