The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could 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 special hair and skin needs that require 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.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you need coat products that are developed to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Purrz and Paws Pet Supply, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop 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 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 kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
