The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 full bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are made to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may enjoy 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 professionals at The Soggy Doggy in Normandy Park. Drop in or give us a call at (206) 824-6600 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
