The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleaners 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, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are developed to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may enjoy 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 The Soggy Doggy in Normandy Park. Stop in or give us a call at (206) 824-6600 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
