The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for 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 complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are manufactured to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
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. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at The Soggy Doggy in Federal Way. Stop in or give us a call at (253) 838-3109 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
