The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are designed to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at The Soggy Doggy in Kent. Stop in or give us a call at (253) 639-6700 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
