The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific 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.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are designed to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
