The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you really need coat products that are made to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Soggy Doggy UP, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at The Soggy Doggy UP in University Place. Drop in or give us a call at (253) 565-1501 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
