The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem 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 specific 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.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are designed to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique in Hyannis. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 957-2124 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
