The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted 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 unique hair and skin needs that require 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 complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are created to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique in Hyannis. Stop in or give us a call at (508) 957-2124 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
