The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might 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 specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are designed to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may appreciate 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 experts at Hot Diggity in Mashpee. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 477-2663 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.
