The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you really need coat products that are made to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Gone to the Dogs, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to reduce 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 require 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 professionals at Gone to the Dogs in Wakefield. Drop in or give us a call at (781) 245-6787 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
