The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 full bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need coat products that are manufactured to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Barkery, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy 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 very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require the right 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 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 The Barkery in Belleville. Drop in or give us a call at (618) 364-5790 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
