The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge 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 distinct 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 full 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 need to have coat products that are made to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Barkery, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the best 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 The Barkery in Belleville. Stop in or give us a call at (618) 364-5790 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
