The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured 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 special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are created to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Barkery, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing 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 dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the right kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. 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 type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
