The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need coat products that are made to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, repair 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 nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at The Barkery in Belleville. Stop in or give us a call at (618) 364-5790 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
