The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Healthy Pet Products Florida, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right 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 kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Healthy Pet Products Florida in Port Charlotte. Drop in or give us a call at (941) 883-2627 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
