The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require 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 complete bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you really need coat products that are developed to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Healthy Pet Products Florida, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet 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 right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 not sure 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 type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
