The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be lured 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 special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even 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, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you really need coat products that are manufactured to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Braxton's Animal Works, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the right kind of brush to decrease 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 require the lightest of touches.
