The Importance of Finding the Proper 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 formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct 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 full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you need coat products that are manufactured to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Braxton's Animal Works, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
