The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are made to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Braxton's Animal Works, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range 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. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to decrease 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 not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Braxton's Animal Works in Wayne. Stop in or give us a call at (610) 688-0769 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
