The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may 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 unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you really need coat products that are designed to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At City Dogs Grocery, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the best type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at City Dogs Grocery in Indianapolis. Drop in or give us a call at (317) 492-9770 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
