The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique 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.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need coat products that are designed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At City Dogs Grocery, we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to minimize 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 not sure 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 type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
