The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could 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 distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 full bath.
Consider 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 should have coat products that are designed to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Friends of Nature, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
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. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Friends of Nature in Oconomowoc. Stop in or give us a call at (262) 567-2699 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.
