The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 complete bath.
Think about 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 obvious why you should have coat products that are created to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Friends of Nature, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may enjoy 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 Friends of Nature in Oconomowoc. Stop in or give us a call at (262) 567-2699 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
