The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed 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 special 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.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Friends of Nature, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may appreciate 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 professionals at Friends of Nature in Oconomowoc. Drop 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 best for your dog.
