The Importance of Picking the Proper 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 designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Take into consideration 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 evident why you need to have coat products that are designed to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Great Dogs of Great Falls, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Great Dogs of Great Falls in Great Falls. Stop in or give us a call at (703) 759-3601 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
