The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't created 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 maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full 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 soon becomes apparent why you really need coat products that are developed to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Sunshine City Pets, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range 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 dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the right type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 professionals at Sunshine City Pets in St Petersburg, FL. Drop in or give us a call at (727) 202-8044 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
