The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed 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 special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are made to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Critters & Me, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy 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 dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the best type of brush to decrease 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at The Critters & Me in Santa Fe.
