The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for 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 full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are designed to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right type of brush to minimize 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 not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Natural Pet Food Solutions in Portland. Stop in or give us a call at (971) 373-8077 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
