The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be tempted 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 unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific 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.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you really need coat products that are created to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 Natural Pet Food Solutions in Portland. Drop in or give us a call at (971) 373-8077 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
