The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are manufactured to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not 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 certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
