The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted 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 special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are designed to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying 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 dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 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.
