The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:

You might be tempted 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 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.

Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need coat products that are created to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Barkley's Pet Market, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.

Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Barkley's Pet Market in Hardy. Stop in or give us a call at (540) 346-2277 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
