The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:

You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special 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 complete bath.

Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are created to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Barkley's Pet Market, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.

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 appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats need the best type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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. Drop in or give us a call at (540) 346-2277 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
