The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be enticed 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 call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you should have coat products that are designed to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Barkley's Pet Market, we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety 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. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats need the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may appreciate 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 very best for your dog.
