The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:

You could 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 unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 complete bath.

Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are developed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct ingredients 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 fantastic.

Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals 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 particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
