The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:

You could be enticed 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 unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 full bath.

Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Barkley's Pet Market, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.

Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 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 specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
