The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are created to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Barkery, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing 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 almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may enjoy 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 The Barkery in Belleville. Drop in or give us a call at (618) 364-5790 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
