The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:

You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge 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 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 of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are developed to handle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Canine Crossing, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.

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. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 professionals at Canine Crossing in Andover. Drop in or give us a call at (763) 205-3751 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
