The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated 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 cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are designed to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Canine Crossing, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
