The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed 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 distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are designed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of 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 good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very 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 require the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not exactly sure 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 certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
