The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be lured 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 unique 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 cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are made to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Canine Crossing, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. 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 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 type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
