The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:

You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem 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 require 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.

Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you should have coat products that are manufactured to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Canine Crossing, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.

Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may appreciate 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 type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
