The Importance of Finding 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 created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require 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.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are designed to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Canine Crossing, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind 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 require the lightest of touches. If you're not 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 certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
