The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:

You could be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed 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 perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.

Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are created to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Petsakes Pet Supplies, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.

Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may enjoy 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 experts at Petsakes Pet Supplies in Des Moines. Stop in or give us a call at (515) 633-9446 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
