The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:

You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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 full bath.

Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are created to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Petsakes Pet Supplies, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.

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 appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. 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 not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Petsakes Pet Supplies in Des Moines. Stop in or give us a call at (515) 633-9446 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
