The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:

You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue 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 call for shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 full 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 coat products that are manufactured to tackle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Petsakes Pet Supplies, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.

Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 not exactly 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. Drop in or give us a call at (515) 633-9446 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.
