The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:

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 developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.

Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you should have coat products that are designed to handle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal 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 great and looking good.

Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying 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 virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop 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 experts 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 particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
