The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are made to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Boofy's Best for Pets, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the best kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Boofy's Best for Pets in Albuquerque. Drop in or give us a call at (505) 884-3855 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
