The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special 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 full bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are made to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, 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 an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the right type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. 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 sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at The Pet Authority in Austin. Stop in or give us a call at (507) 396-2770 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.
