The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are developed to tackle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 The Pet Authority in Austin. Stop in or give us a call at (507) 396-2770 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.
