The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require 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.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you need coat products that are designed to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array 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 compact undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. 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. Drop in or give us a call at (507) 396-2770 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
