The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need coat products that are developed to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we stock a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 professionals at The Pet Authority in Austin. Stop in or give us a call at (507) 396-2770 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
