The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct 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 of the idea that your pup 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 to have coat products that are manufactured to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
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 appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the best type of brush to minimize 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. Drop 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 best for your dog.
