The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
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 created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think of the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you need coat products that are manufactured to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing 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 dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop 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 not 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.
