The Importance of Selecting the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
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 designed 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 perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are designed to handle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Pet Authority, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
