The Importance of Choosing the Best 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 created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you should have coat products that are made to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Premier Pet Supply, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may enjoy 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 experts at Premier Pet Supply in Troy. Stop in or give us a call at (248) 677-0154 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
