The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be lured 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 distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you need coat products that are created to handle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Heiskell's Feed Depot, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
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 appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the right type of brush to decrease 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 require the lightest of touches.
