The Importance of Picking the Right 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 created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think about 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 really need coat products that are developed to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Bonnie's Barkery, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
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 right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 Bonnie's Barkery in Cave Creek. Drop in or give us a call at (480) 502-7973 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
