The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated 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.
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 quickly becomes obvious why you need to have coat products that are made to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Urban Canine, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
