The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 complete 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 obvious why you really need coat products that are made to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Urban Canine, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches. If you're not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at The Urban Canine in Spokane. Stop in or give us a call at (509) 744-9663 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.
