The Importance of Picking the Right 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 distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you really need coat products that are created to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique, we stock a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need 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 experts at Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique in Hyannis. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 957-2124 to discuss the type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
