The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are made to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the right kind of brush to reduce 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 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 specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
