The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue 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 specific 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 full bath.
Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are developed to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity Pet Grocery & Boutique, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety 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. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats require the best kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. 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 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 kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
