The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need coat products that are made to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing 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 compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct type 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Hot Diggity in Mashpee. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 477-2663 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
