The Importance of Finding 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 special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are created to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly 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 appreciate 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 in Mashpee. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 477-2663 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
