The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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.
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 soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are developed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At everything but the dog, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking good.
Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats need the best type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at everything but the dog in Reading. Stop in or give us a call at (781) 944-5300 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.
