The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
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 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 specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you really need coat products that are designed to take on these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 professionals at Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies in Cherry Valley.
