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 challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 complete bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are made to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies, we offer a range of dog grooming products 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 vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin injury. Your dog may enjoy 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 Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies in Cherry Valley. Stop in or give us a call at (815) 332-7665 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.
