The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be tempted 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 distinct hair and skin needs that require 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.
Take into consideration the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you should have coat products that are developed to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require the lightest of touches.
