The Importance of Choosing the Best Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be enticed 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 special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleaners 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 spots, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are manufactured to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't include the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. 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 professionals at Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies in Cherry Valley. Drop in or give us a call at (815) 332-7665 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
