The Importance of Picking the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular 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, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need coat products that are manufactured to handle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Cherry Valley Feed & Supplies, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
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. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right kind of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 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 type of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
