The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique 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 full bath.
Think about 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 obvious why you should have coat products that are designed to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Bark Ave Pet Supplies, we offer a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging 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 thick undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the best type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin injury. Your dog may appreciate a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Bark Ave Pet Supplies in Harleysville. Drop in or give us a call at (215) 513-7387 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
