The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:

You may 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 unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.

Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it quickly becomes obvious why you should have coat products that are made to take on these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Prairie Dog Pet Mercantile, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking fantastic.

Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the correct kind 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 need the lightest of touches. If you're not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Prairie Dog Pet Mercantile in Spokane. Stop in or give us a call at (509) 443-9663 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
