The Importance of Selecting the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could 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 unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 complete bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes apparent why you need to have coat products that are designed to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the appropriate components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At My Pet Naturally, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies 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 important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid 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 unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at My Pet Naturally in Santa Monica. Stop in or give us a call at (310) 477-3030 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
