The Importance of Finding the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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.
Consider 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 apparent why you should have coat products that are designed to deal with these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, repair dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Hot Diggity, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles differing 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 at all. All coats need the right kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 experts at Hot Diggity in Mashpee. Drop in or give us a call at (508) 477-2663 to discuss the type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
