The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You may be lured 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 distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific 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 full bath.
Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes obvious why you really need coat products that are designed to tackle these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Happy Tails Groom & Board, we stock 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 varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 experts at Happy Tails Groom & Board in Tunica. Drop in or give us a call at (662) 357-8003 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.
