The Importance of Picking the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't made 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 perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you really need coat products that are designed to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At The Urban Canine, we offer a range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right type of brush to minimize 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 require 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 professionals at The Urban Canine in Spokane. Drop in or give us a call at (509) 744-9663 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
