The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think about the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are developed to address these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Three Tails Parlor and Pantry, we stock a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy 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 very important to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and stop skin damage. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and require 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 Three Tails Parlor and Pantry in Columbia. Stop in or give us a call at (618) 281-9900 to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the best for your dog.
