The Importance of Selecting the Proper Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps 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, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are developed to take on these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Three Tails Parlor and Pantry, 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 an array of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct type of brush to minimize 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 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 type of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
