The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:

You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't formulated for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with distinct 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.

Consider the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy spots, and it soon becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are made to deal with these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't consist of the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Brown Dog Bakery, 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 range of textures with hair follicles differing from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and avoid skin damage. 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Brown Dog Bakery in Ankeny. Stop in or give us a call at (515) 964-7177 to discuss the kind of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
