The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:

You might be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.

Consider the idea that your pup is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you really need coat products that are made to tackle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Horses & Hounds, we stock a range of dog grooming products 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 very important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the correct kind 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 unsure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our experts at Horses & Hounds in Granby. Drop in or give us a call at (860) 413-9880 to discuss the type of coat and specific issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
