The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You might be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't made for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have special hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 full bath.
Think of 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 contain the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At The Modern Paws, we offer a range of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking great.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow dense undercoats while others have almost no undercoat at all. All coats require the correct kind of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent 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 uncertain of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at The Modern Paws in Tampa. Drop in or give us a call at (813) 841-1805 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.
