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 issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with certain 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 complete bath.

Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it soon becomes apparent why you should have coat products that are manufactured to address these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the appropriate ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Brick City Pets, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.

Dog coats come in an array 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. Many dogs grow compact undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the right type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin damage. Your dog may take pleasure in 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 experts at Brick City Pets in Newark. Drop in or give us a call at (973) 362-9489 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.
