The Importance of Choosing the Proper Shampoo for Your Dog:

You may be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The problem is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with particular 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 full bath.

Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, scratchy patches, and it soon becomes obvious why you need coat products that are designed to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't contain the correct components to de-scent, repair dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Brick City Pets, we stock a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.

Dog coats come in a range of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have virtually no undercoat whatsoever. All coats need the best type of brush to minimize pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. 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 not sure 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 particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the most effective for your dog.
