The Importance of Choosing the Best 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 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 particular 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, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are designed to handle these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, heal dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. At Creature Comforts, we offer a range of dog grooming supplies that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling nice and looking great.
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's crucial to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Many dogs grow thick undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats need the correct type 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 not sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Creature Comforts in Durango. Stop in or give us a call at (970) 247-2748 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.
