shampoo. -
Sensitive Skin: Opt for hypoallergenic
shampoos. -
Dry Skin: Look for moisturizing shampoos with
oatmeal or aloe vera. -
Oily Skin: Use shampoos designed to control
excess oil.
It’s important to choose the right shampoo based on your dog’s
skin type to avoid skin issues and maintain a healthy coat.

viruses.

Understanding Your Dog’s Skin Type
Just like humans, dogs have various skin types that require specific care.
Before choosing a shampoo, it’s essential to identify your dog’s skin type.
Here are the most common categories:
Normal Skin: If your dog’s skin is healthy, not too oily or too dry, you can
choose a mild, general-purpose dog shampoo.
Sensitive Skin: Dogs with sensitive skin may be prone to allergies or
irritation. Opt for hypoallergenic shampoos that are free of harsh chemicals
and fragrances.
Dry Skin: For dogs with dry skin, look for moisturising shampoos that contain
ingredients like oatmeal or aloe vera to soothe and hydrate their skin.
Oily Skin: Dogs with oily skin may benefit from shampoos designed to control
excess oil and reduce odour.
*Its important to know that not all shampoos are made equally. As an example, its not advised to use a human shampoo on your dog. Why? Human
shampoo can cause irritation to your dog`s skin as they have a different pH
level to humans. It can also increase their vulnerability to parasites and
viruses.

Understanding Your Dog’s Coat Type
Grooming involves more than just a good shampoo; it also entails finding the right brush to keep their coat healthy and looking it’s Doggone Gorgeous best.
Here are some common coat types and the brushes that work best for them:
Short Coats: Dogs with short coats, like Boxers or Dachshunds, benefit from
bristle brushes or rubber curry brushes. These brushes help remove loose hair
and stimulate the skin.
Medium Coats: Breeds with medium-length coats, such as Golden Retrievers or
Labrador Retrievers, often need slicker brushes or pin brushes. These tools
help detangle and remove loose fur effectively.
Long Coats: For dogs with long, flowing fur like Shih Tzus or Maltese, a
combination of pin brushes and slicker brushes is ideal. Pin brushes help with
detangling, while slicker brushes remove loose hair and prevent matting.
Wiry-Haired Coats: For dogs with wiry hair, it’s important to choose brushes
that are specifically designed to work with their unique coat texture. Wiry-
haired dogs often have a double coat with a coarse outer layer and a softer
undercoat. Tools such as grooming rakes, pin brushes and slicker brushes work
best.
Curly Coats: Curly-coated dogs, such as Poodles, Bichon Frises, and Portuguese
Water Dogs, have unique grooming needs due to their curly and often dense fur.
Pin brushes and de-matting tools help to keep their coats healthy and tangle-
free.
