Do you use a blow dryer to dry your babies hair?

I use the dryer on Aubrey hair, and hes starting to get tired of it. He hates sitting there for so long and a towel won't dry it good.

I use a stand dryer with 3 speeds. That way it is easier on me and the dogs as I am not trying to hold the dryer in one hand a hold the dog in the other. And with the 3 settings, I can make sure that it never gets too hot. Its one of the best investments I have made. Lynn

Thats what this spa uses. Where did you get yours from, can you please send me a link?

I use a blow dryer on Izzy in between visits to her groomer and it takes FOREVER.

I, too, want to invest in a good stand dryer and waiting to see what others post.

I use a blow dryer for Miko and Emma. Miko will sit still and turn in whatever direction I want him to turn. He doesn't mind at all and seems to enjoy it

Emma on the other hand isn't crazy about the blow dryer.

It depends if it's warm or cold outside.

Gracie2006 · 09-22-2007, 04:45 PM

I use a blow dryer in the fall, winter and spring when there is a chill in the air. In the heat of the summer I let her dry a'natural. I use my blow dryer, an ionic one. It dries Gracie in just a few minutes.

I use mine on them. I have to get professional hair dryers because my hair is SO thick it takes 15 mins to dry with a wimpy one. Mine has 3 temp and 2 speed settings. Most importantly, it blows A LOT of air. Air speed is more important than heat. I use the concentrator on their back and legs and turn it super low to do their faces. I try them probably 80% and let the rest air dry unless it is really cold outside or something.

I let them air dry, they don't like the dryer.

BLowry · 09-23-2007, 04:32 AM

I use my blow dryer on Lillie..She just sits there and lets me dry her until she is totally dry...I think she likes it! Sadie will have NOTHING to do with it. She is terrified of the dryer. I usually hold her for a bit and towel dry her then let her run around like a crazy dog to dry off. In the winter I hold her in the towel until she is almost totally dry.

I use a blow dryer on Ruby. Petsmart has one, on a stand, that is a reasonble price, its only drawback is that it takes up room on the grooming table I use. Because of that I would like to get a floor model stand.

I was told by a show exhibitor to always blow dry. Wet hair attracts dirt and oils, so it's important to get them dry ASAP.

YorkieShadow · 09-23-2007, 12:59 PM

We only use the dryer in the winter.

SANDYSAND · 09-23-2007, 01:08 PM

I let Koda's hair dry natural, In the winter I use the dryer @ a very low speed

I have two dogs. Maggie a cockapoo and Sophie a 12 week old yorkie. I have a laundry sink in the basement and had a hook installed above the washer. I hang the blowdryer and sit them on a towel on the washer and am able to brush and blow dry pretty easy.

I use a blow dryer until in slightly damp, then I let them finish air drying.
