| Any advice on doggie dryers? Need advice on how much horsepower to buy and brand if you know it. I have a 5 lb and a 6 lb. yorkie? |

| I use a human blow dryer for mine but they aren't in show coat or anything. Looking it to getting a better one for Buddy the Golden because the human one takes forever with him.

| I just use my blow dryer on my two and haven't ever had any problems... Are you talking about one of those cage dryers?

| I have to echo Michelle, do you mean handheld blow dryer or a cage dryer? I only use a human hair dryer, but my list of gotta haves had one with a stand so I could use both hands... finally Oster Dog products just came out with one for $12.98 at Walmart, so I bought that (saved me over $20 from Petsmart price) and it works great on my gang. I like it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I have the Andis, and it's nothing special, I think it's probably overpriced, but it has worked well for 5 years. Both the Oster and the Andis have a stand and a cool down button. I just think the Oster looks more substantial, but I haven't seen it in person.

| i was looking online at Petedge.com they have several that ate supposed to be quieter and faster and yes a stand so I can use both hands would be great. I've using my hairdryer on warm air rather than hot. It works OK but I'm one handed using it and it does take a long time to dry them an makes a lot of noise which my pups dont seem to mind because, God Bless my breeder, she starts letting them hear the clipper and the dryer as early as possible just so they get usde to the sound. |
