They do not used caged dryers at my groomer. It's really nice (but small) and they let all the dogs wander around instead of being put in cages if they're friendly. I bet they use good shampoo but I really like Buddy Wash/Rinse and it saves money to bathe and clip the nails myself
. I will try the blow drying like you said. I'm actually a terrible blow dryer.. I just straighten my hair lol. Thank you!
