We've been using the groomer for seven months and she has always done it this way but what do you think? I would be very willing to pay extra to have her completely dried with a human (low powered dryer). |
I think that one is safe just very powerful to dry quickly it is when they just throw them in a cage with a cage dryer and not pay attention that the problem occurs but i still think those should be safe if they are going to manufacture them and sell to groomers it should never be able to get that darn hot. I have never heard of a dog dying from the hand dryers but i have heard of them dying from the cage ones
and also have heard of them drowning from leaving them in water on a strap. I do not ever leave mine unattended i actually help my groomer groom them as i have a mobile come to home and i hold them while doing nails etc.
A lady on my yorkie group is a groomer and our previous groomer both have told me there is no training for grooming really and our one groomer was trained while in correctional facility. She was great but they train them for a trade and this is one of them while at the youth authorities. A few groomers told me alot of them are drug addicts, etc and come to work drunk or on drugs so the one on my yorkie group has to fire alot of them as not safe. One of my friends poodles died at groomer and i met the dog washer from that grooming shop and she told me he would abuse the dogs while grooming by hitting them if they did not stay still, etc and my friends dog died there
I know there are some wonderful ones as i have a great one and have had a few others but just like all professions there are some bad ones and our dogs cannot talk. Just be careful. I was pretty shocked
I looked into buying a local grooming shop that was up for sale and adding a boutique and selling food there and did a lot of research on it and decided against it as many told me there are alot of flakey groomers and since i did not want to groom I would be relying on these people for my business as i wanted to run the boutique. This is when i found out even more about things
