Some groomers put dogs in a crate with a dryer attached to the door. The dog is not monitored and cannot escape if the dryer becomes hot. I am of the opinion that these dryers should be banned because they have injured dogs badly. One Yorkie here had his chest severely burned by a cage dryer.
not only have dogs been injured, but one poodle died after being left in the cage dryer for 50 minutes!
