I use to blow dry after a bath, which with Ahia involved closing the bathroom door and just aim the dryer her way. you know, after you wash your hair and the blow dryer first hits you, it is cold. well it is the same for them. I now just let Ahia run around the house rubbing on everything to dry off some. when she is thru running she is partically dry. then is when I use the brush.
with the other ones I just wrap them in a towel and get most of the moisture off then take a towel out of the dryer while it is still warm and wrap them in a warm towel. they ususally will let me know when they are dry enough to get out of the towel and I then brush. I think it is better not to brush while they are real wet any way. they brush out much better if they are partically dry.
as soon as I start the bath I put a clean ,dry towel in the dryer to warm up. then walk them around in one towel to get most of the moisture out then use the warm one and sit with them for a while.
I hope this helps you.
