Drying your furbaby with a hairdryer. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm in Arizona, and a few times in the summer, I'll let him go outside after a bath, but most of the time we use the blow dryer. My baby gets chilled easily.

I always blow dry!! It's just like our hair....the hair dryer makes it look much more fluffy/shiny/voluminous

We blow dry everytime. Jamie loves it on his back but hates having it pointed any where near his face unless I hold down the cold blast button!

Tetley loves the hairdryer too! I put it on high power, low heat and he is such a well behaved little gentleman while I dry him off. Once we're done he gets a special treat.

why wouldnt u blow dry them?

i always blow dry princess after her bath or from being wet too.. i use a low warm setting

After a bath I always blow dry Diesel. I usually just towel dry him if he gets a little wet if he goes out while it is raining. It really depends on how wet he gets too. If he is soaking wet then yeah I will blow dry him. If he is just a little wet I will towel dry him and let him go. He LOVES running around the house when he is wet. Both of the dogs get to running and playing. I just let him play. He loves it. If he starts to get chilled then I will pull the dryer out..

Eekkk, can we say, Wet Dog Smell.

I use the dryer after baths in the winter time, I don't want them getting cold. But in the summer I just turn off the overhead fan and let them run around like crazed idiots.

They both love to run and roll and rub on the towel I put down.

What is it about a bath that gets them so all fire riled up?

When it's warm, I bathe the boys and towel dry a little.. then they also get down and run around like crazed idiots. ha ha.. they love to run and roll on a pile of dry towels I put down for them.. when they are done.. I blow dry them. But my little miss Sandy... no way will she roll indignantly around on towels. She always wants to have Mommy dry her with towels and then the hair dryer. If I put her on the floor.. she just stands there and gives me this... "What is wrong with you... you are not done here." .. look. So I pick her back up and finish the job. After I am done.. she wants to crawl in bed with daddy for a while. (He works nights.)

Of course I would blow dry my sweet girl! But then we are all in this obsessive Yorkie club, I don't think that no one of this board would tell you no!

Peace and Love,

When I have help I blow dry them. Chip will just lay in my lap, but Smokey is extremely afraid of the noise and I have to have hubby hold him while I blow.

We blow dry on low only if it's cold. I've heard if you use a blow dryer to often it may dry their skin.
