| i also use a hairdryer on magic. I have one on a stand and brush as i am drying otherwise he would get wavy and just would not look the same. |

| What a great idea. I never used a hairdryer on Cooper because he has a really short cottony coat. But now that it's getting colder, and Max has a silky coat, I think this would be really helpful!

| Mine are still young and do pretty good with the hair dryer. I just talk to them calmly and reassure them it is okay while going slowly. I love how their hair looks after. Much better than a towel/air dryed look.

| I towel dry then use a hairdryer. I keep it on low and my thumb covering her ear canal when I dry her head area so the sound isn't too hard on her eardrums.

| I have used a hairdryer on bothe my Shih Tzu and Yorkie. However, they freak out. They hate the noise . I am going to buy one that is especially for dogs , I have heard that they are quieter.

| I use a hair dryer on Louis. I keep it on low setting and I make sure I never stay in one place for too long. I also blow dry it over my hand as I am drying his hair to make sure that it is not too hot. Louis shivers after I give him a bath, so I always blow dry it so he doesn't get cold. Also, his hair looks so much better when I blow it dry.

| I use hairdryer on George Whenever he has a bath I use it otherwise he'll do his mad run around on all the mats and beds trying to get dry, he hated the noise at first so when i brushed him I'd have it going next to us so he got used to the noise, it is only set on 1(very low heat) and I keep it moving, but now when I use it for my hair he comes and sits on the cushion ready and waiting for his turn so cute.

| Zeke does not like the hair dryer, so I just towel dry him. Then I lay the towel on the rug and he continues rubbing himself on it until he is pretty dry. |

| Yes, use a blow dryer but on low setting. I bathe mine 2 times a week. Keep their coats nice and clean. |

| I have always blow dried Bentley after a bath. Like the others I keep my hand in between the dryer and his coat so I can feel how hot it is. I keep it on low heat and keep rubbing his fur as I go. Then I brush him as he gets near drying. |
