No more blowdrying 1 Attachment(s) No more blowdrying for me. The last 4 times I have bathed the girls I let them run around to dry. I can tell a HUGE different in their coats. Lexi looks so pretty and shiney. Lexi has never had a knot before, (knock on wood) and has always been easy to brush. Now though she is so silky soft I could (but don't) use a regular people comb on her. Here is a pic of her |
blowdrying I think she looks absolutely beautiful. I believe that heat damages hair. I love to hold Brandy after a bath and toweldry her until she falls asleep in my arms. |
Oh WOW he's sooooo shiny! That's great. Honestly, I don't even own a blowdryer for myself, LOL! I keep meaning to buy one for Sully....but hey, if air-drying is better for their coats (like it is better for our hair too)...then hey, I'll stick to this method too! |
wow her hair does look gorgeous!! :aimeeyork yeah after i blowdry crunchy, his hair looks pretty dry/dull so i might just give this a try ...he'd especially love it since to him the blowdryer is the devil! its just that i hate to see him cold and damp |
I've never tried that. Mine LOVE the blow dryer and I am afraid they will catch cold if they don't get dry right away. I need to try it. How do you keep them warm? |

I get a towel along with everything else I need to groom them. I also put a towel in the dryer while I'm bathing them. When I get them out of the bath I wrap her in a towel, and towel dry her a bit then I get the nice warm towel out of the dryer and wrap her in that one and take the wet one off her. While still wrapped I put her in my lap and clip toenails, shave the tips of her ears, and clean them. Then I lay her on my bed or the couch all bundled up while I do the next one. Then when she gets to that point I take the first one and shave her bum and her girlie area, and brush her(by then she is almost completely dry) Let me warn you though they will run around like a mad dog for a few minutes first.. |
I always let peawee air dry. Usually in 5 min. he's dry. |

WOW Lexi's hair DOES look so darn perfect :D |
bathing I just rub her with the towel and switch off to a dry one if it gets too wet. I never thought of using the dryer for a warm one. I live in San Diego, so it doesn't get very cold here. I guess it depends on the dog because Brandy just LOVES to be held and dried off after her bath, she always falls asleep in my arms and dries off pretty quickly. But then again her hair isn't very long yet. |
I bought a commercial-type of dryer that does not have a heating element. It will eventually blow warm air but only from the motor as it does not have a heating element. It was costly, but I always have several adults to groom and I can put one in the drying cage while I am shampooing another one. I usually just hold them and dry with the comm. dryer and they do better that way. It takes mine forever to air dry and they rub all over the couch, walls and stuff and get all dirty again. I use their dryer for my hair..It is less damaged than when I used a human dryer with hot settings. |
Shelby loves the dryer. I have one that stands on it's own so I put it on warm/low and she stays right by it. she shivers when she is wet, maybe my house isn't warm enough :confused: |
I always use a hair dryer , I let them dry naturally once and it was a real mess . I will never try it again . |
Lexi looks great!! I love that yellow bow!!! :D |
YES!! Dollar hates the hair dryer |
I'm so envious of alot of you!!! I WISH tucker loved the blow dryer! hahaha as soon as he see's it and his shampoo bottle, he tries to scramble away. I towel dry him first, until he's a little damp,and then i blow dry him. Also to prevent his coat from getting damaged and dried out fom the blow dryer, i dilute a mild leave in conditioner and leave it on his hair( in between bathes)and rinse it out after about a day or so. I do this every other week, and it makes his hair very soft, shiny and easy to comb. |
I dry both of mine with a blow dryer. Chachis is real good but Jewels hates it and squirms. |

I haven't blown dry my hair in a good 10- 12 years and I've never have Mollie's. I have Wyatt once it was only because I have to bathe the puppies because they made a mess in the crate. |
It takes forever to dry Chloe, with a blow dryer, because of her cottony hair and I have to keep it on low. During the summer I have cut short both dogs' hairdrying time and let them run around the house. They love it. However, I am concerned about the colder weather and I live in Fl. But, I'm willing to try again if I could get as nice a look as yours. |
Lexy looks adorable. So shiny and soft. I don't blow dry Gucci's hair either. She gets so nervous. She dries pretty fast running all over the apt. I do hold her and dry her with a towel. But I tell you she prefers to run around like a wild woman. :rolleyes: |
Funny you mention this cause when I bathed my four two days ago, I let them all air dry too, instead of using the dryer like I've always done and I can tell a HUGE difference too!!! PLUS, it's a LOT less work!!!! BTW, Lexi looks pretty :) |
Her coat does look very pretty. I havent ben useing the dryer on my two. But Will once it gets colder. |

Which one did you buy? I have the Super Duck and it is not so super. It takes forever. I prefer a no heat element dryer, too, just can't decide which one to buy. Thanks, :aimeeyork Sheila |
Hmmm.. I may try this with Tay! I know the 2 times I've gave her a bath I've blown-dryied her, so I may not do it this Sunday to see how she does. Of course, she's still a baby, so we will see..hehe |

I also have a cotton coat and you are right-even with a blow dryer it takes forever for it to dry. Without the blow dryer :eek: I would hate to think how long that would take. Plus it doesn't help that she shivers (even with our San Diego weather) and likes to curl up under the dryer. I use warm towels after her bath and always have ( even with my sons when they were little )but maybe during the summer I will give it try. |
I blow dry my pups...but there's a button on my blowdryer that you can push while your drying and it turns the air cold....thats what i usually use...and every once in a while i'll take my finger off to let a lil big of warmth come threw |
:aimeeyork My breeder told me to towel dry Muffin to get off excess water and then blow dry her hair until it's "damp dry" which takes no time at all. She said never blow dry her hair completely as it will really dry out her coat. I've only bathed her 3 times since I got her but I think I'll try letting her air dry once and see what happens. It is getting cooler here in the Chicago area but I'll try the warmed up towel trick and see what happens. |
Shaving Do you shave her parts with a regular shaver? |
