| I found out my groomer uses a crate dryer... Have you guys heard of this? Instead of hand drying dogs there is a crate that some groomers use which dries the dogs. When I was looking into possibly switching groomers, a few articles popped up about dogs who were injured in one. When my assistant dropped Teddy off for his grooming (she helps me get things done when I am at the salon) she asked if they have one and they said: Yes, but we usually hand dry him. I want to put the word usually in caps because I am upset:-( They said they would never put him in there again, but I am very upset...I don't trust them now. Has anyone had an experience with this? |

| Cage dryers should be banned! I would look for a new groomer right away for Teddy. There is a thread here about a Yorkie who was severely injured in one. I would link the thread, but the pictures gave me nightmares. Cage dryers are also not good for eyes.

| I agree. Cage dryers are a very scary thing for the dogs to be in too! And the dog that was injured in one was literally being cooked alive! Change groomers immediately! Unless you or your assistant stays with your dog there the entire time, there is no way to truly believe them that they are 100% never ever going to use it again on your dog. Or just groom yourself. It's not that hard. I do all mine myself. Or hire a mobile groomer to come to you so you can watch.

| I don't have any experience, and after a few grooming horrors with my babies at the Rainbow Bridge, I have done all of my own grooming for many years. There was a thread on here a few years ago that I learned about these dryers. I shared the story with every dog owner I knew personally. It completely horrified me. The photo in this thread is difficult to bear, so I'd advise not to open it. This story really awakened me to this. I don't think I'd trust your groomer after this. Perhaps they monitor the dogs when using them, but they really scare me now. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...n-graphic.html

| I agree that they are not optimal and can be dangerous if used incorrectly. I'd choose to avod groomers who use them. ...but depending on temp of air, room to move, etc. your pup may have geen just fine and not traumatized.

| This type of set up....cage dryers....has always struck me as a "laundramat groomer"....you can actually accomplish the same thing at home...just throw the dog in the washing machine and then take 'em out and throw 'em in the dryer!!! I HATE those things! |

I always admire your beautiful Katie. I didn't know that you actually do your own grooming. I am a hair colorist by trade, and years ago I used to cut hair too. If I had some good articles and such, I imagine that I could learn to d it too. I actually usually fix his haircuts anyway, I have just never attempted to do one from start to finish. Do you have any favorite articles, or recommended reading? | |

| Teddy hates being enclosed in anything (except his carrier oddly enough!) and so I can only imagine his panic even in the best possible situation. |

| I agree. Also wouldn't you know it, Teddy looked completely different when he came home yesterday. His hair was smooth and sleek and it it usually very puffy. I'm willing to bet they put him in it every single time. |
