Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | Blowdryer(s) I would like to know what kind of blow dryer do you use for your furkids? i prefer one that i don't have to hold so i can concentrate on brushing their hair. Thanks

| I almost ordered the Andis dryer with a stand from Petedge, but I read quite a few reviews that the stand didn't hold up well. I'm still on the lookout myself for a dryer with a stand!

| I ordered a force air dryer on Ebay and I am just going to buy one of those clip on arms that will hold the nozzle. I've ordered the Andis from Petedge and I sent it back because it doesn't have enough force. My own blowdryer had more air than that one!!

| I've often wondered about the differences between regular human blow dryers vs. specific ones for pups. Right now I use a regular dryer on my 2, I only brush once the hair is dry.

| I find that the hair is more fragile when it is wet. That is why I prefer to do it when dry or as close to dry as possible. I don't see breakage or large amounts of hair on the brush. I use a pure paws hair brush. This topic is interesting because it means that it's ok to comb the hair wet or dry, I think its more a matter of preference.

| I use a human hair dryer. I don't dry Pepper completely though, and only then start brushing him. He has a longer version of puppy cut so I guess it doesn't matter as much as with dogs with long hair.

| Honestly, I use my T3 Tourmaline dryer b/c it dries so quickly. After I'm done, I use the "cool" setting & smooth it all over. She's so shiney afterwards!
