OH yeah another thing....?

Can I use a blow hair drier to dry my dogs hair?



OH yeah another thing....?

On low heat if she/he tolerates it



OH yeah another thing....?

YES!



OH yeah another thing....?

It will not hurt her many dogs like it



OH yeah another thing....?

Of course! If they sit there long enough, and if the noise doen't scare them!!!



OH yeah another thing....?

Yes, but be careful because they can get hot. Keep the hair dryer moving around.



Bear in mind some dogs just don't like the dryer. They can be scary (like little vacuum cleaners near their head). In which case you may be resigned to towel drying



OH yeah another thing....?

As long as it is not too hot you can, but be very careful that it is just warm and will not burn the dog, as they can be very sensitive.



OH yeah another thing....?

YES, our dog loves it....just don't hold it too close to him/her so you don't burn him/her.



OH yeah another thing....?

You can, but you have to be careful. Dogs can overheat a lot easier than people, so use a low heat setting, keep it moving, and watch for any signs that it is getting too hot. If you notice he is getting too hot, then just stop for a minute and let him cool down.



OH yeah another thing....?

Yes, but be sure to keep it on a low heat setting.Not all dogs tolerate it though.



OH yeah another thing....?

Yeah if it doesnt scare them. At our clinic we and our groomer had a huge dryer that looked like an old fashion vaccuum and a cage dryer. They both work good. At home I use my hair dryer on low heat but my golden hates it because 1) she hates things blowing air on her, 2) she hates the noise, and 3) she has long hair and takes forever to dry so she has to hear it and feel it longer than my other dog. Good luck

Show dogs are blow dried allllllllllllll the time.



OH yeah another thing....?

Oh yes you can I do it on my dog all the time. Just keep it moving. It makes their fur smoother and softer. My dog has dandruff so drying it with a hair drying helps it a little.

of couse you can!



just sometimes they dont like it blown in their face! it can dry their nose.



OH yeah another thing....?

I do, you do have to watch the dog to make sure it doesn't freak them out. My dog doesn't like the noise. Drying with a blow drier is much faster and thorough than hand drying, after a bath.
