Dog Grooming Tips - How to Blow Dry Your Dog's Hair For Best Results

The Soggy Doggy Owner, David Goretski explains how to blow dry your dog's hair for best results.
We want to get the right tools into peoples’ hands. And blow dryers are some of the best brushes in the world! Using a blow dryer is not really about drying. It’s about getting rid of the loose hair at our location so people aren’t dealing with it at home. Some dogs don’t like to have parts of their bodies brushed, so the dryer is great for them. And dryers have variable speeds so you can start low and build up if your dog is nervous. We did lots of research before opening. Blow drying is one of the most important parts of the bath. Believe me, dryers send hair everywhere in the shop, but we’re designed to handle it. Leave the mess at our place! If your dog is clean, there’s less dander, less shedding. Your house is cleaner, and you’ll have a better relationship with your dog.

Regarding Force Dryer, you should NEVER stay in one spot for a while. Its best to extend your arm outward so the air is more spread out so its not in one specific spot ( this will allow you to see the problem or matted areas) and then dry that specific area you need for 3 second, move to a different area extend your arm and do the same thing, then you can come back to the previous area you were working on and continue the cylce, this helps avoid any unpleasantness for the dog. Because how would you like it if someone used a force dryer on you in one spot and kept it there for a full minute, that thing hurts, man. Always smart to test things on yourself to sense how the dog will react/feel. You also forgot to mention certain breads and dogs with health/mental issues should not be forced dried as it can be too much on their body. Always best to use the dryer w/out the nozzle, if they are okay in all volume settings (usually 2), then move your way up with the nozzle of course if they are a breed that allows it and they have no health/mental issues.

Do you shave your dog prior to a bath or after?

[@cassidy4822]

It depends on the breed and condition or the coat. If there are Matt’s, shave first. Bathing will tighten the matting and will make it even more painful and will be really difficult to fully dry prior to shaving.
