Bathing, brushing, and drying are a few of the tasks required to keep dogs hygienic and happy! Making the right equipment choices is key. When it comes to hair dryers, dog groomers <strong>do not<\/strong> use human hair dryers, but rather specialized dryers (and usually several different ones) that perform different tasks for each dog.<\/p>\n<p>So how does a dog groomer choose the best hair dryer for their furry clients? There are several factors to consider, such as budget, temperature, speed, type of dog, and storage within your salon. As a new dog groomer, we recommend purchasing a high-velocity dryer, while more experienced groomers can purchase a stand dryer as a second option. Read on for our full guide to different dog dryers, and get some great product suggestions!<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpetstudies.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/choosing-the-best-hair-dryer-for-dog-grooming\/#How_Dog_Dryers_Work\" >How Dog Dryers Work<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpetstudies.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/choosing-the-best-hair-dryer-for-dog-grooming\/#Different_Dryer_Types\" >Different Dryer Types<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Dog_Dryers_Work\"><\/span>How Dog Dryers Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before doing your research into equipment, it\u2019s important to be informed about how dog dryers work. Bathing is one of the most popular services offered by a dog groomer, and clients expect that their pet will look his absolute best once he leaves the salon. In order to ensure that dogs leave your salon with a straight coat (which is very important, as achieving any kind of style will be difficult without it) hair drying is an essential part of the process, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/winter-grooming-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">especially in the winter months<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Once the dog is bathed, get rid of excess water by gently soaking it up with a towel. Then, use a dryer specifically tailored to that dog\u2019s hair (more on this below) and turn it to a warm setting on the highest airflow speed. Brush carefully while you dry, and be sure to completely dry the coat.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;5984&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Dryer_Types\"><\/span>Different Dryer Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a dog groomer, you will undoubtedly care for different types of dogs. This means different types of hair. Once you\u2019ve bathed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/pet-groomers-matted-dog-coat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">de-matted a dog<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to dry his coat.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an outline of the functions of 5 common dog dryers as well as some important points to be mindful of!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Forced-air dryer:<\/h3>\n<p>High-velocity dryers, also known as \u201cforced-air dryers\u201d, use high-pressure air to blow excess water out of a dog\u2019s coat and are the most powerful and efficient dryers on the market. In terms of appearance, these dryers resemble a canister vacuum cleaner, but blow air out rather than sucking it in. Some major benefits of the high-velocity dryer are that it straightens and dries the coat while simultaneously pushing it straight. As a result, groomers do not have to constantly brush while drying.<br \/>\nCubic feet per minute (CFM) is a measurement of how many cubic feet of air a dryer can blast out per minute, so when shopping for a high-velocity dryer, look for one with a flow between 100 and 300 CFM (170 to 500 cubic metres per hour), as well as one that has padding or a special casing to minimize noise. This will help your dogs feel more comfortable during the dry! It is also extremely important to protect yourself while using a high-velocity dryer, and we recommend wearing protective head gear.<br \/>\n<i>Product Recommendation:<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Metro-Force-Steel-Commander-Variable\/dp\/B004UPTSUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Metrovac Air Force Commander Professional Dog Dryer <\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Stand dryer:<\/h3>\n<p>Also known as a \u201cfluff dryer\u201d, stand dryers are attached to an accompanying stand. They allow you the freedom to brush and maneuver the dog while drying. Some dogs have hair that needs to be brushed as it\u2019s dried in order to prevent tangles and achieve the correct style, and the stand dryer is the only type of unit that allows groomers to comb, brush, and style the dog as they dry.<br \/>\nDue to the fact that stand dryers are much quieter than high and low pressure dryers, dogs that are afraid of high-velocity dryers may be more comfortable with a stand dryer.<br \/>\n<i>Product Recommendation:<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Oster-Hi-Velocity-Adjustable-Table-Dryer\/dp\/B0002AQTHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oster Hi-Velocity Adjustable Table and Cage Dryer<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Low-pressure dryer:<\/h3>\n<p>High quantities of air are blown out of these dryers at a much lower pressure than forced-air dryers, allowing groomers to dry sensitive coat types and delicate areas. However, these dryers do not dry fur as quickly as high-velocity dryers, and some units heat up which can put the dog at risk of burns, irritation, and heat stroke. If a dog has sensitive skin or thin fur, low-pressure dryers should be avoided.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;5983&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>4. Handheld dryer:<\/h3>\n<p>This dryer may look very similar to a human hair dryer, but is completely different in terms of its functionality, as it is specially designed for dogs. A human dryer should never be used to dry a dog, as it can be too hot and also will not have the power required to properly dry a dog\u2019s coat.<br \/>\nHandheld dryers are an inexpensive choice, and are a great way to introduce puppies to the drying process \u2013 just keep in mind that the lowest heat setting is safest.<br \/>\n<i>Product Recommendation:<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petedge.com\/zpetedgemain\/catalog\/productDetail.jsf?wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&amp;itemKey=005056A633791ED2B5863B3A431A8FB3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Comfort Dry Dryer by Andis <\/a><\/p>\n<h3>5. Cage dryer:<\/h3>\n<p>Similar to the low-pressure dryer mentioned above, cage dryers are designed for use on a dog secured within a cage. This is a convenient option as it allows the groomer to begin drying a second dog while the first dog is drying, and are great options for dogs with sensitive skin or thin fur, as low pressure air likely will not hurt them.<br \/>\nAs cage dryers use heat, the dogs can be at risk of heatstroke, especially if left alone in the cage. Alternatively, a wet dog can begin to shiver in a cage dryer without the use of heat, and this chill can put older or sick dogs at risk of hypothermia.<br \/>\nCage dryers are a great choice for an experienced groomer who can ensure the animal is safe and comfortable.<br \/>\n<i>Product Recommendation:<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petedge.com\/zpetedgemain\/catalog\/productDetail.jsf?area=&amp;sort=RD&amp;wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&amp;page=C35456610F7C42BFA1CA25328F1F0BBB&amp;itemKey=005056A633791ED2B5866931D93F8FB3&amp;show=12&amp;view=grid&amp;wec-locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grizzly B-Air Cub Single Cage Dryers <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Purchasing grooming equipment as you begin your career requires research, as well as an understanding of how different items work.
