Professional Pet Grooming Dryers

Andis, B-Air, Double K, Flying Pig, K-9 Dryers and Metrovac are reliable brands of high velocity dog dryers that professional dog groomers use.

Good pet dryers are multi-speed, have powerful motors and high-quality casings, and come with specialty nozzles for fast efficient drying.

Secure your dog to the grooming table and towel dry them first. Set the dog grooming dryer to high and begin drying by holding the nozzle close to the dog’s body, forcing the water out. Continue up the legs, belly, back and tail. On low speed, carefully dry the chest, neck and outer ears only.

Setting the dryer on the highest speed will result in a fast drying time, but use this only for the larger areas of your pet. For areas around the head or for dogs who are frightened by the noise, reduce the speed.

The velocity of professional dog dryers is higher than in human dryers to penetrate dense coats to remove moisture. Dog dryers have only ‘air’ or ‘warm’ temperature settings to protect canine skin. The nozzle of a human dryer is ineffective on dog hair unlike the specialty nozzles available with dog dryers. Dog dryers are durable and designed to run for longer, more frequent sessions than a human dryer.
