Can you Blow Dry a Dog?

Yes. This is how groomers do it. Things to keep in mind while blow drying your dog/animal.

1. Don't let the air get too hot. Dogs are more sensitive to heat on their skin than humans. Let the air blow over your hand while drying to assess the temperature.

2. Use a blower for animals if you can, but hair dryers for humans are fine, just remember #1 above.

3. Brush, Brush, Brush. Whether your blow dry or not, make sure to brush the dog's hair afterward to keep matting to a minimum. (don't use combs to brush out your dog, it hurts)

Different coats will need different techniques to dry. A thick coat will require more drying and if you purchase a dryer for animals you will also get a few attachments to make this easier. Thin coats are easy to dry, but you do have to be more thoughtful of the temperature of the air as there is less fur covering the skin.
