Dryers

[ludo]

Hi Ginny B - Some of them are really noisy so it would be worth checking with the supplier - ours is very noisy but luckily the Daxlet  is very chilled about being groomed - he usually nods off but not when the blaster is going 

thanks Ludo. I hope she'll be ok on Monday, she is booked in for her first ever grooming session 
It's a mobile groomer who was recommended by my vet's surgery so I hope they are good. I worry after reading so many horror stories on here. Do you go in the van with them or just wait to be presented with the finished article? I've told him I don't want her clipped and he said she was too young for that anyhow

I stay with Dax when he is groomed - I trust my groomer he is great but its reassuring for the dog if you are there I feel and he is teaching me what to do at the same time so we are all happy    You might consider having a chat with the groomer about it before you get there and say you would like to stay for the first time and see how you get on from there    I'm sure you will be fine as the vet has recommended her.

We have DOUBLE "K" CHALLENGAIR 850XL

Its fantastic and drys them really fast this one is powerful as well so you have to hold on to them or they are off 

I bought a Double "K" from the same people.  They are not cheap but you get what you pay for.  Mine was about £220 but then I thought if Mundy gets use out of it for 14 - 17 years it is not expensive.  You do have to introduce the dog to these dryers very carefully.  As has already been suggested you could blow you dog off the table at full power and that is very true.  He loves it now and runs to the garage to be dried after his wash.  If you have more than one dog the machine comes with a cage attachment so you can be drying one while washing No.2.  I even take it with me when he and I go away for week ends.
