If you've been reading my posts, I have been consistent over the years that owners purchase and learn how to use professional quality grooming tools. They are more efficient, last longer, and are purpose made. Let's say you own a breed that requires regular professional grooming, you should maintain your dog's coat in between professional grooming appointments.
Why? Because if you do the maintenance: 1.) your dog will be more comfortable; dogs feel better when properly groomed and clean; 2.) you can prevent painful mats; 3.) you can closely inspect your dog's coat for tangles, burrs, injuries, and parasites; 4.) your dog can become more amenable to regular grooming and the tools that will be used... so long as you are patient and kind to your dog; 5.) You can keep your dog's nails from getting too long; 6.) You can do regular teeth cleaning; 7.) If you know what you are doing, you can express your dog's anal glands when necessary; 8.) You can clip back facial hair so it doesn't interfere with your dog's binocular vision; and 9.) Your groomer won't have to charge you as much since you're making their job easier.
In this post, I'm recommending that you get a High Velocity Pet Grooming Hair Dryer. Human dryers are to hot and can burn your dog. The professional ones won't. Plus the long hose is to distance the machine from the dog so that it is less stressful for your dog. Plus, it is easier to regularly blow out the undercoat so that you have fewer dust bunnies floating around the house.
