Instructions
Towel the dog dry and use a handheld dryer to blow out the excess water. The cage dryer is a finishing tool. It can't remove large amounts of water from a dog's coat.
Position the cage dryer on the dog's cage. You must position the dryer so that the air enters the cage, but not so high that the air blasts the dog in the eyes.
Choose a heat setting for the dog. Use low heat for a dog with short hair, or on warm days. Use high heat sparingly for longhaired breeds or use it to help chilled dogs warm up quickly. Unheated air is appropriate in most situations.
Consider using the heat feature to preheat an empty cage for the dog. Once you place the dog into the cage, turn the heat off and use the fan to dry the animal.
Adjust the fan setting. Use a low fan if you set the heater on low or high. Only use a high fan with unheated air to prevent heat-related injuries.
Set the timer on the cage dryer. You must check on the dog frequently, especially if you've engaged the heat on the dryer.
Use the cage dryer until the coat is barely damp. Some areas such as armpits and flanks may still be wet. You must hand dry and fluff these areas.
How to Use a Cage Dryer for Dogs
Groomers employ several types of hair dryers to dry dogs after a bath and fluff their coats. Cage dryers are convenient, as groomers with several clients or pet owners with multiple dogs can begin drying one dog while the next dog receives a bath.
