Hugging a dripping wet dog is not always a good idea. Your dog will welcome a nice warm hug while wrapped in the comfort of a soft towel. The burrito wrap can make lifting your dog out of the tub easier and make him feel secure.

Blow Dry

Rushing to blow-dry the hair will result in drying out the nutrients before they have had the chance to penetrate, leaving the hair excessively dry and brittle and prone to breakage. Well-nurtured hair will also help keep the style in good shape much longer.

For dogs with short or medium-length coats with or without undercoat, such as Jack Russells or golden retrievers, a towel dry followed by a high-velocity hair dryer to dry and remove dead coat and undercoat is recommended. A high-velocity dryer, also known as a force-dryer, is one of the professional dog groomer’s secret weapons.

High-velocity dryers come in various shapes, sizes, and powers. Most high-velocity dryers are noisy. For nervous dogs, using cotton balls in the ears or wrapping a scarf or towel around the head to cover the ears will make them feel more at ease.

When using any kind of dryer, it is important to first turn it on pointing away from your dog to give him a few seconds to get used to the noise and then slowly approach the dog with the dryer.

When using a high-velocity dryer, it is important to sweep the water from the back of the head to the tail and down the sides to avoid rewetting areas that you have already dried. High-velocity dryers will get your dog almost dry. In summer months, a walk outside will be enough to completely dry his coat.
