As a Standard Poodle parent, keeping my pup's coat clean and well-maintained is a top priority. While regular baths and grooming are essential, there’s one tool that has become a game-changer in our routine: the force dryer. Originally purchased to dry Pharaby’s coat after baths, I’ve discovered so many other ways this device has made our lives easier. In this two-part series, I’ll share why a force dryer is a must-have for dog parents, especially those with high-maintenance coats like Pharaby’s.
1. Efficient Drying After Baths: The primary reason I got our force dryer was to speed up the drying process after Pharaby’s baths. With her thick, curly coat, air drying takes forever, and towel drying isn't nearly as effective. The force dryer cuts drying time in half, ensuring she’s comfortable and dry much faster.
2. Daily Maintenance and Cleanup: One unexpected benefit is how great the force dryer is for daily cleanup, especially when the grass starts dying off in the fall. We used to struggle with tracking in dead grass and debris, but now a quick session with the force dryer removes all of it from Pharaby’s coat before we come inside. No more mess on the floors!
3. Inspecting for Fleas and Ticks: Summer can be a stressful time with the fear of fleas and ticks. While preventatives are essential, using the force dryer allows me to see down to Pharaby’s skin, providing extra peace of mind that she’s free from these pests. It’s a quick, thorough way to check for anything unusual.
These are just a few of the reasons why our force dryer has become an indispensable tool in our grooming routine. Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll share even more ways this device has simplified our lives and helped us keep Pharaby looking her best!
If you’re considering adding a force dryer to your grooming routine, I highly recommend the one I use for Pharaby. It’s powerful, efficient, and has made a world of difference in keeping Pharaby’s coat looking pristine. Whether you’re dealing with thick fur, shedding season, or just want to keep your dog’s coat clean between baths, this force dryer is a must-have! We have had this one since October 2019 & I still love it!
