Professional 3800W High Velocity Dog Hair Dryer - 5.2HP Pet Grooming Blower with Adjustable Speed & Temperature, 4 Nozzles for Quick Drying - Perfect for Home Pet Grooming, Dog Shows & Veterinary Clinics

My dog has a lot of long hair and loves to get wet, dirty and gross. Usually he dries okay from the rain or puddles with a a good rub down of old towels and then air drying. When the time comes that he needs a bath- which is more often than you'd think- I usually start playing the mental calculation game of how long it will take to dry him, do we really need to go through that, etc. He loves the bath and loves getting blow dried BUT it takes a solid 10 minutes to towel dry him (and let him snowplow all over the floor and roll around on his back). Then I have to get my personal hairdryer out and the brushes and prepare myself to sit there on the floor with him for at least 45 minutes of blow drying him only to achieve a state of "well- he's dry enough that he wont leave puddles where he lays and he won't soak the sofa when he walks by". My goal is to get him dry enough that he won't get hot spots and he he'll finish air drying a few hours later.One day we were were camping by a lake and a neighbor let their 2 Golden Retrievers (just as big and bushy as mine) out to swim. I felt like a terrible dog mom because I didn't let mine as I didn't want to deal with a sopping and soggy dog in an rv and probably my car the next day. With a smile and a shake of my head I told the couple that they were braver and better than me for letting their pups have fun in the water. The wife laughed and said, "nah we're just prepared!" With that they took out a dog dryer from the camper storage compartment, plugged it in and got to work. She told me that I didn't need to spend a fortune just look for the highest horsepower I could find in my price range and of course check the reviews. So I did and here I am- happy as a clam!I've had it a couple of weeks now and I've used it more than I ever thought I would! The first bath was wonderful and my dog was in about 30 minutes. I have to say it cuts down the drying time by at least 50% but probably more like 75% to that of my personal hairdryer. It's not discernibly louder, it is adjustable on blowing force and heat or no heat.The heat is probably equivalent to a human hairdryer on low-medium. It blows the water right off of him and it actually sprays the floor with water droplets. The best thing is that it gets so in there with the air that it makes it so easy to find random ticks that imbed deep into his undercoat.On night last my dog decided to stick his face into a new bag of cat food as we were unpacking and repacking groceries into the pantry. Before we could get to him I swear he mustve eaten a pound if he ate a bite. Well, that next night he ended up getting the worst upset stomach and number 2 (or is it number 3) episodes that required me to hose off his backside and wash him outside- I plugged this dryer in outside and he was dry in 10 minutes (only his hind quarters needed drying). It paid for itself that night.Anyway, I don't know why I waited so long to get one. It's so powerful I plan on also using it to blow all the dog hair out of my car with it. It comes with lots of attachments and is a super fair price for what you get.
