Dryer for kitties :)

NJgroomer · 06-10-2011, 09:45 PM

Hi guys! I'm a cat (and dog haha) groomer in NJ, certified with the National Cat Groomers Institute (Certified Feline Master Groomer) and the International Society of Canine Cosmetologists (Dermatech certification and 80% done my Master Pet Stylist exams).

I wanted to share these pictures of my brand new dryer made especially for cats. I know it looks a bit strange, out of a sci-fi movie even, but the company who makes it spent a lot of time making sure it was completely safe for cats (and small dogs too). The left side hose is a vacuum that collects the dead hair flying around, as well as making sure there is plenty of air circulation. I've used one for a few weeks when I was at cat school and even after using it all day, it never got the least bit warm inside. On the right side is the hose/nozzle for the dryer. While inside, cats can walk around freely since they are not restrained in any way. If I need to do some extra combing or dematting, I can put the dryer nozzle in the clamp so I have both hands to handle and comb kitty

Mine finally arrived today and I can't wait till Thursday for my cat appointments!

The pictures are:
#1: my brand spankin' new dryer!
#2: me using one at cat school, this kitty was just relaxing while getting her blow dry

#3: kitty all finished after groom, so soft and silky!

Haha, that looks pretty cool. Kinda like the cat washer (only doesnt make the cat quite as grumpy

)

That is very cool and much easier on the cats...and groomers...I bet.

That dryer looks fantastic. Often it's the noise that really bothers the cats, tho this one looks like it's quieter with the motor underneath?
