Is this dryer good for a long hair dog? Which nozzle is best for long hair and how do you dry to prevent matting?

this dryer is great for long or short hair dogs. It has a lot of power but is quieter then most dryers so it does not frighten the dogs. Use a conditioner after shampooing and brush out either with fingers or brush to remove or avoid matting.

What kind of dogs do you have? We have golden retriever and show dogs, is fairly quiet and does a good job but does take longer to blow them dry than our K9 dryer which is very powerful but takes lots of power electric to use

I have a Husky which is a long hair dog. I bought the Fur deshedder for long hair. The one you are asking about I have not used. It is for short hair. I would go with the short hair since great Danes are short hair. I am sure the blades are different.

For us this one worked pretty good for pet hair. We have a black terrier who leaves a lot of hair on our beige carpet. We can definitely notice a big difference going over it with our DC23

I have this hair dryer. I, also, have thick coarse hair, which is mid back length. LOVE this hair dryer. Best one I've owned! I have not tried the Ionic feature, but this is the hair dryer used at one of the best blow out salons in the Twin Cities!

The nozzle works well with the hair my dogs have which is quite long (3-6") , white and fine. Bags need to be changed often!

This tool is better for long hair, I suggest another brush, which is more suitable for Jack Russel Terrier. In addition, you do not need another brush. Here is the link the another brush: MIU COLOR® Pet Grooming Brush Large Deshedding Tool with 4-inch Edge for Short Hair and Long Hair Dogs/Cats, Effectively Reduces Shedding By Up To 90% (Yellow)

I don't yave a dog right now but I might be getting one soon. I'll update then if I do. But I think it would do great because my friends hair was about 3-4 ft long and it picked hers up fantasticly. The only trouble I had was that after my whole apartment I had to cut some off the brush roller but not much and dog hair isn't as long as that. You probably will have to empty the canister more often than I do because the extra hair.

You are very welcome! In opinion. .it is well worth it.On my longer haired dogs my trimmer takes a beating.it has gotten put knots & tangles.In fact, my pld one would have been stillcworking if it were not that my older dog Charlottle gets so messy, and had a really bad tangle that took awhile and it finally gave our after a year and a half.Like I said, I am rough on the trimmer.It should last aclot longer.Tge second one I have is over a year and still in great condition.It is lightweight& fits easy in your hand.If the blade gets too warm...stop ut for a few mins.and wipediwn w/a cotton ball (not soaked) of alcohol. I hope they never stop making this trimmer! :) You are very welcome!

Yes but not as well as a higher velocity dryer. I use the above dryet for a couple of Goldens I groom and it does okay. I also use Furminator Shampoo and Conditioner.

I use my FURminator as brushes and as de-shedding tools. I have small FURminators for my 2 small dogs and large ones for the 2 long-haired large dogs. If your small dog has short hair be sure a get the brush for short hair. My dogs truly enjoy their "FURminator time"; I use a small dog, short hair one on my Jack Russell terrier, a small dog long hair brush on my Shitzu , and large dog long hair FURminators on my Chow/Lab mixes. I believe the FURminators are well worth the money.

Yes, the Pet Grooming Hair Dryer is a forced air dryer, not just a regular hair dryer that circulates air. If your dog has a think coat or undercoat, it will help blow the water from the roots out and your dog will dry faster. It is louder than a normal hair dryer, so it may scare your dog at first. Start at the hind end and slowly work forward.

I also have big dogs, Goldens. In my opinion this dryer would be too strong forLittle Yorkies. You cannot adjust it low enough I don't think. I have friends with small dogs. & would be happy to ask them what they use. Can you use a hand held dryer on cool ? Some of them are not too loud.

I would not purchase this dryer again. Too long, not enough settings, tends to make my hair frizzy. Does dry fast. Hopes this helps.

I have long curly hair and I use the high setting. This one isn't very hot or powerful compared to dryers I've used in the past.

This works with long hair, but it will take some patience. You can simply (manually) rotate the brushes while the dryer is on to create large curls or flips.
