Steps for bathing and blow-drying your dog

Before drying your dog, you should use a towel to absorb the excess water and then blow-dry it. When blowing a dog's hair, the operation will be different according to different dog breeds. For example, long-haired dogs such as Maltese, Shih Tzu, and Yorkshire terrier need to be dried along the hair pattern, while curly-haired dogs such as Poodles and Bichons need to be dried. Blow-dry against the hair's tendency.
During the blowing process, the hair dryer should not be too close to the coat. It needs to be kept at a distance of more than 20cm. At the same time, use a comb to comb the hair being dried. When blow-drying facial hair, keep a longer distance to avoid blowing directly from the face, and cover the dog's eyes with your hands to prevent the dog from becoming frightened by the direct contact of hot air with the eyes.
