Keep water from getting up the nose, into the ears and keep all grooming products out of your pets' eyes ... even those labeled "tearless".  Your pet's skin is sensitive. Grooming products must be specifically formulated to meet the correct ph levels and although blow drying is a necessary and beneficial part of the grooming process -- and imperative for longhaired breeds -- human hair dryers are a danger. Dryers especially designed for pet use are the better choice to protect your pet's skin and coat with controlled heat settings. Here are some practical options and more "good things".

Andis® QuietAire Dryer This is the better choice than using your own appliance to blow dry your pet. Temperature settings on yours are too hot for pets' sensitive skin ... and having both hands free to get the job done efficiently and well is great! This 1875-watt dryer is designed with twin fans and unique noise reduction channels so it won't startle pets or make them nervous. Three levels of powerful, cool airflow dry the coat without burning pets' sensitive skin or causing them to overheat. Includes a rotating stand for hands-free convenience. A 9-foot cord provides added flexibility and mobility. Andis® QuietAire Dryer with Stand Ships Direct Subtotal: $29.99 Sales Tax (7.0%): $2.73 Shipping: $8.95 Grand Total: $41.67 ALWAYS SELECT THE BEST GROOMING TOOLS FOR THE BEST RESULTS #1 All Systems is the leader for the best Metal Combs such as these The Ultimate Metal Comb hand made from its non-slip handle to extra smooth teeth is constructed of brass and steel and beautifully finished in nickel that won't wear off. The #1 All Systems Ultimate Metal Comb is 7.5" long with teeth spaced 11 per inch on one half and 8 per inch on the other - Medium/Coarse. The Perfect Poodle Comb is the most ideal lightweight finishing comb. This 9.5 inch long comb is handmade from brass/steel and chromeplated. Teeth are all evenly spaced and the handsome chromeplated finish will not wear off unlike other leading brands. The Fabulous De-Matting Comb might just be the very last de-matting tool that you ever buy. Best of all, you'll obliterate mats while minimizing damage to the coat. This fabulous comb has super smooth pins evenly spaced. It is constructed from the most durable, rust resistant steel available. #1 ALL SYSTEMS COMBS Brushing is the foundation for all grooming.  It stimulates the skin and removes dead hair from the coat before it mats. Using the proper brush stroke with a grooming mist is essential. Light misting with a #1 All Systems grooming mist protects the hair, facilitates thorough brushing and helps prevent damage and breakage.

The Pet Suitcase Crate


We like this crate for lots of reasons. It's sturdy. The door secures with 5 "catches" plus the unique slider latch. The unique way this crate folds in on itself is very clever. It's perfect for places where you have minimum room to set up. Another feature we like is the unique pan release mechanism. The black plastic pan stays put which will make it nearly impossible for your dog to slide the pan out. This crate comes in a Chrome Plated wire. The #1 choice of professional dog breeders and show enthusiasts. This fully assembled cage pops-up in seconds and collapses to require minimal space for storage. Features
leak-proof plastic pan, seven-point locking door and convenient carry handle. Offered in a variety of sizes.
