Reddit mentions of SHELANDY 3.2HP Stepless Adjustable Speed Pet Hair Force Dryer Dog Grooming Blower with Heater(Blue)

I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLQPJ58/


He isn't real fond of the noise but it isn't too loud and he tolerates it. The blower works really well at loosening up the deep fur and blowing it away.

I use:

• a low price velocity drier (well, it was cheaper when I bought it) that I use with heat after a bath, but also with no heat to blow out her fur during shedding months.
  
• a massaging, rubber brush like a Zoom Groom for in the bath which helps release a lot of the undercoat.
  
• a metal comb and large slicker brush. I have a furminator that I tried for a bit but I honestly think the slicker/comb works better for my GSD mix's coat.
  
• microfiber washcloth mitts that I get a little damp and then give her a rubdown with sometimes. The loose fur clings to the damp fabric and it helps if she's feeling like a dust bunny but I don't have time to brush her out.
  
• a really good vaccuum haha.
  
  My dog is similar to yours, she would be too anxious at a groomer for it to go well and not be traumatic, so we do everything at home. There are also deshedding shampoos out there but I haven't tried any yet.

So we actually got one of the blower/dryers on amazon that isn’t too bad for the price. We just used it a few days ago on both pups and my girl did surprisingly well with it considering it was our first time. That being said, we did stop when she started getting stressed but she seemed to like it on her chest, which became super fluffy. The only negative was the heat took forever to warm up but I guess that’s fine as she probably wouldn’t enjoy hot air on her. Should also mention she’s not as fluffy as yours but she is long haired. As for getting the rest of her dried, we just let the fans blow on her from a distance as well as pat down with a towel anywhere that was still wet. Hoping she’ll be more comfortable with the dryer soon.

As for baths, it’s usually a two person job for both of ours. We did start using peanut butter or kong fillers as a reward for them and a distraction. This has worked better with our guy who’s 8 months while our girl seems to prefer to get it done quickly and being told she’s a good girl with some kisses.

Brushing is definitely easier when they are dry or almost dry. With my girl, it’s like brushing her fur wet is like brushing a barbies hair wet: tedious and annoying and she doesn’t like it. We use both the undercoat rake and just a regular ol’ brush for her.

Dryer
That is the dryer we’ve bought and it’s worked for us so far. Oh we’ve also had to plug it to a surge protector and not directly to the wall outlet because otherwise it made a almost squealing noise when the nozzle was near the dryer. Other than that, it works fine.
