> If your dog is scared of a hairdryer, why not put him in the hairdryer?

Sounds like one way to emotionally scar the poor thing for life.

Personally I found it is mostly the noise that is a problem. We are using a fancy Dyson hairdryer for our dogs and it has made it a bit better.

It's a shame the dog dryer promotional videos don't actually show what it sounds like.

How many times do you wash your pet in order to having to put that huge machine in your house? A cat would need be washed very infrequently and a dog something like once a quarter. Maybe people tend to keep some others pets? Although the video just showed cats and dogs.

Millionaire dogs can afford to pamper themselves

Washing a dog/cat too often is not "pampering", it's causing harm to the animal. They need the natural oils for their skin and furs.

Surprised they just didn’t combine an automated washer with it to make it full service.
