Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: A quick question.. ^^/// Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:22 pm | |
| I've looked through the fourm, I havent found a specific post for this.. Forgive me for maybe repeating this.
I know there are like 3 different brushes you should have. Can anybody recommend/link which ones to get from Petco. *I posted a link to the brushes/combs below.* <3
Also, about the high violocity dryer..? Can't you just use a regular blow dryer? Or is it something different..
Thanks in advance!

for the blowers there are a ton of threads on that. your blow dryer will have no effect. maybe a shop vac on blow or a air compressor would work about the same.... _________________ |

| Is it safe to use air compressors on the dog's coat? I don't know either way, so I'm just asking... |

| I'm not to sure either, but we have a "air gun" nozzle with a trigger on it. I suppose as long as you could control the air pressure coming out of it you should be fine. That's what I plan to do when Lucian starts blowing coat. |

| Not to high-jack the thread, but I use a pin brush and a slicker brush. Are these effective enough, or should I invest in better brushes?
And how does the deshedding blade work? |

| You could use an air compressor, but if you do then you'd have to be careful as it can be too forceful and potentially do harm to the dog. I have an air compressor but I would never feel comfortable using it to blow out undercoat on a dog. I'd rather spend a little extra to ensure my dogs' safety, but to each his own. _________________ |

| There is a risk using an air compressor and that is that it can be too forceful, causing an air embolus to develop under the skin or worse in the blood stream. There are many affordable options out there as far as high velocity driers go, I'd feel more comfortable using over an air compressor. The one I use is on the upper end but I always get the results I want and none of the noise the other models produce.
