Hands Free Grooming Arm Print E-mail

GREAT FOR:

  • Puppies
  • Cats/Kittens
  • Nervous dogs
  • Dogs not used to grooming
  • Medium and Large dogs
  • Commercial Grooming Parlours
  • Breeders/Owners
  • Less experienced groomers

THE HFG IS:

  • Kinder for your pet (hands free reduces grooming time)
  • Adaptable (can be used with Force Dryers or Personal hairdryers)
  • Strong and durable (ideal for commercial grooming)
  • Inexpensive

Easy to use

  •  

HOW IT WORKS:

Just attach your Force or Personal dryer to the HFG and clamp it to your grooming table. Once attached, the HFG has been designed to allow you to move your dryer fully around the dog or cat you are grooming, easily positioning your dryer in place, leaving both hands free to hold and brush out your pet.

It is easy to use, but strong and durable making it ideal for commercial grooming parlours, while still being easy enough to use for less experienced groomers.

The ability to attach a quieter personal hairdryer makes it ideal for cats, puppies, and small, nervous or novice dogs, as you train them to get used to louder Force or Stand Dryers.

But its functionality doesn’t stop there. The length of the HFG means groomers can also comfortably reach around medium and large sized dogs, while still enjoying the convenience of hands free drying.

If you groom dogs whose furnishings or coat need straightened before scissoring, then the ability to use a personal hairdryer, with its higher heat setting, is also a major bonus.

Swapping between a Personal Dryer and Force Dryer with the HFG is also easy. The dryer cradle accommodates both types of dryers, and fits the majority of Personal Hairdryers.

The dryer cradle can also be attached to suit both left and right handed groomers.

Keeping your pet comfy while on the grooming table

Keeping your dog or cat comfortable while grooming can be a challenge, particularly if they have a big coat and require several hours on the table.

I use a baby's changing mat on my grooming table to ease the pressure on them, and lie them down while brushing or drying each side. Often they are so comfortable that they will go to sleep!

The changing mats are inexpensive and waterproof. You can often purchase them second-hand for a few dollars via on-line auction sites, or pick them up from garage/yard sales.

Once you've finished drying your dog, or need to trim their feet, just remove the changing mat and you have access to the flat surface of your grooming table. If you've got a particularly wiggly dog, who is likely to cause the mat to shift, you can easily attach (to the bottom of your changing mat) the rubber anti-skid material available to attach to floor rugs to stop them skidding.
