Pit Bull Mix Hates Hair Dryer in Viral Video

A viral TikTok video has recently shed light on a common, yet potentially harmful practice when it comes to our furry companions. In the video, posted by Nico Ramos (@nicoxramos) and viewed by over 1.7 million people, he dries his American bully pit mix with a human hair dryer, much to the dog’s visible discomfort. The caption humorously reads, “Someone hates the blow dryer.”

It’s no secret that dogs love to roll in all sorts of unsavory things. When that happens, a bath becomes a necessity. But post-bath, getting your canine friend dry quickly is crucial to avoid damp spots and a house full of dog hair. While the hair dryer might seem like the obvious choice, using a human hair dryer on your dog could do more harm than good.

According to Canadian dog groomers at Furever Clean, “Human hair dryers may seem like a good idea, but can actually harm your pet.” Dogs have thinner skin than humans, making them more susceptible to burns if the temperature is set too high. When using a regular hair dryer, there’s also the risk of your dog experiencing discomfort without being able to communicate their pain effectively.

Furever Clean suggests a safer approach to drying your dog. Begin by towel drying your pet gently, avoiding vigorous rubbing, which could irritate their skin. This initial step helps to remove excess moisture and is generally safer than exposing your dog to the intense heat of a human hair dryer.

To ensure your dog’s comfort and safety, it’s advisable to use a pet-specific dryer with lower heat settings designed for canine use. This way, you can protect your furry friend from potential harm while keeping them dry and comfortable. Remember, your dog can’t tell you when they’re in pain, so it’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being, even during something as routine as drying them off after a bath.
