Anyone out there have any suggestions? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? 
Thanks! Laurie and One Hot Dog, Oscar |

| Most grooming dryers don't have separate heating elements, they use the heat generated by the dryer motor. This is how the Metro Quick Draw works. I have a Metro 4hp portable dryer and it works the same way, doesn't get hot but is comfortably warm and doesn't dry out the coat.
If I had to do it over again I'd probably buy a Double K Challengair because the plastic housing is more durable than the metal. Also more expensive  |
Why not just use a human blow dryer with a cold setting? I am assuming you won't be bathing all that much while travelling and some of the human portable dryers fold up for easy packing. I have one and it has a cold setting a warm setting and of course a hot setting. Couldn't you use the cold setting so as not to burn? Or am I just plain dumb  |

Not at all! It just takes forever to dry an OES with a small dryer. Actually, it takes almost that long with a large groomer's dryer! Since the Metro dryer was being considered, I (perhaps wrongfully) assumed that a dryer with more power was needed. |
| Thanks for the info. Yes, I am looking for something with more power than a human blow dryer. That's what I've used in years past, and it takes foorrrrrrrrreeeeevvvvveerrrr..........................
We will be traveling for two months, and Oscar gets a full bath at least every two weeks, plus at least two mini baths a week. Thanks for the recommendations. Laurie |

I am curious why Oscar needs to be bathed so often? |

Maybe Oscar is related to this OES???

| I know Oscar is one with alot of allergy and skin problems. I am thinking keeping him clean helps him stay healthy I think they also keep him short for this reason.
Found this: Quote: Oscar gets a full bath every two weeks, and a partial bath (face, behind, paws and "undercarraige" ) twice a week. I think that Oscar has overactive sebaceous (sp?) glands, as he gets pretty oily on his back at about the two week mark. Our first sheepie, Quincy, was not this high maintenance. He got a full bath about once a month. |
| I have one called the Superduck 1400, it's pretty light and good for traveling. |
| Ha!!!!! Love the picture, Nita!!!!
Oscar actually stays fairly clean, it's just that his skin gets oily, and as Amanda mentioned, he has allergies. I find that bathing him every two weeks keeps all of his skin troubles down to a dull roar, without drying him out. I will check into the SuperDuck as well. Thanks! Laurie |
