    Can i ask why you are getting a Labrador groomed? They dont need regular grooming like a non shed breed does. They wouldnt need to be washed too often so maybe you dont need to buy a dryer.

    Also, dogs will just dry off fairly quickly so i wouldnt be rushing to get a dryer if its only for every now and again.

    I have a blaster drier for my rotties that wash regularly for showing, but even then i dont always use the blaster on them.

    OP, I just use my own hair dryer on my lab, a bit of that while brushing his coat and also letting him shake it off himself outside as that's much better for getting rid of loose hair sitting on his coat. I wouldn't be worrying about getting a dryer especially for the dog tbh.

    You can use parcel motel for any sellers that won't deliver to Ireland ;).... BUT I would be wary of getting what you pay for here - ie it's a knock off Aeolus blaster so may not last as long.
    I have an Aeolus blaster and use it all the time btw ;) He swims all the time and is a retriever so has a thick long coat - I would have thought a drying towel/fleece would do the job for a lab?

    EDIT - just saw your other posts about your mum not liking the smell :p
    I'd recommend Furminator waterless spray (you don't have to wash it off and smells lovely) and this double rake!

    The most common cause of a smelly dog is a smelly bed. Here we wash the beds regularly & the dogs don't smell. The dogs dry naturally on the very rare occasion that they are washed. A lab should easily be groomed/washed at home.
