Maltese GROOMING: Uppity-Do-Dah Hairstyles
Many people had requested a video showing you how we put up Cosette’s hair for the Black and White photo.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to NEVER include any of the EAR LEATHER when doing any type of hairstyles. We ALWAYS check to ensure that ZERO SKIN is in any tied up hair, therefore only HAIR is banded.
The necklaces, and some of the hair accessories are sold in our MOBLING store.
Thank you and Happy Grooming!

I’m a KOOOOOOOOL PUP!
Kool pup dryer for Maltese Obsession Pack! ~
 |
| Welcome to my ‘Blow Out Bar’! |
Chris Christensen makes one of the better dryers for home and pet grooming. I will compare the ‘Kool Pup’ with a pretty sub-standard ‘pet dryer’ that I am sad that I spent money on.
 |
| I am SMILING at you!!!! |
The one thing I have learned over the years is that ‘YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR’, although this isn’t always true….but it proved true for dog dryers that I chose.
KOOL PUP is currently 25% off! I paid full price == it really is a great deal!
Drying the dogs with a human hair dryer never worked very well for me. The COOL air was always TOO COLD and the HOT was TOO HOT. Not to mention how awkward it is to try and dry a dog when I only have two hands with a clunky hair dryer in one hand. THE FORCE of the air was always toooooo weak to ever dry the ears completely.

Years ago I cheaped out and spent $100 on a Metro Air Dryer. Three tries and I never touched it again until I had to dig it out for this review (WASTE). $100 was a LOT of money to spend on a dog hair dryer in my mind. This ORANGE thing was LOUD and the tank get HOT HOT HOT and the air is TOO HOT and the tank is UNSTABLE.
The cord was sooooo short that the dryer had to sit right next to the dog in order to reach, which makes it feel like both of us are in the middle of a hurricane! The orange canister on this ‘thing’ gets super hot as well…clunky…hot….oh dear…

When I fell in love with the Maltese breed 5 years ago, I became consumed and ‘obsessed’ with everything maltese. I dragged my kids to every AKC dog show and every grooming show that came near us. It was at one of these dog shows that I was introduced to the Chris Chistensen KOOL PUP dog dryer, along with many of their other products.
The benefit of visiting dog shows and in particular ‘Grooming Shows’ is that many of the pet industry vendors will have booths for you to visit. You can touch and feel many products that are available to us and even NEWER products that haven’t yet been released to the public yet. Pet shows are amazingly fun to visit.

| See how long the hose is on the Kool Pup? Hi Dolce! |
The Kool Pup just recently went on sale for $220, which makes this a good time to splurge if you have multiple dogs like I do. I paid $325 for it at the show, but was lucky to have received quite a few gifts along with my purchase.
Thanks to our grooming obsessed friends on Spoiled Maltese forum for alerting our SM community that this Kool Tool was on SALE SALE SALE! Never has it been priced this low. I might have to get another for the human girls in my home!
The added ‘HOLD A HOSE’ flexible extra arm, that can be used with the dryer to allow a hands free drying, is currently $85. The dryer can be used without the arm, but I have to say that the extra arm comes in really handy if you can make the splurge.
This dryer comes in some pretty cool colors and is very small for the amount of air that is forced through it. The hose on the Kool Pup is plenty long enough that I place the actual dryer as far away as I can from the grooming table, in order to help with the reduction of noise for my dogs.
The force of the air on the dryer is quite strong and will reduct the drying time of your dog significantly. You’ll notice in the VIDEO TUTORIAL, that I had to ‘batten down the hatches’ and cover my grooming supplies, so that I wouldn’t have top knot bands flying all over!
The air temperature coming from the dryer will warm up after a few minutes of running on FULL POWER.
 |
| Currently $220 for the Kool Pup on sale from $325…thanks for the heads up on the sale SM friends The ‘LOUDNESS’ factor plays a role when drying our maltese. The scientific and R&D side of my brain wanted to measure and compare the decibel levels.
|
 |
| Decibel Level for Hair Dryer 98-99 |
 |
| Decibel Level for Metro Air 107-108 |
I used an app on my iPad to measure decibel levels relative to the hair dryer, the metro force and the Kool Pup. These levels can vary depending on how the decibel meter is calibrated.
 |
| Kool Pup Decibel Level on HIGHEST is 80 |
 |
| Kool Pup Decibel Level on MID LEVEL was 75 |
 |
| Kool Pup on Lower Setting was 68, but I NEVER use it this low as the air comes out too cool on the lowest setting |
The number one complaint heard about the Kool Pup dryer is that the air is not warm enough. This force dryer pushes the ambient air in your room and does warm it slightly. The fact that the air doesn’t get too warm, makes it amazingly safe to use on our dogs. On cold winter days when the dogs are really cold after a bath, I will ‘FEED’ the Kool Pup warm air by facing a warm hair dryer towards the vent of the Kool Pup. This allows the Kool Pup to push a ‘warmer then ambient’ temperature out to my cold dog.
My GO TO GROOMING TOOL(s) GTGT that I use when blow drying my dog are the CC wooden pin brush and the Madan pin brush. The CC FUSION brush is brass plated and is not meant to be used on a wet coat NOR with any types of sprays and solvent.
When the dog is wet it is more pleasant for your dog if you brush out with the CC Wooden pin brush. As the dogs becomes dryer, you can switch over to the Madan pin brush in order to fully straighten the hair.
 |
| Dolce says YUCK to any other dryer! |
The video tutorial will show how straight Dolce’s fur becomes after using the Kool Pup. If I didn’t dry her with this amazing little dryer, her hair would be pretty WAVY and CLUMPY. You can see her natural wavy hair in the beginning of the video.
This battle of the dog dryers was a ‘BLOW OUT’!
