Okay, so, I’ve got this dog, right? A big, fluffy golden retriever named Buddy. Bath time with Buddy is… well, it’s an event. He loves the water, hates the drying. And let me tell you, drying a dog that size is a workout. I used to spend ages with the towel and the hairdryer, and even then, he’d still be damp for hours. I was searching for a way that I can make my dog dry faster.
Then I stumbled upon this thing called a “fast dry spray for dogs.” Sounded too good to be true, but I was desperate. I did a little digging and found a few different brands. There’s one called “Bio-Groom” that kept popping up, and another one that claimed to cut drying time by 40%. Seemed worth a shot.
So, I ordered the Bio-Groom So-Quick spray. It arrived a few days later, and I was eager to try it out. The bottle says it’s a “detangler” and “smoothing,” which sounded like a bonus. Buddy was due for a bath anyway.
Bath time commenced. Shampoo, rinse, the usual chaos. Then, before I even reached for the towel, I sprayed him down with the Bio-Groom. I have to admit, I was skeptical. I started rubbing him down with the towel. And I started to notice something. He was drying… faster. Like, a lot faster.
The Results:
- Faster Drying Time: It wasn’t 50% faster, but it was definitely noticeable. Maybe 30-40% faster? I could tell because Buddy wasn’t shivering as much, and I wasn’t as tired.
- Softer Fur: The spray did make his fur feel softer and smoother. That was a nice surprise. It helped with brushing out some of those mats he gets behind his ears.
- Easier Grooming: I do think it helped detangle his fur a bit, and that’s not nothing when you’re talking about a big, fluffy dog.
- Smell: It says unscented, and it was.
I also heard that some people use vinegar. Apparently, it evaporates faster than water, and that can help speed up drying. Some groomers might use this method. I haven’t tried that yet, but maybe I will if I run out of this spray and need a quick fix.
My Takeaway:
This fast dry spray is a win in my book. It’s not magic, but it definitely makes bath time less of a chore. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Especially if you have a big, fluffy dog like my Buddy. Anything that makes that process easier is a lifesaver. I’m not sure how it works, but it does. So I’m going to keep using it.
I’ll probably try out that 40% faster one next time and see how it compares. But for now, I’m pretty happy with the Bio-Groom. If you’re tired of spending hours drying your dog, give it a try. You might be surprised.
