Dryer for Pets {Dryer for Fet}

The present invention relates to a drying apparatus for companion animals, and more particularly, to a drying apparatus for companion animals that can simultaneously perform a drying operation of a companion animal's hair and an operation of evenly combing the hair with a simple structure.

Today, the number of single-person or two-person households is rapidly increasing as the number of nuclear families continues to take place due to changes in social and economic conditions, coupled with factors such as low fertility and aging, and the number of households with companion animals is also rapidly increasing due to psychological and emotional factors. are doing These companion animals are mainly dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, insects, and other small animals, and in particular, dogs and cats occupy an overwhelmingly high proportion of breeding.

On the other hand, antigens that cause allergies in dogs and cats most commonly contacted as companion animals are found in blood, urine, and saliva, but the strongest is known to exist in dandruff falling from the skin. However, when an animal licks the fur, saliva sticks to the fur and acts as a cause together with the fur. Bathing the animal is known to remove such saliva and dandruff.

Therefore, in order for a hairy companion animal to live indoors with humans, it is necessary to frequently bathe the companion animal to remove bacteria, mites, dandruff, and dust contained in the fur, and to keep the surroundings clean at all times.

In general, a method of bathing a pet with hair is to fill the bathtub with bath water and use soap to bathe it, or to bathe it with a shower or the like. Also, after bathing the pet, the pet's fur has a lot of moisture or moisture on it or is absorbed. Remove it using a dryer that generates hot air.

In addition, after bathing the pet, a brush is used in parallel to dry the pet's fur. The reason is that it is often used as a drying method for pet hair for quick drying by loosening wet hair and for grooming (grooming). Alternatively, after drying the hair, it is necessary to separately comb it with a brush to organize the hair.

Accordingly, in recent years, hair dryers have been developed that can dry and straighten hair at the same time, but most of them have separate dryers and brushes, so the structure is complicated, and the drying process and combing process are complicated. Since each process has to be performed separately, there is a problem that it takes a long time.
