ABSTRACT:
A pet cage dryer comprising a cage and a fan assembly mounted thereon for drying the wet coat of a pet animal housed inside the cage. In use, the fan assembly directs a high volume of ambient temperature air across substantially the entire interior region of the cage such that the air dries substantially every surface of the pet's coat at the same time. As a result, the pet cage dryer is able to dry the pet's coat in a relatively short period of time without the use of heated air and without any manual intervention on the part of a groomer during the drying process.
