About Natural Volume Air Drying
Natural Air Volume Drying (NAVD) is the safest and
most efficient way to dry pets. It not only makes a
groomer's job easier, but is a safe, healthy alternative to
traditional heat drying methods.
NAVD delivers high volume, room temperature air to
speed water evaporation. The blast of ambient air lifts and
separates a dog's coat, resulting in fast drying times, fluffy
coats and happy pets.
NAVD is safer than traditional heat drying because pets
are not exposed to potentially dangerous heat levels.
Room temperature air ensures a less stressful
environment for drying pets.
The keys to faster, more effective pet drying are
airflow, dehumidification and temperature. NAVD takes
place when all three of these elements are in place.
Airflow speeds the drying process. The greater the
airflow, the faster pets dry.
Dehumidification, or creating a "dry zone" where
drying is being done is a critical element in speeding
the drying process. In an enclosed grooming area, the
bathing process releases moisture into the air. A
dehumidifier absorbs the humid air and returns it to
the environment as dry air. Fresh, dry air absorbs
more moisture, speeds evaporation and reduces
odors. Information about Dri-Eaz portable
dehumifidiers is available at www.Dri-Eaz.com.

Temperature is one of the most misunderstood
elements of the drying process. Too little heat slows
the drying process, but too much heat is unsafe for
pets and uncomfortable for groomers. Effective and
safe drying takes place in the presence of warm,
ambient air at an approximate temperature of 72–74°
F or 22–23° C. Pets feel comfortable in room
temperature air, and tend not to shy away as they do
from the high heat created by traditional dryers.
Warm, dry air keeps pets from getting chilled and
prevents hypothermia.
NAVD deeply penetrates a dog's wet coat. The ambient
temperature airflow is less harmful to a dog's coat and
skin than traditional heat drying which robs moisture from
the skin, leaving it red, flaky and hot to the touch. Faster
drying not only frees up more time for grooming, but it also
enhances working conditions for grooming technicians.
NAVD inhibits the growth of mold and mildew in grooming
areas, thereby reducing unpleasant musty odors.
NAVD helps groomers make the most efficient use of their
time, safely and effectively.
This document provides pet drying tips based on NAVD
principles using Dri-Eaz airmovers and accessories. With
proper care, Dri-Eaz equipment will provide years of
reliable effective pet drying, ensuring happy pets and
satisfied customers.
