Product Overview

The Metrovac Air Force® Top Gun® Variable Speed Pet Dryer TG-3V is designed to dramatically reduce drying time while providing complete airflow control for safe, comfortable grooming. Its variable-speed operation allows groomers to begin drying nervous pets with lower airflow before increasing power as needed for thicker coats and faster drying.

Instead of using a heating element, the dryer produces warm, filtered air generated naturally by its powerful motor, helping dry coats efficiently while reducing the risk of excessive heat exposure.
