Abstract: A pet dryer is set forth to retain and dry an animal. The dryer includes an inner shell spaced within an outer shell. At least one blower is provided and receives outside air from an inlet plenum defined between the shells. Each blower discharges the air past a heater to a discharge plenum also defined between the shells. Apertures admit the heated air from the discharge plenum into the inner shell for drying a pet. A door is provided for the inner shell having a vent to exhaust the air from the inner shell. A pet supporting grille is disposed above the apertured floor of the inner shell to keep such apertures unobstructed. A partition can also be provided to divide the inner shell to accomodate two pets.
