Towelling dog drying coat
Dogrobes® dog drying coats are the original towelling drying coat for dogs, trusted by professionals since 2004. They avoid the use of Velcro which can catch in fur and longer ears, ultimately fills with fur, becoming less effective and snags on the coat during washing.
The drying coats are easy to fit after outdoor adventures, swimming, training, bathing or working. Designed to hang over the hindquarters and dry the back legs. They provide excellent warmth and comfort and are not just for wet dogs. The robes slip on and offset ties ensure superb coverage of underbelly and a snug fit for a simple, secure fit.
Dog robes dry quickly for re-use. Wash at 40° C (no Velcro to snag). Tumble dry on low.
Made in Britain from an innovative towelling fabric exclusive to Dogrobes®: 80% cotton, 20% polyester.
Why do I need a dog robe?
Wet fur is a poor insulator. Shaking does not remove all the moisture. Longer loops on the inside of this innovative fabric quickly wick away moisture and trap air and body heat to maintain the dog's body temperature and keep muscles warm. Ensuring your dog is warm and dry, particularly after exercise, reduces muscle stress, tension and injury. Older dogs with arthritis or joint issues will benefit significantly from the rapid drying and heat retention effect of these drying coats. If your dog likes to swim regardless of the outside temperature, these drying coats are a must.
Ideal for the journey home in the car after a wet, muddy walk, keeping your dog warm, drying them off and protecting the inside of the car all at the same time.
At home, when you come in from a wet walk, what happens before you can get the towel out – the wet, muddy shake. Popping the robe on immediately starts the drying process and protects surrounds from the shake off and subsequent dripping, wiping on rugs and the sofa!
