Border Collie
No more spraying the house
Wonderful robe! Size L fitted my Border Collie, back length 53cm. It absorbs moisture well after a bath and the dog doesn't spray it round the house. Recommended.

Dog Microfibre Drying Robe
Wrap them up. Skip the towel wrestling.
Microfibre holds many times its own weight in water, so it draws moisture out of a coat rather than pushing it around. The robe stays on, which is the part a towel cannot do.

Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
Faster than towelling
A robe holds absorbent fabric against the whole coat at once, so a dog that took twenty minutes of rubbing is damp dry in a few.
Saves the house
Most of the mess after a bath or a wet walk comes from shaking. Wrapped up, that water goes into the robe rather than up your walls.
Warm while they dry
Short coated and older dogs get cold quickly when wet. The robe keeps body heat in through the part of the process they like least.
Good fit if
- Double coated dogs that stay damp for hours
- Dogs that swim, or walks that end in a river
- After baths, instead of a wrestling match with a towel
- Cars, where a wet dog otherwise soaks the seats
Look elsewhere if
- Your dog is short coated and dries in minutes anyway
- You would leave it on unsupervised, which is not advisable
- You want something waterproof for walking in the rain
Why microfibre beats a towel
A cotton towel absorbs a certain amount and then simply moves water around, which is why drying a soaked dog takes three of them. Microfibre has vastly more surface area per gram, so it holds several times its own weight and keeps wicking after a towel has given up.
The difference is most obvious on a double coat. The undercoat holds water against the skin where a towel never reaches, and a dog that looks dry on the surface can still be wet underneath for hours. Sustained contact from a robe pulls that moisture outwards steadily rather than in one rub.
Contact time is the mechanism
This is really the argument for a robe over a towel. A towel is in contact for as long as you are rubbing, which is a minute or two. A robe stays on for twenty minutes while the dog wanders about, and drying is a function of time in contact as much as material.
It also contains the dog. A wet dog released into the house shakes in the hallway, rubs along the sofa and rolls on the carpet, and most of the water ends up in your home rather than on any towel. Belly straps keep the robe on through all of that, which is the practical difference.
Fit and getting it accepted
Measure back length from the base of the collar to the base of the tail. The robe should cover the back and flanks, clear the shoulders so the dog can walk normally, and stop before the back legs. Belly straps want to be snug enough that it does not rotate, with room for a flat hand underneath.
Introduce it dry, before you need it. A dog that has never worn anything and is presented with a robe while cold and wet will fight it, and that first impression is hard to undo. Two or three short indoor sessions with something good to eat is usually all it takes.

Washing and drying
Wash it on a cool cycle with no fabric softener. Softener coats microfibre fibres and destroys the wicking action entirely, which is the one thing that makes the robe work; a softened robe is just an expensive fleece. Wash it separately from towels and cotton, since microfibre picks up lint aggressively.
Air dry rather than tumbling, and make sure it is completely dry before it is folded away. A robe stored damp goes musty fast, and the smell transfers straight onto the next wet dog you put it on. Hang it over a rail rather than folding it into a cupboard after use.

Sizing
Very absorbent, size up
Very absorbent and comfortable, and I don't have the dog under a towel for half an hour. The only snag is I got the size wrong. The XS is a bit small.

Bought a second one
The dog's bathrobe fits exactly. I'd ordered once before. This time I ordered for my daughter's dog, a Labrador, and it fits too.

Flatcoat retriever
Straight off the beach into it
We swim most weekends and the car used to smell of wet dog until Tuesday. Now he goes into the robe at the boot, the straps do up under his chest and belly, and by the time we are home he is damp rather than soaking.

Sizing runs long, measure the back
I went by weight rather than measuring his back length and the first one hung well past his tail. Once I swapped it fits properly and it pulls most of the water out of him in about ten minutes. Do measure first.

The shaking stopped being a problem
Our hallway used to get redecorated every time she had a bath. Wrapped up she still shakes but the water goes into the fabric instead of up the walls and across the radiator.

Elderly whippet
Old boy stays warm in it
He is fourteen and short coated, and he used to shiver for half an hour after a wash. In the robe he settles on his bed and dries there instead. That on its own was worth it.

Belly strap needs a firm pull
Thick microfibre and it does soak up a surprising amount. The belly strap works loose on her if she has a proper roll on the carpet, so I fasten it tighter than feels necessary to begin with.

Washes and dries fast itself
Straight into the machine after a muddy week and it is dry again by the next morning, which matters when it is the only one you own. No matting or bobbling after several washes.

Good questions
Before you buy
Measure along the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Size up if your dog is between two. A slightly loose robe still dries well.
Keep an eye on them while it is on, especially with a dog that chews fabric. It is a drying tool, not a coat to leave on for hours.
Measure the back from the base of the collar to the base of the tail. It should cover the back and flanks, clear the shoulders and stop before the back legs.
No. Straps can catch on furniture and a bored dog may chew it. Take it off once the coat is dry, and never leave a dog in one in a crate.
Yes, and that is where it works best. Give the dog a quick rub first to take off the surface water, then put the robe on and let contact time do the rest.
