Dog Drying Robe vs Towel: Which Is Better?

When your dog comes home looking like a mop that lost a fight with a puddle, what dries them best: a robe or a trusty towel? Let's settle it.

Speed. Microfibre drying robes soak up far more water than a standard towel and cover the whole body at once, so your dog dries faster with a lot less effort from you.

Hands free. A robe does the work while your dog mooches about, which means no wrestling match and no soggy dog making a break for the sofa mid dry.

Mess control. A robe traps the wet and mud against the fabric rather than letting your dog shake it across the walls. Your hallway will thank you.

When a towel will help. A microfibre mitt is brilliant for a quick paws and belly job by the door, or as a first wipe before the robe goes on. The two work beautifully together.

The verdict. For a proper post walk dry, a robe wins on speed and mess. For quick touch ups, keep a mitt handy too.
