Microfiber Dog Towel with Hand Pockets

Description

Drying a wet dog with a bath towel is a wrestling match. The towel slips off, your dog shakes, and the water you meant to catch ends up on the walls. By the time you have the towel back in place, they have escaped to the sofa.

This microfiber dog towel has a pocket at each end. Slide your hands in, wrap the towel around your dog and rub. The towel stays on your hands instead of on the floor. The chenille microfiber soaks water out of the coat, so your dog is damp, not dripping, before they reach the furniture.

Purpose: a dog drying towel that stays in your hands

The problem with a normal towel is grip. You need one hand to hold your dog and one to hold the towel, and neither works well. As soon as your dog shakes, the towel falls and the wet dog runs.

The hand pockets solve the grip. Both hands go inside the towel, so you can hold your dog and dry them in the same movement. The towel moves with your hands instead of sliding off a wet back.

Why microfiber dries faster than cotton

Chenille microfiber has thick, looped fibres with a large surface. It pulls water out of the coat rather than pushing it around. You get more water out in fewer rubs, which matters when your dog is already trying to leave.

Materials & make: how the hand-pocket towel works

The towel is polyester and nylon chenille microfiber. A pocket is stitched into each end, and a loop lets you hang it by the door to dry between walks.

1. Slide one hand into each pocket.
2. Lay the middle of the towel over your dog’s back.
3. Rub along the coat, then underneath the chest and belly.
4. Finish with the legs and paws, one at a time.

For a small dog or a cat, wrap the towel around them like a coat for a minute. It keeps soaking up water while they settle.

Three colours

Grey, purple or blue. Grey hides muddy marks between washes. Purple and blue are easy to spot in a pile of laundry.

Fit: which dogs the drying towel suits

Sizing: One size, about 60 × 22 cm (23.6 × 8.7 in). It works for small and medium dogs and cats. Use two towels for large breeds.

Good matches

• Small and medium dogs after a rainy walk or a bath
• Cats who need a quick dry after a bath
• Dogs who will not stand still for a big bath towel

Large dogs

On a large dog, one towel covers part of the back at a time. Two towels speed things up: dry the top with the first and the legs with the second. A towel that has soaked up a lot of water works better after you wring it out halfway through.

Use it with

Muddy paws need more than a towel. Rinse the paws first, then dry the coat with the towel. Our deshedding without a full bath guide covers coat care between baths.

The day it is for

The rain started halfway round the park. Your dog is soaked through and ready to shake all over the hallway. You grab the towel from its hook, slide your hands in and wrap them up before the first shake. Two minutes of rubbing later, they walk to their bed damp instead of dripping, and the walls stay dry.

Bath day works the same way. Lift your dog out of the tub straight into the towel with your hands in the pockets. Most of the water stays in the bathroom.

Care

• Shake out loose fur and dirt before washing.
• Machine wash at a low temperature with mild detergent.
• Skip fabric softener; it coats the fibres and reduces absorbency.
• Air dry or tumble dry on low, then hang it by the door.

Questions about the dog drying towel

Is a microfiber towel better than a normal towel for dogs?

For drying, yes. Chenille microfiber has thick, looped fibres that pull water out of the coat quickly. The hand pockets also keep the towel on your hands, so it does not slip off when your dog shakes.

Is one towel big enough for my dog?

One towel, about 60 × 22 cm (23.6 × 8.7 in), suits small and medium dogs and cats. For large breeds, use two towels: one for the back and one for the legs and belly.

Can I use it on a cat?

Yes. It is soft and light, and you can wrap a cat in it for a minute while it soaks up water. Keep the session short and calm.

How do I wash a microfiber dog towel?

Machine wash it at a low temperature with mild detergent and no fabric softener. Softener coats the fibres and makes them absorb less. Air dry or tumble dry on low.

Does it help with mud?

It dries the coat, but mud between the toes needs water first. Rinse the paws, then use the towel to dry the coat and legs. The grey colour hides marks between washes.
