A normal bath towel pushes water around. This one actually takes it up, which means fewer towels, less shaking, and a dog that is dry enough to be let back into the house rather than confined to the utility room for half an hour. Key Features: Highly absorbent: Takes up considerably more water than a standard cotton towel of the same size. Dries quickly: Wrings out and dries off fast, so it is ready again for the next walk. Generous size: Large enough to wrap around a medium or large dog properly. Soft texture: Gentle on the coat, and soft enough that most dogs tolerate being rubbed down. Machine washable: Goes in with the rest of the washing. Specifications: Quick-drying absorbent pet towel, 60 x 100 cm. Available in blue and grey. Machine washable. Keep one by the back door and one in the car. Wash without fabric softener, which coats the fibres and reduces how much water they take up.
