Christmas Dog Drying Guide with Dogrobes | Winter Tips and Gift Ideas

Stay warm, dry and ready for festive fun with Dogrobes this Christmas

Winter is here, and with it comes the rain, the mud, the wild winds and, if we’re lucky, the magic of snow. It’s the season of cosy nights in, crisp morning walks and dogs who return home just a little too soggy for your sofa.

Dogrobes make winter easier because they’re the easy way to dry dogs fast. Whether you’re facing rainy walks, swims or hydrotherapy, bath times or melting snowballs, our drying kit keeps your dog warm and comfortable.

Here’s your festive guide to winter essentials, what to avoid and simple Christmas gifting ideas.

Why Dogrobes are essential at this time of year

Wet and muddy winter walks

Nothing dries a dog faster than our super-absorbent, dual-loop cotton towelling. It draws moisture away quickly, so your dog dries and warms up faster and your home and car stay cleaner.

Pop the Dogrobe on before your dog jumps into the car or walks indoors and let it work its magic while your dog chills out.

Hydrotherapy and cold-water swims

Many dogs rely on hydrotherapy year-round and others you just can’t keep out of any water! (we hear you Spaniel, Retriever and Labrador owners!) Winter only heightens the need for quick, gentle drying afterwards.

Pair a Dogrobe with a matching Snood and Gauntlets and you’ve got the full drying system to help your dog warm up again without stress.

More bath times in winter 

More rain = more mud = more baths. Dogrobes make bath time easier and much quicker. Wrap your dog, tie securely and let the robe do the hard work while they snooze.

Snowballs clinging to fur

Fluffy coats often collect icy snowballs. A Dogrobe melts them gently and collects the water before it reaches your floor.

Snoods dry and warm the head and ears, and Gauntlets dry the paws.

Complete The Kit - your winter drying trio

To make life even easier, the Complete The Kit bundle offers three essentials designed to work together. Save £5 on top of any discount code you may have.

Dogrobes - Original, Exclusive and MAX

All three dog drying robe styles use the same trusted, super-absorbent fabric.

• Original - our signature design, lightweight and fast-drying, available with or without Harness Access.
• Exclusive - our range of unique patterns, also available with Harness Access.
• MAX - more coverage with a chest plate, higher collar and shoulder darts, perfect for dogs who need that extra protection in winter.

All Dogrobes are tied securely (never Velcro), available in sizes MINI to XXXL, and made in Britain to last.

Snoods

Designed to dry the head, neck and ears, Snoods are especially helpful in cold weather and after swims. They're also perfect for muffling sudden festive noises like fireworks or crackers.

Gauntlets

These dog drying mitts are the answer to muddy paws, snowy feathers and waterlogged legs. One size fits all.

Christmas gifting - for dogs and the people who love them

We know Christmas shopping can creep up on you, so here are ideas to make gifting simple.

Gifts for your own dog

Treat your dog to head-to-tail comfort with the Complete The Kit set. A matching Dogrobe, Snood and Gauntlets make winter drying a breeze and keep your home and car cleaner too.

Gifts for dog lovers

If you’re unsure of size or colour, our Gift Vouchers (£5 or £20) are a great choice. They allow the recipient to spoil their dog themselves and they never fail to delight.

Gifts for puppies

As adorable as a puppy in a Dogrobe would be, they grow too fast! Instead, choose Gauntlets - one size fits all and ideal for quick drying after outdoor adventures.

Personalised Dogrobes

Add your dog’s name or nickname to any Dogrobe style - Original, MAX or Exclusive. Embroidery makes the gift feel thoughtful and special, so order early to allow time for stitching.

Stocking fillers

Snoods and Gauntlets roll up neatly and make perfect little gifts.

Winter wellbeing - seasonal advice from The Vet

Christmas is filled with temptations that aren’t safe for our dogs. Here are the key things to watch out for:

• Chocolate: Dark chocolate is especially dangerous. Keep all sweet treats out of reach.
• Raisins and grapes: Found in cakes, puddings, mince pies and stollen - all highly toxic.
• Onions, garlic and shallots: Present in gravies, stuffings and some leftovers.
• Christmas trees: Needles can irritate the stomach; baubles and tinsel are tempting to chew.
• Fairy lights: Always use a circuit breaker to avoid electric shocks.
• Grit and salt: Can irritate paws - rinse after walks and dry thoroughly with Gauntlets.

A little awareness goes a long way in keeping your dog safe and well throughout the season.
