This is where we truly believe that British-made dog drying coats are the ultimate choice, and it’s why Dogrobes always have and always will be made in Britain.

But what sets British-made dog drying coats apart from the rest? And what are the benefits for businesses and customers alike to support British manufacturing? Read on as we explore what it means to be made in Britain and why it’s so important to us at Dogrobes.

What is a Made in Britain product?

The term "Made in Britain" refers to products that have been manufactured or produced in Great Britain. Both physical and digital products can be classified as made in Britain. In the case of physical products, the Made in Britain organisation defines a British product as:

“Physical products which are deemed to have been manufactured or produced in Great Britain, as a result of Great Britain being the place where all labour/human resources manufacturing or producing the finished physical product is provided.”

Made in Britain verifies this by allowing registered brands and products to display the official Made in Britain mark when promoting their products. The Made in Britain mark is a symbol of quality, craftsmanship and ethical production. It signifies that the product has been made to the highest standards and supports British manufacturing.

Exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail are at the core of British-made products, and dog drying coats are no exception. Made from high-quality, durable materials, they are designed to provide optimal comfort for your pup.

Choosing a dog drying coat that is made in Britain, such as Dogrobes, ensures that you are investing in a high-quality item. By purchasing a British-made dog drying coat, you are not only supporting local businesses but also guaranteeing the best for your furry friend.

Features to consider when choosing a dog robe or dog drying coat

When you think of the features you’d like in a dog drying coat, a lot of these come naturally from being made in Britain by a trusted brand. Firstly, the material used should be durable and of high quality, and the product should feature quality design and craftsmanship, ensuring that it can withstand frequent use and washing.

Another important feature to consider is the fit of the coat. Dogrobes are available in various sizes to fit different breeds , ensuring a snug and secure fit. This is important as a well-fitting coat provides optimal comfort for your dog. Drying coats or dressing gowns for dogs should also be easy to fit to you can put them on quickly after a walk or bath time, before your dog drips or shakes everywhere!

Your dog drying robe should be designed with dogs in mind. Some dogs may be wary of wearing clothes, so the coat should be as comfortable and comforting as possible. Dogrobes are single-layered, lightweight and breathable to make them well-tolerated by dogs. And we don’t use Velcro in any of our designs as the sound of Velcro can spook some dogs, and becomes less effective if it gets clogged with dog hair.

Also consider the design and style of the coat. Dog drying coats often come in a variety of colours and patterns, allowing you to choose a coat that not only serves its purpose but also looks stylish on your furry friend. Dogrobes are available in 11 colours plus the stylish patterns in our Exclusive Collection. After all, who says practicality can't be fashionable?

Care and maintenance tips for dog robes and drying coats to make them last

We pride ourselves on making quality dog drying coats that are made to last. Our customers often tell us they still have their original Dogrobe from years and years ago and haven’t needed to replace it yet.

Proper care and maintenance for your dog drying robe will help to ensure it lasts just as long. Always follow the care instructions on the label. Each coat may have specific washing and drying instructions, so it's important to read and follow them accordingly. Here’s what we recommend for your Dogrobe:

1. Wash it separately before you first use it, washing at 40°C and tumble drying on a low heat, or air drying if preferred. It is not suitable for dry cleaning or ironing.

2. Dry the Dogrobe thoroughly in between uses. It is single-layered and fast drying, making it quick and easy to air dry.

3. How often you need to wash your Dogrobe will depend on how often you use it and how mucky your dog gets. Many of our customers wash theirs around once a week to keep it fresh.

4. Before washing, remove any excess dirt or debris from the coat. This can be done by gently brushing or shaking off the coat outdoors.

5. Don't use liquid fabric softener and dryer sheets or use them very sparingly, as these can reduce the absorption of the towelling fabric. Don’t use harsh chemicals or cleaners such as bleach.

6. Regularly inspect the coat for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any loose stitches or damaged closures, repair them promptly to prevent further damage.

By following these care and maintenance tips, you can ensure that your dog robe or drying coat remains in excellent condition, providing years of comfort for your furry friend.
