The Dogrobes Story

British-made dog drying coats since 2004

Let dogs be dogs.

Let them run, roll, splash, dig and explore.

When the fun is over, let us take care of the soggy fur, the dripping ears and the muddy paws.

Discover the story behind Dogrobes, what makes our drying coats different and the values that have guided us since 2004.

Ann Playle, working dog trainer and founder of Dogrobes, training one of her Labradors
A practical idea driven by dogs

From small beginnings

Dogrobes were created in Scotland in 2004 by my friend and working dog trainer Ann Playle.

Ann was using old towels to dry her working Labradors. But a quick towel-dry never did the job well enough. So Ann designed a practical dog drying coat her dogs could wear:

  • to dry them properly
  • to keep muscles warm after exercise
  • to protect surroundings from shake-off

Growing with our customers

In 2013, when Ann retired, I took over and began sewing Dogrobes and staying true to Ann's principle: put dogs first - always.

We listened closely to what our customers needed and completed our head-to-paw dog drying kit:

  • dog Snoods to dry head, neck and ears
  • Gauntlets drying mitts for legs and paws

Today, Dogrobes remains a family-owned business, delivering our British-made dog drying products to homes and businesses worldwide.
