Watch how a Dogrobe, Snood and Gauntlets work together to dry, warm and comfort Roguey after a swim.
From fitting the products correctly to revealing a dry dog just 30 minutes later, this short video shows the complete Dogrobes drying process.
Then explore our simple guides and care tips below.
How to fit a Dogrobe
- Slip the Dogrobe over your dog's head
- Straighten it out to cover their back and hindquarters
- Draw one tie up on each side of their body
- Tie loosely in a single loop to the side of the spine
The Dogrobe should fit comfortably and allow your dog to move freely.
How to fit a Dogrobe MAX
- Slip the Dogrobe MAX over your dog's head
- Straighten it out to cover their back and hindquarters
- Pass the chest plate through the front legs to cover the chest and belly
- Draw the tie up on each side of their body
- Tie loosely in a single loop to the side of the spine
- Tuck in the sides if required
Shoulder darts provide extra room around the chest and front legs for greater freedom of movement.
How to fit and wear a Snood
1. Hood Fit
- Dries the head, neck and ears after swimming, bathing and wet walks
- Helps calm dogs during fireworks or windy weather
- Most dogs wear one size smaller than their Dogrobe when worn as a hood - check our Snood Size Guide to be sure
2. Neck Buff Fit
- Helps dry thick neck fur on long-haired breeds
- Keeps dogs warm and cosy once dry
- Choose the same size as your Dogrobe when worn as a neck buff- check our Snood Size Guide to confirm the best fit
Fitting tip: Fit the Dogrobe first, then pop the Snood over your dog's head with the label facing the front. The wide base of the Snood fits comfortably over the Dogrobe.
Using Dogrobes Gauntlets
- Use Dogrobes Gauntlets to dry wet, muddy paws and legs or for a quick rub-down after a rainy walk
- Each Gauntlet has two drying sides, so simply swap hands to use both sides
- The elasticated wrist helps keep the Gauntlets securely in place while drying your dog
- Perfect for nervous pups (and towel-obsessed ones!)
Keep a pair by the door, in the car or in your dog walking bag for quick clean-ups on the go.
How Long Will It Take to Dry My Dog?
Different dogs will have different drying times, but most dogs will be dry within 30 minutes or less.
Leave the Dogrobe or Snood on until your dog feels dry, then remove it.
Safety First
Please supervise your dog while wearing their Dogrobe or Snood - some dogs like to chew!
Keep away from fire.

Cool Wash
- Wash at 30°C
- Wash different colours separately before first use, then wash with similar colours
- Wash as often as needed, depending on how muddy your dog gets
- Any AquaFilm stabiliser used during embroidery will dissolve completely during the first wash
Dry Thoroughly
- Tumble dry gently or hang to air dry
- Dry Dogrobes, Snoods and Gauntlets thoroughly before re-use

- Dogrobes' unique dual-loop towelling dries quickly, helping keep products fresh and ready for the next adventure
Protect Absorbency
