About Cocker Spaniels
Cocker Spaniels are lively, affectionate dogs who love to explore - whether that’s running through forests, splashing in streams, or bounding across muddy fields!
Dogrobes are ideal for Cocker Spaniels. Our award-winning 3-in-1 dog drying coat dries Cockers in around 30 minutes, keeps them warm and comforts them after working, swims or wet walks.
Add a matching Snood to dry their neck and long silky ears quickly and Gauntlets for wiping down muddy legs and paws - the perfect trio for a complete drying kit.
No more wet, muddy shake-off or soggy dog smell!
Cocker Spaniels are fun-loving, loyal companions with boundless energy, who are happiest when they’re active and by your side.
Dogrobes, Snoods and Gauntlets are made from our exclusive, super-absorbent towelling designed for quick drying, warmth and comfort. The complete Dogrobes kit is not only designed but Made in Britain.
Dogrobes for Cocker Spaniels
It’s no wonder that the Cocker Spaniel Dogrobe is our best-selling size - Dogrobes are the perfect match for this energetic, water-loving breed!
Cocker Spaniels’ long, silky coats tend to trap water and mud and they’re especially prone to shivering when wet after work or walks. Dogrobes’ clever 3-in-1 design solves that - drying, warming and comforting in around 30 minutes.
Our exclusive dual-loop cotton towelling draws moisture fast and traps body heat to stop shivering and speed up drying time.
Two Cocker Spaniels, two styles — the Original Dogrobe (left) and the MAX (right) showing the chest panel and shoulder inserts for extra coverage and comfort
Many Cocker Spaniel owners have long been fans of the Original Dogrobe for its ease of use and quick results. But since the launch of the Dogrobe MAX, more and more have switched to the new design. Its shaped chest panel and shoulder darts give extra coverage and freedom of movement. Customers think that both new features make the new MAX a game-changer!
For something a little different, the Exclusive Collection offers the same trusted performance as the Original Dogrobe, paired with limited-edition patterns that add a touch of style.
Every Dogrobe is proudly made in Britain using years of know-how, expert craftsmanship and feedback from real dog owners. That’s why Dogrobes are trusted by professionals and loved by dogs worldwide.
Finishing Touches
Some dogs wear a harness, so our optional Harness Access Opening lets you dry your dog easily without removing their harness on the journey home. The discreet opening sits at the top of the Dogrobe, giving quick access to the ‘D’ ring. It's available on Original and Exclusive Dogrobes.
You can also add personalisation with your dog’s name - a thoughtful touch for gifts or multi-dog households.
How to Measure Your Dog for a Dogrobe
Dogrobes are generously sized and made to last, so take a little time to measure your Cocker Spaniel carefully for a perfect fit dog drying coat that’ll last them for years.
The same sizing applies across all three styles - Original, Exclusive and MAX.
- Measure Girth - around the deepest part of the chest
- Measure Back Length - from collar to base of tail
The girth is the key measurement. Your dog’s collar-to-tail length should usually be a few inches shorter than the girth - that’s perfect! The extra length drapes over the hindquarters to dry the back legs.
Which Size Dogrobe for a Cocker Spaniel?
After measuring check the breed size guide below to find the best fit.
Size up if your dog is between sizes or their girth matches or is smaller than their back length.
Dogrobes are generously sized - and Cocker Spaniels are the perfect example! Around 95% of Cockers wear an Extra Small (XS) Dogrobe, which often surprises owners who expect them to need a bigger size.
Occasionally, we meet particularly petite Cockers who fit a TOY Dogrobe, while larger, stockier Cockers - especially those closer in build to Springer Spaniels - may suit a Small size instead.
Here’s our quick guide to help you choose the right fit:
Please note the following examples are guides only. Measuring your own dog ensures the best fit.
| Breed Example | Likely Dogrobe Size | Dog's Girth | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petite or fine-framed Cocker | TOY (20in / 51cm) | 20in / 51cm | Rare - only very small Cockers are in this size |
| Most Cocker Spaniels | XS (24in / 61cm) | 24in / 61cm | 95% of Cockers fit this size |
| Larger/longer Springer-sized Cocker Spaniel | S (26in / 66cm) | 26in / 66cm |

Which Size Snood for a Cocker Spaniel?
Snoods are perfect for drying your Cocker Spaniel's head, neck and ears. They also add warmth and help muffle loud noises for sound-sensitive dogs.
Snoods were created thanks to working Cocker Spaniel owners at the Scottish Game Fair, who asked us to design something to dry their dogs’ thick, wet ears. The following year, we returned with the very first Snood prototypes - and they’ve been a firm favourite ever since!
All Dogrobes products are made to last, so take a moment to measure your Cocker Spaniel properly for a snug fit that dries those long, silky ears fast.
Made from the same super-absorbent, lightweight dual-loop cotton towelling as Dogrobes, Snoods come in nine sizes and every colour to match your dog’s drying coat.
Snoods for Cocker Spaniels
Cocker Spaniels usually follow the general Snood sizing rules:
- Hood fit (over head/ears): size down from usual Dogrobe size
- Neck buff fit (around the neck): choose the same size as your Dogrobe
- If your dog sized up in their Dogrobe for girth, choose the breed example Snood size rather than matching the Dogrobe size and size down to wear like a hood
Cocker Spaniels who wear an XS Dogrobe will usually need a TOY Snood. The petite Cockers who wear an TOY Dogrobe will usually stick with the same size Snood - a TOY. Larger, longer dogs who would wear a Small (S) Dogrobe will usually take an XS Snood
To measure for a Snood loop a soft tape around the widest part of your dog’s head (including the ears) to find the top circumference. This ensures the Snood can slide on and off comfortably.

Cocker Spaniel Puppy Growth
Puppies grow quickly so we recommend waiting until your Cocker Spaniel is mature before buying a Dogrobe.
Cocker Spaniels typically reach their adult height by around 9-12 months, though they may not reach full physical maturity until around 18-24 months.
That’s why Dogrobes’ clever tie design is so practical - it adjusts easily as your dog fills out and gives a comfortable, secure fit at every stage. Unlike Velcro fastenings our ties last longer, won’t clog with fur and ensure your Dogrobe stands the test of time.
In the meantime, our Gauntlets help pups get used to gentle drying. They’ll still be a key part of your drying kit when your dog’s fully grown - perfect for drying legs and paws. No more muddy paw prints!
