Dog Bathrobes & Sweaters

Q: Is a dog bathrobe sensible?

A dog bathrobe can be a useful everyday aid - not just for water-loving dogs. Dogs with weak immune systems especially benefit from being kept warm and dry after a fresh bath or walk in the rain. A dog bathrobe protects particularly old, ill dogs and puppies from hypothermia. Dogs without an undercoat should also be thoroughly dried after each bath; otherwise, they cool down quickly. In addition to preventing hypothermia, a dog bathrobe can protect the dog from swimmer's tail. Swimmer's tail is an unnatural position of the tail, often associated with pain, that can occur after a very cold water bath or overexertion. Dogs prone to swimmer's tail should first not play too much or for too long in cold water and should be thoroughly dried off afterwards. A dog bathrobe is recommended then, especially if the dog has to get into the car afterwards. This is another advantage of a dog bathrobe: the dog will dry faster, and the car will stay clean, thanks to a dog bathrobe with legs. There is also an advantage for humans: with a dog bathrobe, you can largely avoid the "wet dog smell". Furthermore, a fleece dog coat can provide dogs with thin fur snug thermal protection, and can also be worn under a dog raincoat or dog winter coat. Alternatively, one can opt for a dog jumper or dog sweater made of fleece or flannel. In the Kramer Equestrian online shop, you can buy dog bathrobes by sugar dog both with or without legs. The highly absorbent microfibre and moisture-wicking terry cloth materials dry your dog in record time. Bright colours also make the dog bathrobe a real eye-catcher. The practical design allows for quick dressing and secure fastening of the bathrobe.

What should I consider when buying a dog bathrobe?

Even though dog bathrobes are usually made of soft materials, the correct size should be carefully chosen. The bathrobe should not pinch or slip anywhere. To ensure this, measure your dog while they are standing: Lay the measuring tape at the nape of the neck, along the spine to the base of the tail. Based on the size specifications for each dog bathrobe, you can find the right bathrobe for your dog.

Bathrobes for dogs are available in various materials, all of which serve the purpose of quickly drying your dog. Different types include:

Microfibre, lightweight and highly absorbent, and more affordable when compared to other materials
Mixed-material like terry cloth fabric is also very absorbent
Cotton, as a natural material, is highly absorbent and also suitable for dogs with allergies

Then the question arises, which is better: a dog bathrobe with or without legs? A dog bathrobe with legs is recommended for dogs with thick coats, among other factors, because they tend to dry slowly. Then the bathrobe can absorb most of the moisture around the legs. A dog bathrobe with legs is therefore a good choice for transporting your dog in the car after a wet walk. A dog bathrobe without legs, on the other hand, offers generous freedom of movement, which is especially important for growing dogs. Whilst puppies and young dogs can quickly outgrow the legs of the bathrobe, restricted movement can lead to structural deformities in their still soft bones and muscles. The same caution should also be exercised when adjusting dog harnesses and collars for puppies.

Another criterion when purchasing dog bathrobes is the fastening option around the belly, which keeps the thinly-furred abdominal area warm and dry. Slipping into and closing the bathrobe should be comfortable and pleasant for the dog, without any unnecessary buckles and loops that could hinder its comfort. Further information on dog coats and dog jumpers, as well as help in determining which coat might be right for your dog, can be found in the Items for walking your dog chapter of our Dog Guide.
