BFS Sandy Paws Drying Robe

Every water dog has a finishing move, and it's a full-body shake aimed at whoever's closest. The Sandy Paws robe is the counter-move. It's a wrap-around coat in double-layer microfiber that pulls water off the coat and into the fabric while your dog wears it, chasing a wriggling dog around with a towel becomes draping on a robe and smoothing it twice. Ten or fifteen minutes later, you've got a damp robe and a mostly-dry dog instead of the other way around.

The design covers what towels miss: chest, belly, and the flanks that soak car seats. Hook-and-loop closures at the chest and belly adjust through a real range, so the fit stays snug on deep-chested swimmers and barrel-bodied paddlers alike, and there's an opening at the back for a leash clip-through. After beach days it pulls double duty trapping sand that would otherwise reach your floor mats. Machine wash cold, hang dry, repeat all summer.

Sizing is by back length, measure from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail: S 14 in, M 18 in, L 22 in, XL 26 in. If your dog is between sizes, go up a size; a relaxed wrap dries just as well and fusses less. One honest note: microfiber is a magnet for water, but it's no match for a true double-coated soak-down on its own, for the thickest coats, robe first, then finish the undercoat with a towel.
