I made the first ever purpose made dog drying coat in 2010 - to get our Golden boy back from the beach dry him and save our car from soggy dog shakes. Friends liked the idea and so the first ever ‘Dog Drying Coat’ was created.
After testing all possible fabrics on wet dogs (cotton, bamboo, pretty patterns etc) the fabric (we have used for 15 years) was an outstanding winner.
A Surfdog Drying coat can pull 4 times its weight in water from your dog. The deep pile fabric draws water away from coat and skin, moisture is pulled through the weave with capillary action until it reaches the outside surface. Once exposed to the air this water evaporates to completely dry your dog. Other coats get soaked though with just the outer layer of moisture in a dog's coat.
Our prices are based around the amount of this wonderful fabric, and the volume of fabric required to make each size. The XS cost less than the XXL (which takes 5 metres of fabric!)
Surfdog Drying Coat features include...
- 8 sizes Shaped for each size, giving ample room for chests, necks, tummies.
- No Velcro. We make each size to fit. Velcro stops working quickly. We use a long wide snuggly belt that covers the tummy and ties easily on the back
- Tail hole keeps the coat in place along the back and reduces stress by not restricting tails
- Fabric A Surfdog Drying coat can pull 4 times its weight in water from your dog.

A Little Note on Colour:
We do our best to show our products as true to colour as possible. Most of our photos come from customers so please forgive homely backgrounds. Just just like the ocean changes shade with the light, colours can look a little different in real life. Screen settings, sunshine, and fabric dye batches can all add their own twist. Rest assured, your drying coat will still look beautiful
