Dog Drying Coats - Surfdog Australia
If you want an effective Drying Coat that will last a lifetime and look beautiful please read what we do to make our coats special.
Ok so we did actually create the 1st purpose made dog drying coat 15 years ago.. before that you could get a cheap towel with bunny ears that looked cute but didn't fit and didn't dry.
Origin. 100's of sellers have now caught on to Drying Coats but 95%, with no involvement in the quality, comfort or design.
We designed ours on the beach here in Western Australia. We started in 2010 and make about 2000 Drying Coats a year which we keep in stock here. We set out to make the best product we could for our dog. Making it comfortable, effective, and beautiful we continue to do this for our customers.
Weight. Most Drying Coats (say a large size) will weigh about 100 grams.... our large weighs almost 500grams. Because of the density and pile of the fabric.
Drying power. A Drying Coat can only absorb the same amount of water as the weight of the fabric- so if a large drying coat weight is 100grams it will absorb 100mls (like a cup of coffee), ours can absorb half a litre of water away from your dog's coat. Use a Surfdog Drying Coat on a soaking wet dog it will draw all the water from the coat, and skin. Leaving your dog dry. A lightweight coat will leave your dog wet even though the coat is soaking
Fabric. Cheap toweling is made with a looped pile fabric, this is the same fabric you get for cleaning cloths. Surfdog Drying Coats have long threads, not loops.. this draw moisture out of your dogs coat and does not snag or shrink. Your Surfdog Drying Coat will last through many generations of dogs.
Colours. We dye our own fabric as we want to have beautiful bright colours that last a long time. You will not see colours like our anywhere else!
Fastening. Most coats use velcro. Its a cheap solution and allows the maker to make in only a few sizes that can then be adjusted to sometimes fit. We don't use velcro, it has a short life, particularly when used near fur, sand and water. It is also stiff and uncomfortable. We use a long wide fabric belt to snuggle tummies and fasten easily.
Design and comfort. We make 8 sizes so our coats fit perfectly, they are shaped, giving ample room for chests, necks, tummies and bums. We do not need velcro.. they just fit! We have a tail hole, which helps keep the coat straight on the back and allows you to adjust the length of the coat on the back. It also allows your dogs tail to be free... dogs hate anything that interferes with their tails! Customers send us images of their dogs and we make frequent adjustments to the shape if we see a size not fitting perfectly. If a Drying Coat fits well your dog will enjoy wearing, it will dry better, and look beautiful.
