What’s the difference between Perfectly Practical and Superior Perfectly Practical?
Both coats offer the same functional design, made with quick-dry 358gsm microfiber towelling inside and a warm 300gsm fleece outer. The Superior version includes a fully piped finish around all edges for a more refined look and an extended girth band for improved sizing flexibility across more dog breeds. Everything else, including fit, features, and drying performance, remains the same.
How do I put the coat on my dog?
The drying coat slips easily over your dog’s head. The underbelly panel passes between their front legs and wraps around their waist, fastening securely with an adjustable Velcro girth strap. Rear leg straps help keep the coat snug and in place for maximum drying efficiency.
Can my dog wear the coat during walks?
Yes! There’s a convenient lead hole at the back of the neck so you can clip on a lead even while the coat is on. It’s perfect for quick exits from the car or short walks after swims or baths.
How do I clean the drying coat?
The coat is fully machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Please refer to the washing label for best results. The coat also features a hanging loop for easy drying or storage.
Do the coats fit deep-chested or broad-neck dogs?
Yes, the front neck zip allows extra room for dogs with a larger neck or chest girth. The flexible fleece collar can also be folded down to improve airflow as your dog begins to dry off.
How do I know which size to choose?
We recommend measuring your dog’s back length (from base of neck to base of tail) and chest girth. Compare your dog’s measurements to our sizing guide for the best fit. If in doubt, our team is happy to help you find the perfect size.
Are the drying coats suitable for all seasons?
Yes! They’re great all year round. In colder months, they help warm your dog after wet walks or baths. In summer, the breathable towelling draws away moisture while the fleece lining provides light insulation without overheating.
Can the drying coat be used in the car?
Yes, our drying coats are perfect for car journeys after walks, swims, or muddy adventures. They protect your car interior from water and dirt while helping your dog dry off calmly and comfortably.
Will it stop my dog from shaking water everywhere?
While no coat can stop all shaking, our snug, towel-lined design significantly reduces splashes by absorbing moisture quickly before your dog gets the chance to shake it off.
My dog doesn’t like wearing clothes, will this be too restrictive?
Our coats are designed for comfort and freedom of movement. They’re soft, lightweight, and adjustable. Most dogs settle into them quickly—especially once they associate them with warmth and drying off.
