Why a dog bathrobe?
Even if dogs shouldn't be showered or bathed too often, it just has to be done now and then. Dogs roll around in dirt or even the feces of other animals. It wouldn't be unbearable to take a dog shampoo and wash the four-legged rascal thoroughly.
But after the dog bath, half the apartment can quickly be under water if the four-legged friend is not dried thoroughly. The wet fur can also damage furniture and textiles. A dog bathrobe that can be put on the four-legged friend after the bath can help.
The dog bathrobe absorbs the water thoroughly and ensures that the fur is dry without the need for a hairdryer. At the same time, the dog is warmed up well by the dog bathrobe and does not start to shiver. Bathrobes for dogs are now available in many different colors and are also ideal as a fun and practical gift for dog lovers.

What makes a good dog bathrobe?
We always think it's good when things are made locally or at least don't have to be shipped halfway around the world, so we recommend buying dog bathrobes from Germany or Europe. Manufacturers usually have to meet higher standards, which leads to better products. A dog bathrobe made of organic cotton is particularly high quality and does not cause any allergies in dogs - plastic bathrobes should be avoided.
The dog bathrobe should also be produced in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner and be able to absorb water well after washing. This way, your four-legged friend's fur will dry quickly and the dog will not get cold so quickly.
A terry cloth dog bathrobe is particularly absorbent as it absorbs water after bathing, so that the floor in the apartment stays dry.
Find the right size
Of course, when buying a dog bathrobe, you should make sure you get the right size. Dog bathrobes are available for small, medium and large dog breeds. Most dog bathrobes can be ordered in sizes XXXS to XXL.
Before buying, the dog should be measured precisely to ensure that the dog bathrobe really fits. Some manufacturers determine the size based on the dog's weight, so that the correct size for the dog bathrobe can also be determined using this. When measuring the four-legged friend, the neck circumference, back length and shoulder width should be taken into account.
A tape measure or folding rule is suitable for measuring. The dog's weight can be found in the vet's records.
Dog bathrobe with legs - How do I put it on my four-legged friend correctly?
The dog bathrobe should have cutouts for feet so that the four-legged friend can easily walk around the house wearing the bathrobe. There is often a belt in the waist area with which the dog bathrobe can be fastened.
Despite the dog bathrobe, the dog should be dried thoroughly with a towel after washing. The paws should be dried particularly well, especially if you as a dog owner have sensitive floors in your home. The dog bathrobe can then be placed around the dog, which should be wrapped up well. The dog bathrobe can be placed tightly around the animal's body using the belt.
Care should be taken not to tie the belt too tightly so that the four-legged friend feels comfortable in it. Once the fur has dried out over time, the dog bathrobe can be removed again. It is best to hang it directly on the clothesline so that it dries quickly for the next use.
How do I care for a dog bathrobe?
A dog bathrobe can get dirty over time and develop a few stains. Typical dog smells can also develop, meaning the dog bathrobe needs to be washed.
Every cotton dog bathrobe can be washed in the washing machine at around 30 to 40 degrees. It is best to dry the dog bathrobe in the fresh air to maintain its strong absorbency for longer.
Sew your own dog bathrobe - inexpensive & individual
Dog owners don't always have to buy a dog bathrobe. If you're handy with a sewing machine and enjoy crafting, you can sew a dog bathrobe yourself. You can easily print out a dog bathrobe template online, which is perfect as a template for cutting out the fabric.

Conclusion
For little money, a dog bathrobe can really make your dog's everyday life easier. If you have the talent and maybe a sewing machine, you can let your creativity run wild and maybe even create a great gift for friends and their dogs.
