Why Dogs Should Have a Separate Towel

If you are a dog owner, you know that bathing your dog at home rather than going to a groomer can save you quite a bit of money. Nevertheless, there are a few things to keep in mind with home baths as you wash and dry your canine companion, starting with why your dog should have a separate towel rather than using the same "human towels" you do.

Dogs vary in size, hair texture and shedding habits, but no matter the breed, your dog should not be sharing your towels. Human towels absorb water from our skin and small amount of hair. Dogs' fur covers their body and holds more water, so you could end up using two or three standard towels to dry a wet pup. Investing in a towel made for dogs instead can make cleaning up after an at-home grooming session much easier. 

What Material Is in Dog Towels?

Humans use cotton towels because they are comfortable, soft and get the moisture off our skin without being abrasive. Since dogs have a coat of fur, their wet bodies need a heavier-duty dry than ours. A towel for dogs is made of microfiber, as this material is much more absorbent than cotton. 

Microfiber towels are the effortless alternative to wasting several clean cotton towels after a home bath for your dog. They dry quickly, and you can get different sizes based on how big your dog is. Your bath towels will have a longer life span if you save them for yourself and invest in a special towel for your pup.

How to Use a Dog Towel

If you've never used a separate towel for your dog, here are a few steps to get started:

  1. Find the right towel: Take some time to browse for the perfect dog towel. Your type of dog will affect what kind you need. Is your dog small? Do they have short hair or thick fur?
  2. Bathe your dog: If you're a beginner at home-bathing, you might want to study up on best practices before you put your dog in the bathtub. 
  3. Pat your dog dry: Before your dog runs off to shake water everywhere, pat them dry with the microfiber towel while they're still in the tub or shower. You can even use a hairdryer before your dog leaves the room. 
  4. Wash your microfiber towel: Because you should not bathe your dog more than every few weeks, you can wash your dog's towel right after use. Store it in the bathroom for easy access next time your pup needs a bath.

A towel for your dog can be handy for bathing, drying their feet after a walk or any time your pup decides to get wet. You want to keep your quality human towels separate so you can be clean without wondering if you're sharing with your furry friend.
