Dachshund Drying Robe

Made for a long back and short legs, which no standard dog robe is.

Put an ordinary robe on a dachshund and one of two things happens: it drowns them, or it stops halfway and leaves the back half wet. This one is proportioned properly — long through the body, snug at the chest, no fabric pooling underneath for them to trip over.

What it does

• Dries after baths and wet walks - absorbent fabric pulls the water out instead of smearing it around
• Doubles as pyjamas - short-coated sausage dogs feel the cold, and most owners end up leaving it on in the evening
• Goes on fast - over the head, fasten under the chest, done
• Machine washable - 30°C, air dry

Sizing

Measure along the back, from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Standard and miniature dachshunds differ a lot, so measure rather than guessing — and size up if you land between two.
