Why I Made It
Hi, I’m Scott — I designed this towel because regular bath towels just don’t work well on a soaking wet dog.
The high-density 400 GSM MicroTech™ fabric pulls moisture from the coat quickly, while the built-in corner hand pockets give you better grip and control around paws, legs, tummies and wriggly dogs.
It’s large enough for bigger dogs, soft enough for sensitive skin and made for everyday use after baths, beach days, swimming and wet walks.
The “Hand Pocket” Game Changer
This is one of the details that makes the towel so practical.
The built-in corner hand pockets give you a secure grip, making it much easier to dry wriggly legs, paws and tummies without the towel slipping out of your hands.
Once you’ve used them, it’s hard to go back to a standard towel.
Backed by hundreds of 5-star reviews, the towel measures 130cm × 77cm — generous enough for large, wet dogs while still being soft and comfortable for smaller dogs and puppies.

At last, a towel designed for massive rottweilers and their thick double coats. These towels are huge, and with two hand pockets, are brilliant for drying rottweilers after their baths. They absorb so much water, and never get saturated. Bath days are finally equipped with quality towels.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review both products Nicole. Helps me out a bunch! Take care

Hey everyone. Just a quick bit of feedback for this person’s business. Pretty awesome dog towels these. Prob best I’ve ever had. Supposedly doing dog hoodies and robes soon so will keep an eye out for that as my lab is useless in the cold. Anyway thought I’d leave some feedback as I have really appreciated my purchase. Side note - Think Dog and Dolphin flows better than Dolphin and Dog. 😁👍

I purchased 2 towels for a Bernese Mountain dog puppy. I'm really happy with them as they dry her very well.Using the hand 'pockets' I can really give her a good rub and then hang up the towel with the sewn on loop.

We recently found out our dog loves water! Baths, beach, rainy days! He loves it all. Thankful to have found Dolphin & Dog. The colour options are beautiful and they WORK! Super absorbent and quick drying which makes us and our pup happy! Thank you for a great product, quick delivery, and easy purchase! Looking forward to more from this brand!

Excellent quality. Soaks up like a sponge. Dries quickly . Great product

The only dog towels you will ever need. If the ethos around being ocean-friendly and plastic free is not already the perfect reason to support and buy from this company then read on ... Exceptional quality, soft and absorbent even when you've been using them for months and months. Dry quickly when used so no lingering wet dog smell. Machine washable but wash well by hand too. Again they dry quickly which is useful if you have a floofy dog that likes to get wet even on a dry walk. Really polite and helpful customer services too. Cannot recommend highly enough

The best dog towel for your “floof” by far. I have the double pack SUPER ABSORBENT TOWELS FOR DOGS which works great for me. I keep one in my boot and one by my front door as I have a husky who is partial to diving into puddles, lakes and the sea on weekends! As you can imagine owning a husky I need a very absorbent dog towel that actually works and this does! Somehow the microfibre noodles manage to get both his top coat and undercoat dry with a thorough rub down. My husky is not keen on being towel dried so the built in hand pockets are really useful and keep my hands protected from playful biting plus I am able to keep the towel in hand for rigorous drying! It makes drying him a whole lot quicker, easier and painless! In addition to being such a great dog towel the owner is very helpful with answering any questions you may have and is trying to make a difference environmentally. He promotes ocean conscious pet care and is dedicated to not using plastic and giving back to the community. (If you have Time I’d recommend reading his mission bio on his website)

What can i say about these dog towels other than they are absolutely fantasic. We bought our first set six years ago and to this day they are still as good as when we first bought them they have not wore in the slightest and are the most absorbent towels i have ever had. We use them everday for drying the dog after heavy rain, if we have been at the beach or if we have given the dog a bath. They wash great and dry very quickly. I am based in the uk and was gutted to find out i could not get them from amazon any more but then we discovered dolphin & dog website and that they ship to the uk and i was so pleased that i was able to buy more as they truly are the best dog towels ever. They are very reasonably priced especially for the quality of these towels. Fast delivery to the uk and was kept informed of every step of the shipment. I would highly recommend dolphin & dog.
Hello Yvonne, I just found your review. it snuck through my notifications. I love hearing stories like this about my dog towels. I advertise that these dog towels truly stand the test of time and its great to have you as my customer, confirm this. I think this will help others spend a little bit more to have something of quality. Much appreciated. Contact me anytime if you need anything. - Scott

The Difference is in the Density
I wanted this towel to have the soft, substantial feel of a thick cotton towel, but with the faster-drying performance of modern microfibre.
The 400 GSM high-density weave gives it that balance — plush and comfortable to handle, but still highly effective at pulling moisture from a wet coat.
It absorbs quickly, stays lighter while drying and is designed with a smooth surface that won’t snag easily on paws or fur.

Microfibre Dog Towels
What to look for before you buy — and why it’s worth choosing a quality dog towel over a cheap alternative.
READ ARTICLEFrequently Asked Questions
Most regular cotton towels struggle with wet dog fur because they push water around rather than pulling it out of the coat. Microfibre works differently. The fibres are much finer and create far more surface area, allowing the towel to absorb and lift water quickly — even from dense undercoats.
That means faster drying, less mess in the house, and a much happier dog.
Start by using a highly absorbent dog towel to remove the bulk of the water from your dog’s coat. Focus on the chest, belly, legs, and tail where water tends to sit.
For dogs that are still damp after towelling, many owners then use a wearable drying coat so the remaining moisture can continue absorbing while their dog moves around comfortably.
Yes. High-quality microfibre towels are generally safe for dogs with sensitive skin. The fibres are extremely fine and smooth, which allows the towel to absorb water quickly without the rough rubbing that can sometimes occur with thicker cotton towels.
Because microfibre pulls moisture away from the coat efficiently, it also reduces the amount of time your dog stays wet — something that can help prevent irritation in dogs with sensitive skin or dense coats.
For best results, simply pat and gently squeeze the towel through the coat rather than rubbing aggressively. This keeps drying comfortable for your dog while still removing moisture quickly.
Machine wash in cold or warm water with regular detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce the absorbency of microfibre.
Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat to restore the fluffiness. With proper care, the towel will stay highly absorbent for years.
They actually work best together.
Use the dog towel first to remove most of the water, then put your dog into a drying coat to absorb the remaining moisture while they move around. This combination dramatically reduces wet dog smell and keeps your home much drier after beach days or baths.
Dog coats are very different from human hair. Many breeds have dense fur or undercoats that trap water close to the skin.
A purpose-built dog towel is designed to pull water out of the coat much faster, meaning less drying time and less water spread around your home.
