Customer review - dryup® cape - Verein internationaler Hundefreunde e.V.
Published by Corinna Ellerbeck & Gaby Schwarze am 14. September 2017
Autumn is fast approaching, and we must once again prepare ourselves for wet and cold weather. For us dog owners, this is of course no obstacle; the dog must be walked – there's no way around it.
Pü Henry and Max already had the opportunity to test the ‘bathrobe for dogs’ in the summer. "The Dryup cape from actionfactoy is made of 100% cotton terry cloth, which guarantees that it will not build up static electricity. The typically large loops greatly increase the surface area of the fabric. This gives the fabric significantly more volume than any other type of fabric! In addition, the natural fibre cotton stores moisture directly in its fibres, thus transporting the wetness away from the dog's coat." So much for the theory...
In practice, the Dryup Cape has already become indispensable for us. Pü Henry is always up to date with the latest fashions, but he doesn't find his jackets particularly comfortable. However, Henry really snuggles up in the ‘bathrobe’ from actionfactory. He runs, lies down and even sleeps in his Dryup Cape without getting anything dirty – wonderful! Moisture is wicked away from the dog really well and the cape itself doesn't feel wet at all.
It comes in various sizes from XS to XXL, and an adjustable strap allows you to customise the width. To prevent it from slipping, the cape is also pulled over the tail at the back. This ensures that the ‘bathrobe’ fits comfortably and gives your dog plenty of room to move. The cape even has a large turtleneck that keeps the neck dry (and even the poodle's crown). It fits both Max and Henry very well and they both love their Dryup cape.
My poodle's coat requires quite a bit of care. I can't rub him too hard, otherwise his fur will become matted, and every now and then he simply has to go in the shower, otherwise I just can't manage his wool. Until now, I always had to spend a long time blow-drying Henry. Now I dry him off quickly, put his Dryup Cape on and snuggle up with him on the sofa. The Dryup Cape saves us a lot of time and is much more comfortable for the pooch than the stupid hairdryer (an absolute win-win situation).
