All Dachshunds Welcome: A Dog Drying Coat Made Especially for Low Riders.

The New Dolphin & Dog Dachshund Range

I’ve met enough sausage dogs to know one thing — they don’t fit into anything “standard.” Their low-rider shape makes regular dog coats either too short, too wide, or just plain awkward. So, after talking with local dachshund owners in Australia (and becoming part of the Port Macquarie dachshund crew myself), I decided to create a Dachshund coat

Why Dachshunds Need Their Own Design

Most dog drying coats and towels are built for average dogs, but dachshunds aren’t average. They’ve got long backs, short legs, and big personalities — and that means they need proper coverage that actually fits. When a coat rides up or drags on the ground, it doesn’t just look off — it doesn’t work properly either.
So I went back to the drawing board and redesigned the shape from scratch. The new Dolphin & Dog Dachshund Range gives full belly coverage without the drag, with an adjustable fit around the chest so it stays put — no matter how many zoomies are involved.

Built for the Beach, Bath, and Beyond

Just like my original Dolphin & Dog dog drying coats, the dachshund range has a premium microfibre toweling inside that soaks up water fast. It’s perfect after a swim, a bath, or one of those spontaneous puddle dives sausage dogs seem to love.
The fabric’s tight weave helps trap sand and moisture so it doesn’t end up all through your car or home — and it dries in no time, ready for the next adventure. If you’ve been searching for the best dachshund drying coat in Australia, this is it.

Tested by the Real Experts

This range wasn’t designed in a vacuum. I worked closely with local dachshund owners and tried the prototypes on every shape and size — minis, standards, and even a few chunky sausages. After plenty of feedback (and a few dog treats), we landed on a fit that’s spot on. The result? A dog robe for dachshunds that actually works, not one that just “sort of fits.”

Sustainable, Practical, and Built to Last

Like all Dolphin & Dog products, the dachshund range is part of my Close the Loop program. When it’s finally time for a replacement, send it back to me for recycling and get 15% off your next order. But don’t expect that to be soon — these are made tough, using high-quality materials designed to last season after season.

A Small Dog, A Big Range

From the classic Soul Surfer design to fresh new colours made just for the low-riders, every piece is handmade with the same attention to detail as my full-size coats. Because being small shouldn’t mean missing out on the good stuff.
