Hi, I'm Scott, founder and designer of Dolphin & Dog in Port Macquarie, NSW.
I created this Dog Towel Essentials Set because no single towel is perfect for every wet-dog situation. From bath time and beach adventures to muddy paws and unexpected rain, each towel has a specific job.
Rather than buying more of the same, you're getting three different drying solutions designed to work together.

My generously sized 130 × 77 cm Premium Dog Towel is made from high-density 400 GSM MicroTech™ microfibre for fast, effective water absorption.
Built-in corner hand pockets provide excellent grip and control when drying your dog's back, belly, legs and paws.
Best for: Bath time, rainy walks, larger dogs and everyday drying.
Colours: Ocean Blue or Silver.

Designed for dogs that love getting properly wet, sandy or muddy.
The deep chenille microfibre strands help absorb water and lift loose sand and dirt from your dog's coat. Its hand-pocket design makes drying thick coats, paws and underbellies easier.
Best for: Beach adventures, muddy walks, thick coats and heavy-duty drying.
Colours: Ocean Blue or Grey.

Two compact, highly absorbent chamois towels with a reusable silicone storage pouch.
Simply wring out excess water and keep drying. They're ideal for keeping in the car, beach bag or travel kit when you need a quick clean-up.
Best for: Wet paws, salty coats, car trips, travel and unexpected rain.
Includes: Two chamois towels and one reusable silicone pouch.
Three specialist towel styles for different drying situations.
Four towels in total, including the Chamois Twin Pack.
Two towels with hand pockets for better drying control.
High-absorbency microfibre for quick, practical drying.
Reusable silicone pouch for convenient chamois storage.
Choose your colours to create your preferred combination.
Designed in Port Macquarie, Australia by Dolphin & Dog.
A$99 with free tracked Australian shipping.
Premium and Beach & Bath Towels: Machine wash and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softener to help maintain absorbency.
Chamois Towels: Rinse by hand, wring out excess water and store slightly damp in the silicone pouch. If they dry stiff, soak briefly in water before use.
Whether you're drying your dog after a bath, cleaning up after the beach or keeping muddy paws out of the car, my Dog Towel Essentials Set gives you the right towel for the job.
Choose your colours and get all four towels for A$99, including free tracked shipping across Australia.
Customers regularly tell me their dog towels are still going strong after years of use. Take a look at the reviews below, and send me any questions you may have.
I wanted to create a dog towel with the soft, substantial feel of a thick cotton towel, but with the fast-drying performance of modern fabric technology. The result is a premium high-density weave that feels plush and velvety, quickly pulls moisture from the coat, and stays lighter for longer while drying.
This fabric sits in that ideal middle ground — soft and luxurious to the touch, yet highly effective when your dog is wet. It absorbs up to 7 times its weight in water, helps reduce lingering damp smells, and unlike many standard microfibre towels, it is designed not to catch on your hands or your dog’s paws.

READ ARTICLEDog Towel FAQ
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.
