How a Dog Drying Robe Can Make The Perfect Caravan Trip
October saw Harbour Hounds make a first-time appearance at the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2022 at the NEC in Birmingham. It was wonderful to interact with so many other individuals that share a passion for travel and their four-legged friends. Whilst we had never doubted the handiness of our Dog Drying Robes, our team had never quite appreciated just how perfect they are for pups on the move.
With the spike in touring holidays showing no sign of stopping, it seems that more people are spending quality time with their furry friends on staycations or abroad. Here are five reasons why a Dog Drying Robe could be the perfect addition to your next getaway:
Saving Damage
It’s no secret that a wet dog can cause mountains of damage to a much-loved caravan or motorhome. An unexpected jump on the sofa or bed after a wet walk is enough to ruin the material, and leave you without a place to sit for 2 hours! Our robes encapsulate the water in a snug fit that keeps the dog comfortable and lets them move around as well. This means your pooch can roam freely in your vehicle without drenching it.
Keeping Them Warm
Many dogs, particularly those with short hair, are very sensitive to cold temperatures. In the spur of the moment, they might pound into the sea in delight, only to be shivering away for the next few hours in your caravan. Our drying robes are 100% cotton which means your pup will be kept far warmer than a standard rub down with a towel. The robe also clips on with handy poppers which means it won’t be flying off as soon they hear a knock at the door or a crisp drop.
An Environmentally Friendly Alternative
Harbour Hounds is proud to prioritise the environment in everything that we do. Our robes use eco-friendly materials such as metal fasteners, plus we manufacture them in Europe to keep carbon emissions low. Our factory is Oeko-tex certified. This means hazardous substances, such as heavy metals, toxic dyes, and carcinogens, are not used in the manufacture of our products. All better for the planet.
The robes also reduce the need for buying more towels and repeatedly washing large loads of them in campsite laundry rooms. This means more energy efficiency and more free time for you
Keeping Things Simple
We all know the power of convenience when making a trip away. With so many moving parts and things to remember, we don’t need to add any more stress to a road trip that should be relaxing.
Our Dog Drying Robes are designed with practicality in mind. They offer an easier alternative to tirelessly drying your pup and everything he or she touches. This gives you more time to take it easy, read a book, start the BBQ, or move on to the next concern – the kids.
A Scent Of Familiarity
It’s been noted that it’s always a good idea to bring items (toys, beds, blankets) that carry a familiar scent while traveling with a dog. With changing environments, particularly in motorhomes that are designed to stay on the move, it can be comforting for your canine to have a sense of home with them.
We’re proud that our Drying Robes offer this sense of security with an all-encompassing fit that will give your dog consistency in different locations. Just be sure that they wear it around the house first.
Our drying robes have benefitted thousands of customers and we believe it is the gateway to a stress-free road trip with your prized pooch. So, head over to our shop to take a look at all of our coastal designs. Happy trails.
