The Big Dry-Off is a classic drying coat with a stand-up collar and wide belly band, in four colours and sizes up to XL for big breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should I leave it on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost owners pop it on straight after the walk and leave it on while their dog settles. Heavier or double coats take longer, so leave it on until the fur feels just damp, then take it off and let it air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I wash it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWash on a cool, gentle cycle and skip the fabric softener, which coats microfibre and reduces how much water it absorbs. Fasten the velcro before washing so it doesn't snag other items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, it's designed to absorb water, not keep rain out. For wet-weather walks, use a waterproof coat on the way and The Big Dry-Off once you're back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy dog doesn't like wearing things. Will this work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere's nothing to step into: it goes over the head and fastens under the belly. Introduce it with treats and praise, and most dogs quickly learn it means walk's over and it's time to get cosy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Big Pet Shop","offers":[{"title":"Forest Green \/ Small","offer_id":66131790725469,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRN-S","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forest Green \/ Medium","offer_id":66131790758237,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRN-M","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forest Green \/ Large","offer_id":66131790791005,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRN-L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forest Green \/ XL","offer_id":66131790823773,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRN-XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate Brown \/ Small","offer_id":66131790856541,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BRN-S","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate Brown \/ Medium","offer_id":66131790889309,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BRN-M","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate Brown \/ Large","offer_id":66131790922077,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BRN-L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate Brown \/ XL","offer_id":66131790954845,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BRN-XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue \/ Small","offer_id":66131790987613,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BLU-S","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue \/ Medium","offer_id":66131791020381,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BLU-M","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue \/ Large","offer_id":66131791053149,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BLU-L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue \/ XL","offer_id":66131791085917,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-BLU-XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Grey \/ Small","offer_id":66131791118685,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRY-S","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Grey \/ Medium","offer_id":66131791151453,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRY-M","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Grey \/ Large","offer_id":66131791184221,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRY-L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Grey \/ XL","offer_id":66131791216989,"sku":"TBPS-DRYOFF-GRY-XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/6473\/3021\/files\/hf_20261006_102457_67f0c9a4-08cd-43b8-9581-d615d88d8d65.png?v=1791298630","url":"https:\/\/thebigpetshop.com\/products\/the-big-dry-off-classic-microfibre-dog-drying-coat","provider":"The Big Pet Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
