I have a golden retriever and I live in Seattle. You can imagine what I am dealing with. Does this towel do the trick? How long does it take to dry?

We have three dogs, Fiest (short hair) Lab/Border Collie {lota hair) and Australian cattle dog (70 lbs) they live in house in ETX and it rains a lot in winter an spring, I hang our Shammy on hook in utility rm and wipe all three as they come in all day long in inclimate weather and it works, just wipe hang to dry and launder as needed to be ready for nxt go-a-round. Really soaks up the moisture and the dogs stand in line for fluff-dry! klr

Yes, it works, but depending on the size of the dog. We have a Bichon, so it's 5 to 7 minutes after a bath. He weighs 10 lbs.

I also have a golden retriever - this towel is very good at drying and also getting dirt out of their paws - BUT - I wash and dry it almost daily - I love the towel so I ended up buying two - I use it with the paw plunger (this has been GREAT)

You will love it! I have a lab mix and 2 greyhounds and they all line for me to dry their feet and body off! I have never dried them from a bath where they are soaking wet. I have one spot in my yard where the water collects from all the rain we have had and they get muddy and it just absorbs all the mud and the water. When I first got it I really didn't expect much but I was very pleased with how well it worked and you don't have to use a bunch of your towels. I use one for all three dogs. It usually takes me about 5 minutes a dog to get them cleaned up! They like the massaging and stand there for more (It has pockets on each end you can put your hands in and cover more territory. I would think it would take you a little longer to dry your golden off but at least he/she won't be dripping through the house. I've washed mine about 25 times now and it still looks new! I hope that helps you decide - good luck! Betty Parks

This towel should work for you and it is better than any other that I have tried. It is perfect for drying off after a walk in the rain. After a cleaning, 4-5 minutes of rubbing the pup down will leave him just slightly damp. I use it with our German Shepherd and it does a great job drying the thick layers of fur. Hope you like it as much as I have!

I too live in Seattle and keep this shammy in my car for quick dry offs after frolicking in the park. IMHO it does indeed do the trick even with our heavy rains lately. I also have one of the big mats that I keep buy the back door for wet muddy paws. It is amazing the stuff the mat collects. BTW my dog is an aussie/malamute mix so tons and tons of fur.

We have an 18 lb. Tibetan Spaniel. Works great on his paws. I like it better than the bath towel we were using. Washes well, too.

I really like the towel but I don't think that this would be your best option. If in a jam, I think it would work.

The towel does dry fairly quickly and it pains me to say this because there isn't much I order from Amazon that I'm not 5 stars without a doubt. This towel seems more suited for the kitchen and wiping down the countertop of course after you cut the bath towel down. I don't have dry hands at all and this towel constantly grabs onto my hands when using it and becomes almost an a nuisance. It's as if I had all these uneven nails or super qdry/cracked hands, when if fact it is the total opposit. I DO NOT recommend this towel at all and especially at the asking price. I hope this helps.

I soak my westie paws for only 2 mins and it works for him, and me ,keeping him in the soaking tub any longer can be trying...he-he . Bottom line it's up to u.

Yes, it is very good. It takes me 35 minutes to dry my Havanese, which is very good!

From my experience it absorbs fast. It dries out moderately slow. If wet from stepping out of a shower, probably several hours to dry minimum. If washed, I dry it in my dryer for 1hour med heat and lay it out rubber side up for 30+ min for rubber backing to dry.

I have a German Shepherd that I take to a dog park with a lake. He gets hosed off and dried a little with a towel. But he is still pretty wet and from what I can tell the seat cover keeps my leather seats dry. You can tell when it is wet because of color but it dries fast too.

I'm not sure as I've not left it on more as long as eight hours, but my towel was dry by the end of the day, due to the air circulating around it. I'd put mine in at least an hour before showering, and it was quite warm by the time I used it. Hope that helps.

No, the humidity turns the towel to mush in a matter of a day or less. The parts are easy to clean... I would recommend just following the regular process.

Deanokat is correct that the label says to soak thoroughly before washing (I usually find that works) and unfortunately the manufacturer is closed until Jan 3rd (877-880-8855=8 in 1 Pet Products or the site www.ilovenatursmiracle.com). I would soak it and not use the actual product in the washer. Great question by the way! Ruth

It will definitely work. Just allow a few minutes for it to dry. Once it dries, your good to go!

It is VERY sticky and wet, but does dry eventually. it does take a little while to dry.

As a fellow dog owner, I feel these would be too small to dry your fuzzy pal. I like using a large bath towel to drape over my dog and hug dry.

You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing. We're working on it and he has been more cooperative. I make a ridiculously big deal out of any success ( including his favorite yrea, And I tell him how bad he is when he tears things up (clearly for fun). If you can muster the patience, AND you use the right absorbant pads, it does work. Be careful what pad you use, Four Paws WeeWee pads are AWFUL. found some really heavy duty pads made by a small company - look up the name, "Value Pet Supplies." They actually helped me ! the pads they make are far better than others I tried. Good luck. You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing.

I used to be on swim team and when I got this towel all I could think was "this would have been SO COOL for swim team"!! I use it for everyday showering, but and it dries my hair fast, and the towel itself dries quickly too so my thought is that it would dry out quickly even if you are getting in and out of the pool. The other thing I REALLY like is that it is small and lightweight but warm. The one thing I might be concerned about would be color fade with the chlorine, but I would also guess that it probably wouldn't make any more of a difference than with any other towel. Anyway, hope this helps, good luck with swim team!
