Why Choose Our Towels?
Why Choose Bark and Beau Dog Drying Kit?
Because the adventure should be the messy part. Not the drying afterwards.
We know the type of dog.
The one who spots a puddle from fifty metres away. Who never needs a second invitation to go swimming. Who comes home from a brilliant walk looking extremely pleased with themselves — and absolutely soaking wet.
We wouldn't change a thing.
But trying to dry a wriggly, wet dog with an ordinary bath towel? That's one part of the adventure we'd happily make easier.
And that's exactly what Bark & Beau is here for.
The Difference is the Hand Pockets
Ever tried drying your dog while the towel keeps slipping out of your hands?
Our towels have two built-in hand pockets that give you a better grip and more control as you work around your dog. Even the really wriggly ones.
Simply slip your hands inside and get on with drying them without constantly stopping to gather up the towel.
No complicated gadgets. Just a practical feature that makes a real difference.
Absorbent Microfibre that Works
We've chosen soft, absorbent microfibre to help lift moisture from your dog's coat without the weight and bulk of a traditional bath towel.
It's lightweight, quick drying and machine washable at 40°C, making it a practical choice for dogs who enjoy getting wet regularly.
Keep one by the front door, in the boot of your car or ready for bath time.
Because with some dogs, the next muddy adventure is never far away.
Even the storage bag has a purpose
We don't believe in adding extras just for the sake of it.
That's why every Bark & Beau towel comes with a matching microfibre drawstring bag that doubles as a drying mitt.
Pop it over your hand to dry paws, around the ears, faces and those smaller, delicate areas that need a little extra attention.
Then use it to keep your clean, dry towel neatly stored between adventures.
Two useful drying tools. One practical kit.
Drying is about more than just removing moisture
Taking a few minutes to dry your dog by hand is also an opportunity to check them over after an adventure.
As you work around their coat, you might notice a small cut, a grass seed caught in their fur, a new lump or an area that's unusually sensitive.
It's a simple way to become more familiar with what's normal for your dog, while giving those often-missed areas some attention.
And if your dog already wears a drying robe? Brilliant. Our towels can work alongside it, helping you dry paws, legs and other areas a robe doesn't cover.
Original or XL? You choose
Not every dog — or owner — needs the same amount of towel.
Our Original measures 60cm × 100 cm and is a compact, practical choice for everyday drying.
Our XL measures 80cm × 130 cm, giving you 73% more drying space. It's ideal for larger dogs, longer or thicker coats, regular swimmers or anyone who prefers a more generous towel.
Both sizes offer the same useful hand pockets, absorbent microfibre and matching storage bag that doubles as a drying mitt.
It's not about one being better than the other. It's about finding the right fit for your dog.
A small Cornish business with a very wriggly dog
I'm Leanne, the person behind Bark & Beau.
The business began because drying Darcy, our German Shorthaired Pointer, used to be a two-person wrestling match; a husband and wife effort and a puppy causing absolute chaos.
Discovering towels with built-in hand pockets made the job so much easier, and I wanted to bring that same practicality to other dog owners.
I've put thought into the microfibre, sizes, colours and matching drying mitts we offer, because I believe every part of a product should earn its place.
And every order is still packed by me here in Cornwall.
