The REAL reason that your dog towels smell...

If you’ve ever dried your dog with a normal 'human' bath towel (lets be honest, we have all done this), you’ll know the problem; the lingering wet dog smell that just won’t go away, even after the towel has been washed.

But why does this happen?

There is a reason, and it can be solved...

Standard “human” towels are made with long, soft cotton fibres designed to be soft on our skin. While they feel great for us, they act like a magnet for dog hair.

When you dry your dog, loose fur gets trapped deep in the towel fibres, holding onto moisture, bacteria, and odours.

That trapped fur is what causes that stubborn damp dog smell—even after the towel has been washed.

A Bark and Beau microfibre dog towel solves this problem.

Unlike traditional towels, microfibre materials:

• Don’t trap dog hair as easily

• Absorb water much faster

• Dry quickly, reducing damp smells

Because microfibre dries so efficiently, it also prevents that musty, wet towel smell from developing.

Every Dog Owner Needs a Dog-Specific Towel

Using a towel designed for dogs makes drying quicker, cleaner, and far more hygienic. And by using one of our Bark and Beau towels, you can dry wriggly dogs with less chaos than a normal bathtowel. If you have read our first blog post, you will understand why we know this problem well!

Whether you’ve been caught in the rain, back from a muddy walk, or finishing bath time, a microfibre dog towel is a must-have for every dog owner—especially during the UK’s wetter months.
