Title: End of muddy Paw Problems? - Doggy Dri bags???????
Post by: daviest on January 16, 2004, 06:41:00 PM
I am enquiring as to whether anyone has any experience of the doggy  dri bags.  These are zip up bags that you can put your wet muddy dog into for 20 mins and they come out clean, warm and dry?   These look like the anwser to all those muddy wet floor problems. My 7 month old Phoebe will insist on climbing on my cream and mud coloured conservatory chairs after her walks.  Please help :x

We have 2 dry bags for Boysie. They are great for using in the back of the car (after a muddy walk), and also after a bath or when he has come home wet / muddy. It did take him a little while to get used to it - though it was funny watching him try and walk when he was in it. He is now resigned to his fate when he sees it - as long as he isn't left alone he will settle down nicely for the 20 minutes or so it takes for him to dry. He loves it when he is free again!
The only minor 'problem' we have is with the size- the ones we have are really aimed at Springer size, but the smaller size seemed too small. He does have a fair amount of room to spare!

Soz ... got carried away ... only cos we're keen on investing in one, rather than a home made towel wrap that tends to fall off anyway! Doh!
We've found CS just can not go outside without finding even the smallest amount of water to paddle in and drag his ears through ... and the bigger & muddier the better!!  :roll:

:D Thanx for that T!!  Aww they look like they are about to have a perm done :D   I might invest in one of those though, I think they are an excellent idea.  Wish I could sew, would save a fortune!

We got ours from Waggers - but only because it was the only place we could find selling them at the time.  They do lots of other stuff as well, such as water bowls that don't spill even if turned upside down! (used to be Boysie's favourite trick if he thought he had been left alone too long).

Thanks for all your advise.  After another muddy weekend I will be making my purchase very soon.
