We use this towel been a few weeks. The dog likes it very well ... he can not get enough. It's really very easy to use, is very good to sit on their hands and sucks very well on. The size is for our dog (Jack Russel) absolutely enough. For larger quadrupeds You certainly need a larger version. We have not washed it. Hopefully it will then also so beautifully soft and absorbent. In any case, one can only recommend buying, go out especially for dog owners who well in all weathers.
