How is a shammy different from a regular dog towel?

A shammy (or chamois) is a synthetic absorbent material that works like a sponge — it pulls water off your dog's coat on contact rather than just pushing it around like a fluffy towel. The Rubyloo Dog Drying Shammy uses Rapid Dry Technology to absorb water faster than cotton or microfiber, cutting drying time roughly in half. It's the same concept as a pro car chamois, applied to dog drying.

Why does the shammy feel stiff when dry?

That's completely normal — it's how synthetic chamois materials work. The shammy is designed to be used damp, not dry. If it hardens after air-drying, simply rinse it briefly in warm water to restore its softness and full absorbency. It will be ready to use immediately.

Can I use this as a cooling towel?

Yes — the shammy doubles as a cooling towel. Apply it damp to your dog's coat after summer hikes, beach days, or any time they need to cool down. The damp material helps draw heat away from the body while also absorbing excess moisture.

Is the shammy machine washable?

Yes — the Rubyloo Dog Drying Shammy is machine washable and built to maintain its absorbency through many wash cycles. It also sanitizes easily, which is why it's popular with professional groomers who need to reuse towels throughout the day.

Should I get the 1-pack or 2-pack?

The 1-pack ($19.95) is great for single-dog households and everyday use. The 2-pack ($34.95) is ideal for groomers, multi-dog households, or anyone who wants a backup — one in use while the other dries. The 2-pack works out to $17.48 per shammy, saving you about $2.50 per towel.

Not a Towel. A Shammy. There's a Difference.

Regular towels push water around. The Rubyloo Dog Drying Shammy absorbs it — fast. Made with Rapid Dry Technology, this synthetic chamois works like a pro car shammy: used damp, it pulls water off your dog's coat on contact. Wring it out, go again. Groomer-approved and built for dogs who hate the blow dryer.

How It Works

Important: The shammy works when it's damp, not dry. If it hardens after air-drying (totally normal), rinse briefly in warm water to restore softness and full absorbency. It's always ready to go — just add water.
