If you have ever come home from a beach walk with a soggy, sandy dog and a car that looks like a sandpit, you will understand exactly why I created our Will and Wind Dog Towels. Living by the coast in Queensland, our weekends are a mix of beach swims, dog parks and family road trips. Between the boys, the dog and all the gear that comes with them, it can get messy fast. I wanted something simple that actually made life easier.
Inspired by Coastal Life
For ages, I used our multi towels to dry the dog after swims because they are so absorbent and dry so quickly. Then I realised our four legged mates deserve their own version. That is how the dog towel range began, born from everyday adventures and a desire to keep things clean without losing the fun.
Sustainable, Quick Dry and Easy to Use
Our dog towels use the same high performance rPET microfibre as the rest of our range, created from recycled plastic bottles. They are lightweight, super absorbent and dry up to four times faster than cotton. They also resist odours, which means no lingering wet dog smell in the car. Each towel gives plastic a second life and helps keep waste out of landfill. It feels good knowing a small daily choice can do some good for the places we love.
Beautiful Designs with a Purpose
Because this is Will and Wind, the towels look beautiful too. The photographic designs are inspired by real Australian coastlines, from reef blues to sun warmed sands. If I am wiping down a muddy kelpie after a sprint through the dog park, it might as well look good while I am doing it. The towels roll small and stash easily, and every one comes in a handy drawstring bag so you can keep the rest of your gear clean.
Perfect for Beach Trips, Dog Parks and Everyday Life
Real life tested features matter most. After a swim or park session, a quick shake and rinse is usually all it takes to clean the towel, and it will be dry again before the next outing. The fabric is soft on fur and skin, which helps when your dog is wriggly or a little anxious about drying time. I keep one in the boot and another by the back door for hose downs after garden adventures.
Pair with Car Seat Towels for a Cleaner Ride Home
My favourite combo is pairing a dog towel with one of our Car Seat Towels. Together they make the perfect team. The dog towel does the drying, and the Car Seat Towel protects your seats from the shake off that always happens the second you open the door. Taking the dog to the park or beach suddenly feels less messy and less painful. No sand explosions, no soggy seats, and no scramble for old bath towels that never quite dry.
How Our Towels Are Made
Sustainability sits at the heart of everything we make. If you want to see how we turn recycled plastic bottles into soft, durable yarn, take a look at Behind the Beach Towels. It shows the whole journey from bottle to thread to towel, which is the same process behind our dog towels. I love that our customers can choose gear that performs well and also lines up with their values.
Made for People Who Love the Outdoors
These towels are made for people who live outside. The ones who camp at the beach, walk before sunrise, swim at the local creek and throw boards in the back for a quick session. If that is you, you will get the appeal straight away. The dog towels are compact, tough and good looking. They make that moment after the park or beach so much cleaner and less chaotic, which means more time enjoying the fun and less time cleaning up after it.
Everyday Versatility You Will Love
I hear the same thing from customers all the time. They buy a dog towel for their pet, then use it for everything. Drying kids after a dip. Wiping down boards. Keeping one in the caravan for quick clean ups. That versatility is what I love most about Will and Wind. Practical sustainability that fits real life and looks the part while it does it.
Ready for Your Next Adventure
So next time you plan a morning at the beach or a lap of the dog park, grab a Will and Wind Dog Towel. Pair it with a Car Seat Towel and the trip home will be simpler, cleaner and a lot less stressful. Your dog will still find every puddle and wave. You just will not mind as much.
