But with this boundless love for water came a never-ending challenge: keeping Troy, and my home, dry. Every day, I found myself reaching for whatever towel was nearest—old beach towels, bath towels, even kitchen rags—anything to wipe his mouth after he drank, to dry his paws after a walk, or to soak up the water after a swim. None of these options were up to the task. They were either too thin, not absorbent enough, or simply not durable enough to withstand Troy’s constant need for drying. It became clear that despite the vast array of pet products on the market, there was a glaring lack of high-quality, purpose-built towels for dogs.
