  We have a smooth collie who is about 80 pounds. Thank goodness she just jumps into the tub. When she jumps back out it takes multiple towels to get her dry enough to use the hair dryer. Yes, she really is a typical girl and does not mind the hair dryer at all. I bought this hoping it would absorb enough to get her dry without any additional towels. Did not work for Stella. Now, I am sure it would work for a small dog and is a very nice towel. If you have a small dog, go ahead and get it.
