Wickaway Dog Cover 40cm — Black with Pink Trim | Wicking Drying Coat by Zeberdee

Wet dog, wet car, wet couch — sound familiar? The Zeberdee Wickaway is the easy fix. Slip it on after a bath, beach swim or rainy walk and let the wicking fabric do the towelling for you.

The Zeberdee Wickaway Dog Cover does something a towel simply can't: it actively pulls moisture away from your dog's coat and lets it evaporate off the outer surface.

The fabric is a clever wicking material with an insulating layer built in. It won't soak up water like a towel does — instead, the moisture wicks through the fabric, beads on the outside, and dries off. You can literally see it working. Your dog stays warm and comfortable while drying off faster than they would with any towel-wrestling routine.

40cm back length makes this size ideal for Medium breeds — French Bulldogs, Fox Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers, smaller (female) Staffordhsire Bull Terriers, smaller (female) Bull Terriers, Miniture Bull Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. (Measure from base of neck to base of tail to check fit.)

The black body with pink trim is a classic combo — smart enough for the car seat, bold enough not to lose in the back of a wet ute.

There's a quiet sustainability story here too. Zeberdee is a Canterbury family operation that makes premium horse covers, and they turn their leftover specialist fabric into these dog covers — zero waste, real Kiwi resourcefulness.

Perfect for:

• Drying off after a bath (no more wet-dog-shake everywhere)
• Post-swim recovery — beach, river, lake
• After a rainy walk before getting in the car
• Travel rug — soft, lightweight, warm without being bulky
• Crate or vet visit comfort

FAQs

How does the Wickaway actually dry my dog? The fabric is a specialist wicking material with an insulating layer — designed to pull moisture from your dog's coat through the fabric so it can evaporate from the outer surface. The fabric doesn't soak the water up like a towel does. You'll often see water beads forming on the outside as proof it's working. The result is a faster, warmer dry without the rubdown wrestle — your dog stays insulated while the moisture moves away from the skin.

What size dog does the 40cm Wickaway fit? The 40cm refers to the back length — base of neck to base of tail. It's sized for Medium breeds — French Bulldogs, Fox Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers, smaller (female) Staffordhsire Bull Terriers, smaller (female) Bull Terriers, Miniture Bull Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and similar. Measure your dog's back length before ordering

How is this better than just towelling my dog dry? Three ways. First, it dries the whole body at once — no chasing a wriggly dog around with a towel. Second, the fabric wicks moisture away rather than just blotting it, so coats dry faster and more evenly. Third, your dog stays warm during the process, which matters most for small breeds, older dogs, and short-coated breeds prone to post-swim chills. Pop it on, let them potter around for 20–30 minutes, take it off — done.

Care & Safety

Machine wash on a gentle cycle when it gets grubby — the fabric doesn't absorb water from its outer surface so it dries fast on the line. No tumble dryer needed. Supervise puppies and chewers (it's a drying coat, not a chew toy), and remove if your dog seems uncomfortable or tries to scratch it off.
