| Microfiber towel for yorkies? When you bathe your Yorkie what kind of towel do you use? I got a set of two towels for dogs (it was marketed for dogs though i guess anyone could use them lol) and they are microfiber towels. I wanted to know if those are good for Yorkies or if any towel will do? I know microfiber towels cause less frizz in human hair (especially naturally curly hair like mine) but I was wondering if it has the same benefits for Yorkies or if I'm better off buying regular human towels. |

| I prefer a really good cotton towel. Since Yorkies have silky hair, it's best not to rub with the towel. I wrap my boys in one and hold them for a couple of minutes and change towels.

| Ralph Lauren I use the towels from the master bath at my last house, as I don't have those colors in my current home...so ZoE got them. I get the concept of microfiber towels, but, personally, I can't stand the feel of them.

| Well I use both a cotton towel when I first get Chloe out of the water and then a put the furminater fur dry on Chloe. It's made of microfiber and wraps on and around her from her head to her tail. She gets to run all around the house not getting anything wet. LOL didn't think it was going to work but it does like a charm! By the time I set up Chloe's little grooming table and get the hairdryer out she's a little damp and ready to groom. To me it really cut drying time in half. |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | I dont know of an benefit in using them for your Yorkies. My sister uses them for her grooming business, but she also uses reg ol bath towels too. I cant stand the feel of them either, they just give me the willies when my dry skin gets caught on them. I just use reg. 100% bath towels.

| i use the microfiber towels too. I don't like the feel of them, but they act like a wick for moisture. Cuts dry time way down.

| Thanks everyone. I agree I hate the feel of them but at least for my hair I see benefits. I'll stick with them since I already bought them but if they don't work out I'll just get a regular towel. |
