the dog thoroughly and then use a square of silk or knitted fabric that
moulds to the dogs body, draping over the back, and pinning with safety pin

Hi Jeannie,
I too have had cavaliers for around 30 years. Most of my dogs, as you
probably have seen, have very straight, flat coats and yet the Drying Coats
have revolutionised my pre-show day life!! I used to use the old fashioned
methods too - draping, pinning this that and the next thing - so much hassle
and I would never have felt comfortable leaving the dog unattended in those
"make shift" contraptions.
As I say, the drying coats have changed my life. They fit the entire dog
perfectly, allow the coat to breathe, are safe to leave on the dog either
caged or free, can be used either whilst drying or after drying, to give a
lovely sleek finish and most importantly for me (who likes EVERY hair lying
perfectly but doesn't have much time), once I put the coat on, I don't have
to do ANYTHING - I can just get on with other things while the dog is drying
and hey presto - perfect presentation!!!
