Our baby got particularly wet after drooling and being sick on the way to a show and then it was raining heavily when we got to there - equals a wet long coat to dry off before her class!

I've seen people with hair dryers at shows - do you seek out power points or have rechargeble dryers?  If so, where can I get a recharge from?

The ones I've seen using them were in sports halls so there were plugs (one was using straighteners too).

It was raining at our breed show last weekend, luckerly I had just brought my girl a new coat, she doesn't like the rain and walking about shows when the floor was wet her chest and belly would get soaked so I got a coat that goes under the chest too so she stays much dryer, but I've seen people at shows with long coated breeds like afgans in full body coats, and some with boots and hoods too.

I have oes and if it is raining will use a made to measure full trouser suit and Pawz rubber boots as I don't find the fabric ones very good.  However for drooling wet, splashed wee etc, or if it is just wet underfoot rather than raining (when I would only out the boots on and not the suit) I find that Plush Puppy Powder Puff applied liberally with a large cosmetic brush to coat squeezed as dry as possible with a towel, left in as long as possible and then COMPLETELY brushed out is great for drying off even very wet areas of coat.  Potato flour and cornstarch are other alternatives but plush puppy is brilliant and will get even fairly dirty wet feet looking great again.

Thank you, I will look for the plush puppy.  I had got talc which helped

We are stockists for the paws boots so have those and she has a suit but unfortunately was not wearing it at the time as I thought we had improved from the sucky phase!
