Ensemble it in three easy steps and then attach the steel chain to your dog’s collar and voila! While you can purchase ones that are designed for larger dog breeds, this version is ideal for smaller breeds like yorkies, Pomeranians, poodles, teddies, bichon frises and shih tzus.

4. PetCo, Well & Good Bunny Hooded Dog Towel, $17.99 – $21.99
