Why we chose it

A dry-cleaning product fills a genuine gap between full baths, especially for a dog that struggles with being bathed at all. It's also aimed at groomers doing hand-stripping specifically, which is a more specific use case than most all-purpose grooming sprays bother with.

— Matt, founder

Size guide & how to measure

Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.

How to measure

Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.

Size	Typical back length	Typical chest
XS	20–25 cm	30–40 cm
S	25–32 cm	38–50 cm
M	32–40 cm	48–62 cm
L	40–50 cm	60–76 cm
XL	50–60 cm	74–92 cm

Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description

Bathing a dog isn't always the right answer between full grooms, and a dry-cleaning product does a different job entirely — lifting dirt and adding shine without wetting the coat down.

Hatchwells' White Chalk Block is described as a natural product for dry-cleaning, said to bring up a good shine on the coat, and it's aimed at animals that either don't need a full bath yet or don't tolerate being bathed well. Hatchwells note it also helps groomers during hand-stripping, and it's made in Great Britain with what they describe as a super-soft formula.

Who it's for: owners between full baths, or grooming a dog that doesn't tolerate bathing well, and groomers hand-stripping a coat who want a chalk aid for the job.
