A blanket is the most flexible comfort item you can buy. It layers over a bed the dog already uses, protects a sofa from hair, travels to the car or a holiday let, and gives a dog something familiar-smelling in an unfamiliar place. For the price it does more jobs than any single bed.
Key Benefits
- Layers over an existing bed for extra warmth
- Protects sofas and car seats from hair
- Carries a familiar scent when travelling
- Light enough for a dog to burrow under
- Machine washable and quick to dry
- Cheap enough to keep several around the house
Best For
- Layering over an existing bed in winter
- Sofa and car seat protection
- Travel and overnight stays
- Dogs that burrow under covers
- Crate lining
How It Works
Drape it over whatever the dog already sleeps on rather than replacing anything. Dogs that burrow will work their way underneath, which is normal. Wash it with the dog own bedding rather than household laundry to keep the familiar scent that makes it useful when travelling.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Extremely versatile, very cheap, washes and dries fast, and it is the simplest way to warm up a bed the dog already likes.
Cons: It is thin and provides no cushioning or support on its own. Fluffy fabric sheds fibres in the first few washes and clings to hair, and a dog that digs at bedding will pull it into a heap rather than lying on it.
Things to Consider
- No padding or support, so it is a layer rather than a bed
- Sheds fibres in the first few washes
- Diggers will bunch it up rather than lie flat on it
- Wash with the dog bedding to preserve the familiar scent
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
