β€” Kari

"This is a very nice thin blanket. Since my dog doesn’t have a problem with bugs, I can’t be sure if the blanket is preventing any problems or not. However, there is no smell as from any bug repellent and the blanket is nice and smooth."

β€” Alfred

"I bought two of them; I think the blanket attracts fleas."

Bottom Line

Consider this blanket if you need a thin and smooth blanket but be cautious about its bug repellent claims. It's best used indoors and may not be suitable for outdoor environments or areas with a high concentration of insects.
