— Charity

"All 3 dogs love it, and they don't try to chew it or even rearrange it. It's set on top of a dog bed. It's helping to keep the dog bed in one piece as we have a digger. Looking at getting another for our car (aka dog limo)"

— Christine

"The blanket was more of a lap pad than a blanket and it was very thin. I'm hoping to return."

Bottom Line

We recommend this blanket if you value longevity and comfort for your pet, but be prepared for a premium price.
