Dog blankets – when and how to use them
A dog blanket is one of the simplest ways to give your dog a soft place of its own – at home, in the car or when travelling. Here we go through when a dog blanket comes in handy, which material suits and what to consider before you choose.
When do you use a dog blanket?
A dog blanket works in several ways, and many people use the same blanket in several situations:
- In the dog bed: as an extra soft layer or to make the bed warmer.
- On the sofa or bed: a protective cover for furniture that is easy to wash or brush clean.
- In the car: a place of its own to lie that protects the car seats.
- When travelling, at the office or visiting: a familiar spot where your dog can rest wherever you are.
- On hard floors: a softer surface to rest on.
Which material suits?
Faux fur (Webpelz) gives a soft, fluffy feel and is easy to take with you. Teddy fabric is warm and cosy and comes in a lightly padded version with an integrated pocket. Cord has a timeless look and a non-slip underside with nubs that helps the blanket stay in place on smooth floors.
Choose the right size
Choose a blanket your dog can stretch out on. The Cord dog blanket measures 100 × 70 cm, and the Webpelz, Teddy and Travel Blanket come in several sizes. See the size chart on each product page.
Care
Brush the blanket clean when needed and spot-clean stains gently. Let it dry thoroughly before using it again. Follow the care instructions on the product page for the model you choose.
Our dog blankets
