Just as humans have to be comfortable and snuggly when going to bed, dogs have to be too. As a person, you definitely don’t want a raggedy, scratchy blanket that will keep you tossing and turning all night long, no. What you want is a soft, snuggly, warm and convenient blanket that will keep you warm and toasty. The same applies to your canine baby.

Dog blankets have the same features as human blankets, but some of them are made with specific features for canines like for example, some blankets are chewing-resistant while some are water-resistant.

Terminal Illnesses in Dogs

The Heartbreaking Reality of Common Terminal Illnesses in Dogs

Getting a blanket for your dog does not only favor your pet, it favors you too because it can protect your furniture from shedding hair.

The major things to consider when choosing a dog blanket are:

The Materials Used in Making the Blanket

Before you purchase a blanket for your mutt, one important thing you must take into consideration is the material used to make the blanket. Dog blankets are preferably made from fleece.

Fleece is a plush, soft material that provides the warmth and comfort dogs need.

If you are aiming for complete protection, you should get a dog blanket made from microfiber. This material is long-lasting and thin. It’s not as plush as fleece.

The Function of the Blanket

Dog blankets are made with two major functions in mind; to offer comfort and to offer protection.

Blankets made for the comfort of your furry baby are usually smaller in size and super soft and fluffy. They are used to keep your dog warm through all weather types and they are especially necessary during the winter.

Dog Blankets

Dog blankets made for protection are as important to dog owners as they are to dogs. These blankets are used to protect household furniture and rugs from shedding hairs, dirt, and excess clawing. You drape protection blankets over your upholstery, rug, or even your car seat when going on a trip to avoid messes or tears.

Is It Waterproof?

Waterproof dog blankets are used to keep your furniture and rugs dry regardless of how wet your dog is. These blankets are necessary to keep dogs from leaking through to your furniture maybe due to an accident, and they are quite important when going on a road trip with your dog.

But you should note that waterproof blankets, although very handy, are not as cozy, fluffy, and soft as other types of blankets. Your dog will most likely prefer a fleece blanket to a waterproof blanket.

Size of the Blanket

As funny as it sounds, size does matter when it comes to selecting a blanket for your canine companion. Some dogs just want to lay on the blanket and rest. While others want to knead the blanket, burrow, and wrap themselves in the blanket like a burrito. Before you get a blanket for your canine bay, you should study its habits to know the perfect size to get.

If your dog loves to turn itself into a living burrito, you should get a blanket that has more material and can be folded multiple times. But, if your dog just loves to relax on the blanket, you could get a regular-sized dog blanket; nothing too big.

Design of the Blanket

Dog blankets come in a lot of colorful designs and patterns. The majority come with canine-inspired designs like paw prints, bones, dog faces, balls, etc. When selecting a blanket, you could go for one that matches the decor of your home if you don’t have a specific design in mind.

But to add a little more spice, you could get a personalised dog blanket particular to just yourself and your canine. This type of blanket will be pawfect for your dog.

The Thickness of the Blanket

Before you decide on a blanket for your pet, you should take into consideration the breed of dog you own. Small dogs and dogs with short furs tend to get colder than bigger dogs and hairier dogs.

Hence, you should get a blanket that is suitable for your dog type.

There are several other factors you could take into consideration when getting a blanket for your dog, but the ones noted above are pretty major. If you still can’t make up your mind, Furfull personalised dog blankets are the best choice for you. They provide a selection of lovely personalized dog blankets guaranteed to make you and your furry friend happy and content.
