A dog blanket protects a couch or bed from fur, dirt and accidents and gives your dog a soft place to lie. The things to compare are size, whether it has a waterproof layer, how it washes and whether it is reversible. A waterproof layer can make the blanket less breathable, so think about how it will be used.
The six blankets below range from a 41 by 31 inch set of three small blankets to a 60 by 80 inch throw. Sizes, fabrics and care come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these blankets with a dog ourselves, and we make no behavior or health claims; the listings include calming wording that we leave out.
