A little guidance
Help choosing dog blankets
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page gathers blankets for dogs and cats: soft fleece and flannel throws, reversible quilted sherpa blankets, calming bubble-plush blankets, small fluffy puppy blankets, medium blankets around 40 inches, non-slip seat cushions, waterproof furniture and bed covers, and reversible warming and cooling mats. They suit beds, couches, crates and car seats. The guide below explains which blanket suits which job, how to size it and how to keep it clean.
What a dog blanket is for
A blanket does several jobs. It adds warmth and softness to a bed or crate, protects furniture and car seats from hair and dirt, and carries familiar smells that help a dog settle in a new place. Many dogs love to dig and nest in a blanket before lying down, which a loose throw allows.
For new puppies, a blanket that smells of home can make the first nights easier. For travel, a familiar blanket in a hotel room or at the vet gives a sense of security. That is why most dog owners end up with more than one.
Fleece, flannel and sherpa
Fleece is light, warm, inexpensive and dries quickly, which makes it the everyday choice. Flannel is soft and breathable, suited to dogs who get warm easily. Quilted sherpa has a thick, curly pile on one side that traps warmth, ideal for winter and short-coated dogs.
Calming bubble-plush blankets have a textured, raised surface that some dogs enjoy kneading and burrowing into. They are soft, but no blanket can treat anxiety on its own, so pair a comfortable spot with routine and training if your dog is stressed.
Waterproof and cooling options
Waterproof blankets have a liquid-resistant backing that protects the mattress or sofa underneath. They suit puppies, senior dogs with occasional leaks, droolers and dogs who come in wet. Reversible designs give a soft side for comfort and a wipeable side for messy days.
Reversible warming and cooling mats have a plush side for winter and a smooth, cool side for summer. Non-slip seat cushions stay in place on car seats and hard floors. Our dog couch covers page has more options designed specifically for sofas.
Choosing the right size
Small blankets around 30 inches suit toy breeds, puppies and cats, and fit inside small crates. Medium blankets around 40 by 30 inches suit medium dogs or cover a dog bed. Large dogs and couch protection need larger throws, so measure the bed or seat you want to cover.
For crates, a blanket slightly larger than the crate floor can be folded or tucked so it does not bunch up. Avoid long fringes or loose threads with dogs who chew, since swallowed fabric can cause a blockage.
Washing and care
Wash dog blankets every week or two, more often in shedding season. Shake them outside or run a lint roller over them first so hair does not clog the washing machine. Use a mild, unscented detergent, since strong fragrance can irritate some dogs' skin.
Dry fleece and sherpa on low heat to keep them soft, and air-dry waterproof blankets to protect the backing. Replace blankets that develop holes or loose threads, especially for puppies and chewers who might swallow pieces.
Do dogs need blankets?
Many dogs enjoy them, especially small, short-coated and senior dogs who feel the cold. Blankets also protect furniture and help dogs settle in new places by carrying familiar smells.
What blanket material is best for dogs?
Fleece is warm, light and washable, flannel is breathable, and sherpa is the warmest for winter. Choose waterproof blankets for puppies, seniors and wet dogs.
Is it safe to put a blanket in a dog crate?
Yes for most dogs. Choose a durable blanket without loose threads or fringes, and remove it if your dog chews and swallows fabric. Puppies may need a chew-resistant crate mat instead.
How often should I wash my dog's blanket?
Every one to two weeks is a good routine, more often during shedding season or after muddy walks. Remove loose hair first and use a mild, unscented detergent.
Can my cat use a dog blanket?
Yes. Most blankets on this page are sold for dogs and cats alike. Cats often prefer small, soft fleece or sherpa throws placed on a sofa, a windowsill or a cat bed, and many will claim a dog's blanket the moment it is laid down in a sunny spot.
