Taking care of mental health isn’t just something that’s important for humans. PetMD points out that dogs are just as susceptible to extreme fear and anxiety as humans.

What does this have to do with whether you should buy a blanket for your pet?

There’s pretty conclusive evidence about the positive effects of a good blanket on mental health. This review of psychological studiesdone on the subject shows that weighted blankets can aid in sleeplessness, for instance.

Getting your pet a blanket is an investment in taking care of them and their emotional health. It can mean the difference between having a happy or irritable four-legged companion.

For Your New Friend

New pets are generally quite guarded when you first bring them to your home, regardless of their age.

Have you ever wondered why your pet is obsessed with that one toy or blanket that you got them when they first came to your house?

This is because pets form attachments to things that make them feel safe and loved just like we do. There’s nothing like a warm blanket to make your new pet feel like they’re going to be alright in those sensitive initial days.

The Benefits

Blankets not only help your pet sleep better, they can also be their comfort when they’re anxious. Especially during 4thof July celebrations, dogs can get terrified because of the loud fireworks. A good blanket is exactly what they need for times like this.

Some breeds are very sensitive to temperature fluctuations. If it gets really cold in the winter, buy your pet a blanket so that they can huddle inside it. Pet blankets are an investment in protecting your pet from conditions like hypothermia.

What You Need to Know

People hesitate in buying their pets a blanket because they worry that it’ll be torn to shreds in a few weeks. While animals do like to play around with their blankets—cats love chewing on yarn!—if you buy the right material, a blanket can last for years.

Microfiber and fleece blankets are generally preferable when it comes to buying for your pet. These materials are durable enough. Even if pets rough house them, they’ll survive the ordeal. They are easy to care for because they are machine wash and dry. They also do not absorb odors so this is great for the wet pets after they come in from a romp in the rain or snow.

Everyone—including our pets—deserves a comfortable, warm blanket to sleep on or under. When looking for pet blankets, look for a brand that is known for high quality products because you will want one that stands the test of time.  Try the following when considering a high quality pet product.
