Most dog blankets should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on how heavily they’re used and how well they wash. If your dog’s blanket smells even after washing, is torn, or causes irritation, it’s probably time to treat your pet to a fresh, soft blanket.
We’re often asked by fellow dog owners: “how frequently should you replace your dog’s blanket?” The truth is, it depends on a few key signs.
For some, it will be a financial decision, but with the great value dog blankets we supply at Dog Accessories UK, that’s not really a valid excuse if you love your pet.
Key signs it’s time to replace the dog blanket
There are many aspects to take into consideration if you think your pet’s blanket has seen better days. These include:
- Stains from heavy use or accidents
- Ingrained hair that won’t wash out
- Faded colours through excessive washing
- Your dog itches or seems uncomfortable after use
- The blanket is visibly torn or damaged in some way
- There is a strong lingering smell, even after cleaning
If you notice any of the above, it’s a good moment to browse our selection of affordable dog blankets starting from just £7.99!
Why buy multiple dog blankets?
Because blankets are relatively inexpensive, we recommend buying 2 or 3 of the same design that your dog loves. That way:
- You avoid missing out if a favourite design goes out of stock
- You can rotate blankets regularly to extend their lifespan
- Your dog always has a fresh, clean blanket ready to go
At Dog Accessories UK, our dog blankets combine both quality and value, helping you truly care for your pet without breaking the bank.
