Can dogs use weighted calming blankets?

Some dogs enjoy gentle blanket weight during supervised rest. Choose an appropriate size, make sure the dog can move away freely, and remove the blanket if the dog seems hot, restricted, stressed, or uncomfortable.

Is a weighted pet blanket safe for senior dogs?

A weighted pet blanket may be suitable for some senior dogs during calm, supervised rest, but it should never restrict movement or breathing. Senior pets with weakness, pain, breathing problems, overheating, or new behavior changes should be checked by a veterinarian.

How do I choose the right size weighted pet blanket?

Use the product size guide and choose a blanket that fits the rest area without covering the pet too heavily. The pet should be able to turn, stand, and move away from the blanket without help.

Can I use a weighted pet blanket in a crate?

Yes, a weighted pet blanket can be used in a crate during supervised quiet time if the crate has enough space, airflow, and an easy exit routine. Remove it if the pet chews, bunches the blanket, pants, or avoids the crate.
