We’ve tried and tested many of the best dog blankets that will keep your pup warm and snug

Oh-so-soft and oh-so-snuggly, the OHS Pet Calming Fluffy Throw will help to create an inviting environment your dog won't ever want to leave. It has a fluffy-esque texture on one side that will feel ever so gentle against your pup's fur and skin, and on the other side, it has a soft backing.

As both sides are quite soft, you may find the blanket is a little slippy on hard floors if you've got a pup that makes a habit of taking all their bedding out of their bed. Our Senior Writer, Rosie Floyd, tested this blanket with her three pooches, Bella, Barney and Gina. The blanket is even the same colour as Bella the Cockapoo so on more than one occasion, she's mistaken the blanket for Bella because they both look equally as fluffy. She and the pups love how soft this blanket is, but because it is fluffy, it does shed little bits of fur around. However, if you're cleaning up after your pup's fur on a daily basis, adding some more to the mix won't make a difference. Rosie found that it maintained its softness even after washing it, too - what a winner!

Another super cosy option is the Doodlebone Faux Fur Dog Blanket. As you can imagine, being made from faux fur on one side and super-silky polyester on the other, it's blissfully soft, so it's ideal for keeping your pup comfortable and warm. As it's double-sided, it also feels nice and thick, which is paw-fect for snuggling, but some smaller dogs may find the thickness too heavy for them if they're wrapped up underneath it.

When testing this blanket, the thing that stood out for Rosie Floyd, our Senior Writer, is just how big this blanket is. Being 1 x 1.5 metres, it could easily cover an entire two-seater sofa but would be just as nice for your dog to lay on in the car, in their create all folded up, or in their dog bed scrunched up so your pup can bury themselves inside. Its overall size makes it a great option for big dogs, but smaller dogs will also like to curl up around it too.

For a lightweight blanket to keep your pooch comfy when you're on the move, consider the Slumberdown Washable Dog Blanket. It's made from a highly absorbent fabric and has a waterproof liner, too, so your soggy doggy and their muddy paw prints won't be an issue for your car seats anymore. It'll also help to dry your pooch in the process. As it's so lightweight, it's easy to roll up and fold away when not in use.

Our tester, Rosie Floyd, found the blanket is definitely one that's designed more with practicality in might than anything else. It's quite thin and not as soft as others she has tested with her pooches so it's not one for your pooch to stretch out and snuggle in. However, she's found that when taking Gina out in the car, it's helped her get settled more quickly as she's got something comfy to lie on, and it's also been super helpful for keeping the mud and dirt out of the car after taking Gina on walks during the Autumn months.

Think of the Silentnight Calming Sofa Protector Pet Bed as a hybrid dog blanket and bed. For the most part, it's a flat, snuggly blanket but then it's got bolstered sides that your pooch can lean against for support or rest their head and joints on while snoozing. It's designed to sit on your sofa so your pooch can still jump up for a cuddle with you, but they'll have their very own blanket bed to sit in to keep them comfortable while also protecting your sofas from pet fluff and claw scratches.

Our Senior Writer, Rosie Floyd, tested this product with her dog, Gina, and noticed how much her pup loved it. As soon as Rosie laid the blanket out, Gina eagerly jumped onto the sofa, drawn to the incredibly soft and plush fabric that makes for an inviting space to relax. The blanket’s bolstered sides also added an extra touch of cosiness, giving Gina the perfect place to rest her head. Rosie tested this blanket bed on both a leather armchair and sofa and found that while it comes with a non-slip backing, it did move around slightly on these smooth surfaces, but this might not be an issue if used on a fabric sofa where the blanket bed would likely stay in place more securely.

You may know Kong for their rubber toys, but they also make other pet products, including blankets. The Kong Weighted Dog Blanket is a great choice for anyone with an anxious pup at home, as it's designed to apply very gentle pressure to your pooch to make them feel like they're being hugged. This slight weight should help pups feel less stressed about certain situations, such as being somewhere new or when fireworks are going off nearby.

This is one of the largest blankets on our list and this combined with its weight of 2.7kg may mean it'll feel slightly too heavy for particularly small dogs. Some dogs may also not like the feeling of this gentle pressure in the same way that not all humans like the feeling of sitting under a weighted blanket. Even though it's weighted, it's machine washable so you can easily keep it clean and fresh.

Whether you've got a soggy doggy that's run straight to their bed after a wet walk or a pup or senior pooch that's had a little accident, the cleanup will be easy with the Feandrea Waterproof Dog Blanket. It's got a waterproof lining inside that prevents liquids from leaking through, protecting your dog's bed or your sofa. On either side of the waterproof inner, there's a soft flannel on one side and a warm Sherpa on the other to ensure your pooch stays snoozing in ultimate comfort for the duration of their naps.

Customers online love the softness and quality of this blanket. They also say it looks great, but be wary that as the Sherpa side is a light cream, it could get dirty more quickly. Real-life pet owners also give this blanket a big thumbs up because it is waterproof, offers warmth, and is easily washable.

A bestseller on Etsy with over 1,000 reviews, the StichInLines Personalised Dog Blanket is a great option for owners who want to give their dog a blanket with a more personal touch. It comes in a choice of 10 different colours and eight different embroidery options, so you can get one that matches your hound's bed, their collar, the décor in your home or just your favourite colour.

The blanket itself is made from a soft waffle material, so it'll be nice for your pup to curl up in. Something to keep in mind when ordering is that the StitchInLines blanket is only available in one size, so while it may not be suitable for big dogs, it'll be ideal for small dogs or as a gift to anyone welcoming a new little bundle of fluff into their home. Customers on Etsy love them and say the blankets are of nice quality for the price.
