In their own words

Took him about a week honestly. I almost gave up on it. Then one night I came downstairs and he'd dragged it off the couch into his crate, and that's been his spot ever since.

Bought it for the car. He used to pace the entire drive and now he settles after about ten minutes. Not perfect, but a big difference from where we were.

Good blanket. The yellow is a fair bit brighter in person than it looks in the photos. Doesn't bother me but worth knowing before you order.

My girl is 13 and sleeps on the tile floor no matter what we put down for her. This is the first thing she's actually stayed on.

Fourth of July test passed. She still shook, but she stayed in the bathroom on this instead of trying to claw through the back door like last year.

Honestly, my dog ignores it. The cat has fully claimed it. Three stars because the quality is genuinely good, it's just not doing the thing I bought it for.

The bit in the instructions about sleeping with it first sounds like nonsense but it's the whole trick. Two nights on my bed, then down on the floor, and he took to it straight away.

Washed it four times now and it still looks the same. That is rare for anything we buy for the dogs.

Vet visits used to be a two person job. Now I bring this, put it on the exam table, and he's manageable. Not calm exactly. Manageable.

Wish it ran a little bigger for my shepherd. He fits but barely, his back legs hang off. No other complaints, the material is lovely.

Got it for our rescue, who arrived terrified of basically everything. Three weeks in and he's started sleeping stretched out instead of curled up tight in the corner. Small thing but it got me.

Shipped faster than I expected. Four days to Ontario.

He drags it around the house and puts it down wherever he's decided to lie. Fairly hilarious, and I suppose that means it worked.

Storms are constant here in the summer. This hasn't fixed it, but she goes to the blanket now instead of under my bed where I can't reach her. That alone was worth it.

Does what it says on the page. It isn't magic and my dog still has anxiety, but he has a spot now, and that counts for something.

Bought two, one for home and one for my mum's since he stays there most weekends. Having the identical thing in both places made a bigger difference than I expected it to.

Heavier than a normal fleece, which I think is the whole point. He burrows under it rather than shredding it like he did the last one.

Puppy's first week home. Put an old shirt of mine on it like the page suggests. Barely any crying by the second night, which I was not expecting.

Fits the back seat almost exactly. Catches most of the hair too, which I hadn't thought about but am very happy about.

Took longer than most of these reviews suggest. Maybe three weeks before she'd lie on it with me out of the room. Patience required, but we got there.

He is a chewer and I fully expected to find this in pieces within a fortnight. Six weeks and it's intact.

Crate training was a nightmare until this went in. She walks in on her own now.

Flew with him for the first time since getting this. Completely different dog compared to the last attempt, which ended with us turning around at the airport.

Arrived folded quite small and I honestly thought they'd sent the wrong thing. It's a lot bigger opened out.

Solid. I suspect any heavy blanket would do something similar, but this one is well made and the colour does seem to help him spot it in the hallway at night.

Two anxious dogs, one blanket, constant argument. Ordering a second.

He's deaf and nearly blind now. I can't really explain why, but he finds this and settles on it. Maybe it's the texture. Either way he sleeps better.

Ordered Sunday, tracking Monday, here Thursday. No complaints.

Left it on the couch for one evening and it is no longer mine.

We moved house last month and he handled it far better than the last move. The blanket going down first in the new place seemed to help him work out where he was meant to be.

I was sceptical about the colour, thought it would look cheap. It doesn't. It looks fine folded on the end of the sofa and he can clearly see it, which was the argument for it.

Bought it after our old boy started getting restless around 3am every night. He's not fixed but he's settling again, and so am I.

Three months in. Still his, still intact, still washes fine. Nothing else to report, which is probably the best review I can give it.

Our collie is terrified of the vacuum. She goes and lies on this when it comes out now instead of hiding behind the toilet.

Arrived with a seam coming apart at one corner. They replaced it with no argument and the second one has been perfect, so this is really a review of the first one.

Bought it for my sister's dog as a gift and ended up ordering one for mine a fortnight later.
