Those who don’t spend a lot of time around dogs might not know this, but many of them are just as into being comfy as humans are… if not more. I happen to be the mom of a dog who far prefers my bed to her own, no matter how plush I make sure the dog beds I buy are before bringing them home. And if there’s a fluffy blanket around? Forget it, that’s hers now. More than once I’ve caught her actually lounging under a blanket the way a human would. I can’t blame her— there are few things in the world better than a cozy nap.
And dog people also know that blankets can serve another purpose when it comes to their four-legged friends: they also go a long way in protecting the furniture, and that’s why this dog blanket that recently hit the Costco shelves is quickly becoming a must have item.
@costcobuys🐶 This cozy Waterproof Pet Blanket helps protect your furniture from muddy or wet dogs! It’s machine washable and measures 60”x70”. Choose from two colors for $17.99! #costco #petblanket #dogessentials
On Saturday, August 17, @costcobuys shared this peek at a new product that’s recently made its way to the shelves at Costco: a waterproof pet blanket that also serves as protection for your furniture while your dog (or cat) is lounging.
Not only does it look super cozy — and like it would fit in well aesthetically with just about any living room or bedroom — but it’s also really affordable at just $17.99, so it’s no wonder that it’s already a popular pick.
And while many pet parents are divided about whether or not they will allow their dogs on the furniture or not, this blanket makes it a lot easier for your dog to join you for a movie night on the couch since it will protect it from any muddy paw prints that might have happened otherwise. It’s waterproof and machine washable, too, so if it gets dirty or someone has an accident, no big deal; you can just throw it in the washing machine.
More about Costco’s new pet blanket
The blanket has already made its way online and can be found on Costco’s website, but it is a few dollars cheaper in store — online, it’s $24.99.
It comes in two colors, ivory and gray, and measures 60″ x 70″ so it’ll accommodate large dogs (and large surface areas, if you’re using it as a furniture protector). It’s also OEKO-TEX certified, which means it’s been tested for harmful substances and passed, so it’s safe to use around your most precious pets.
Even if your dog is a pretty clean pup, it can’t hurt to offer them a little extra coziness… especially with fall right around the corner.
