So soft to cuddle into. It’s the ideal first blanket for new puppies – the one top breeders use for whelping and for keeping new-borns warm, safe and cosseted. Proud new dog mothers also love to snuggle with their brood into this top-quality PetBedding. Re-use over and over as these blankets can safely be popped into an automatic washing machine. The edges are non-fray and the blanket retains all its practical properties wash after wash making it the most practical bedding to use in hospital cages and incubators.

And as you pup or kitten grows older, pop the bedding into their basket or kennel. It’s also very useful when travelling and saves the back seats of cars and 4 x 4s from muddy and scratchy paws.

Is it for pets only? Not on your life. Loads of people buy a metre or two to place underneath the bottom sheet on their bed. If you suffer from backache or have to spend a lot of time on your back it gives great relief. It’s used in hospitals to prevent long-term patients getting bed sores.

And soppy grandmothers have been known to buy a roll to send to their grandsons shivering during winter in boarding school. How’s that for a bit of pampering?
