Just ordered more,
April 19, 2013
By: Lovesourdogs
from West Virginia
"We have two dogs in doggie hospice in our home right now and I'm constantly doing dog laundry. Having one of these protects the dog bed underneath so that all I have to wash is the throw, not the bed's cover. I just ordered two more. They are soft, the dogs love them and they work to keep the bed dry beneath."

Bought another throw,
March 29, 2013
By: Anonymous
from Tampa, FL
"I just bought the smaller size throw a few weeks ago to cover our labs bed. (Much easier to wash the throw than to have to take apart the bed and wash it all the time). I was going to suggest a slightly larger size of 72" x 54" on the smaller of the throws so it would cover the full bed. But when I loged on and saw the larger throw was on sale, I purchased it. We can still use the smaller throw for trips. My wife likes the feel of the throw that she said we can even use it for ourselves. I know our Lab loves it and sleeps like a baby at night."

"The Dog-Friendly Throw is pretty great, with one BIG exception. Since it has some sort of plastic lining on the interior - it makes noise when the dogs move around, especially disruptive in the middle of the night."

Stone color is nothing like the photo...,
February 19, 2013
By: SpecialllK
"The stone color is absolutely nothing like the photo. It is much closer to Orvis' "light brown" in their other products. It has NO grey tones whatsoever and it definitely a tan/light brown. The blanket itself is just ok. It feels "crunchy" and not very pliable. I suppose it is because of the waterproof liner? It makes crunching sounds whenever my dog moves at all on it. Kind of annoying. It is soft to the touch but the actual blanket does not really "drape" on things since it is kind of stiff."

"The thickness of this blanket gives excellent protection from paws and it feels both soft and strong. I got this primarily for travel with my dogs to protect my passenger car seat and to give them a comfort of home while traveling. It works great for that AND my 10-year old Brittney loves it so much she won’t share with the labs. I fold it in half for her favorite sun spot. She recently had a leg injury and could not use her nest so this was a perfect substitute bed for her recovery. I plan on getting this in the large size for my labs."

So-So,
February 11, 2013
By: EdwardM
from Myrtle Beach, SC
"I guess what I was expecting was something thicker. The fabric is fine, but I bought another throw/blanket from you several years ago that was thicker and the dog loves, only problem is is that in the first wash the seem/edging split open, so I haven't been able to wash since, but that's another story.
The dog is not as fond of this blanket as the first one.

"The large dog-friendly throw is exactly as described in the catalog and has met our need to give extra cushioning in the back of our SUV for our three goldens. It is high quality and even looks great."

Great throw,
January 24, 2013
By: TidewaterTank
"This is a very nice throw for my dogs. It is thick and very well made. It stays put most of the time but if not, it is so easy to rearrange just right. It is not a slip cover so one has to expect it will shift with the weight of the dog. My dogs love it and I am very happy with this purchase."

"I purchased this throw for my recliner. It is very good quality, well made, and a great colour (grey/blue). In fact, I am so happy with it I have purchased another one for the lounge."

"Throws need to be wider. I like throws that protect furniture that I can also sit on without having the throw come down, these throws have great material, sizing is off. The large has nice length for a couch."

"Length is great for the lounge but I wish it were a little wider. Dogs seem to like it and it keeps dirt off furniture. Good quality!"

Good Quality,
December 29, 2012
By: tckc45
from Abbott, TX
"I bought this for a recliner. My mini schnauzers were tearing the fabric with their claws. I knew in advance it was not wide enough by reading the reviews and the reviews were right. It is not anywhere close to being wide enough for a chair or recliner. That being said it will protect your furniture. Just use it as a spread. Dogs don't usually lay on the upright portion of a chair or sofa but this will cover the top of my huge recliner just not the arms! The length is great. The quality and thickness are excellent. Can't say enough about the quality of this. My dogs love this blanket and they haven't clawed a hole in it yet."

Disappointed,
December 29, 2012
By: Qualityefficiencyfunction
"The Dog-Friendly Throw was a big disappointment. The quality of the fabric was very nice, however it was not made in mind of dogs. The size does not cover the top and bottom of the sofa, and for what it does cover it does not stay in place. It is poorly designed. The manufacturer needs to design it to completely cover the bottom and back cushions of the sofa. The fabric needs to stay in place on the sofa. This one falls off, moves constantly, looks sloppy and does not meet its intended purpose. Rework the design, have dogs jump on and off it, and make sure that it : stays in place, covers and protects the sofa and looks like and is a high quality made in the USA product. Take the time to redesign it and I believe you could have a gem."

not designed by anyone who owns a dog,
October 10, 2012
By: mdp1
from new jersey
"This is a well made product but doesn't work with a dog. The product needs to be wider to cover the back, cushions and font edge of couch. At 50 inches the throw barely covers the back and cushion, every time dog gets on throw it has to be repositioned, 70 inches would be minimum. Also should be in lengths Of 100 to 180 inches for sectionals."

Skeptical Dog,
October 10, 2012
By: KCM716
from St. Charles, IL
"Our 6 month old yellow lab puppy has discovered the joy of laying on our furniture. She is not allowed on any living room or family room furniture; however, there is a chair in our study on which she's allowed. We wanted to keep the coarse lab fur from penetrating the fabric and when we saw this in the catalog, we thought, "perfect"! Well, not so much. She doesn't like going on it, and although she will occassionally jump up on the chair, she makes a concerted effort to rid the chair of the throw. We tried both sides, and the sueded side seems to be a bit more appealing. I really wish there was a "maybe" button for the recommendation as the jury may still be out on our success with this product."

"I purchased this for my cat. She likes the soft side - and has taken over the most comfortable lounger in the house. Lucky Girl!!
The throw is beautifully made and will give her years of enjoyment.
Thanks!"
