Why Choose A Weighted Dog Blanket?
Weighted blankets are known for their ability to naturally help soothe anxiety and provide deeper, more restful sleep. So, of course, it stands to reason that if the gentle pressure of a weighted blanket can help humans with these concerns, why can’t they also help our four-legged friends?
Weighted blankets can help us naturally get a handle on certain conditions or the symptoms of those conditions. This includes things like:
- Anxiety
- Poor sleep
- ADHD
- Sensory processing disorder
- And more…
These issues aren’t restricted to humanity, either. Dogs, cats, and other animals can struggle with issues like anxiety and sensory overload just as much as we do. Now, instead of medication or training, a weighted dog blanket can provide natural help for those symptoms.
The evenly distributed weight and gentle pressure of a weighted blanket is comparable to getting a full-body hug. Scientifically speaking, the pressure from a weighted blanket helps release the hormone oxytocin, which is often called the “happy hormone.” It’s the hormone linked with feelings of bonding, trust, and loyalty, all of which help a person feel safe and boosts their sense of wellbeing. While studies are still ongoing, it’s a good bet that a weighted dog blanket provides similar benefits for our furry friends!
Think of a weighted dog blanket like a thunder jacket or other calming device — except it’s more comfortable and your pup can crawl under the blanket by themselves! If you have a dog (or other larger pet) who is prone to anxiety, a weighted dog blanket can give that sense of comfort any time, day or night. While you can use it to swaddle your dog, it’s an ideal solution for when your pup needs some comfort but no one is home to give it because they can simply wriggle their way under the blanket without help. Whether it’s just for use during storms, when your family is all gone during the day, or for constant/ongoing use, a dog anxiety blanket may help calm your pup and provide the natural relief you want for those annoying and occasionally harmful anxiety tics your dog experiences. Grab your weighted dog blanket today and help your pup feel calmer!

Density Comfort Calming Weighted Blankets come filled with non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, and odorless glass beads to provide evenly distributed weight.

Weighted blanket size guide -
Can I use a weighted blanket for my dog?
Absolutely! To calm your dog from thunderstorms or fireworks, you can feel free to cover your dog with one of our pet weighted blankets. We recommend using a 5 lb. blanket for a small to medium sized dog or a 10 lb. blanket for a large dog. -
Can I use a weighted blanket while pregnant?
While we haven’t seen any negative effects on pregnant women, we still recommend that you speak with your primary care physician before trying our calming weighted blankets. -
Can I bring my weighted blanket on a plane?
Yes, according to TSA our calming weighted blankets are allowed through the security checkpoint in the United States. If you are traveling internationally, we advise reaching out to the airline and/or the country you are visiting for more information on security procedures outside of the U.S. -
What materials do you use?
Density Comfort only sources the best materials for our comforting weighted blankets. We use complete glass weighted beads, strong durable loops to secure the blanket into the weighted blanket cover, high quality fabric, thick 100% cotton, tight stitches and strong piping. Competitors often use broken glass or poly pellets with sharp corners, which will destroy the fabric over time, fragile loops that easily rip, low-quality fabric which is not as smooth, thin polyester outer fabric, loose seams, and weak stitching at the edges.
-
Is the weighted blanket machine washable?
We recommend washing only the weighted blanket cover, as it is much lighter, easier to dry, protects your inner blanket, and increases the weighted blanket’s longevity. If you do decide to wash the calming weighted blanket itself, we recommend washing it by hand with cold water and letting it air dry.
-
Is the weighted blanket hot in the summer?
If you purchased our calming weighted blanket without the duvet cover, it is fine for the summer months, as it is designed for weight, not warmth. If you purchased the blanket with the cozy weighted blanket cover and you are a warm sleeper, you can always take the duvet cover off. Our comforting weighted blanket is made of 100% breathable cotton.
-
Can I claim my DensityComfort Weighted Blanket for insurance purposes?
The Density Comfort Calming Weighted Blanket is not currently HSA/FSA reimbursable.
Safety:
If someone does not have the ability to remove the weighted blanket on their own, we do not recommend letting them use the blanket without supervision. We also recommend placing the weighted blanket out of reach when you are not home. Do not cover your face with this blanket, as it is heavier than standard blankets.
