A few years ago (I forget how many) I bought a Big Sky Blanket from Better Life Pet Foods in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Recently, my elderly dog has become incontinent and I was washing the blanket every day. It still looks the way it did when I bought it! I needed a second blanket to use when the other was in the washer. Better Life did not have one in stock, so I ordered the large size one directly from West Paw. It looks exactly like the old one, so I expect it to withstand the multiple washings and dryings just the same way. What a wonderful product!
