Most pet blankets are thin fleece squares that get shoved to the side of the sofa and ignored. This rabbit-velvet warming mat is thick, heavy and deeply textured — a twist-pattern long-pile faux fur that cats and dogs sink into immediately. It works equally well laid flat on a sofa, bed or pet bed, or folded in half to create a double-layer nest. The fabric stays soft wash after wash without pilling. Available in Off White, Blue, Light Gray and Dark Gray, plus additional shades including Black.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it pill or flatten after washing?
The long-pile rabbit velvet fabric is designed to maintain its texture through repeated washing. Wash on a gentle cycle in cool water and air dry rather than tumble drying — heat is the main cause of synthetic pile flattening. Shake well after washing to restore the pile before drying.
Is it good for anxious dogs?
The thick plush texture is particularly calming for anxious dogs — the deep pile mimics the warmth and comfort of pressed-against-littermates sleep that dogs find instinctively soothing. Dogs that struggle with separation anxiety or storms often settle more readily on a deeply textured mat than on a flat hard surface.
How do I remove pet hair from it?
Pet hair clings to long-pile fabric more than to flat weaves. Use a rubber pet hair removal roller or a slightly damp rubber glove to lift hair from the pile before washing. A lint roller on its own is less effective on deep pile — the rubber glove method works significantly better.
Can I use it as a sofa cover?
Yes — the mat is large enough to cover a sofa seat or the back of a sofa and protect the upholstery from hair and claws. The weight of the fabric helps it stay in position without slipping. This is one of its most popular uses alongside being a dedicated pet sleeping mat.
