Blanket

Moss Large Blanket

I recently bought the above blanket from Barney Bed. Like the rest of Barney Bed products, I expected it to be of great quality. But it didn’t take long for my dog to start getting static electricity shocks from the blanket. So much so that he yelped with pain a couple of times. Last night I took the blanket off him as I could hear him getting Zapped. As I grabbed the blanket I got zapped too and while I was still holding the blanket I touched my dog and the electricity went from the blanket, through me and into my dog giving him another shock. I have looked on the Barney Bed site where it is acknowledged that static electricity can occur. A number of ‘solutions’ are mentioned including running a humidifier in the same room to increase the moisture in the air and also using anti static washing detergent among other things. My question is, why can’t Barney Bed just make a blanket out of natural fibres that doesn’t have static electricity issues? I paid $115 for the blanket and I think for that price it should be good quality. I should not have to invest more money on humidifiers or special detergent or whatever to solve the problem - the product should just work. If there is an issue it should be resolved before selling it to the public. Love the bed but I hate that blanket and now we don’t use it anymore.

These blankets are amazing! Hair does NOT stick!! Thought it was too good to be true love them so much I now have 2 one for each cat.

My dog does not chew her barny bed but has chewed holes in her blanket. Do you have a blanket of the same material as the bed cover?
