This has been a life saver. Probably not for its intended purposes, but our dog has idiopathic epilepsy, and when he has a seizure, he loses control of his bowels and bladder. This blanket has saved our rand new bedding from being soiled, and, we've washed it twice since getting it and each wash its like new. Thank you so much for providing a product that alleviates an element of anxiety in our home, knowing we don't have to change the entire bedding every time an incident occurs xxxx
