Whether your blanket your donkey is entirely up to. For those who prefer to keep their donkey sheeted in the rain or snow often prefer to buy new blankets or sheets every couple of years to ensure they remain water proof. A good sign it’s time to buy your donkey a new rain sheet is when you remove the sheet after a day in the rain and find your donkey is soaked. Water proof and water resistant materials on your donkey’s blanket do not last for the lifetime of the blanket. In fact, if you wash your blanket with regular detergent you could strip the water resistant properties right off the blanket. You have a couple of options at this point. You can buy a new one, you can apply a water resisting spray yourself, or you can have it treated professionally. Talk to your vet Neshoba County, MS to find a blanket professional near you.
