Did you know that durable, outdoor designed dog blankets come in different sizes, weights, and denier? If you are unfamiliar with any of these terms just give your local pet store or grain store associate for assistance. The weight or fill describes the thickness of the blanket. The denier; however, describes the durability of the blanket. For instance, the denier is the measure of the nylon fiber density in the blanket, which varies from blanket to blanket. A blanket with a 1200D means a 1200 denier and indicates the blanket is more durable than a blanket with a 600D. If your Papillon likes to play rough then you may want to consider a stronger denier. This will ensure the weave of the blanket is tight and durable. For older, less active dogs, you may do well with a lower denier.
