A waterproof pet blanket that is also great for people.

Looking for a pet blanket that’s waterproof enough to take camping but cosy enough to keep everybody warm? Could that be the Teton Highline Blanket? Fi invites Fred and Opie to help her write her latest outdoor gear review.

Dogs love blankets. Everybody knows that but finding an outdoor blanket that will work in all conditions and cope with the amount of muck a dog can absorb isn’t always easy.

With its waterproof underside and easy-wash status, the Teton Highline Pet Blanket has been designed to cope with outdoor life but you might find yourself sharing it with your pet. As well as looking great, it is super comfy and warm, and very people friendly.

I was initially surprised by how big this pet blanket was. Although it packs neatly into its stuff sack, you probably wouldn’t want to add it to your backpacking kit. It is however a great addition for campervan life or campsite camping.

Well made and attractive to look at, the blanket feels very cosy and the tougher waterproof back is soft enough to make it comfortable to sit underneath as well as on top.

The dogs’ first impressions appeared to be good and, as the owner of a rather mucky puppy, I was immediately impressed with the blanket’s machine washability.

4/5 ****

PROS

Multiple uses

Strong waterproof backing

Soft and warm on the top

Big enough to share

Designed for the outdoors

CONS

A tight fit in its stuff sack

Too big for backpacking

Used to a dog trying to share my sleeping bag, I knew this pet blanket would provide a warm alternative bed for him inside my tent but I didn’t expect to find so many other uses for it.

On just one trip we used it as a picnic blanket, van seat cover, warm wrap (for the dogs and me) and camp chair cover.

I even pulled it over my sleeping bag (and the dog) when it got a bit chilly during the night.

Yes! We camped in April on very wet grass and the Highline Blanket was on the floor all of the afternoon and evening. No moisture got through and the dogs and I sat on it a fair amount.

The Highline Blanket also dries quickly. We had a dog-related cup of tea spillage on the top, which soon dried out in the sun and later in the evening I dried the bottom over a chair so I could use it in my tent.

You would think so wouldn’t you. With two dogs and one clumsy human, the blanket did take on a bit of dirt but I found most of it, especially the pawprints, easily brushed off once it was dry.

And if it does get super dirty, or you have a very fussy dog, the Teton Highline Blanket is fully washable.

The Teton Highline (Acadia) Blanket is available for £76.09 (April 2025) on Amazon. It’s not the cheapest pet blanket available but its size makes it very versatile for and perhaps worth the investment for people and pets who love the outdoors.
