This is the second Trixie blanket that I have purchased and the only reason is that the previous one was tight! This one fits us no matter how much hair we gather with scratching! My dog loved it as soon as he saw it. It has nothing to do with regular fleece blankets on the market that are aimed at humans... and they collect all the hair. The material is such that it does not retain hair and with a shake, it cleans relatively easily.
