As with all things, there are pro's and con's of each choice. The information given here is to help you better decide what may be the best choice for you.
Cage Blankets may not always be the right choice for everyone.
What is the benefits of using fleece?
Fleece is used to wick pee, water and moisture away from your pet. This results in a dryer surface that your pet uses all day.
Additionally, a dry area will help cut down on bacteria that can grow on wet feces (poop).
What is the cost differences of fleece vs. traditional bedding?
The following information is based on once a week full cage cleaning for a single 2x4 C&C (approx. 30" x 60") cage size for throw away bedding and two full cage cleanings for Cage Blankets in one week.
Costs references of throw away bedding was taken from local Target and Wal-mart stores. Fleece cost is based on local self laundry shop costs. No shipping or travel time is calculated into these costs.

What makes The Original Cage Blankets the better choice?
Most places will try to claim they have the best choice out there, but what can they know what each individual needs? I try not to proclaim this statement and let the blankets help you make that decision. What I can say is the Original Cage Blankets are made with materials inside to help cut down the bacteria growth that can happen with layered fleece and towels or pads. This help aids in fighting against URI's, although the research to support this statement is still underway.

Thank You and how happy their companion(s) are.
I think I've only received negative feedback once and long ago. Also three times to help criticize at my own request to improve items.
I have a pet with a medical concern, what can you do for him/her?
Cage Blankets and other items that have been made is built upon doing custom and special things for animals with specific needs. Many pets great and small can have difficulties of various types, what I try to do is create something to help accommodate that difficulty. Sight, neurological, walking, and arthritis to name a few along with reoccurring health problems like bumblefoot, wet buttocks, and impaction. There is many health related issues that sometimes fleece was the last resort they needed.
What makes your Cozies(Pockets), Tunnels and other things so special?
Your happy comfy pet in them of course!
Much care and consideration is put into each individual item to best utilize the design and fabrics used. These are not manufactured some place so the attention is there for each item to make as unique as the one receiving them. However, I simply create things. It is you and your companions that makes things so special.
You're prices seem higher then others, what gives?
Every item is created by a single person, there is no mass production inside this home. Many hours are put into the making of things, and some of you might already know, for home made items such as this quality, they are under priced to meet an affordability to the pet owner. I encourage people to scout out another that can stand up to the quality and durability of the items I create and find a lower price for the same kind of craftsmanship.
Many places do not take the time or effort to double and triple stitch their items for precaution measures and allow you time to see a fault before it becomes a problem. All animal items and many "Slave" items are double or triple secure stitched for these reasons.
Again, most do not take the time to sew in and/or sew down a fill such as foam, this creates a hassle after washing if not done. If you get a hand cramp trying to "fix" the item to the original state when purchased, there is a problem. This problem I like to think is now eliminated.
I really like your things, but I'm on a fixed budget, can I do payments?
Yes, I will do payments for some. However, since I am not a full pledged business I do not allow this option for everyone. Please inquire if you are thinking about needing this option as some things can be manageable.
