My puppy chewed the cord for my fave blanket and I am very upset.

It was a gift, and the original packaging is long gone. The only info I have for it is the big tag on the blanket and what the remote looks like.

Kinda desperate for a replacement cord.

I have no idea how to even go about searching for this stuff. I googled the model listed on the tag of the blanket, but I couldn’t find one that had the right remote for it.

    Brand is McJaw but they don’t appear to use the same controller anymore.

    If you’re asking this question, you probably don’t want to try rewiring something electric you wrap yourself in as a first project. 😧

    Also if the dog chewed it that much, I would be nervous the wiring in the blanket could be compromised as well, so if you replaced the cord, it could still be a hazard.

    Their new blankets look to be about $50, which even if you could get a cord would probably be about half that to begin with.

    If you get a new one or find someone who can safely check and repair your old one, possibly get some plastic wire wrap that the dog might find less enjoyable to chew, it at least buy you some more time to catch it in the act.

      Thank you so much for your help! My puppy has never chewed cords like this before, so I was honestly pretty surprised. I’m just going to get a new one at this point lol.

          It was unplugged at the time. I was changing my sheets because the dogs got the ones that were in the bed covered in mud. I turned around and the puppy had drug the blanket across the room and was going to town on it. -_-
