🐴 2026 Blanket Season Update 🐴
As many of you know, LBR is a small family business, and this year we have several major projects underway in addition to our normal blanket washing season. Because of this, we are focusing on completing blankets throughout the spring and summer months when weather conditions are best for washing, drying, repairs, and waterproofing.
📌 July 4th remains our final guaranteed intake date for the season.
Blankets received after July 4th may be accepted based solely on workload and available capacity. At this time, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accept additional blankets after that date.
📌 We are currently accepting blankets in bulk and working through them throughout the summer.
Because we are processing large volumes throughout the season, there are no estimated turnaround times available.
Blankets are completed in the order they are received, and we will contact you as soon as your blankets are completed and ready for pickup.
📌 Please do not wait until fall.
We will not be accepting a large fall blanket rush this year. If your blankets need service before winter, please plan ahead and bring them in during the summer season...fortunately, with this beautiful weather... I promise you will not need your blankets, and a quick fun fact...blankets actually do not get cleaner sitting in the shadows of your wash-stall all summer. 🌞
📌 Please include contact information with all drop-offs.
Whether dropping off at the animal hospital or on the front porch, please include: • Name • Phone number • Any special instructions (waterproofing, do NOT repair)
Blankets dropped off without contact information may result in delays while we attempt to identify the owner, or require tracking down contact info.
📌 Completed blankets should be picked up promptly.
If you have been notified that your blankets are ready, please arrange pickup as soon as possible. Storage space is currently very limited, and prompt pickup helps us continue moving blankets through the system efficiently.
Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding during another busy blanket season!
