Fleece is softer and snugglier, but wool is the better choice for active dogs, dogs that get hot under synthetic linings, dogs with skin sensitivities, and anyone who prefers natural fibres. It's also the traditional spec used in proper horse rugs for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this rug have a fill weight like the 100g or 200g options?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — and that's a feature, not a missing detail. The wool composite lining provides the warmth itself, so there's no separate synthetic fill layer needed. That means a cleaner construction with fewer materials, and a rug that breathes more freely than fill-based options. The warmth level is roughly equivalent to a light-to-medium fill, which makes it a great all-rounder rug for most Kiwi winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size dogs does this rug fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sizes run 40cm through 50cm. \u003cstrong\u003e4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0–50cm\u003c\/strong\u003e suits stocky small to medium breeds (Fpx Terriers, Mini Schnauzers, Frenchies, Spaniels, Beagles, smaller Border Collies, Staffordshire Bull Terriers \/ Staffies, Cocker Spaniels).
