I let my dogs on my quilts, they sleep on them all the time. They are part of my family so I don't have a problem w/it. One time I was out of town and I talked to my husband and he was all nervous sounding, come to find out one of the dogs had gotten sick on my king size stack and whack quilt and he thought I'd be very upset. I told him to take it off the bed pre-treat the spot and throw it in the washer. He couldn't believe it came out so nicely. I've had store bought comforters that don't launder well or hold up to normal use, not to mention pets.
