I want to send several to a dog shelter where the winters are cold...would these be good for that?

Yes, these would be very good for that. My cats love this blanket, and I think a dog would also. It is very soft and fluffy when folded.

They're nice for a bed but not sure how they would hold up to a lot of washings....I have mine on guest bed and haven't washed it yet....

They are pretty light weight.may be not warm enough for cold winter weather. More for fall weather.

They are lightweight but warm. Anything would be good for dog shelters in need.

My PitBull wore his outdoors in ice and snow for a couple days before he had a nail go through. I would say they would work in a pool but check them each time when you put them on your four legged friend.

It will not protect dogs from the cold. The mesh is more like a sun screen. We cover our kennel with a huge tarp from Home Depot or Lowes. Then we zip tie it and/or place bricks around the outside base of the kennel to secure the tarp in place in order to protect our dogs from wind and rain during the winter.

I believe these are so cost effective to use, that it would , but why risk any pipes freezing if the cold happened to fast? I would get them, and test themm out to see if they do what you want. I have a garage that i transformed into my master bed room, 2 1/2 car size and they do what we need, we also have the furnace on but it doesn't really blow that strong in there, but were cozy. just make sure you hear the click when you turn it on, the oil needs to heat up. there is no smell at all, my cats lay by it, even if I say no

I'm not sure about warm, but I think that is the case. Most importantly for us was that our Dog doesn't have any irritation from salt or ice. We've also started to use a little corn starch in each one to help with putting them on.

The company is wonderful about product replacement, from personal experience. They are shipped cold in a Styrofoam container very secure. They should be fine. Use them immediately. Good luck. They will work. Might need two applications

Yes! Amazon has a very thick, durable, clear flap that is made for this house. It works great for keeping out cold. I dont know about rain because my dog house is kept under a porch so the rain doesnt reach them. But it looks like it would keep out that as well

I live in the Pacific NW, so I don't use them in that way - due to possible mildew. But, if they were allowed to dry out in between loads, they might hold up fairly well. They're pretty sturdy. My dog tried to eat one of them and it stood up to the Newfoundland test.

If they were lightweight strings, I think it would work. (If you want to use them outside, I'm not sure they'd last, because of the cold and damp.)

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

Yes. They are easy to use with thin or thick glove/mittens. You really do not want to hold frozen metal grips I 10 degree weather.

. I got them to trap the water from Melting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.

I wouldn't think these would give much protection on hot pavement. We had a dog who's paws required protection in all extremes oh heat, cold and wet conditions. We found Allweather Muttluks essential for him, in summer and polar fleece the best for cold conditions as long as it wasn't wet out. Thee polar fleece breaths more than the waterproof ones and have more padding but may be too warm for extreme heat. Expensive but they are very well made and last much longer than any others so you end up spending the same if not less over time

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

You could-it would keep them cold at least, but you run the risk of them going flat in a travel mug of any kind (is my experience!) hope that helps

Yes, I've tried them For that & mainly my use is placing them in Mylar & other bags for non-freezing, but they work for both.
