is it warm enough for our dog to sleep on during winters?

Not outside, unless you had a crate pad or blanket to use. Make sure your dog is under 40 lbs. or he/she won't be able to fit through the door

I throw a comforter over the pen during the winter. Its not insulated so depending on where you live it may be too cold during deep winter.

A stray dog had pups that was taking care of and They stayed in it this winter and they were fine. I put a mat on the floor, a dog bed, and a blanket but they loved it. They stayed very warm!

My 35lb Australian shepherd does fine with cold as long as you put a nice layer of straw in the bottom

Although this comforter is warm and cozy in Phoenix, Arizona, I think you'd need at least a fleece blanket under it in very cold climates!

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

Yes. You can also use a low heat pad in colder temperature. Some of soft blanket for them to huddle together to build up their own body heat. Just like you under a blanket. Thanks for taking care of the little ones

not sure heat would be sufficient to warm your fur baby through a more padded dog bed...but we do love the heater and so does our "outdoor"cat...good luck

Yes! My puppy isn't too attach. We took it from him to wash it and he was fine. It's cold where we are that's why we use it. If we don't use the toy, we use a little blanket.

Yes! And the quality of this brand for the price is amazing. I have 2 and have purchased one for my sister. I am probably going to get another for my boyfriends dog. I won't buy anything else. The only thing you might consider is putting a soft bed or thick blanket on top of it to make it more cozy.

It is suitable for 4 seasons. There is only fleece lining on the straps that go around the dogs chest and belly. The pack itself is not lined at all no fleece. In winter you may still need to add insulating layer underneath for your type of dog.

Ours is situated on the shadier side of our main house. We also have a larger shed-like dog house, but our border collies both seem to prefer sleeping/laying in this smaller dog house. I agree with other replies, in you put ANY dog house in the sun it will not keep your dog cool.

I have not owned it during the winter, but I do not think it will be very useful as bugs are not a concern and the sun is not as much a problem. Because of the side vents, I do not think it would keep the baby significantly warmer in cold temperatures.

Yes, this bed is warm, comfy and cozy. It is large enough for my two Shi-Tzu. They cuddle together on it, and sometimes only one of them will be on it. When one of them gets on it, the bed kind of hugs them. They each weigh about 12-15 lbs. I was surprised at the size of the bed. I thought it would be smaller and am pleased at the size. I would not hesitate to buy another. I have 3 dogs and there is always at least one dog on it.

It keeps the dog cool while lying on it by pulling the body heat from the dog. When the dog gets up, the pad releases the heat into the air & cools itself back down. I use mine when traveling & at dog shows. It is not "ice cold" just keeps them cooler.

yes, if you put your awning out everything under it would be covered. It doesn't seal perfect around the top edge so winter sleep out would be very cold

Yes it can. The hay will add warmth and insulation as well but it needs to be on top of the hay as the body heat from your dog warms it. I use it with the Snuggle Safe pet warmer.

No, it isn't warm to sleep on. However, be aware that this mattress is extremely firm. I believe most people would require a mattress pad or topper to soften it up, if you can find one that's of very good quality (it took me purchasing and returning 3 pads/toppers before I found a decent one). Without a mattress pad, I would not be able to tolerate this mattress.

A little bit. If it gets quite cold, I put the heat on a little, in addition to the crate pad.

It can be drafty. The flap is adequate but not made for Mn winter or even windy days. Expect to lose heat, lots of it if windy. Best to close it at night and when you can let the pet out youself.
