Can this be used outside and have a little rain protection if my dog gets "caught" in the rain when I'm at work. He's an inside dog when I'm at home.

It's got a mesh top so no. You may be better served getting an outdoor doggy house. There are some decent plastic ones.

This is not a waterproof fabric so I'm sure it would sink through and probably mildew/mold quite quickly.

I've used mine in the rain many times, never an issue. The unit uses the ground pin on the outlet and has a breaker. I think they kept safety in mind with outdoor use.

My dog is an outside dog. We have the bed on the back patio but it is in a covered protected area. As far as I can tell it is resistant to water but again ours is in a protected area. I am really pleased with the bed.

We live in Florida and use it inside not outside. I think you could, would you want to bring it in if it was gonna rain.

I have not used it outside, I don't think you can't use it outside unless it's covered from the rain

yes but I would suggest that you have a little something over it for excessive rain,i have mine and love it.

I think it would be great for outdoor use as long as it is sheltered by the rain. Otherwise, its pretty heavy...won't fly away in the wind. I use it on the inside of my slider, it works awesome!

It is NOT waterproof and would probably not last for long if left outside in the rain. It does have a belt clip on the back, so it can be easily clipped to his belt or temporarily affixed to the playset (or nearby).

Totally. Ours are used outdoors to block off a certain walk way. However I wouldn't leave them out in the rain.

I don't know. I don't think my husband ever used it in the rain. Judging the material, I would say that it is probably waterproof. Hope that helps.

I have never used it in the rain, I would image that it would work. If I had to use it in the rain I would. I would just put it further under my vehicle to protect it from the rain before I lifted it.

I think it can, but I would put some kind of cover over it to protect against rain. Could be as simple as a bucket.

Yes it can be used, inside and outside. I have mine now out (patio deck) just make sure when it rains you may cover it with its lid otherwise you can leave it open and ready to be used by your pet. Hope this helps.

I would not use it outside unless you would take it in when it rains. The bottom is a tray which would catch the rain.

Works fine i n the rain, but we have Mastiffs and they don't swim. Good luck.

I have mine under a covered porch so it doesn't get rained on. Unless you get some sealant to coat the top with, I don't think it would hold up too long in the rain/snow. It's fine in the sun, it lets fresh air through. It would probably be fine in windy conditions but it's light enough be be knocked over by a large dog unless it's backed up against a wall. Also, I'm in the pacific northwest so we have an abundance of rainy weather. If you're somewhere with tamer weather, it might be fine in the rain.

Yes. I have it outside but in a covered porch. However, if area is uncovered, the lid protects it from the rain
