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.

As long as you retrieve them from your mailbox that day they should be fine.I had some delivered in the dead of winter and they froze- but then they unfroze and were fine. ;)

yes depending what the temp is , i,d make sure you can send them in your cimet

Yes, but I would being them in over the winter. They don't seemed to weather well in extreme temps.

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

These will probably work just fine. I would only suggest letting them air out for a bit. I feel like products like these can have a plastic/disinfectant smell for a while. I doubt you want your winter wear taking that on.

I have used them in the snow on my greyhound. They work pretty well except they do fill up with snow which melts and gets a bit messy.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

I would not use this as an outdoor dog shelter. I would suggest a hard shell dog crate for that purpose. This particular product is great for training a dog while you are nearby, indoors or perhaps outside on a patio while you are present.

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.

They will help, but are maybe not thick enough for serious thermal protection. Excellent, though, for keeping road-salt and ice from paws. 3rd winter, 2nd pair.

Hi, thank you for the question. Yes you can place these in the snow. They don't smell as strong if they get frozen, but they do get stronger as the weather warms up. They've been used in snow to keep cats away from firewood piles etc.

Probably. Except my dog walks funny in them on hard ground. He's fine in the snow, they are great for that. However, I think this would be really uncomfortable for your dog to just be walking around the house in. He would probably just try to pull them off constantly and would have very little balance. Funny to watch! I'm guessing not so fun for dog.

I would think so. I don't know if the Sun might do something to them but I don't think cold or rain would affect them at all.

Not being a dog, it is hard to say for sure...but, imagine wearing latex gloves and making snowballs. There probably will be some protection from the cold but the main protection is from the icy water and snowballs between the toes. They definitely help keep the dogs feet drier and safe from the elements.

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

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.
