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.

Has anyone used these for their dogs? I have two very furry pups. They are suffering as soon as it hits around 75 degrees.

I wouldn't do that. I would recommend storing them in a more climate-controlled environment-- a storage shed, or a garage, where the tempurature isn't going to fluctuate so much from season to season. Just to be safe!

hello chris I have two of these and I would not think they would be for any kind of cold weather they are very light weight and I was a little disappointed with them once I got them they put me more in the mind of a kids sleeping bag.

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.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

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.

The should be fine in the cold but I've not used them when exposed to sunlight.

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. 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.

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

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 think they would work very well. The thing you need to remember is to ONLY put them in the mircowave on Defrost.

If you can train the dogs to use them than I don't see why not. There usually is an attractant in the pads so the dogs smell it and are drawn to them to do their business. Plus if it gives your dogs some dignity and they aren't having accidents, everyone's happy. When my dogs were puppy's I praised them every time they used them and they have ever since. Winters in my area can be very cold and blustery. My 5 pound Yorkie dislikes going out in the freezing cold or when it's very hot, she's a diva :)

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

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend - they freeze in winter conditions. Weather Tech better choice, IMHO.

They aren't made for really cold weather but they'll do the trick. Anything under 45 to 50 degrees would be too cold
