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.

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.

Yikes. I don't think they will work. My pooch is a Toy Poodle, a little chubby at about 17 pounds and these are about perfect. If you know someone who is good with a sewing machine, these would provide a good pattern. I will say we have ordered these for 10 years now and they have been awesome! Huge lifesaver for MN winters. Good luck!

Oh yeah! It'll work perfectly. Just don't leave them on during winter. I ruined two that way.

I think these boots would work well, as long as you fasten them securely. My dog wore them all winter long (in deep snow too) and we only lost one boot all season. I know it's probably because we didn't get that one on very securely. If you're only using on hind paws, you'll have two extra for backups.

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

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 have not used them in an area colder than 50F, but being an LED light, these should work fine well below zero.

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

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 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.

They are a thin rubber. They would help somewhat, but would probably be more protective if you were walking in sand so the sand would not get between the pads of the dogs paws same as walking in the snow. They helped more with that type of issue.

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

I have also used these in my Husky kennel. They are awesome in the dead of winter.

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

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. ;)

You will have to use your own waterproofing solution. And no, wind passes right through hem so I would not recommend them for cold weather.
