I am in Texas and work with a rescue group, we have adoptions events even through summer. Will this help cool them outside?

I believe it probably will. We live in SE NM and it seems to work okay. I do have it in an enclosed cool spot and shaded. Hope this helps.

Honestly, you shouldn't get it. I have an English bulldog and wanted it for him in the summer. I live in NC. It did not work very well.

I have Bernese Mountain dogs and I use HyperKewl Cooling Mats for them on our pontoon boat. Works great!

My dog is double coated and she loves to be cool. It was a great choice. As long as directions are followed. Good choice. The jell type mat may work even better choice.

Any info on the products you bought? Looking for one for my great pyrenese also in texas.

I think it's HAS to help at least a considerable amount. I don't see too many below freezing days however we do get a few really cold days. I had it on a porch and put big heavy tarps around the porch.I didn't spend hours outside though, I don't know if you work in your garage or how long you'll be out there, if so you may want to position it so you can be right under it

This is not an outdoor dog house. It is a temporary shelter for use under supervision at such things as a dog show. A hard wind will blow it away even with the stakes in. Rain will eventually soak through. I love it for use at agility trials both indoors and out, but I would not leave my dogs unattended in this. In hot weather I also put a fan inside as it can get stuffy.

i used mine to cool a dog outside. it would not run the second season. i use a cheap walmart fan for the dog now.

Sadly our old dog didn't get to use it much before she passed away, but I think what it does is when the dog is off the mat it dissipates the heat back to the atmosphere. We used it through the winter to keep her comfortable as she was always hot and it really did work. I don't think it would work well outside or in a really hot environment. Even though we had the heat on in the house it didn't take long to be back to a cool surface as I found out several times getting out of bed and stepping on it. I hope that helps.

I use it outdoor. I live in the mountains so I put one of those body heat reflecting "blankets" in it keep the dog warm on cold days and nights.

Yes, used it when it is cool outdoors, however will not keep you warm on a cold evening.

This cooler works well for picnics and keeping perishables cool on a hot afternoon. I don't think it would work for your situation.

Even though this hutch is made for the outdoors, it does not regulate temperature at a safe enough level for the rabbit during hot weather.I would assume using this hutch outside in Miami would be very dangerous considering the fact that rabbits do not tolerate heat very well and can die from this type of condition

Yes, but not if the temperatures drop below 32 degrees. We're going to move ours outside in about a month, it's not getting enough sunshine inside, so it hasn't done much of anything over the winter.

We have ours outside on a covered porch. Out of the elements, but subjected to heat, humidity, and now cold. Still working great!

Probably. I will say however that it doesnt air condition your porch. It just takes the edge off of those muggy summer nights. It has to be refilled with ice pretty regularly to function. I think the fan portion of the unit helps more than the actual cooling.

I dont know how it works, but it does stay cool to the touch and my dogs enjoyed it last summer.

I don't live in Florida, but did use this over the hot weekend at SD Safari Zoo while it was 90°F, and baby was fine in it comfortably. There wasn't excessive sweating, but I did also used a stroller canopy extension and that could have helped reduced the temperature.

I live in New Hampshire so its not uber hot up here but i have frequently noticed that its cooler inside the shelter than it is out in the sun usually by a lot.

Our little guy (almost 7 months) sure thinks so! We drive that far often with him, he likes to play with the strap you tighten between his feet. He loves if we put a soft gel ice pack behind the top layer (it's over 100* here in Texas) to keep him cool. My only complaint is the material is not cotton, so although that means it's super easy to keep clean, it does make him sweat. I hope that information is helpful to you!

Absolutely !!!!! We use folding chairs , my lab sits by the door, and we put a propane heater between us when the temps get really cold!I bought a second one so we can hunt 4 guys at a time. nice blinds.
