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.

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.

I haven't tried them but why not try? I would make sure they are very cold.

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

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'm assuming you mean loose powdery snow over ice - I don't think they'd work well at all. The little plastic "teeth" are designed to dig into packed snow, and I don't think they would work at all on ice. You'd need metal teeth to grip a sheet of ice.

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

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.

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 got them to trap the water fromMelting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

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

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.

I'm not sure about warm, but I think that is the case. Most importantly for us was that our Dog doesn't have any irritation from salt or ice. We've also started to use a little corn starch in each one to help with putting them on.

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.

i don't think they would be too hot. I live in the Pacific Northwest where winter is usually in the 40s - 50s and they are very comfortable both outside as well as in my house which is warmer than 50 degrees.

I can't say for sure that leaving them out in winter would damage them or not as I haven't tried it. The plastic that the planters are made of seem to be both sturdy and somewhat flexible, not a brittle kind of plastic. I think that as long as the planters are not filled with a frozen soil or with frozen snow, they should be okay. But I would be very careful to not drop them when they are cold and to let them thaw out slowly on the off-chance that they do become brittle and break easily.

I have used these for my larger canine and they worked fine when he needed to go outside into the snow - we have tile on our kitchen flooring which is right by the front door and he did not slip coming into the home. These items are difficult to remove just as difficult as they are to put on because they are tight. With that being said, I would consider the possible damage it can do to circulation having them on for that long period of time; just my opinion.
