Hi. Does this restrict airflow? I am worried about my big dog getting too hot.

No it does not. It is ope on each end. It is like a hammock. It protects the sests from dirt and dog hair. I put a blanket down and my rwo beagles like it.

It just covers the seats not the windows. It's simply like a canvas tarp that's held in place by the headrests. I've been using it since I bought it and it works great.

A bit- the cover in my car covers the vents in the back, so I have to adjust the angle on the front vents and crack the windows- especially after daycare or running in the park. There are WAY more positives to it though- it's still holding up really well!

No it does not. I have an extra large dog. And she is pretty comfortable. However The Sides (Doors) Are Not Covered So My Extra large Puppy Chewed Away The Leather On My door. Also it is a good seat cover as far as the mess the dirty paws and the hair go,however the zipper gave way in less than a month. But we are still using it as it is very helpful as we travel with the dog.

The short answer is no. When the air conditioner is running, it needs to vent freely. This is for use in the winter when the air conditioner is off. Check out the mesh cover which you can use in the summer to keep out debris.

No, you wont feel air coming out of this unit! I was thinking the same way when I purchased mine. I just provides a constant warmness through out the safe!!

It helps but not totally. Eventually it warms up n you have to move to a cool section of the pad. What we need is an electric cool air ventilation pad!!!!

It goes on top and it's very sensitive! Sounds like a smoke detector:) loud. My two 1 1/2 year old dobermans won't go near it! Finally a victory for me:)))!

I haven't noticed a cooling system necessarily. I think the ventilation is to keep it from getting stinky maybe? So it can breathe. Where i lay stays warm, when i move to a different spot its cool... sorry if this is of no help.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. We have just put water in it once and it is still cool.. We have a large in the bottom of our englishbull dogs kennel and its stayed cool this whole time even if our big boxer lays on it. I did put a sheet and light blanket on one side so in the night he gets to cool he can be warm on the other side. This was works awesome for us.

In my experience it doesn't create "ambient" heat. Its good only if the animal sits on the pad.

How big is your poodle? Let's put it like this. When I'm blow drying my 7 month old Bouviers, who's probably 70 lbs at this point, the water basically gets blasted off of him, even at low setting. If you don't hold the hose when you turn it on, it goes flying. I'm not sure how that translates to what you're doing, but you're getting a powerful blast of air from this thing. One more thing. Make sure when you use it it's on a 20amp circuit. It routinely trips my 15amp circuit. Hope that helps.

It is a mesh panel that zips, thats how my pug jumps in. Part of the hood is mesh, like the front portion, in my opinion there is good air flow. Hope this helps.

No, this muzzle doesn't allow the dog to breathe. It's only good for a few minutes like at a vet visit. You should get a basket muzzle.

The lining is faux sheep wool. I live in Calif where it gets pretty hot in the summer. My dog is ok but I have the A/C on full blast. If it's moderately hot I open the windows. It should be ok for your dog. It's a great seat!

Vents can b closed n pet can go down inside bag if it wants. But being on a bike its just normal to get wind.

This stroller for the money is well worth everything it cost and more. The back area is not screened for air flow. However I got it specifically for my senior dog who cannot walk as long and far as the others. I only lay him in it and don't even zip it up. He justs sits and lays in it along the walk. So air flow is not an issue for me. If you have to zip it the whole front is screen as in pictures. Image bes is cushioned and has a compartment for stuff as well as cup holders.

Yes, the thermal pad is removableMy dog did not use it during travel- he is a big guy

I have never had any problems like that. If anything you might develop a little bit on condensation but your breath will keep it warm or at least above freezing. I used this while commuting to work and back on my bicycle and all I noticed was a small amount of air restriction from the mesh itself and hardly any condensation.

I don't think so. I have a Shitzu and Pomeranian. Sure Luke the insulation- helps keep cool and hot from coming in so much.
