I love in Florida and my dog goes in and out a dog door all day.. would this jacket be too hot for my dog to wear comfortably?

I live in Texas and my dog only wears it during times that I know she will be under stress from thunder storms or loud noises. So far she hasn't been to hot with it on, but I've only used it for about three weeks.

It is made out of a cottony material similar to a baby onesie, so it is pretty lightweight. That said, my dog doesn't wear it all the time and I haven't gone through a summer yet with it. It fits fairly snugly and I think I will only use it during the summer when she will be indoors for longer stretches of time.

It might be too hot for Florida weather especially the warmer and more humid times. We use ours only indoors where the AC is on.

On the instructions it says to not leave on the dog all the time. Also it probably would get them hot if worn outside long periods

It seem to have been to warm for my dog. When i took it off he scratched a lot like it was uncomfortable.

I suppose it would depend on the dog..my dogs just lay down .usually..and if usrd when its storming ..It has been hot here

It is made of a thinner knit fabric. The thickness of 2 tshirts. No fleece or wool. Maybe too hot in summer months. But your dog will be in a/c when it wants to right?

I personally love this jacket. It is heavy but you can take the liner out very easily for the days its not too bad. The more you wear it the more comfortable it gets. The jacket is comfortable but heavy.

My dog was a lil chubby 19lb she fit perfect! I love this purchase for her. I think yours should be fine your pup just may not have room to move around a lot. I have a doxy so a long body and it's perfect. I did a lol of research and this was by far the best! Good much!

Yes I think it would get really hot. I am in Florida which is very hot and wouldn't leave outdoors.

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems. I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

I love this jacket in many ways, but it is not for really cold weather. If I wear a warm sweater underneath, I am fine until it gets really cold, but today I was out in 30-degree weather with just a light-weight long-sleeve tee underneath and I was cold.

I would say so. I have a doggie bed in the house and in the summer he will lay on the patio over laying in the house. Since it has started turning cold he goes in the house.

I think it would be to warm and ten pounds is a lot of weight on your shoulder and neck. I think your dog would be to big for this.

My chihuahua is about 6-7 pounds and the extra small jacket is perfect for her and it does work. We were in oklahoma and were hit by a tbunder storm right over us in an RV at 3:00 am, poor Callie was a wreck, i put the thunder coat on her she went under tbe covers in the bed and was fine tbrough the rest of the srorm

I had a Westie who was terrified of storms. I live in Florida and the storms come up quickly and end quickly. I only put it on her for the time of the storm. I wouldn't leave it in her outside or in an un-air conditioned house.

my own dog is a little chubby and it fits her fine. sure. good luck! by the way, i wash mine in cold water and give it a little stretch here and there while it's drying. unfortunately candra, the coat doesn't do any good for the fireworks during the summer.......way too hot for her to wear.

it does get a tad warm if dog hasn't moved around and the pad cant "re charge". . I have sometimes put in in the freezer/refrigerator for a while to re-cool and/or if I think my dog might be on it for longer than usual when I leave the house. (I also use one of those non mesh laundry bags (cotton) as a cover. It is thin enough that doesn't compromise cool ness of pad.)

I bought a sml size for my 18 lb dog because her chest size fit the small info and now I will buy a second one for her at the medium size, THE SMALL FITS, BUT JUST BARELY, if she gains a lb, I will be wearing it for a slipper. It wont work for her any longer...whoever said buy one size up was quite right. So now I will own 2 jackets, I did love the jacket and my dog seemed fond of it too. It seemed to take about 10 minutes to calm her down in a lightening and thunder storm, but did work in the end. Halloween I will have the jacket on her long before the trick/treaters and their cherry bombs come around. High hopes for that night.

It should be. I sent ours back before using it. We wanted it to be more breathable for our dog as she has a double coat and becomes very hot.

My husband says that it holds the heat in the rain in fall and spring. He has never worn it in the winter. I have a Marmot as well and agree wholeheartedly. Our daughter also wears one and agrees with us. It is much warmer than any other rain jacket we have worn.
