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 wouldn't do that. I would recommend storing them in a more climate-controlled environment-- a storage shed, or a garage, where the tempurature isn't going to fluctuate so much from season to season. Just to be safe!

Depends on what you plan to use them for. I have used them several times when there were frost warnings here. They have very nice drawstrings and are easy to install and remove. For my needs they are perfect. However I live in Ft Lauderdale area and MA has much colder temperatures so can't vouch for freeze conditions. JR

hello chris I have two of these and I would not think they would be for any kind of cold weather they are very light weight and I was a little disappointed with them once I got them they put me more in the mind of a kids sleeping bag.

If they were lightweight strings, I think it would work. (If you want to use them outside, I'm not sure they'd last, because of the cold and damp.)

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.

Hi Katie,I don't think you're supposed to. Depends on your climate. I have two outside but one on a porch and one way under the eves on the house. Haven't had any problems. But..not winter here yet. At 20 below zero F, that's going to be tough. 90% is keeping them dry and out of direct sunlight. Keep them powered all the time in the winter (that's the plan) because they will generate a little heat. If the wind's not too bad they might survive.

No, they are just hollow with air. It wouldn't be enough to protect a dog in freezing weather unless you had >1 dog, blankets, and they huddled together.

i would assume so, they worked great on two different types of dog coats, they are very sharp so be careful.

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

they are not insulated or waterproof...they have a little plastic pad on the bottom that might give some protection from cold but it does not always stay at the bottom of the boot...my dog loves these for walking inside on cold hardwood or tiled floor in the winter, but I don't have him wear them outside.

Hi, thank you for the question. Yes you can place these in the snow. They don't smell as strong if they get frozen, but they do get stronger as the weather warms up. They've been used in snow to keep cats away from firewood piles etc.

Yes I would say so. They are pretty sturdy. They are great as an outdoor 'bed' for our Chihuahua (with a blanket on top). We have several & use them all over. Great little items! Enjoy.

I think it would not be a good idea for you to have them where your dog could have access. They are attractive to animals (for some reason) and your dog could choke on them. Wouldn't be worth it, I think.

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

Yes. I have used them a couple of times on my Golden Retriever when her hair got matted after playing in the snow. They work great.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.
