The Mud River MRM1556 Dixie Insulated Kennel Cover transforms any wire crate into a climate-controlled sanctuary for hunting dogs and working breeds. This L-Extended model delivers superior thermal protection while maintaining proper ventilation during transport and field use.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic kennel covers that simply block wind, the Dixie features multi-layer insulation construction that regulates temperature in extreme conditions. The brown polyester shell resists water penetration and UV degradation while the internal insulation layer maintains consistent interior temperatures. This dual-layer system outperforms single-wall covers by reducing temperature fluctuations up to 40% in field testing.
Key Features
- Multi-layer insulated construction with weatherproof polyester shell
- L-Extended sizing fits 37" x 26" x 28.5" wire kennels precisely
- Reinforced corner construction prevents tearing during transport
- Strategic ventilation panels maintain airflow without heat loss
- Quick-access front flap with heavy-duty zipper closure
- Elastic bottom hem creates secure fit on standard wire crates
- Field brown colorway reduces visibility during hunting applications
Field performance centers on temperature regulation and durability. The insulated panels maintain comfortable interior conditions during early season hunts when temperatures drop rapidly after sunset. The polyester shell sheds moisture from rain and snow while resisting punctures from brush and equipment. Professional trainers report consistent dog comfort during extended transport periods, with reduced stress indicators compared to uninsulated alternatives.
