The Mud River Dixie Insulated Kennel Cover has many features that will allow your dog protection from the cold and rain making your standard dog crate a warm, dry, and comfortable place for your hunting dog. It will keep the inside of your crate 20-40 degrees warmer than the outside air temperature (depending on size of dog, working or resting dog, windows on or off, door up or down).
Features on the Dixie Dog Crate Cover include MicroLite3
insulation, a 2-ply infused 1200D Poly industrial grade bottom that is built to withstand years of abrasion, water-resistant coating for protection in foul and unpredictable weather, rubber handles on the top making it easy to move and carry, and 4 side D-Rings for securing the kennel in the back of your truck.
Rubber mesh over each window and velcro loops on the front allow you to open up the sides and roll up the front flap for proper airflow when the weather warms up. The Mud River Kennel cover also has multiple side, rear, and top pockets and storage areas that help you keep all your dog training gear safe and secure. Comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
WARNINGS:
Never close all the kennel cover doors and windows at the same time -- depending on your dog and various external factors, temperatures can increase more quickly than expected.
Don't carry more than one dog per kennel.
Never leave your dog unattended.
Use caution when pulling trailers that may redirect exhaust into the back of your pick up or topper when using a Kennel Cover.
Mud River Kennel Covers do not provide adequate protection for your canine in the event of an accident.
Cleaning Instructions:
Hose off. Spot treat with mild liquid detergent when needed. Line Dry.
The Dixie Cover is NOT waterproof but the material is naturally water-resistant. If the cover were 100% waterproof you would run the risk of suffocating your dog inside the crate.
About how much warmer will the Dixie cover keep the inside of your crate?
Typically, the Dixie Cover will keep the inside of your crate anywhere between 25-40 degrees warmer than the outside air temperature, depending on a few factors:
Dog size
If your dog has been in the field working (the temp inside will be higher than normal)
If the windows are attached
If the door is rolled up and secured or down
From the Manufacturer:
Innovation and Animal protection is a driving force at Mud River. Our pursuit of superior product performance will only enhance the Human and Animal relationship. Keeping with our quest for your dog's well-being, we have loaded our kennel covers with a wealth of health benefits.
The chosen material is a 2 ply infused 1200D that has a Water-Resistant coating for protection in foul and unpredictable weather. Worry not -- when the mercury drops the microlite 3 insulation will supply thermal bliss.
You will also find that we have placed a tough and tumble rubber mesh over each window to ensure air is dispensed properly and to secure fit while running 70. While the need for gear is essential you will find stash pockets in all the right locations. The industrial-grade bottom was not an afterthought, built to withstand years of abrasion.
LRG Brown Insulated Kennel Cover
For a long time, I looked at all of the kennel covers on the market and just didn't see anything that would give my dogs the protection that they need in the winter months.
The Mud River Kennel cover is a really well-built product. It is obvious that these guys are hunting dog owners that care about the safety and well-being of their dogs.
Cover looks very well made, plenty of pockets and storage. It was exactly what I was looking for with the intermediate Lucky Duck kennel.
Pros
Material, seams and zippers look to be stout. Lots of storage pockets.
Cons
None if found so far

September 27, 2022
Bought this for a 14 hour trip to North Dakota, so far on short trips around home is has worked really well. Very little movement or flapping at high speeds on the interstate, easy to put on and open / close. The rings on the top are very handy for tiedown. This cover is on a Ruff Land large kennel and fits perfectly. There are so many pockets and storge compartments I won't use them all! This cover exceeded my expectations.
Pros
Is heavy material that doesn't flap in the wind.
Many pockets / pouches for storages.
Tie down rings make securing easy.
Cons
None.

Fits as stated, lots of features
December 24, 2021
Fits as stated and really like the reinforced D rings on the top corners which allowed for tie-down straps to secure. I put two side by side and secured the inside D rings with double brass snaps and tie straps on the outside 4 corners and works great. Plenty of zippers for ventilation and also tons of storage compartments for gear. Highly recommended!
Pros
D rings, storage compartments and ventilation.
Cons
Front inside straps interfere with the operation of the kennel door.

This is my second Mud River insulated kennel cover. I bought it for a intermediate size Ruffland kennel and the medium size cover is a perfect fit. I have a 58 lb female Drahthaar and this box is roomy enough but not too big. She loves it.
Pros
Lots of pockets for dummies, leads, etc. Zippers and hooks where you need them, perfect fit for intermediate Ruffland kennel. Plenty warm on cold nights
Cons
A little difficult to air out if it?s warm. I?d suggest removing cover and using non-insulated version.

January 22, 2023
I have only had this cover for a few weeks but I have had several over the last 15 years of owning a dog. It is true to the measurements, durable, and appears to hold heat well. The storage on the outside is nice but honestly most of it is unusable for me. To utilize and reach most of it I have to get in the back of the truck. But that’s not a big deal for me because I’m buying it to keep my dog warm and out of the elements during the winter. The storage is just a bonus. This is the only kennel cover I will use and Gun Dog Supply is always great to deal with.
Pros
Durable, warm, true sizing

It turned my ugly plastic dog house to a mansion. He loves it so much that he like to be in there all the time. It perfectly fit and the design is beautiful. I love everything about it. I almost throw my ugly plastic expensive dog house away until I found this. I'm glad I bought it.
Pros
Good and useful design

Pricey and I thought the material could be tougher for this price.

Dakota 283 Large cover
December 15, 2021
Fits my Dakota 283 large perfectly. Well constructed with nice heavy zippers. The bottom of the cover is of a different material and appears very rugged. Only add I would suggest is a way to pass a strap though the cover to take advantage of the molded in handle for tiedown. I'm very pleased.
Pros
Heavy zippers

Muddy River crate cover
May 12, 2021
Ok I got this for my medium dakota 283 crate. They recommended a large which I found to oversize to suit me. So I bought the medium couldn't get the crate in it sent it back then requested it to be returned. Lol.... I decided to cut the bottom out and slide it over the top. Fits great. I'll use a couple Hunter orange straps to secure it. Done deal
Pros
Well made, great organization
Cons
None really. Just got it

Just what I needed
December 22, 2020
This cover works great for our black lab in his Ruff Land Kennel (large). It keeps him nice and toasty in the back of the truck. The handles on the top make it very easy to move between vehicles, and the storage pockets come in really handy. At first, I was worried that it would be a chore to put on the crate, but it slipped over it without any difficulty. I wouldn't change a thing!
Pros
Perfect Fit
Lots of Storage
Easy to put on and off
Handles are great!
Cons
None

December 20, 2020
I use the Mud River kennel cover with my Gunner kennel intermediate size. The side vents fit is a little off but overall fit is fine. Easy to fit the kennels with the covers. Well made. I look forward to many years of use.
Pros
Well made. Seem to be durable. Pockets for storing of dog supplies.

For the intermediate size the side openings are a little off.

This is my 2nd Mud River cover (2 dogs). It is durable and I love how the ventilation is adjustable. It works great to keep the 2 EB warm and dry and the truck bed clean and dry. Make sure you add a mud river pad to your crate too.

This was easy to put on and is definitely an improvement to the blanket I used to put over the kennel. I'm wondering what took me so long to buy one of these.

Easy to put on. Measure your kennel!
Definitely keeps the kennel warmer and the dog more comfortable.
Cons

Too Big
September 16, 2020
I went for the extended size on this because of the recommendation that it fits most kennels better. It's too big for my kennel.
The product itself is very high quality. I'm not sure what I'll use all the pockets and compartments for, but it is well built. Just get the right size.
