Mud River The Dixie Kennel Cover Review

by

Review of the Mud River The Dixie Kennel Cover

The Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover is designed to fit the needs of individuals who require extra warmth and weather protection for their dog’s kennel. Here, the Dixie Kennel Cover will be reviewed.  

Product Description

The Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover is designed to protect a dog from harsh conditions such as rain, sleet, Waterfowl Decalssnow, wind, and freezing temperatures.  When in use, this kennel cover keeps the interior of a dog’s crate up to 40 degrees F warmer than the outside air.  Four sizes are available, ranging 32’’L x 23’’W x 25’’H (medium size) to 40’’L x 28.5’’W x 30’’H (extra large).  

Windows that are covered with rubber mesh allow for air circulation while providing a barrier to inclement conditions.  The kennel cover also has plenty of exterior storage pockets for holding miscellaneous items such as collars, leashes, training whistles, or collapsible food bowls.  The water resistant exterior and industrial-grade bottom made of 2-ply 1200D Poly ensure durability in all types of weather.  

Who Can Benefit Most from this Product?

Anyone who requires extra protection for his or her pet outdoors can benefit from this product.  Hunters that live in cold, wet climates will find the Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover especially useful, as will hikers and campers.  People involved in dog rescue can also find use for this product.

Who Can Benefit Least from this Product?
The Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover is not recommended for anyone in warm climates or for indoor use.  In these instances, the Mud River Uninsulated Kennel Cover is more appropriate.  

What are the Advantages of this Product?

The advantages of the Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover are warmth, protection from wind and precipitation, and Mud River Dixie Kennel Coverdurability.  This product is made to withstand even the harshest conditions in order to keep your pet safe and comfortable.  The design is intuitive, allowing you to provide your dog with the exact protection he or she requires thanks to the adjustable mesh-covered windows.  

What are the Limitations of this Product?

If not used properly, dogs can overheat in their kennel.  Dog owners must be vigilant of the outside conditions and their dog’s condition (i.e. warm from working), and ensure proper air flow at all times.  The kennel cover can dramatically warm the interior of the crate, so a hot dog should never be placed in a covered kennel without window or door flaps opened.  

Which Items in this Line are Comparable?

The Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover is most comparable to the Mud River Bedford Uninsulated Kennel Cover, with the major difference being lack of insulation in the latter product.  

Bottom Line

Ultimately, the Mud River Dixie Kennel Cover is perfect for the hunter or outdoor enthusiast who requires protection for his or her dog from harsh weather conditions.  With water resistant material, an industrial-grade bottom, and the ability to maintain an interior temperature 40 degrees warmer than the outside air, this product is perfect for people who are serious about outdoor activities during the fall and winter.

Dog Box Accessories

Outfit your Owens Dog Box!  Many accessories are available for your dog box. Choose from rubber or ABS plastic trays to line your top storage. Or, how about rubber mats or foam pads for your dog compartments? Don’t forget the cooling fan to keep your animal cool while your truck is stationary.

 

Our water box has a 20 gallon reservoir that does two things.  First, the brass water valve allows you to water your dogs in the field. The valve is about 6 inches off the bottom so it’s easy to fill a water bowl. Second, if you put ice or cold water in the reservoir, the compartments will be up to 25 degrees cooler than the outside temperature.  After running hard on a hot day or muggy night, this will help cool down your favorite companion.

As you can see, when quality and variety matters the only choice is an Aluminum Dog Box from Owens Products.

WetMutt – The Dog Bed for Your Dogs Well-Being!

by

The History of WetMutt Inc

A Passion For Your Dogs Well Being.

 “WetMutt is made for the person who truly loves and cares for their dog. Whether it’s rain, sleet, snow or another great sunny day with your Best Friend, we want WetMutt to be your dogs’ next best friend.”

The concept grew with wanting a dog bed that didn’t need to be thrown away after a few weeks / months of use. Every dog bed or kennel pad out there declares that its’ either 100% waterproof, odor resistant, indestructible or washable. Well, unless you can submerse your bed underwater without water penetration, then it’s not really waterproof. Very Wet Mutt Dog Bedfew dog beds keep smelly odors from penetrating their fabric membrane cover. We also assure you, washing a dog bed cover in your washing machine isn’t the most appealing idea for most people.  Plus, dogs will always find a way to destroy or chew a bed up over time, which we concur on that notion, but we make it harder to do.  Well, that’s where we’re at today.

Using customer feedback, we found that people wanted a dog bed that could be used outside, such as kennels or patios, and that could withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Studies showed that most kennel dogs lay on concrete or wood platforms. Long periods of exposure to laying on hard surfaces can create Pressure Sores and lead to Bad Hips or Arthritis. Until WetMutt, giving a costly dog bed to outside dogs never seemed feasible. Well after tireless research and development, WetMutt has designed a superior dog bed that looks great and fits in any environment or situation. The WetMutt bed is so universal and appealing that more people use it indoors.

So when clients come to us for a quality bed, they get it!!

Making Outdoor Dog Beds That Last

WetMutt Beds gives your dog an innovative bed that you won’t find with any other dog bed out there. Unlike the limitations of most dog beds, we challenge you to use this bed where ever, when ever. Whether it’s used in your outdoor kennels, back of your SUV, inside a portable kennel, as a puppy potty-training pad, for incontinent dogs, by the pool, at the office or even next to the fireplace, you’ll be a believer!!

 

“…an innovative bed that you won’t find with any other dog bed out there”

 

Our goal is to make the best 100% Guaranteed Waterproof, Odor Resistant, Anti-Microbial and Toughest dog bed possible. WetMutt is made for the person who truly loves and cares for their dog. Whether it’s rain, sleet, snow or another great sunny day with your Best Friend, we want WetMutt to be your dogs’ next best friend.  Years of research and experimenting with different materials and features, we came up with the Patent Pending WetMutt design. It’s a Closed Cell cross linked polyolefin and EVA injection molded foam component dog bed.  WetMutt’s quality is second to none.

 

“Years of research and experimenting with different materials and features, we came up with the Patent Pending WetMutt design.”

WetMutt Beds: An Innovative Product That Your Dog Deserves

Why Our Bed? WetMutt dog beds have the ability to resist damage or corrosion when it comes in contact urine and vomit. The strong integral self-skinned foam surface provides protection against scratch, wear-n-tear and abrasion, which improves durability in a rough physical environment. Under normal conditions it will take many hundreds of hours of constant abrasion to remove the skin and expose the inside cell structure. It’s odor resistant, so no more washing dog bed cover in the family washing machine. Scrub it down with your favorite household cleaner and keep on using it.  If the dog bed is cut or punctured, it’s still impervious to water penetration and bacteria. Leave it in the outside elements, season after season and it will be just as durable as the day you bought it. We feel that it’s time people stop buying dog beds that just don’t last. Get a WetMutt Bed because your dog deserves it.

 OUR DOG BEDS ARE:

  • UV Resistant
  • TRULY – 100% WaterproofWetMutt Kennel Pad
  • Odor Resistant
  • Shock Absorbent (Good for Elbow Pressure Sores)
  • Temps from -40°C to 75°C
  • Anti-Microbial, Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal
  • Abrasion and Wear Durability
  • High Tear Strength
  • Won’t Crack or Peel
  • PVC Free & AZO Dye Free

If you are still unsure if our beds are right for you, all we can say is “Try It Yourself (actual let your dog try it)”. Once you see the quality and durability of WetMutt, you’ll probably want more than one around house and find other uses for the bed, such as a kitchen or bath mat. IT’S THAT GOOD.

  • As for Softness, It’s NOT a 3” therapeutic bed, nor do we claim it to be.  But the Shock Absorbent material does help bad hips, arthritis and alleviate pressure sores created by ground friction. If you’ve ever walked in pair Crocs sandals, you would agree that the softness isn’t too shabby.

For a great Shock Absorbent and Waterproof Dog Bed kennel pad, check out these great new items from WetMutt and HuntEmUp.com!

Tips for Traveling By Car to go Hunting With Your Pet

by

Traveling By Car With Your Pet

Have you ever considered taking your pet on longer distances to go hunting? Here are a few things you should know before doing it:WaterfowlDecals.com

Securing the comfort of your pet isn’t easy when you travel by car. Perhaps you could use the following tips to make your little friend’s trip as comfortable as possible.

The front seat airbag can severely injure your pet, should you get involved in an accident. In addition, an unrestricted pet is surely going to get hurt or injure someone else in the car. Always restrain your pet in the rear seat or in a carrier secured by the seat belt.

Depending on your dog you may need different pet carrier sizes, pet carriers for dogs weighing under 30 pounds will have a different design to those for far larger dogs. So, choose one aptly.

Your cat or dog shouldn’t be allowed to roam freely inside the car. This can be dangerous for you, as well as for the animal. Cats who hate being in a car are a very serious threat to your safety, as they may try to escape, hurting or disturbing you in the process. Always use a carrier to transport your cat. Make sure you place it on the rear floor or strap it into a seat using a seat belt or a strap.

Never allow your dog travel with the head out of the window. He might find it cool, but he risks serious eye damage caused by dust, debris or flying insects.

Refrain from smoking while traveling with a pet, as the smoke may make it nauseous. The last thing you want is to see your dog throwing up while you can’t find a place to stop the car.

Don’t leave an animal unattended in the car on a hot day. Even a few minutes can kill him, as animals tend to dehydrate very quickly in such conditions. Hundreds of pets die every year because their owners have left them in the car.

Don’t allow an animal roam freely in the back of a pick-up. If you must transport them in the back of a pick-up, make sure you cage them and you tie the cage to the bed, in order to prevent it from moving around.

Consider buying a strong, yet soft safety harness. This accessory allows you to securely attach your pet during your travels. You should be able to find lots of attachments and harnesses that fit seat belts – just ask about that on your next visit to a pet shop or car accessory store. There are car manufacturers who offer such accessories as optional equipment.

Since you wouldn’t allow adults and children be your passengers without wearing seat belts, why would you allow animals to travel like this? If you value your pet and you care for its safety, consider applying the above tips and advice.

One Piece Molded Kennel Crates – Ruff Tough Kennels

by

Ruff Tough Kennel – By molding the body of the dog crate in one piece it would make the outside dimensions smaller and the dog crate stronger.

I first met Doug from Ruff Tough Kennels at Pheasant Fest several years ago and from the first sales pitch I was hooked on these kennel crates. Actually, a sales pitch was not even required! The quality and durability of these rotationally molded dog crates is apparent from the moment you lay eyes on them. Doug proceeded to tell me about the rigorous testing they have done comparing these crates to the two-piece crates that have been the norm in the industry for years and these crates are exactly what their name portrays them to be …Rough and Tough!

Ruff Tuff Kennel

I’m normally not easily impressed with the latest product to hit the market, I like to see how it stands the test of time before getting really pumped, but the simplistic design and quality of manufacturing immediately caught my attention. Having owned dozens of portable kennels and have always looked for one that could withstand the abuse of trainers, handlers, and guides. Finally, this is something that dog trainers and hunters should get excited about and yes, a better mousetrap can be made.
