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, snow, 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 durability.  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.
