The Dixie Insulated Kennel Cover is designed for use with portable dog kennels in colder climates. Made with a durable, wind and water-resistant, 2-ply exterior shell to protect your dog from wind, rain, snow and freezing temperatures. The MicroLite 3 Insulation adds thermal value that can boost inside kennel temperatures by 20-40 degrees depending on climate conditions and the size and activity of your dog. Dual top-carry handles support convenient grab & go to transport of your kennel in and out of your vehicle. Four sturdy D-rings allow tie-down to stabilize the kennel inside your vehicle for safe and secure travel. Rubber mesh windows and removable window flaps help to control temperature, airflow and create added lines of sight for your dog. Ten exterior storage pockets surround the kennel cover to help keep hunting and training gear organized and accessible during travel. Industrial rubber forms a non-skid bottom to keep the kennel firmly in place. Mud River kennel covers are not chemically treated to prevent fading. To prevent/minimize fading do not leave the kennel cover exposed to the sun/elements when not in use. Fading is not a manufacturer defect as it does not affect the functionality of the kennel cover.
