Turns a Dog Crate into a Dog Home

Top veterinarian behaviorists and dog trainers suggest covering the metal dog kennel. This makes the dog crate a more den-like environment, providing more security, which reduces barking. Covering the crate will result in a better experience for both you and your dog.

The breathable pet cage cover does not have a front panel so your dog can have a view and plenty of ventilation. We believe it would be abusive to leave a dog in a wire crate all day covered up. After all this is a dog crate not a bird cage. We suggest removing the door from the crate so he can enjoy his den any time he chooses.

Your Dog's New Favorite Spot

“Dogs, like their wild ancestors, instinctively want to seek shelter, even in the house. If not provided, they will create it themselves under a table, chair or bed. A crate serves as a den for the domesticated dog. I suggest covering wire crates to give your dog the privacy he/she needs to feel secure.

Dogs are social animals, so the ideal location for a crate is in a room full of activity. By making the crate comfortable your pet will enjoy his new room while still being part of the family."

Dog Kennel Bumpers for Comfort, Safety & Protection

The dog crate bumper provides padding for your dog while he/she lays up against the metal bars and is completely machine washable. The dog crate padding has 4 pieces of Velcro 5-inch long to attach to the wire dog crate. We do not use ties on the crate bumpers as dogs can easily tear them off.

Crate Comfort: When dogs lie down in their crates, they are leaning up against wire bars, which can be very irritating. Crate bumpers provide the comfort they need while also protecting their coats, wagging tails, noses and teeth from the metal.

The dog kennel bumper is filled with poly fiber, and it's machine washable.

Created for Most Dog Crate Sizes

Our Size Guide is as follows: XS 18 inch, Small 24 inch, Medium 30 inch, Large 36 inch, XL 42 inch and XXL 48 inch. This measurement is the length of the dog crate which is the longest side. Unfortunately, there are no standard sizes for wire dog crates, the width and height of kennels vary in every collection from every manufacturer. Our unique pattern accommodates the small variances in size.

To determine the correct Pet Dreams Cratewear size simply measure the length of the metal dog crate from front to back and refer to our size guide. Please Note: The X Small crates vary from 18-22-inch in length.

Used by Veterinarians and Trainers

"Crates are the quickest and easiest way to house train a dog. Your puppy’s mother has already trained him not to eliminate in the den. Most dogs will do anything to avoid eliminating in their dens. Therefore, confining him in his crate encourages him to 'hold it'. You can make it more den-like and safe with crate covers and bumpers."

Dr Nicholas Dodman, DVM, BVMS, Dip AVCA, Dip ACVB. World renowned veterinary behaviorist and author. Director, Behavior Center; Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine.

"When traveling in your car, crates proide safety for you, your passengers and your dog. Using Crate Bumpers protects your dog during sudden stops and turns."

Dr. Andrew Obstler, DVM, University of Penn, trained at the Animal Medical Center, NYC.
