QuietTime Crate Cover

The only thing that would make this product go from a 99.9% to a 100+% would be if there were some sort of ties or way to secure it to the crate, at minimum on two sides, preferably three, and a way to tie back the flap on the door side(s). We only use one of the doors on our 2 door 54” crate, and even though the fit is perfect, my dog has major separation anxiety from 3 years of being in and out of foster homes and shelters, and even though he has been with us for almost two years now, and we have done everything the trainers, and vet behaviorists, have told us to do, he still can’t handle being alone. And yes, we have even tried medicating him… He is a 100+lb Foxy Dane (½ Foxhound ½ Great Dane,) and his metabolism just burns through every medication we’ve tried… and seriously, we’ve tried everything, and every combination of meds, he might respond at first, but within an hour or two at most it’s worn off, and he is even more distressed, so we don’t medicate anymore. ANYWAYS! Back to the review!!! We needed the 54” X-LARGE crate, our dude is BIG even if he THINKS he’s the same size as a chihuahua! This cover is really the only one on the market that fits the crate, and is made with any quality. I absolutely love that the fabric is lightweight, but isn’t flimsy. The fit is perfect for the crate, the Velcro closures at every corner makes putting on, and using the cover extremely easy and fool proof! (Even my husband is able to put on and take off this cover without any confusion!!!) The ONLY… ONLY… ONLY thing that would push this cover absolutely ridiculously over the top is if there was the addition of ties to secure the cover to the crate, and having a tie back available for the door flaps to help keep them up and out of the way when the door is open. The reason I say this brings into my dogs separation anxiety that I described above. Because of his anxiety, he tries to pull whatever cover is on his crate off by pulling it through the bars. He is so goofy, he won’t go into the crate if it isn’t covered, and nice and dark, but once he is in, even if a flap is left up, he still tries to get the whole cover off, then freaks out more because now he isn’t covered… He wasn’t able to completely remove the crate cover the first few times we tried him with it, but he was able to pull it somewhat off and into his crate. (This does speak extremely well of the fit and quality of this item, because even in his frenzied state, the Velcro side closures held firm, he just found a way to lift the cover up before beginning to pull it down into the crate itself.) So I went to the craft store, bought some heavy duty fabric that I then made my own ties and sewed them onto the cover. I now have four ties at the bottom of one of the long sides, and three ties each at the bottom of the two short sides. I placed the ties so that there is one for each corner, and the middle is able to tie down as well. I use these to tie the cover securely to the bottom of his crate (below the crate pan and bed so he can’t get to them.) Just adding these ties to the three sides that we don’t use has made the BIGGEST difference! He now knows that he can’t pull the cover off anymore because it’s actually secured, (and yes… he tried HARD to see if he could figure out how to thwart my plan!) And surprisingly he actually calms down quicker now because he isn’t getting himself worked up over the cover anymore. As for the top flap ties. I added two Velcro straps to the front top seam of the flap where our door is, in order to be able to secure it up and out of the way before I open his door and am hit by a ridiculously happy nuclear war head escaping from his crate to get to me so he can show me just how happy he is that I’ve returned. The very first time we used the cover, before I made my additions, I didn’t anticipate the fabric panel sliding back towards me and the door, and it almost got caught up in the explosion of dog excitement. Had it actually gotten caught on the door, I can imagine it would have ripped, through no fault in the quality of the fabric, just through sheer force and violence of the door being thrown open from the full weight of my giant lap dog. :D and this was before I even secured the other sides down!!! But in all seriousness, this is a 99.99999% perfect product! I do love the fabric, the fit, and the quality. He loves his dark “den” when I am home, I just needed the extra little security that tie downs provide us for the times when I do unfortunately have to leave the house and he isn’t allowed to come with me. Soooooo if in the future these features are ever added to a “new version” of this same size cover, You have a perfect product tester ready and waiting!! ;) *wink, wink*

The fabric is sturdy, but not stiff. Smooth, easy to clean. I love the velcro tabs. The cover fits the crate perfectly, no gaps or bunching fabric for my dog to bite or chew. Great value! Would buy again

Good quality and fit

Great Giant crate cover! Fit the 54” crate like a glove. It washed and dried (low) great, pictures are after it was washed. Easy to install. It’s very attractive, doesn’t smell and it’s breathable.

Works for my anxious dog. Usually he has to be kenneled when guests come over but he barks and whines the whole time. This helps him stay calm. The only downside is the white line looks very yellow/dirty. I also attached 2 adhesive velcro strips to the top so one flap in the front of the kennel can be out of the way until needed.

I purchased two of these crates for two rescue dogs that we were blessed to adopt. We adopted one dog two months before the other and I purchased this crate after reading all the positive reviews. The crate arrived quickly and was a breeze to put together with very clear instructions. They describe it as portable and I guess you could call it that because it does fold up nicely, but it is heavy! It is very well made, sturdy and has built in clips that make it very easy to put up and take down. My 60 lb German Shepherd/Lab mix has plenty of room to stand as well as lay out flat. The 42" crate is the perfect size for her. I have a hard time imagining a dog figuring out a way to open the door by themselves as one reviewer suggested. The door is secured with a latch at the top and another at the bottom. It feels very secure. Was so happy with the first crate that I purchased another when we adopted another dog two months later. Again the crate arrived quickly and was a breeze to put together. Because this dog needed a covered crate, I also purchased a Precision Pet Indoor/Outdoor Crate Cover. GREAT cover! Fits the crate like a glove and is really good quality. I paid just under $69 for each crate and I've seen them in stores for twice that. Great crate, great price. The only improvement that I could make on this crate is that I wish the door was adjustable so you could change the swing to the other side. Just happens that with the location of both crates in my home, it would be more convenient if the door swung left to right. Not a huge deal, just would be nice. I had no need to install the partition because both my dogs are adults.

It fits perfectly over the crate, and it’s washing machine friendly (which is nice)! Very easy to put together. Over time, we don’t use it so much at home, but more for traveling and staying in hotels. We actually traveled with our dog WITHOUT it once, and we learned our lesson. It helps keep his view “darker” with less distractions (people walking down the hall, lights, etc) which helps him sleep better. Definitely recommend!

Great design, pretty sturdy and great size for my dog. It took a few to figure out how to assembly.

perfect fit for crate and good quality even after wash in the washing machine

Super sturdy crate and my Great Dane has enough room to stand and then some.

Cost is too high

Ma chichi Angel ce plaît bien dans sa petite cage 😁

Brilliant cage cover. Really nice quality, and fits my pet cage perfectly. All the sides are secured with Velcro so you have the option of having any side open you require. Looks very smart.
