MidWest Homes for Pets XL Dog Crate Cover (Black Polyester) for Most 122 cm Crates
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
A dog crate cover is one of those simple add-ons that can change the whole vibe of a crate. The MidWest Homes for Pets XL Dog Crate Cover is designed to fit most 122 cm metal dog crates and create a more private, “den-like” environment. Over the course of everyday life, that privacy can help take the edge off anxious behaviours some dogs show in a visible, open kennel set-up.
On paper, it’s aimed at situations where your dog barks at passing people/traffic, or starts chewing at the crate when they feel unsettled. The cover adds privacy while still allowing airflow, so you’re not trying to turn the crate into something stuffy. It’s also machine washable, which matters when you’re dealing with mud, drool and the occasional accident.
The essentials (and where it’s limited)
The cover is made from lightweight 100% polyester and uses hook-and-loop tabs to help keep it in place. It’s designed to fit a broad set of standard 122 cm crates, including iCrate models 1548U, 1548DDU, 1648U, 1648DDU and New World models B48 and B48DD. The approximate size is 121.9 cm x 76.2 cm x 83.8 cm.
One important limitation: this is cover-only. The crate and bedding aren’t included in the listing. Also, it’s not designed to accommodate top-door crates, so if your crate has a top access door you may find it won’t work as intended.
What you’ll notice day to day
A crate cover doesn’t just look different—it changes what your dog can see. With this model, the idea is that reduced visibility can lower stress-related reactions like barking and chewing.
There’s also flexible door access. The cover is compatible with single, double and triple door crates, and the flaps lift to adjust visibility and ventilation. In practical terms, that means you can open up the doorway area when you want your dog to interact more, then close it back up when you’re aiming for calm downtime.
It’s not perfect for every crate configuration, but it’s a thoughtful choice if your current setup feels too exposed.
Key features that affect convenience
What makes this cover easier to live with is the “no drama” approach.
- The fabric is 100% polyester and designed to be breathable rather than fully sealed.
- Hook-and-loop tabs help keep it securely in place while still letting airflow through.
- It’s machine washable, and the product description also notes it’s dryer friendly.
That combination is handy if you regularly need to clean crate accessories or if your dog likes to get the cover a bit dirty.
Who it suits (and who should think twice)
It makes sense if you:
It’s a solid pick if your dog tends to bark or chew when they can see too much from the crate, and you want a quicker, less “involved” solution than reconfiguring everything.
It suits you if you’ve got a standard 122 cm metal crate and it uses single, double or triple door access rather than a top-door layout.
It may not suit you if your crate is a top-door model, or if you’re expecting the cover to replace anything like a crate liner or bedding—it’s just the cover.

Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a breathable, den-like crate environment without overcomplicating the setup, and you’re specifically dealing with barking or chewing linked to anxiety and exposure.
It might not be a great match if your crate is top-door based, or if you expected a complete crate + bedding solution. In that scenario, you’d be better off focusing on a crate system that matches the access style you already have.
