Does this block the light from entering the crate well? I am sick of using blankets to block out the light, so my puppy doesn't bark in the morning.

I sent this back it was too cheaply made. The Dog Crate cover for Midwest iCrate are much more durable & very well made. They are made of canvas material & cover all four sides of the crate. The front & back flaps of this cover can be unzipped on both sides & rolled up & stay in place with velcro keepers...super nice crate cover!

Yes, it blocks out the light. However if your puppy is like mine and can pulls the cover in the kennel he will shred it to pieces in a matter of seconds. It is a very light fabric that they can rip up.

I bought 2 of these for my labs - they have a very study velcro strap that can be tightly secured around their collars. I have a set of collars for them that I always use, so I do not remove the lights from the collar. I believe putting them on and taking them off all the time would be a royal pain! But my dogs play heard and roll over - we have not lost one yet. I have tried numberous lights over the past couple of years - these are by far the best I've encountered.

It dims the light. However if your wanting a total non see thru shade. This isn't it. If your a seamstress or know one. You could have an outdoor fabric attached to the inside view. And that would solve privacy issue. A solid color close to the shade color would be nice. Hope this helps ya out :-)It is The Best by far @ blocking out the sun... Couldn't sit on screen porch in afternoon before purchasing 2 of these.

It is going to show light through it but it is heavily diffused. I put this up to block sunrays that come in at an odd angle blinding us. Now my hall window still provides nice soft light but is a fraction of the brightness and keeps temps down.

The cover on the bed feels like soft denim. I always throw a soft blanket on top of the bed so I don't have to take the cover off and wash it as often. It's just easier to wash a blanket! It will NOT stand up to chewing, so if your pooch is a chewer, then I definitely recommend blankets on top to dissuade naughty habits. The bed itself is awesome... wish I had found it earlier.

Hey Jack! I have a young german shepherd mix with TERRIBLE separation anxiety. We have had the crate for several months, and she has never even come close to getting out. She actually gave up trying to get out, and calmed down quite a bit. This is the only crate that I 110% trust.

No top. My dog kept jumping out. I put a mesh cloth over it and zip tied it and he still kept getting out. So I videoed him as I left and he would climb the gate and crawl out of a small opening of the mesh. Lil bugger lol. I ended up trading a friend for a large crate. The cage is big and would be awesome if my dog wasnt a jumper. Maybe you can get large sheets of plywood and put it on top?

Mine didn't come with velcro, but I use some just the same. My only complaint about the light was when my dog, Sadie, was facing away from me, I couldn't always see the light. I used the velcro to attach the light to the top of the collar. Now I can always see light. I like the light so much that I bought a second one so Sadie has a light on the front and back of her collar. If she gets near the road, she will be seen.

It seems to block light pretty well overall. Sometimes there is a little that creeps in on the bottom, but usually it is just a matter of pulling the mask down a little bit more so that it is sitting right. I can't promise perfection, but I haven't found anything better yet.

I would contact the company they are easy to get ahold of and responsive. Depending on the crate it would seem easy enough to do with zip ties...I have mine set up as long dog runs for my poms in the house with bed - grass area and feeding area. The other one is set up as a play area as they are babies - and they stay safe when I'm not watching.

I probably never have my dog in a crate for that long, but from my exposure to the mat I would said it will not stay cold that long and it might well keep some of your dogs heat and pass it back to him. I am just not sure about that. Sorry!

No. But I put a soft dog bed on it and our dog does well with it. At first she had crate anxiety but now she will lay in it on her own with the door open so it must be comfortable. Hope this helps!

Hi Bill,You can indeed cover the white cover where the light shines without hindering the Bark Stop function.However please keep in mind that this WILL block the motion sensor should you decide to use the unit as a Yard Sentinel pest repeller in the future.Regards,Rick JCustomer serviceDeal Republic

It's possible that a small amount of light may leach through unless you're careful and use a lot of tape as the light is rounded around the dial. But it would be way better than what comes through without tape. It's pretty bright. If I needed to use tape (I don't as this is in the living room, not my bedroom) and there still was a small patch of light I'd just turn the unit around to face the wall. Without the tape that wouldn't make a difference but WITH tape it absolutely would.

No. Does not go under the crate. Lays on top and 4 sides drop down over the crate. Can attach side flaps to each other with velcro or leave unfastened. Use mine with top and 3 sides covered and flap up on side with door.

It sounds like your crate might be defective. Check that the door is properly inserted in the holes before securing it. I have had absolutely no problems with doors on any of my crates. When they are used for travelling I secure the door with plastic ties (or the airline personnel usually will do this) just to be on the safe side.
