GORILLA GRIP Dog Crate Cover for 36 in Wire Kennel - Light Reducing

Our review of the GORILLA GRIP dog crate cover finds it best for pet owners who want a simple way to create a calm, den-like space for a small to medium dog. The single biggest reason to consider this cover is its light reducing design combined with breathable mesh, which helps settle anxious pets while still allowing airflow and visibility when needed. It is a practical, machine washable crate topper that fits a standard 36 in wire kennel and balances darkening the interior with adjustable ventilation for everyday indoor use.

Key Features

• Durable construction: The stain and tear resistant fabric with reinforced stitching aims to stand up to regular use and washing.
• Light reducing design: The cover creates a darker den-like environment to reduce outside distractions and help calm anxious pets.
• Breathable mesh windows: Front and back mesh panels can be opened or closed to add visibility or increase airflow as needed.
• Opens at all sides: Side flaps roll up and tie so the cover works with crates that have one, two, or three door openings.
• Stays in place: Hook and loop fasteners at seams and bottom corners secure the cover to the crate for a reliable fit.
• Easy care: The cover is machine washable for convenient cleaning after regular indoor use.

Who It's For

This cover is well suited to owners of small to medium dogs who use a 36 in wire kennel and want to create a calmer sleeping or training space. It is particularly useful for puppy training, nighttime rest, or for dogs that benefit from a darker, den-like environment.

Customers who need a heavy-duty outdoor solution or a cover for a non-standard crate shape should look elsewhere; also, buyers seeking premium industrial-grade seam construction may want to compare options, since some reviews report mixed long-term durability for the stitching and fasteners.
