Snooza 2 in 1 Convertible Crate Cover

Read this first: this is a cover, not a bed, and you size it to your crate rather than to your dog. It is sold on its own, without a crate, and it is cut to fit the Snooza 2 in 1 Convertible Training Crate in the matching size. Buy the cover in the same size as the crate you already own. If your crate is a different brand, measure it before you order, because a cover cut for one frame will not sit properly on another.

What it is for: once a dog is past the early training stage and the crate has become their own spot rather than a lesson, covering it changes the space completely. An open wire crate leaves a dog exposed on all four sides with movement and light coming from every direction. Dropping a fabric shell over it turns the same frame into a dim, enclosed den, which is the shape of space dogs look for on their own when they want to switch off. For a dog who startles at household traffic, or one who will not settle until the house goes quiet, the cover is often what finally lets them sleep through the evening. Roll up door panels mean you can open it back up when you want to, and a mesh window keeps air moving through so it does not turn stuffy.

Size guide

Treat these figures as approximate. Snooza's own product page for the crate cover is no longer online, so the measurements above come from Australian retailer listings, and those sources disagree with each other by roughly 1cm on length and width for both sizes. We would rather tell you that than print a contested number as though it were exact. The practical upshot: measure your crate before ordering, and match the cover to the crate size rather than to a figure on a screen.

How to choose your size

Start with the crate, not the dog. If you already own the Snooza 2 in 1 Convertible Training Crate, order the cover in the same size as the crate and it will fit. If you are buying both together, that is when your dog's size comes in, and Snooza's own guide points medium dogs such as a Beagle, Whippet or terrier to the Large, and large dogs such as a Boxer, Retriever or Dalmatian to the XLarge. A cover slightly too big will drape and sag but still work; a cover too small will not close over the frame at all, so if you are between sizes or unsure of your crate's exact measurements, go up.

One thing we cannot tell you: no source we could find publishes the fabric composition or the wash instructions for this cover, so check the care label on the item itself rather than assuming it is machine washable. And it is worth saying plainly that a cover is a settling aid, not a fix for separation anxiety or for a dog who has never been comfortable in a crate. For the dog who already likes their crate, it makes a good thing better. Looking for a mattress to go inside it? Explore the beds collection for crate sized mats.
