Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your K&H Elevated Dog Bed, consider the following:

• Sagging Fabric: Ensure all frame tubes are fully inserted into the nylon connectors. Over time, fabric may stretch slightly. If sagging becomes excessive, replacement covers are available from K&H Pet Products.
• Pet Not Using Bed: Introduce your pet to the bed gradually. Place familiar toys or treats on the bed to encourage use. Some pets may need time to adjust to an elevated surface.
• Damage: Pets can chew items unexpectedly. If the bed becomes torn or damaged, remove it from use immediately. Seek veterinary attention if any material is ingested by your pet.
• Stability Issues: Verify that all leg tubes are securely attached and the bed is placed on a flat, stable surface.
