Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Crate feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or incorrect assembly. | Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Review the assembly video and instructions to confirm correct installation of all parts. |
| Door latches do not secure properly. | Misalignment during assembly or damaged latch. | Check door alignment and ensure the latch mechanism is installed correctly. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
| Feeder bowls are difficult to adjust or swivel. | Mechanism obstruction or damage. | Ensure no debris is obstructing the spring switch or sliding mechanism. Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant if movement is stiff. If damaged, contact support. |
| Dog is chewing on crate components. | Natural dog behavior, especially for puppies or anxious dogs. | While the crate is chew-resistant, no crate is entirely chew-proof. Provide appropriate chew toys. Consider anti-chew sprays. Ensure your dog is not left unsupervised for extended periods if they are prone to destructive chewing. |
