Maintenance

• Cleaning: The carrier is made from easy-to-clean materials. For minor spills or dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, the fabric can be spot cleaned. Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.
• Mat Care: The plush mat can typically be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry or tumble dry on low. Refer to the mat's care label for specific instructions.
• Storage: To fold the carrier for storage, release the frame locking mechanisms (if applicable) and collapse the sides. Secure with any integrated straps or clips. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

• Carrier not unfolding properly: Ensure all frame components are aligned and gently apply pressure until they click into place. Do not force.
• Pet resists entering the carrier: Introduce the carrier gradually. Place treats or familiar items inside. Allow your pet to explore it at their own pace. Never force a pet into the carrier, as this can create negative associations.
• Zippers sticking: Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
