Operating Instructions

This soft dog crate offers versatility for various situations.

• Pet Entry/Exit: Use the zippered front, side, or top doors to allow your pet to enter or exit the crate. Ensure zippers are fully closed when the pet is inside to prevent escape.
• Ventilation and Visibility: The mesh windows and doors provide ample ventilation and allow your pet to see their surroundings, reducing anxiety.
• Portability: Utilize the integrated handle for carrying the crate when moving it short distances. For longer transport, especially with a pet inside, ensure the crate is stable and secure.
• Storage Pockets: Use the side pockets to store essential items such as treats, waste bags, or a leash.
• Placement: The crate can be used indoors as a comfortable den, in a car trunk for travel, or during outdoor activities like camping. Always ensure the crate is placed on a stable, level surface.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your pet carrier.

• Faux Fleece Mat: The removable faux fleece mat is washable. Remove it from the crate and follow the care instructions on its label for cleaning. Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat, or air dry.
• Fabric Exterior: For the Oxford fabric exterior, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash the entire crate body as it may damage the metal frame and fabric structure.
• Mesh Windows: Wipe mesh areas with a damp cloth to remove dirt or pet hair.
• Zippers: Periodically check zippers for smooth operation. Clean any debris that may hinder their movement.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the crate is clean and dry before folding and storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your Feandrea Soft Dog Crate.

• Crate Not Standing Firmly: Ensure all metal frame tubes are fully inserted into their connectors and sleeves. Check that the buckles (if any) are securely fastened to maintain the crate's shape.
• Zippers Sticking: Clean any pet hair or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve smoothness.
• Pet Chewing/Scratching Fabric: While the Oxford fabric is durable, persistent chewing or scratching can cause damage. Consider using chew deterrent sprays or providing appropriate chew toys to redirect your pet's behavior. Ensure your pet is comfortable and not overly stressed when left in the crate.
• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure all internal components (like the mat) are removed before attempting to fold. Check for any obstructions or misaligned frame parts. Follow the assembly/disassembly steps in reverse for folding.
