Operating Instructions

• Adjusting Dog Bowls: The kennel includes a three-level adjustable dog bowl stand. To adjust the height, simply lift and reposition the bowls to the desired level suitable for your dog's size.
• Feeding and Watering: The half-open door design above the bowls allows for easy access to add food and water from the outside without needing to enter the kennel.
• Supervision: While the kennel provides a secure space, always supervise your dog, especially during initial use, to ensure they are comfortable and safe.

• Inspection: Periodically check all parts for wear and tear, especially the mesh, fasteners, and the roof cover. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Rust Prevention: The galvanized iron pipes are designed to resist rust, but regular cleaning and ensuring proper drainage will extend their lifespan.
