Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires two people. Use a screwdriver (not included) for assembly. Do not overtighten screws.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each panel and hardware piece using the provided parts list (if available in packaging).
2. Assemble Side Panels: Attach the side panels to the bottom panel using the designated screws and connectors. Ensure the pre-drilled holes align.
3. Install Back Panel: Secure the back panel to the assembled side and bottom panels.
4. Attach Top Panel: Place the top panel onto the structure and secure it with screws. The top panel is designed to withstand up to 200 lbs of static weight.
5. Install Doors: Attach the metal door grates to the front frame using the provided hinges. Ensure the doors swing freely.
6. Secure Door Locks: Install the front bolt locks and built-in spring locks on the doors. These locks are designed to fit snugly and minimize noise. The side door can be installed on either the left or right side during this step.
7. Prepare Tray Area: Insert the removable ABS+PP thickened tray into the designated slot at the bottom of the crate. Ensure the felt pads are attached to the bottom of the tray to protect your floor.
8. Install Dog Bowl Holder: Attach the 360° rotatable dog bowl holder to the side of the crate. Place the two 304 stainless steel dog bowls into the holder.
9. Attach Hooks: Secure the double "S" hooks to the side of the crate for hanging toys or leashes.

Operating Instructions

Using the Doors

The crate features double doors with upgraded sturdy door locks. To open, disengage the front bolt lock and the built-in spring lock. To close, ensure both locks engage securely to prevent accidental opening.

Utilizing the 360° Rotatable Dog Bowls

The integrated dog bowl holder allows for flexible feeding. The bowls can be rotated to face either inside or outside the crate, providing easy access for both your pet and for refilling.

The bowls are shown rotating from being inside the crate to being outside, allowing for easy access without opening the main doors. The main image shows the crate with the bowls swiveled inwards.

Using the Removable Tray

The ABS+PP thickened tray slides into the bottom of the crate. It is designed to catch any spills or accidents, keeping the main crate area clean. The tray can be easily pulled out for cleaning.

Maintenance and Care

• Tray Cleaning: The removable tray should be cleaned regularly. Simply slide it out, dispose of any waste, and wash with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
• Crate Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces of the crate with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or be harmful to your pet. For disinfection, use pet-safe cleaning solutions.
• Bowl Cleaning: The stainless steel bowls are dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed with soap and water.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the wooden crate to excessive moisture or humidity, as this can cause warping or damage.

Troubleshooting

• Crate is Wobbly:

  Solution: Ensure all screws are securely tightened. Check that the crate is placed on a level surface. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, paying close attention to alignment.

• Dog Escapes or Chews Crate:

  Solution: This crate is not suitable for dogs with strong chewing habits or those prone to escaping. Consider additional training or a heavy-duty metal crate if your dog exhibits these behaviors. Ensure all door locks are fully engaged.

• Tray Does Not Slide Smoothly:

  Solution: Check for any debris or obstructions in the tray's runners. Ensure the tray is inserted correctly and that the felt pads are properly attached and not hindering movement.
• Bowls are Difficult to Rotate:

  Solution: Ensure the bowls are properly seated in their holder. Check for any food debris or foreign objects obstructing the rotation mechanism. Clean the area if necessary.
