Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your pet carrier and ensure a hygienic environment for your pet.
- Disassembly for Cleaning: To thoroughly clean the carrier, release the side snap clasps to separate the top and base sections. This allows easy access to all internal surfaces and corners.
- Cleaning Procedure: Wash both sections and the door with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling.
- Storage: Store the carrier in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting
- Carrier not closing securely: Ensure the top and base sections are correctly aligned and all four side snap clasps are fully engaged and clicked into place. Check for any obstructions.
- Door not latching: Verify that the transparent door is properly seated in its pivots and that the plastic clips are correctly aligned and pushed to secure the door.
- Pet resistance to entering carrier: Introduce the carrier gradually. Place treats or toys inside. Leave the door open initially to allow your pet to explore. Never force your pet into the carrier.
