6. Choosing the Right Size for Your Dog

To ensure your dog's comfort, it is important to select a crate that is appropriately sized. The YITAHOME Dog Crate Furniture (Model MAYIH6CkjL) has overall dimensions of 55" L x 23.4" W x 31.2" H, suitable for medium dogs. Use the following guidelines to determine if this size is appropriate for your pet:

• Measure Length: Have your dog stand on all four feet. Measure from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail. Add 4 inches to this measurement.
• Measure Height: Have your dog sit upright. Measure from the floor to the tallest point of their head. Add 4 inches to this measurement.
• Comfort Tip: If you want your dog to stay comfortable, measure them when they are lying down and sprawled out, as they would normally sleep.

Your dog should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably within the crate.

7. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish or be harmful to pets. The stainless steel bowls are dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed with soap and water.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the wooden components to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, as this can cause warping or fading.

8. Troubleshooting

• Problem: Parts are missing or damaged upon arrival.

  Solution: Contact YITAHOME customer support immediately with your order details and a description of the issue. The product is shipped in 2 packages, ensure both have arrived.
• Problem: The crate feels unstable after assembly.

  Solution: Double-check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are fully tightened. Ensure the crate is placed on a level surface.

• Problem: The sliding door or feeder drawer does not move smoothly.
