Sizing for Your Dog
To choose the correct size, measure your dog's length from nose to tail while standing, and height from the floor to the top of their head while sitting. The internal crate length should be at least 4 inches greater than your dog's length, and the internal height should be at least 2 inches greater than your dog's sitting height.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For metal bars, use a pet-safe disinfectant. Ensure all surfaces are dry before allowing your pet back inside.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and latches for tightness. Tighten any loose components to maintain stability and safety.
- Floor Care: The solid wood floor makes cleaning easy. For added protection and comfort, use a removable, washable dog bed or mat.

7. Troubleshooting
Noisy Latches
Some users have reported that the sliding bolt latches can be noisy when the dog moves or rattles the doors.
- Solution: Apply soft felt pads or rubber stoppers to the small plates behind the front doors where the latches make contact. This can significantly reduce noise.
- Consideration: If your dog is easily anxious by noise, ensure the kennel is placed in a quiet area, especially during rest periods.
