WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Because we care about the safety of you and your pet, we ask that you READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS before  using your new kennel. This kennel is engineered to hold pets safely and securely under normal use for many years of service. When used properly, kennels are an invaluable tool for training and safe travel.

Improper use of this kennel may result in serious injury or even the death of your pet. Please observe the following cautions and guidelines:

• This kennel is not designed to restrain dangerous animals or aggressive dogs.

• To help prevent choking and other serious injuries, always remove all collars, tags, leashes, harnesses and other items, such as pet clothing,  before placing the pet in the kennel.

• Pets should not be left unattended in the kennel until and unless you are certain that the pet will respond properly to being left in the kennel.

• Keep in mind that a pet not specifically and properly kennel trained may attempt to escape, dig and/or chew their way out of the kennel, causing serious harm or death to the pet.

• Consult your veterinarian or trainer to determine an appropriate training method and length of time your pet can safely be left in the kennel.  Every pet has unique needs, so what’s right for one might not work for another.

• Do not place any other items, such as toys or food, in the kennel with your pet unless your veterinarian or trainer says that it is safe to do so.

• Never place more than one pet in the kennel at a time. Each kennel is designed for a specific weight range and provides enough room for only one pet to move about comfortably.

• Do not use kennels in place of outdoor runs or long-term holding cages. Remember that pets need time to socialize, exercise and go potty!

• Consult your veterinarian or trainer to determine the appropriate amount of time that your pet can safely and comfortably be left in their crate.

• Young animals, especially, should be allowed out of their kennel for frequent potty and play breaks. Many adult animals will tolerate kenneling  during a normal workday, but a midday visit for potty breaks and socializing with the animal is strongly encouraged. Also keep in mind the needs of senior pets that might have less bladder or bowel control.

• Please do not allow children to play in, on or around the kennel. Keep the kennel door closed around children to eliminate the hazard of running into hinge and latch pins on an open door.

• Periodically inspect the plastic shell for cracks, especially after exposing the kennel to severe shocks, changes in temperature or other harsh or challenging conditions.

• Never stack kennels with animals inside. Check and tighten the latches and screws periodically, especially before moving your animal in the kennel.

• Discourage aggressive behavior in the kennel. Biting, chewing, licking, ramming or pawing at either the plastic shell or metal wire parts may result in injury to the pet or damage to the kennel.

• Be cautious by slowly closing and opening the kennel door to avoid catching your pet’s paws, ears, tail or snout in the door hinge or latch.

• To avoid heat injury or death, never leave pets in a closed car on a hot day or in direct sunlight. Even if it doesn’t feel hot outside, car windows create a greenhouse effect, and temperatures can rise to well over 100 degrees inside a closed car within minutes! It’s always best to be more cautious and take your pet with you than to guess. Never place the kennel in direct sunlight or leave your pet unattended in the kennel where
  there’s a chance of it being in direct sunlight at any point in the day.

• Keep your pet’s kennel clean to maintain your pet’s hygiene. Nothing’s worse than having to stay inside a messy kennel!

• While we are dedicated to providing the best for your pet, Chewy, Inc. is not responsible for any loss, damage, discomfort, injury, illness, death or costs of any kind as a result of improper use of this product, or for use of this kennel by a pet that has not been properly trained.
