CAUTIONS
Kennels are engineered to hold pets safely and securely under normal use for many years of service. Used properly, kennels are an
invaluable tool for training and safe travel. Please observe the following cautions and guidelines.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ACCOMPANYING THIS KENNEL BEFORE USING IT.
• This kennel is not designed to restrain aggressive breeds of dogs.
• Never use a kennel as a method of punishment.
• Improper use of this kennel may result in serious injury or even the death of your pet.
• To avoid choking and other serious injuries, remove all collars, 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 alone
in the kennel.
• Among other things, a pet not specically trained to be contained in the kennel may attempt to escape, dig and/or chew out of the
kennel, causing serious harm or death to the pet.
• Make sure all corner locks and side wall latches are engaged and secured before leaving pet inside kennel.
• Consult your veterinarian or trainer to determine an appropriate training method and length of time your pet can safely be left
in the kennel.
• Pet should have access to food and water at all times while in kennel.
• Do not place any other items, such as toys, in the kennel with your pet unless your veterinarian or trainer advises you that it is safe
to do so.
• Do not place more than one pet in the kennel at a time.
• We are not responsible for any loss caused by improper use of this product or for use of this kennel by a pet that has not been
properly trained.
• Do not use kennel without its plastic pan.
• Do not use kennel with a broken plastic pan. For information on ordering a replacement plastic pan, go to petmate.com or
call 1-877-738-6283.
• Do not let pet inside kennel without plastic pan-locking device engaged.
• Do not use kennels in place of outdoor runs or long term holding cages. Young animals should be allowed out of their kennel well
before the limits of their bladder and bowel control will tolerate. Many adult animals will tolerate kenneling during half a normal
workday.
• Do not allow children to play in, on or around the kennel. Keep kennel door closed around children to avoid the hazard of protruding
hinge and latch pins.
• Periodically inspect the plastic shell for cracks, especially after exposing the kennel to severe shocks, changes in temperature or
other harsh and challenging conditions.
• If any structural component is discovered to be broken or is missing, stop use of kennel immediately.
• Do not attempt to make any repairs or modications to this kennel. Doing so will void warranty.
• 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. These are excluded under the product’s warranty.
• Exercise caution when closing and opening the kennel door to avoid catching pet’s paws, tail or snout in mechanism.
• Avoid heat injury or death: never leave pets in a closed car on a hot day or in direct sun. Car windows have a greenhouse effect
and temperatures can rise to well over 100 degrees inside a closed car within minutes! Similarly, never leave a pet unattended in its
kennel in direct sunlight.
• Kennel should be cleaned routinely for the hygiene of the pet.
