Petmate Double Door Deluxe Pet Carriers

Gently sloping sides with center rim keep carrier from being placed flush against another surface and cutting off ventilation.

The dial-latch locking system makes it easy to assemble and disassemble.

Made of rugged, easy to clean plastic.

Comfort coated metal handle on top.

This size is ideal for a cat, maltese, pomeranian, chihuahua, or similar sized pet.

Assembly Instructions
The kennel consists of three parts: one plastic top section, one plastic bottom section, and one steel door.

1. Start with kennel top half under bottom half. Separate the two halves and place the bottom half on top half, making sure that the dial latches are in open position.
2. Hold kennel halves apart and place metal door in opening so ends of hinge and latch rods fit in holes. Now fit halves together so hinge and latch rod fall into holes.
3. Once kennel bottom and door are in place, rotate dial latches in direction of arrows to close. Turn kennel right side up. Check dial latches periodically for extra security. For additional security during airline travel, a standard kennel nut and bolt, a small clip, or a padlock on dial latches may be used.

Correct Sizing

Your pet should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie comfortably in kennel. Meets USDA requirements for shipping live animals. Contact your carrier for details before shipping animals.

Cautions

Petmate kennels are engineered to hold pets safely and securely under normal use for many years of service. Used properly, Petmate kennels are an invaluable tool for travel safety and training. Please observe the following cautions and guidelines:

• When pet will travel by air, check with the airline at least two weeks in advance for their specific rules and requirements.
• Do not use Petmate 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 a normal workday, but a midday visit for airing and socializing with the animal is strongly encouraged.
• To avoid strangulation, never leave a pet unattended with a choker collar on, including inside a kennel.
• Do not allow children to play in, on, or around the kennel. Keep kennel door closed around children to eliminate 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 or challenging conditions.
• Check and tighten 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. 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; temperatures can rise to well over 100 degrees (F) inside a closed car within minutes. Similarly, never leave a pet unattended in its kennel in direct sunlight.

Important: Positive training will help your pet to accept this product as a desirable place to rest. Introduce pet to its kennel while supervising. Start with the door open and leave familiar items or treats in kennel. Once the pet enters on its own, close the door, observing and soothing pet as needed. Never use this product for punishment. Leave the pet's line of sight for increasing periods until the pet stays calm. Never leave your pet alone and confined for extended periods. Chewing, scratching, or biting at any part of the kennel may result in injury. These behaviors indicate that more training is needed and they should be discouraged gently.
