Frisco Plastic Dog & Cat Kennel, Almond & Black

1. Separate the top section from the bottom section and loosely place the top half on the bottom half.
2. Lift the front of the top section as shown, and put the steel door in place by setting the bottom two rods into the holes on the bottom section (a). Insert the top two rods into the holes on the top section (b).
3. Make sure the top and bottom sections are aligned. Secure the top to the bottom by pushing down the seven snap latches that are attached to the top half. If something seems off, make sure the top and bottom are still aligned before snapping the remaining latches shut. Check the latches before each use to make sure the two halves are securely attached.
4. To open the door, squeeze the two pins together and then pull on the door while keeping the pins together.
5. For airline security purposes only, insert nylon zip tie (not included) through hole behind latch and secure tightly.

Care Instructions

To give your pet the most comfortable home away from home, clean the kennel routinely with a mild, non-toxic cleaner and water.

How to select the best size kennel:

1. While your dog is standing, measure your dog from the tip of their nose to base of their tail.
2. While your dog is sitting or standing, measure your dog from the top of their head to the floor.
3. Add 4 inches to determine maximum measurements. Remember, your dog should be able to stand up and turn around while in their kennel.

This carrier is approved for airline travel, but it is important to always check with your airline to make sure you understand their guidelines for flying with pets.

Can this kennel be used in the car?

Yes, but it is recommended to go on a test run first. Before using the kennel to take your pet someplace she doesn’t want to go, like the vet, do a practice run and go somewhere fun. Take her on an adventure to the dog park, dog beach, a friend’s house, or even just around the neighborhood and back so that being in the kennel isn’t a cause for her to be scared or upset.
