FAQs
What is the house made of?

How often should I clean the house?
Clean the house at least once a week, or more frequently if needed, depending on your pet's habits and the amount of waste produced.

What if my pet doesn't use the house?
Try placing the house in a quiet area and adding familiar bedding or treats to encourage your pet to explore it.

The dimensions are 400 mm (width) x 230 mm (depth) x 320 mm (height).
