FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the pet basket?
The overall dimensions are Height: 25cm, Length: 77cm, Width (front to back): 58cm. The entrance width is 40cm, and the inside depth is 20cm. When the legs are collapsed, the height is 20cm.
Is this bed suitable for large dogs?
No, this basket is specifically designed for small and medium-sized pets. We recommend checking your pet's size against the internal dimensions (Length: 77cm, Width: 58cm, Inside Depth: 20cm) to ensure a comfortable fit.
How do I clean the pet basket?
The durable plastic material can be easily cleaned by simply wiping it with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they could damage the plastic.
Does the product require any assembly?
Minimal assembly is required. You simply need to unfold and lock the legs into their extended position before use.
Can this basket be used outdoors?
While durable, the basket is primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements such as direct sunlight, rain, or extreme temperatures may affect its longevity and appearance.
Does the basket come with a cushion or bedding?
The product description does not indicate that a cushion or separate bedding is included. It is a basket designed to hold your pet, and you may wish to add your own preferred comfort layer for your pet.
What prevents the bed from sliding on smooth floors?
The feet of the basket are equipped with rubber pads. These pads are specifically designed to help prevent skidding and provide stability on various floor surfaces, including tiles and hardwood.
Is the basket heavy to move around?
No, the basket features a lightweight design. Combined with its collapsible legs, it is convenient for easy storage or moving between different rooms in your home.
Troubleshooting
Basket feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all four legs are fully extended and securely locked into place. Check that the basket is placed on a flat, even surface, and not on uneven flooring or thick carpets that could destabilize it.
Pet is hesitant to use the bed.
Place a familiar blanket, a favorite toy, or an item with your scent in the basket to make it more inviting. Try placing the bed in a quiet, comfortable area your pet already likes to rest in. Gradually encourage them with treats and positive reinforcement.
Persistent odor despite cleaning.
Ensure the basket is thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, and completely dried after washing. The perforated base helps with air circulation, but if odors persist, consider using an enzymatic pet odor neutralizer or placing baking soda underneath any bedding you use. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
Legs are difficult to collapse or extend.
Check for any debris, pet hair, or obstructions in the hinge mechanism of the legs. Apply gentle, even pressure when collapsing or extending. Avoid forcing the legs, which could cause damage to the locking mechanism.
