• Set Up the Kennel
Place the kennel on a flat, level surface in a safe, dry location in your garden or yard.
Ensure the kennel is positioned away from potential hazards and extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds or flooding areas.
• Ensure Comfort
Line the floor with comfortable bedding, such as a dog mat, cushion, or straw, to provide your dog with a cosy space to rest.
Ensure fresh water and food are readily available in the kennel or nearby.
• Secure the Kennel
Double-check that the tower bolts on the doors are properly fastened to keep your dog secure inside the kennel.
Check the dog run panels to ensure they are stable and that the 5 cm gaps provide safe ventilation without posing any escape risks.
• Routine Maintenance
Regularly inspect the kennel for any damage or wear. Clean the kennel and replace bedding as needed to maintain hygiene.
Ensure the roof and felt covering remain intact to continue providing weather protection for your dog.
• Adjust for Seasonal Changes
During colder months, add extra bedding to help keep your dog warm. Consider using a dog-safe heater if the temperatures drop significantly.
In hot weather, ensure your dog has plenty of shade and fresh water to keep them cool and comfortable.
The Benchmark Dog Kennel is designed for easy setup and maintenance, providing your dog with a secure, comfortable outdoor shelter for many years.
