Setting up Cratewear

Please keep in mind that there are no standard dog kennel sizes. Our bedding has been designed to accommodate the majority of crates. For the best fit:  

  • Place the bumper in the crate first. Start by attaching the Velcro at the back corners of the crate and work your way forward. Depending on the size of your crate, the bumper may or may not come all the way to the front edge.
  •  
  • Next, place the mattress in the crate.
  •  
  • Now you're ready to put on the crate cover. All seams should be in the back of the crate not on the top. Crate covers provide privacy and security dogs appreciate.
  •  
  • The x-small crates vary in size from 19” to 22” in length.  To accommodate this, our x-small covers have been lightly stitched at 19”. If your crate is 22” simply remove the stitching on the inside seam. 
  •  
  • In some cases, it may be best to start only with the cover until your puppy is ready for his bedding. Veterinarians and trainers suggest your dog should be supervised while in his crate. If you see him chewing his bedding, promptly remove it and wait until he's over the teething stage. The comfy mattress and bumper will be a great reward for him later as he succeeds in housetraining!
