  • Keep the instruction manual handy for quick reference.
  • Test the crate's stability after assembly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping the Evolv Crate clean is essential for hygiene and longevity. The crate's base and panels can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

For the bed, the Bolstr Evolv Bed has a removable, water-repellent outer cover that you can take off and wash. This makes it easy to keep fresh, especially if your dog has accidents. The Bolstr Spare Outer Cover is a handy replacement if you want an extra cover for rotation.

Regularly check for any loose screws or worn parts. If something breaks, spare parts like the Evolv Base Frame/Playpen Frame or Evolv Doors & Panels - Spare Parts are available to replace them.

  • Wash the bed cover on a gentle cycle and air dry.
  • Wipe down the crate frame weekly to prevent buildup.

Training and Usage

The Evolv Crate is designed to support crate training and play. Using the Evolv Divider, you can gradually increase your puppy's space as they grow, which helps with house training. Start with a small area and expand as your dog becomes more reliable.

When using the crate for training, make it a positive space with treats and comfortable bedding. The Bolstr Evolv Bed fits perfectly inside the crate, providing a cozy spot for your dog to rest.

For playtime, convert the crate into a playpen by removing the ceiling mesh and using the Evolv Base Frame/Playpen Frame. This gives your dog a secure, open-top area to play while still being contained.

  • Use positive reinforcement during crate training.
  • Never use the crate as punishment.
