About Dean 반려동물 케이지

Dean은 실내에서 생활하는 반려견을 위해 디자인된 애견 케이지입니다. 내부 공간을 재설계하여 머리 위 공간을 확보함으로써, 반려견이 편안하게 앉고 서고 몸을 돌리고 누울 수 있습니다. 메인 프레임은 강도가 높고 부식에 강한 금속 각관으로 제작되었으며, 무독성 코팅 처리로 표면이 매끄럽습니다. 전면 도어를 통해 손쉽게 드나들 수 있고, 상부 패널을 열 수 있어 보호자가 전면 도어를 사용하지 않고도 반려동물과 교감할 수 있습니다. 캐스터는 360도 회전하며 제자리에 고정할 수 있고, 탈착식 트레이가 케이지와 바닥을 청결하게 유지해 줍니다.

Unique Properties: Traditional heavy-duty dog cages are boring and considered ugly by many people. Dean pet cages represent comfort and pet care that are completely different from traditional heavy-duty dog cages. The cage solves the problem of sitting, lying, and standing discomfort encountered by animals in the cage due to insufficient top space by redesigning the interior space of the cage. The cage takes into account the habits of dogs and is designed with a roof-openable Modal Window.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 950mm x Depth 680mm x Height 980mm
Tags: Pet supplies, pet cages, dog cages, outdoor dog cages, dog house
Production Technology: The Dean pet cage uses a strong, corrosion-resistant metal square tubing as a sturdy main frame. The 360-degree rotating lockable casters help you move the kennel easily to prevent accidental movement and hold the kennel securely in place. The cage frame coating is non-toxic and eco-friendly, so you don't need to worry about dogs biting the cage. The surface is smooth, ensuring that your dog does not get scratched. Won't hurt your adorable pet.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in the implementation and research process is to provide enough space for dogs to stretch, stand, turn around, and lie down in limited space. The design must consider sizes suitable for different breeds and body types, while ensuring that it does not take up too much space when used indoors, and ensuring that the dog cage is both comfortable and safe enough to meet the needs of dogs, as well as durable and easy to clean for easy use and maintenance.
Research: In recent years, dogs have been seen as important and close members of the family. Many dog owners tend to buy the most cost-effective products on the market for them. As an indispensable equipment in the process of raising dogs, there are few products on the market that can meet both functional and aesthetic needs. Although most of the current products provide practical solutions, they lack comfort and user-friendliness in design. As the dog grows, the owner's misjudgment of the cage size may lead to the dog's rejection and reluctance to use the cage.
Inspiration: We often encounter discomfort when dogs stand and sit in cages due to the unreasonable design of traditional cage specifications on the market. After the dog needs to bend its body to enter, it can only lie down in the cage, which makes the dog feel uncomfortable. We hope to view this behavior in a more caring way, by redesigning the appearance of the product, reducing the "imprisonment" and "coldness" brought by traditional dog cages.
Project Duration: The project started in Zhengzhou in October 2023 and was completed in Zhengzhou in September 2024.
Operation Flow: The Dean kennel has a front door for easy entry and exit. The roof can be opened, so there is no need to let the dog out, and the owner can easily interact with the pet. The 360-degree rotatable casters help you move the kennel with ease, and all wheels are lockable to prevent accidental movement and hold the kennel securely in place. The removable tray holds flowing stains to keep the internal kennel and exterior floor clean.
