Quick Answer
Regularly inspect your Evolv crate's doors, panels, and divider for wear, and replace them with genuine Diggs spare parts when they show cracks, warping, or damage. Use the Evolv Divider for growing puppies and swap out the Bolstr cover when it becomes worn or stained.
Evolv Divider
Your Diggs Evolv crate is built to last, but even the best gear needs occasional attention. Doors, panels, and covers face daily wear from scratching, chewing, and cleaning. A simple maintenance checklist helps you catch small issues before they become safety hazards or costly repairs.
This guide walks you through the key spare parts for the Evolv system, explains when to replace each one, and shares care tips to extend their lifespan. Whether you're a first-time owner or a seasoned pro, you'll know exactly what to check and when to act.
Why Spare Parts Matter for Your Evolv Crate
The Evolv crate is a 2-in-1 dog crate and playpen, designed to adapt as your dog grows. Its modular design means you can replace individual components instead of buying a whole new crate. That's good for your wallet and the environment. But it also means you need to know which parts are replaceable and how to spot when they need attention.
Common signs that a spare part is needed include cracked or warped doors, panels that no longer fit snugly, or a divider that has bent out of shape. Ignoring these issues can compromise your dog's safety and the crate's structural integrity. Regular checks—say, once a month—help you stay ahead of problems.
- Check doors and panels for cracks or warping monthly.
- After cleaning, inspect for water damage or rust on metal parts.
- Keep spare parts on hand for quick replacements.
Door and Panel Care: When to Replace
The Evolv Doors & Panels - Spare Parts and Evolv Doors & Panels - Add-Ons let you replace individual door or panel sections. If your dog has scratched or chewed a door, or if a panel has cracked from impact, swapping it out is straightforward. Look for warping or gaps that could let your dog escape or get a paw caught.
When replacing, match the size and configuration to your crate model. The add-on option allows you to expand or modify your crate setup, which is handy if you're converting from crate to playpen mode. Always ensure the new part clicks securely into place.
- Check door latches for wear—replace if they don't close firmly.
- Clean panels with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Store spare panels in a dry place to prevent warping.
The Evolv Divider: Essential for Puppy Training
The Evolv Divider is a must-have for crate training puppies. It shrinks the crate's interior, helping with house training and preventing accidents. Over time, the divider can get bent or chewed, especially if your puppy is teething. Inspect it regularly for sharp edges or bends that could injure your pup.
If the divider is damaged, replace it promptly. It's an affordable part that makes a big difference in training success. Also, as your puppy grows, you'll move the divider to give more space—check that it slides smoothly and locks in place each time.
- Adjust the divider as your puppy grows—don't leave it too cramped.
- Check for chew marks that could create sharp edges.
- Clean the divider with a damp cloth; dry thoroughly.
Caring for the Bolstr Bed Cover
The Bolstr Spare Outer Cover is a practical investment for keeping your dog's bed clean. It's water-repellent and durable, designed to resist scratching and chewing. Having a spare cover means you can swap one out for washing while your dog still has a comfy place to sleep.
