Can the dogs toes or paws get stuck in the grate if they move too fast in it?

My German Shepard never got his paws stuck. I kept a blanket on the bottom at all times just In case but we never had a problem with that, just with him breaking out of it /:

I have not had a problem with it. I have a police k9 german shepherd and it works great for him. Tiny dogs might have an issue.

Depending on the size of the dog, I suppose it's possible. We leave a blanket in the corner for ours to sleep on so it doesn't seem to bother her. I will say that the spot welds recently popped on the floor of the crate so the corner sags. I rigged it with a zip tie (don't judge) because i worried about her foot slipping and getting pinched. we are back to good with that modification. It's not a perfect crate, but doe the money, I won't complain. My only perfect crate was a custom built $600 crate for my husky years ago.

I would think that would be easy to train your puppy to find the grate outside and use that spot if that's what the puppy is used to going on inside. I have not done that with any of my dogs but am fairly confident it can be done since dogs are such creatures of habit.

They can be trapped just like a dog but most domestic animals don't use their paws to retrieve foods. Cats would be more at risk.

Should be no problem. Be sure to keep the pads clean.If they do not use it try removing the grate.

The grate should be removed for the rabbit's sake. If the cage is cleaned regularly, there won't be any messy feet to deal with.

I am using this grate at this time and in my bedroom a chair leg is on this grate and my dog jumps on the chair all the time. after several months that I have had these it is holding up just fine. Hopes this helps

Very unlikely. It moves pretty slow so once it starts rotating they will be too concerned with the food to put a paw in the empty tray.

It shouldn't if your dog still squats to pee. It is in two sections that wrap around each hind leg. I had trouble figuring out how it goes on at first. It does not come with directions! Otherwise it's good.

The paws will be wet but not "dripping" so yes, you would probably want to use a towel.

To prevent sticking after cleaning the company recommends sprinkling a small amount of cornstarch in the booty to prevent sticking. A small amount goes a long way. If too much powder is placed in the booty they will slide off the dog's paws very easily. talc powder or cornstarch

I have tile floors, and they don't move at all. My dog is a German Shepherd 105 pounds.

It would work fine if the dog is going to stay put. But if the dog is leaping about, the claws might rupture the membrane. It's designed to be walked on, then the dog lays down and goes to sleep. Four paws with claws leaping about would probably cause an early failure

The floor is semi-rigid. If it were more rigid than it is, it'd be uncomfortable for the dog.

Hello Lisa: I have an 85lb Samoyed who slips on wood and tile floors and he will not step on them without his boots on. As you know Florida does not have much snow...so I do not know if this will transfer from floors to snow. But he and I are well satisfied with the boots.Have a great and Blessed day.Kreutzer

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

Possibly... The grooves are pretty deep so some might get stuck at the bottom, depending on how aggressive your dog would be to get it all. We use ours for dry food only, and it has really slowed our dog down!
