How do you leave water for the pet when they're closed in the crate?

I use a hanging bucket with one flat side that hangs inside the crate for my dog. Amazon sells the flat hanging buckets as do some other pet supply stores.

You could clip a small bucket to the door or side grate. You can find flat sided buckets in pet supply stores.

I don't. I only have her in there with the gate shut when I am around e.g. visitors, vacuuming etc.It has a plastic tray bottom so one could put a container in the corner and it would not matter if it spilt.

First of all, a crate isn't intended for such long periods of time that your pet would be suffering from thirst! Second, it is not a good idea to leave water in the crate especially when they will be unable to relieve themselves.A pet should be confined to a crate AFTER they have relieved themselves so they will be comfortable. This isn't a "boarding" kennel.

Once filled, these units are not very portable; if you fill with water, add enough pet-safe (non-toxic) antifreeze to keep from freezing based on the expected average lowest temperature for your area.

The latches on my crate has holes so you can slide a lock pin through it. I'd suggest going to the local hardware store. Carabeeners work great too and they are cheap and can be found in just about any store.

I believe you are supposed to keep pets off for a certain period of hours. Check label or call company if it doesn't have specifics. It will be safe after alotted time

Make sure the water is ambient temperature. Then, I usually prime the the water bottle before placing it in the cage. I hold it upright (as if it were mounted in the cage) and I use the fork tine to prime it, this give the water bottle the back pressure it needs. I do this repeatedly until no water drips appear. The trick is to get sufficient back pressure in the bottle. Do not use any grease as this may be toxic to your pet.

I just remove one bowl and use a scoop to fill bowl with food. Only thing I don't like is the water can get in the food if your dogs are sloppy drinkers, mine did not attend etiquette classes so they are sloppy drinkers!

Put the litter box in last or just put shredded paper on the lowest tray. They will spill in their upset state. I partially covered mine with a blanket to hide the movers. Opened it a bit at a time in the new place.

You close it yourself as soon as you're done throwing things out. Both of my dogs and most importantly, my garbage-hunting cat haven't been able to get into this can. They can't knock it over either.

try leaving it unplugged for a little bit till the dog is drinking from it. After about two days of drinking out of plug it back in.

The pad itself is a waterproof type of foam. The floor of the crate itself is just like the other walls of the crate, but in a different color(black). I doubt that it is waterproof although it might be treated with some kind of water repellent. My pup has never wet inside the crate, but she only sleeps in it overnight. She isn't left in it if we go away. I keep a towel inside the crate, over the pad since she "nests" and would tear the pad cover apart very quickly..

Keep it in a remote area and slowly move it into the common area of the home. Once the cat feels safe start leaving a door open for it to come abd go. If it gets scated it will run back to the crate for protection. Mine live in their crates, they feel safe in them. Doors are always open to allow them to cone and go.

I keep them in a plastic shoe box with holes in the lid, I use the egg crate, & I also use the clear liquid gel to keep water in there for them. I crush up dog food and parrot pellets to feed them and they do fine for months.

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

we leave the side and back covers down and when it's time for her to come out of the crate we just lift up the front panel, open up the gate and she's out! if we want to keep her in there we can always lift up all 4 covers so she gets plenty of air. When the covers are up, we just fold them back in lieu of rolling them up per the picture so opening the doors is never a hassle. I hope that helps!

Leave it attached to the tank so that it's readily available to use if you need it. You can store it out of the way until you need it again. Maybe in a top corner of the tank.

I put puppy pee pads under the cage that extend about 6 inches past all edges of the cage. Hope that helps!

I use a sponge mop dipped in soapy water after the dogs leave their paw prints. I bought extra too in case something really happened.
