Has anyone had luck placing the crate into a LARGER crate pan, whereas to prevent the dog from getting to the edges of it?

No, my boy does not fuss with the pan. They would then be laying in the wire bottom, if I am understanding what you are asking.

I didnt put it in a crate, I use it for a wewe pad ... Sorry I can't answer the question of the size of the crate.

I suppose it could but most likely the dog would slip on the surface. I've never personally stood on the crate and would likely place a board or nonstick surface on top of the crate. I would also contact the manufacturer to see if the roof can support the weight.

The wheels are only on one end, not both, so I would say no because the dog would slide to the far end of the crate as soon as you pick up the handle to move the crate. Picture this more like a suitcase that you would pick up on one end and pull behind you.

There is a very slight molded edge facing down, so essentially, no lip..but material is thin more of a topical protection than a barrier..so if crate has any sharp edges, may be a problem

No. This is a great crate. Very well built and durable. The metal pan is what sold me. I have a 70 pound golden and the crate has held up great so far.

I also have an older crate, 9 years to be exact. It does in fact measure 42 X 24 and it is very hard to find a replacement pan for it. I will keep searching though, I refuse to spend the money for a new crate when this one is still just fine.

My 2 morkies have not been able to shred the pad in this holder . we have had it now several months...the last two holders didnt stop them from making a mess of the pad before I even left the house. I believe the reason is that this one actually locks the pad in by sliding into groove and locking down on little round knubs....please note it is not small enough to put in a large crate.

I wouldn't recommend this one for that the space is only about 3/4 inch, on the largest, so it may be very difficult to get the soft food out if you have a very big dog.

It was designed for the Icrate. But, as long as it's the same inside measurement as your old pan, it should work. I bought a replacement pan on Amazon and it was pretty pricy. When I needed a second crate, I bought mine from this company for my Dobie, because he needed a bigger kennel than my Staffie. Hayneedle dot com. They are a business partner of Amazon. You can buy a new crate almost for the price of a replacement pan. http://www.hayneedle.com/product/midwesticratefoldingdogcrate.cfm

Yes. I now use it instead of the metal crate used for years. Both small dogs seem to prefer.

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.

I use an old comforter in it for my Pit Bull to lay on, thinking the wire would catch his toenails. When the blanket is pushed out of the way or being washed, the dog doesn't seem to have an issue just standing in the grate itself. This crate has been great for our needs thus far!

No. Does not go under the crate. Lays on top and 4 sides drop down over the crate. Can attach side flaps to each other with velcro or leave unfastened. Use mine with top and 3 sides covered and flap up on side with door.

My experience has been that pans supplied with the crates are not as substantial as the replacement pans and while stronger, neither will be indestructible against a determined animal. We have had very good results with the replacement pans with me breaking them in cold weather, cleaning them, rather than the dogs damaging them. I believe no dog has broken a replacement pan.

I have a scottish terrier puppy and he did get under it. I placed bricks around the inside parameter and that worked like a charm. Very nice kennel and easy to move. I just wish I could find a replacement cover...just in case mine ever tears.

hi, it's a very big crate that would accomodate my newf, but she doesn't find it stable enough. she prefers the wire crates.
