If the dog has an "accident" in the crate, will it leak out the bottom onto the floor? Also how can you clean it after an "accident"

Urine never leaked on the floor, since we have new carpeting in our bedrooms we always put a bath towel just in case. When she was younger, she weighed about 5lbs so not a lot of urine! We used Lysol disinfectant spray to clean it. She is doing well at 3 months and has accidents only once and a great while. She really liked her crate and sleeps in it still. No crying and for a Boston Terrier I think that is pretty good.

I think it is too rigid to put it in a washer. I really do not think the bottom can be removed....

Never had that happen but I dont think it will leak, the floor looks like a sturdy canvas material that you can wipe down. However I always fold a couple puppy training pads and put it on the bottom of the carrier just in case.

I honestly don't know as my puppy usually doesn't go to the bathroom when I am gone. She did use the puppy pad in there once and there was no mess. She also did spill her water and it didn't go through, however it was close to a puppy pad and most of it seemed to soak up with that, so I haven't had that happen I can't honestly answer 100%, hope this was of some help.

it can be used to kiil urine, so it can be used in a crate. Afterwards I would wash it out as usual.

Trust me if the dog gets thirsty they will smell water and there is always a drop of water near the tip of the bottle that will attract them. Hopefully you will not be crating your dog for such a long period of time that they will get dehyrated if they do not drink while actually in the crate. Hope that makes sense.

Hi, if it helps, I bought the medium crate and I have a West Highland White Terrier...she fits in there fine. I put her in there at night to sleep. She is an old dog and she was peeing on the flooring...now she pees on the pad that I purchased for the crate. It's a great crate, made very well and you can clean the bottom tray of the crate.

I would love to give you a more definitive answer but my dog destroyed the crate. I think you can take the frame out and then you can clean the fabric. I don't know if you can put it in the washer or dryer but you can probably hand wash it and then let it dry. Once you collapse the crate it should come apart. I hope that helps!

I have used two sizes of this crate(Large and Jumbo) and it has yet to scratch my wood floors(oak). That said, I am not dragging the crate around; the crate is primarily used in just one place, not moved often, to keep my two dogs out of mischief at night when i cannot supervise them. Theoretically, a dog who jumps a whole lot might be able to cause scratches on a wood floor, butplacing a polartec fabric piece(1-3 layers thick) under the entire crate before ever using it might be a cost effective way to remove this possibility. Fabric stores or amazon might have such fabric. This has proven to be a wonderful crate for my dogs with no harm to our floors after many months of use.

Never mind. I am look I g at this again. And I think this was the first crate we used for our dog and he grew out of it. I think the one you are ask about was our first crate when he was a puppy and does not fit into now. Sorry I can't be more definitive, but it looks like the first mode.

Depends upon the size of the "pet' and whether solid or liquid "accident". I have used it to vacuum the wetness from a wet accident after cleaning by hand with a sponge, bucket and soapy water...then vacuumed the residual wetness.

Probably just soap and water and let it sit for a while. I've not had any issues with the floor it cleans well. You could also try taking it outside and hosing it off. My yorkie loves his "condo".

It should be ok, but I would give the pup access to water. The attachable tray may or may not work and putting a water dish in the crate is not a good idea - sure to be spilled. Of course, if your pup has been crate trained, then I assume he has spent a whole night in it - 4 hours should not be a problem for a mature dog.

The bottom is waterproof and one solid piece on mine. I use this for my water dragons outside time with a water dish inside . He does splash around and I have never had water leak out , but the sides are mesh an if your dog has a high aim....it will leak out.

Fortunately our dog hasn't had any accidents on the bed. You can remove the outer cover and it would probably wash well in a small washer, but I would think it very likely that any accidents might leak all the way through. You would have to try to wash the inner bed and I'm not sure how that would do in a washer, especially a small one.

I am sorry I cant help as I havent used yet, given mine to my puppy families in their 'puppy pack' , I would imagine just rinsed out as just a water bowl and shouldnt get that dirty ..........maybe gently scrub the dirty spot carefully with a tooth brush .........I am not sure ..............

hmmm. i'm no professional, but since it's hardwood, you might have to sand it out. I'm thinking it's pretty soaked in there. and to "unsoak' it with more liquid will probably trash it. Is the pee in a super visible place? I was thinking maybe you could spray some Fizzion on, then sprinkle it with baking soda or borax, maybe, to suck up the Fizzion and with luck, the cat pee also. But, I have NO IDEA if this will do something crazy to the floor. I'm curious now, I think I'll have to go online and see if someone has come up with a solution! Good luck!

It never said on the box or on the slip that went inside but I think more importantly, the question should be, can your pet stand up completely, turn around, and lay down comfortably with still some room to spare. While your dog is asleep measure the room around him and add a few inches then see which crate matches best.

HI--I checked my dog's crate--there is a larger grid on the bottom--no problem yet with pan sliding. I bought her the mat for it, too, which she loves. It's about 2 in thick, foam covered with a nice fuzzy material, paid about 26 bucks for it My dog weighs 35 lb. She can turn around in it--you know how they do before they lay down. If I were you I would get the next larger size for your dog. I think my gal feels more secure in her crate. Awaiting some T-storms to see if she will go in it then.
