Anyone know, can you put floor grates in these crates so that the dogs aren't sitting directly on the plastic floor? If so, which ones/size?

Midwest sells a variety of floor grids; but I do not see one that exactly fits the dimensions of the stackable crate. 36 x 23. Midwest part number FG30A with dimensions of 30 x 22.75 will fit but will not cover the entire floor.

If you don't put the wheels on, they could be stacked, but are not really made to be stacked. If you have a dog that is active or moves around a lot the stacked crate will slide off. You probably could secure them with bungee cords, but I have never done it. They are however great crates. We go to 30-40 dog agility trials a year and have been using these type of crates for 15 years. We have two old ones that we use for barn/dirt trials and the newer Pet Trekkers for other trials. Solid, fold easily, pretty much chew proof, easy to clean and solid enough to use as a table at trials.

I have no idea, but I love the cage. You would probably have to give them a flooring right? I think its a great cage for the price and have zero complaints. Very roomy and I like that it is wide.

The crates with the metal vents are almost always Vari-Kennels. They went to the cut-out slots later to make the crate cheaper to make.

We have two crates, both for small dogs. It would be too small for anything larger than a medium sized dog (a Cocker Spaniel).

A bed that will fit the entire crate. The divider stays an inch or two off the floor of the crate, it allows room for a full sized bed. I had no trouble with either of my crates using their dividers on top of full sized beds. Just make sure the bed doesn't have a HUGE outer edge and you're fine.

Yes! I went to Lowe's and purchased a 4X3 Ft Rubber Mat/Rug from the flooring department, it also stopped the Pet Crate from sliding on the floor when my Golden Retriever goes in and out of it.

They might fit, but I don't know if it would be comfortable for an extended amount of time. I have 2 and am using one for a mini aussie and another for a puppy. I could probably fit another mini aussie in the crate for a short period if I needed to, but I wouldn't do it for an extended amount of time. Also, I am not pleased with these crates at all. They are hard to put together and do not stay put together unless I use zip ties. The only thing that I like about them is that the door can open either way. If I had to do it over I would have purchased the Petmate Ultra vari dog kennel as I have one and it is a much better plastic kennel.

yes you can. I used it for chinchillas and filled the bottom tray with bedding without the grate.

grating on floor, too. excellent crate! (FYI, my dogs have occasionally been able to unlatch doors, so i need caribiner reinforcements)

Yes, I removed grate and sides. Bottom solid. I have 6lb Pomeranian female. Use litter box type with male. Taught her "in the box" and "out of the box" like a circus dog, because she was afraid at first. Went to confined area with bed, box and food so she would have no choice. NOW everything is perfect. I fold the pad smaller so she is not one leg in and the other out lazy, LOL.

not sure what you are asking; we put metal dog crates on these and it was awful; unsteady, didn't roll well; had to remove and not use them again

You really can put it either way but, I found that if you put the grate on top of the tray you can not hang things like toys from the top inside of the cage. So, my parrot like the grate under the tray :)

R. Taylor is correct. You can put 2 together if the door placements line up. I have 2 of the 3 door crates and have them next to each other with the adjoining doors removed. I originally planned on letting each dog have its own crate but they seemed unhappy about that so took the facing doors out and now they share the 2 crates. Occasionally they get to fighting and then I just drop 1 of the doors down between the 2 crates and they have their own space. I highly recommend the 3 door crates for their versatility.

No. I would not recommend it because these crates are not wide like a grooming table and the crates are collapsible.

Absolutely. My dog did the same thing to the steel and plastic. Don't waste another dime. Buy this crate. Get the big one. I don't have the wheels on mine. He's great in it. Best thing I bought for him.

I have two of these crates. My 120 lb mix and my 90lb GSD are each comfortable in theirs. Hope this helps.
