How Do I Measure or Select a Dog Crate Tray Replacement?

1 - Measure the dog crate pan length and width from edge to edge. Use these measurements to find a pan with the length (longest side of pan) and width (shortest side of pan).

2 - Don't have an existing dog crate tray to measure.

• Measure the width of the opening where the dog crate tray slides into the bottom front of the dog crate, this is the width of the dog crate pan.
• Next, measure the maximum length the dog crate pan can be when the dog crate pan slides into the dog crate.  Remember to look for any obstructions (wire or dog crate pins) when measuring the length and make sure the dog crate pan door can be closed.
