35.38 in x 21.88 in Metal Replacement Dog Crate Pan - Chew Proof Tray

In this review the Pinnacle Systems metal crate pan stands out as a practical replacement for plastic liners when durability and pet safety matter most. It is aimed at owners of medium to large dogs or anyone whose pet chews or damages polypropylene pans; the single biggest reason to buy is its all-metal, folded-edge construction that resists chewing, does not emit plastic fumes, and cleans up easily after muddy paws. The tray's simple, rugged design makes it useful not only inside a crate but also for containing shoes, pet bowls or small messy projects.

Key Features

• Chew proof construction: The sturdy metal body prevents dogs from cutting or shredding the liner, offering a long-lasting alternative to brittle plastic pans.
• Safety-focused edges: All sides and corners are folded over so only smooth surfaces contact your pet to reduce the risk of cuts or sharp edges.
• Odor and fume free: Being metal, the tray does not release harsh plastic fumes that can occur with some polypropylene or ABS liners.
• Rust resistant: Galvanized finish provides resistance to rust for indoor use and easy wiping after spills or muddy paws.
• Multi-use utility: The pan doubles as a boot tray, project catch-all, or base for food bowls, increasing its usefulness beyond just a crate liner.

Who It's For

This tray is ideal for owners of medium to large dogs, chewers, and anyone who has had plastic liners crack, split or be swallowed by an inquisitive pet. It also suits people who want an easy-to-clean galvanized surface for muddy gear or cage bottoms for birds and small animals.

Those who prefer a lightweight, foldable plastic liner for travel or who need an insulated or padded floor should look elsewhere, since this is a solid metal pan designed for durability and containment rather than portability or cushioning.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extremely durable and chew resistant compared with plastic liners.
• Folded, smooth edges prioritize pet safety and reduce sharp contact points.
• Easy to clean and odor resistant due to the galvanized metal surface.

Cons

• Heavier and less flexible than plastic pans, so not ideal for frequent moving or travel.
