MidWest Floor Grid for Dog Crate FG36B - Elevated Clean Surface

Our review of the MidWest Floor Grid for Dog Crate FG36B finds it best for owners of intermediate metal crates who want a simple, hygienic way to keep a puppy or small dog elevated and clean inside a kennel. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of fit and practical design: the vinyl coated grid sits above the leak-proof pan to separate paws from waste while still allowing air flow, making crate training and daily cleaning noticeably easier.

Key Features

• Elevated design: Keeps a dog lifted above the leak-proof pan so paws stay clean and any mess is contained below for easy cleanup.
• Model-specific fit: Designed to fit MidWest iCrate 1536 and 1536DD and other listed models, so buyers with those crates get a reliable, secure fit.
• Durable coating: The vinyl coated metal grid with 1/2 in spacing resists wear and provides a comfortable surface for paws while standing up to regular use.
• Improved ventilation: Elevating the dog provides better air circulation under the pet, which can help comfort and reduce odors inside the crate.
• Compatibility with pans: Sits over the crate's leak-proof pan so the pan catches waste and slides out for hygienic cleaning.
• Manufacturer support: Includes a 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty and customer service contact for sizing questions.

Who It's For

This floor grid is ideal for owners of MidWest intermediate metal crates listed in the product details, particularly those crate training puppies or keeping small to intermediate breeds separated from crate mess. It is most useful when you already use the crate's leak-proof pan, since the pan and grid work together to control waste.

People who should look elsewhere include owners of non-compatible crate sizes or those who need a solid, non-grid walking surface; the FG36B is a raised grid and not meant to replace a solid tray or bedding for all-day sleeping on very small breeds.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fits the specified MidWest crate models and secures to the side panels for reliable placement.
• Easy to clean because waste falls to the leak-proof pan and the grid surface wipes down quickly.
• Durable vinyl coating and 1/2 in spacing are gentle on paws while providing long-term use.
• Improves crate training by keeping puppies elevated and dry during learning periods.

Cons

• Some buyers report width can be slightly large on a few crates, so double-check compatibility before purchasing.
• As a grid surface it is not a substitute for a full solid floor or soft bedding for extended rest.

Specifications
