Does the 48 Inches Dog Kennel include a plastic tray for easy cleaning?

You must ensure your kennel floor space can accommodate the 48 x 30 x 35 inch footprint before placing the unit. Clear a level area for the four rolling casters to move smoothly.

The included bottom pan allows for quick waste removal and storage

The included bottom pan allows for quick removal to clear out waste. Because large dogs produce significant waste, a tray’s weight capacity when wet is a critical factor for preventing sag or cracks. The data does not state the specific weight capacity of the tray or its chemical resistance to heavy-duty cleaners. This matters because certain chemicals can degrade plastic, causing it to become brittle or leach odors into the kennel. The tray is included in the box, providing a complete setup for indoor or outdoor use. We selected this model for our comparison because it offers a foldable design for easy storage.
