I have used wire for about 40 years. A good quality wire is safe. Obviously if you have a strong dog who is determined to break out, you may need to go to the uber expensive crates that are almost solid metal. Few dogs need those. As Pat said, no top means no dog. They laugh at 6 feet, much less 40 inches. They can jump or climb easily. Plastic ones are more easily chewed unless the solid ones... which block view and air.
Crate Tray

Hey guys!
A while ago I had my aunt's beagle for a week and she tore apart all three of my plastic kennel trays, does anyone know where to get new trays? I have asked around town and no pets stores have any ideas.
Thanks!

What kind of crate (make and model) are they? Have you tried seaching the web for the manufacturer and contacting them directly?

Depending on what type of crate it is I have noticed that sometimes after you add the cost of the tray and the shipping and handling, that it's cheaper to buy a new crate…....

I did, Pat. They are both Midwest and they wanted like $35 for each plus 20 shipping last I checked!! Foster&Smith seems like the cheapest. About $57 for one 36" and one 42" with shipping. Right now I've got George in a crappy old metal one (that has a rusted tray) and Pig is in one with a blanket. I decided I better get new ones just because I don't like him in the rusty one or Pig without a tray. I went to another pet store today and they wanted $40 and $37. Crazy! Thanks for the ideas guys…
