"Fits perfectly the old tray was chewed and swallowed and thrown up by our precious aggressive chewer, problem solved 41 x 27 inches give or take. The raised edge is not too high to fit our ovation trainer 1942dd"
"My dog had an accident in crate and it rusted in just a few hours. It stinks so bad now and my dog smelled like it so I had to throw it out. ̵I---m sure it wouldn --t be healthy for the dog either. It’s a lot of money to just be thrown out."
