Would keep my Westie dry - if he had an accident

If my dog was caught short, this grid would allow drainage into the tray below. Without it, he would be sitting in his own mess. Fortunately, touch wood, I have a very clean dog who has not had any accidents to date, but the grid's in place for his protection. Considering I did not agree with caging dogs, I bought this because the Dogs Trust said my dog was cage-trained and I wanted him to feel at home. It turns out that this is the best thing I ever bought! Perfect for my Westie, who made a bee-line for it when I first brought him home. Clearly a safe haven for him.
