    No sense in wasting money on a variety of puppy crates, Danes grow too rapidly. This is definitely a crate for Great Danes that your little puppy will "grow into":)

    Dog crate size tip...

    A general rule for crate sizing is, measure your dog (or estimate if it's still a puppy), from chest to base of tail, and again to top of shoulders. Take the measurements and add 4 to 6-inches to each, this is the desirable crate size.

    Understand that the final size of full grown Danes will vary and is most noticeable between males and females. Those of you with smaller Great Danes may be able to go down one size.

    Many Great Dane owners eliminate the crate all together once their pups are fully house trained. This includes being over the destructive chewing and teething periods. The choice is yours and is based on your individual needs.

    If you intend to continue crating your dog once it matures, a puppy crate like Midwest's is the way to go and will save you money over the long haul. Those of you who will only use the crate through the potty training and house breaking phases should choose a smaller model.

    Our opinion on the pan?

    Hey, your Dane will soon be potty trained, who needs a collection pan anyhow?
