(the exterior dimensions are 20x26) Milo loves to dig exuberantly in his litterbox. The result has been wet smelly litter dumped outside on the far side of the pan. I thought I had enough barriers in place to prevent such a thing--but a ghastly smell when I changed to a different style litter box proved me wrong. I love the new litterbox--no corners. Trust me when you have a diabetic cat who goes through 40 or more pounds of litter a month, you want your daily litter removal to be as easy as possible. I knew I needed something to surround the whole litterbox but couldn't think what. Even a full sized baking sheet isn't wide enough. Somehow I stumbled on your page and my answer was there. As soon as I put his litterbox inside the dura-tray, he hopped in for a test drive. He seems to like the new arrangement and I doubt that he can propel litter over the side of the dura-tray. As for dumping litter out of his litterbox and into the dura-tray. That's why I bought it. We both thank you.

From: Rosalie Berger  Hello Pat, Just an FYI, a good way to market your trays is to sell them for the purpose that I bought mine for today. I will be putting pee pads in this container for an inside potty. A lot of dogs are trained inside to use pee pads, and you can use a tray to hold them in, but with a tray, you can have the pad in it and they urinate or defecate in the container and not outside of it. The trays only keep the pad in place, but there is no "perimeter" preventing them from going over the tray that is flat. With your tray, it gives an "barrier" and I buy the larger pads that are the 24 x 36, so this is going to be perfect Thank you!!! It might be in your best effort in the recession to add a "twist" to your sales for dog pads!!! Rosalie Berger

I am part of a cooperative of breeders for companion and service English Labradors. I have converted an old peach bin into a box for the puppies to be born and grow. I potty train the pups starting a few days after they get their eyes open by having the fake grass carpet in a duratray in a corner of the peach bin. The height allows the not very mobile pups to crawl into the grass and then back to their bedding. The pups learn to go to the grass rather than where they are sleeping. As they become more mobile and we let them roam outside the peach bin, the training continues. I place multiple duratrays with the grass carpet around the blocked off cemented patio. The trays are durable enough to handle puppy rough housing and teething.  By the time my pups are weaned and leaving they are almost completely housebroken thanks to the grass carpet in the duratrays.
