Metal Types

Galvanized vs Stainless Steel Dog Crate Trays

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel trays are made from corrosion-resistant steel throughout — not just coated — offering superior durability and long-term rust protection. They’re ideal for high-moisture environments, professional kennels, breeders, and customers who want the longest lifespan possible.
Best for: Heavy-duty use, commercial settings, high humidity, or frequent cleaning.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel trays are coated with a protective zinc layer to resist rust and corrosion. They’re durable, cost-effective, and ideal for everyday home use or lighter-duty kennel environments. This option offers excellent performance at a more accessible price point.
Best for: Standard home use, budget-conscious buyers, moderate moisture exposure.

A metal dog crate tray is a durable replacement for plastic trays that crack, warp, hold odors, or get chewed. PortaTray trays are available in galvanized steel and stainless steel for longer-lasting performance.

How do I know what size crate tray I need?

Measure the inside base of your crate carefully and compare it to the tray dimensions before ordering. If your crate has a non-standard size, a custom tray may be the best fit.
