I don't think you want your pup on top of the wire (the pan should fit inside of the crate ). Wire hurts the paws."
Thank you for pointing this out! My girls were 2 1/2yrs (full grown) when they joined our family; and while the tray does indeed go in a slot under the floor of the crate, I put a large pillow and really soft blanket in it that covers the floor

They sleep in it next to our bed at night so I wanted it to be really comfy
