Keeps the pad in place, and looks great.

We bought this pee pad tray when we got our little Yorkie. We bought everything to match our white and gray home decor, so this was perfect for that. It's super easy to use. We buy the 22x22 Amazon brand pee pads, and they fit just right, and work great. You can put it on without fussing with folding anything if you want, but it's also very easy to fold the edges really quick for a cleaner look. We do both depending on how busy we are. I've attached pictures of what it looks like either way you do it, and how it looks in the kennel. It's nice that the tray still closes just fine without folding the edges on those busy mornings, and we are very pleased with it.
It's very easy to clean. Usually we just swap the pad out, but we use Lysol wipes most of the time, because sometimes he tracks a little smear here or there on the ring of the tray. I'd soak it once a month just to get a full clean, but the pads are pretty good, so the Lysol wipes are sufficient for the most part.
Our puppy was not affected by adding this tray to the pee pads he was originally trained on. It actually gave us peace of mind when he was tiny and would sometimes play with the pads. He didn't do it often, but he can't do it with this tray, which is good to know. It looks so nice in his kennel. We have this on one side, and his bed on the other. He's a small dog, so I don't know how well this size would work for a dog bigger than 20-25lbs full grown. Our's will only be 5-6lbs full grown and he has no trouble keeping everything on the tray, and has room for multiple potty times.
I want to note that this tray is not 17x17 on the outside. That's the measurement of the pads you should get. It's more rectangular. If I remember, I will look for the measurements and add them to this review once posted, because I didn't realize the actual size when I ordered. UPDATED:Dimensions: 19.33"L x 16.53"W x 1.18"H
Luckily, it fits perfect in half of our 24×36inch kennel, and I'm glad it's not any smaller or bigger. It would not have worked for our needs. I do recommend this. It helps with the look/aesthetics of your pups kennel, and protects the pad from the puppy flipping it and playing with it. It also keeps the mess from getting on his bedding, which makes life a little easier. I hope this and these pictures help.
UPDATE 7/2/20: Our Yorkie is now basically full grown and just over 5lbs vs the 2lbs he was in these picture, and he still fits perfectly on the tray with a couple inches on each side to spare.
I also wanted to update that this didn't seem to slow, and definitely didn't stop his progress in potty training outside, which was a big concern of mine. Once we got really focused with taking him out on schedule, &ALWAYS AS SOON AS he opened his eyes, then of course rewarding with praise &a half of a little training treat after each time using the potty, as well as any time he alerted us that he needed to go outside. He is totally potty trained outside right now, and has been since around or before the holidays. We still keep this in his kennel for those times we may over sleep or when we're not at home incase he can't hold it, especially since he's still a puppy. He has had an occasion pee or poop on the pee pad over the last 7mnths, but it's been rare. I still plan to keep this in until he gets a little older. I'd much rather just switch a pad out than clean a big mess, and launder all of his bedding because of an accident.
