I got Smili and Bessi 2 crates. 37" Ultima Pro from Midwest. I installed the divider, which is unlike any divider that I have ever seen before. Most dividers are one piece. This divider folds in the middle (I think to make it easier to install). It attaches like most dividers, from side to side. There is a small top latch to attach it to the top of the crate. The issue is that there is a 1"-2" gap at the bottom. I did not think much of it and crate training has been going EXCELLENT! Only 2 accidents in the 3 days that they have been in there (However, we have frequent accidents durring the basset 500 in the kitchen...oh well).
The problem is Smili got her paw caught under the divider panel and started yelping much louder than when she is rough housing with her sissy. I ran over to the crate to help her and she was able to get it out by herself. I picked her up and started the paniced daddy routine of huggs & kisses and rubbing her paw. She is ok and is not having any difficulty walking. It scared the poopy out of me.
I called Midwest and they said that they have not heard of any complaints with this divider....although they do not have a lot of experience with it as it is only available with this model.
I took the dividers out of both crates and now they seem much happeir and lay flat basset....But as one would guess, Smili piddled on the end of the crate that she does not lay on.
Any ideas?
