Question 1

OK = loving this pad - now just need a canopy designed - any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your support! You must be reading our mind :) as we are currently looking into the design of a semi retractable canopy that will fit securely onto a standard 16qt or 24qt crate. We expect this canopy accessory to be available to our customers by next year (2021). Connect with us at CrateMatePets -fb

Question 2

Will this work with a Mobility Scooter?? Front or back?

Accepted Answer

Hi Schnauzer Mom,

Thank you so much for your inquiry! We’ve seen lots of customers get creative with this (attaching to moped, 4-wheeler, scooter etc.) because CrateMate could ultimately fit on any type of provided rack. Assuming the mobility scooter does have a luggage rack either currently on the front or back this will provide the safest way to attach your specified crate to said scooter.  If not, maybe see if said scooter has available accessories/rack for the specified model.  From what I can gather through my research is that a lot of these types of scooters already have baskets attached to them.  In this case, it’s important to note that unless the attached basket(s) measures 12x12x12 or 12x12x18 it won’t fit into the existing basket.  CrateMate is specifically designed to retro-fit either a 16qt or 24qt standard milk crate. If you can see a way on your specified model of scooter to safely attach one of these sized crates (luggage rack etc.) then yes you can certainly use this product with your Schnauzer.  We would love to see pictures if you can make this work! Again, thank you so much for reaching out to us. Please be safe and have a beautiful day :)

Question 3

What front bike rack can you use with this product?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! Any front bike rack that can support your pets weight as well as and most importantly one to fit to your specified bike in question. Be sure to check the load capacity for your rack in question. I will add, if you attach your specified crate to the front rack it would need to be the 16qt (square) crate as the 24qt will extend too far off the front end. Please be extra careful riding with your furriend in front as even the slightest shift in weight can cause and unstable and unsafe riding experience for both you and your pet. We do recommend a rear riding experience for your pet as they will be more comfortable know where you are and it will ultimately be easier for you to ride. If you do choose to attach your crate to a front rack and install the CrateMate conversion we would love to see it!

Question 4

Is there a way to safely put both my dogs in this crate? They would prefer to ride together and combined aren’t more than 45lbs.

Accepted Answer

This isn't something we've tried yet but certainly something we've thought about. Here are our thoughts on this question. In order for this to work you would first need the 24qt crate to ensure theres adequate space for each. In addition to "safely" make this happen you would need 2 of our 4-point safely harnesses which at the time being they are not sold separately. There should be plenty of places on the side of the crate to attach both harnesses. The first harness 2 points would attach through the harness holes in the CrateMate liner and 2 points to the crate (where they would normally be) . The second harness would likely share the crate 2 points from the first harness and then connect the other two points up front. This will set each pup in front of each other and both would be safely harnessed in. Certainly check in on our social, CrateMatePets - fb, as we continue to receive our customers questions, we will continue openly sharing solutions!
