Dog crate recommendations

Our metal dog crate is used as a bed for our pups, but it’s left rust marks on the laminate floor. We’re redoing the floor with tiles and looking for a large crate that won’t do this, isn’t really ugly and will withstand 2 bouncy springers! May be asking the impossible but recommendations welcome please!!

I've never found an attractive crate.

I have seen on Instagram carpenters who make units that include crates but they are expensive - google dog crate furniture to see what I mean

Put a waterproof mat underneath.

Thanks - I think a waterproof mat is probably the way forward. Those fancy crates do look lovely but they’re also ££££ and I think they’d be a nightmare to clean thoroughly.

I’ve had Croft ones for years. They come with a removable waterproof tray in the base
