so Astrid plastic box smells DISGUSTING. So that's being tossed lol but I was thinking a metal one would work better to keep clean and the metal wouldn't absorb the smell. Do any of you guys have one or know where to get one?? Or where to get big baking pans that have sides??

So it might work. I have no idea if it'll absob smells though...

Possibly Sam's too, but I haven't checked there. Seems like stainless steel would be great for keeping it really clean! Maybe ask your local veterinarians, or even a hospital? You might not want to mention what you want it for at the "people" hospital.

That is an awesome idea. I might actually look into that myself, if nothing else for the simple fact that it would pretty much last forever and would not hold any smells or bacteria the way regular plastic boxes can.

@Maddie , just an FYI , I love my metal scooper(I doubt stainless) but I do notice it gets "etched" from scooping Not sure how long a metal box would do with urine ? The true stainless pans would probably be a good choice to research Keep us updated! Great post!
I would say contact the restaurant supplier for an appropriate sized "pan" that is pure stainless steel (I'm thinking of those inserts that they use in buffet tables). That is an awesome idea. I might actually look into that myself, if nothing else for the simple fact that it would pretty much last forever and would not hold any smells or bacteria the way regular plastic boxes can.

@Xandria That is my plan tomorrow there is a supply store in the town over that is apparently open tomorrow lol no holiday for them. I like the idea that it can go in the dish washer without warping too. And Jaws wont be able to scratch the bottom to death, which should help.
