Frisco Ultimate Heavy Duty Steel Metal Single Door Dog Crate

I'm not joking when I say I can't recommend this enough! I rescued my dog about 6 weeks ago from the shelter and he is the most amazing dog. Hardly barks, is the best listener, sweetest personality, etc. The ONE difficult thing is his separation anxiety. He cries and howls and paces when he even suspects that I'm about to leave. I have already tried 3 different kennels before this one and he has completely DESTROYED them within a day or two of getting it. Once he escaped, he would become destructive. Ripped up my bedroom carpet, chewed on my doorframe, etc. I have had this one for a week now and he hasn't even been able to put a scratch on it! Even more than that, he seems to not even be trying I'm not joking when I say I can't recommend this enough! I rescued my dog about 6 weeks ago from the shelter and he is the most amazing dog.

Our rescue dog (40 lb terrier mix) has destroyed a few "standard" wire dog crates over the years. She is able to bend the metal wires & eventually break them off! Clearly some issues in her mysterious past with crates & separation from humans. Sadly we cannot leave her home alone to roam the house (whether it's for 10 minutes or 2 hours) because she often chooses to be destructive. Made the decision to upgrade to a steel dog crate especially since her oral health was suffering when she manipulated the metal wires in her crate. This steel crate has been a success so far! In fact, we think she almost likes to hop in there when she knows it's time.

It was more expensive than other crates I considered, but it seems like it will be the only crate we will ever need to buy since she cannot destroy it. Very happy with this purchase! … more

The first time my foster dog was left in his wire crate, he escaped in 10 minutes. The second time (with carabiners holding the door closed), he bent the door so much that the crate was not salvageable. This Frisco crate has been inescapable and indestructible - exactly what I needed. If the length and width are the right dimensions but you need an extra inch or two of height, the bottom panel can be moved down to the panel the tray would sit on. I love that this crate is on wheels. I have a small house and need to move the crate at night and the wheels make it very easy. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the bottom panel - I don’t like that it’s not solid.

After our 40-lb shepherd mix went through three wire crates within a month, we decided this was a reasonable solution. Two years later, when we adopted another dog, we immediately purchased a second one. One person can put it together, although it's a bit heavy - and the wheels allow for cleaning around it, and for moving it around the house. No wires to bend or break and slice feet, mouths, or my wrists when trying to clean the interior, and no flimsy plastic tray that can be reached/chewed from inside. Our dogs view the Heavy-Duty Steel Frisco crates more as dens - they're solid and strong and despite the initial cost have been worth every penny.

I have had two incidences with my dog one due to fireworks and one due to a noise from an automatic air freshener that she’s very afraid of of that was not turned off. She broke out of the wire cage both times. I have this constant fear that she would wake up with a strangled dog. I bought this cage because I’d like the design of the door the wheels are very tightly locked but she doesn’t like the height so I removed the wheels and put in screw on feet that I got from munchkin that I use for the baby gates and dog gates, it’s a bit on the pricey side but well worth the peace of mind that I get.

This is a very solid crate. There is no way the bars are going to be bent. I’ve seen a couple reviews negatively say that it was easy to destroy, and then I saw their picture did not match this item with its thick steel bars, they were wire crates. You drill the screws in nice and tight and it is super sturdy. I expect it to last a very long time.

After going through two crates, we found this to be the best fit our boxer puppy. Took one person to put together, sturdy, yes, pricey, but worth every penny!

Works great as far as he hasn't managed to destroy this one yet... however the bars are a little to far apart so when he got excited that I was home and letting him out he managed to get his leg caught in it and hurt him.

I was not expecting this cage to be chew proof, however, my dog has a strong enough bite where not much will not stand a chance. I was hoping that this cage would at least make it a little more difficult for him while I am crate training him. Unfortunately, while in the FIRST training session, on the day I received the shipment, he EASILY started damaging one of the bars, I quickly stopped him from chewing through it but if left alone for a few minutes, he would have broken it completely. The title of this crate is very misleading, especially for the cost. If your dog does not have a strong bite then this may be for you. I cannot say the same for myself.
