Frisco Ultimate Heavy Duty Steel Metal Single Door Dog Crate

Our 1 year old Pitweiler developed severe separation anxiety after her spay surgery. She broke through our Kong Cage and ate through our bedroom door destroying the carpet in the process. We then did not leave her for awhile and when we did we left her loose with our older dog and she did well. Then came our family vacation and a sweet teenage relative stayed at our home with the dogs. She has an active life and came in and out during those 9 days. Well our girl freaked out again and destroyed a portion of our huge sectional, chewed through lamp cords and anything else she could get to leaving our house sitter and myself in tears. We needed a STRONG kennel ASAP. Considering all of the damage Our 1 year old Pitweiler developed severe separation anxiety after her spay surgery.

Roxy has been re crate trained and stays in this lion cage from the circus, lol. Phew, now step 2 board and train camp. … more

I bought this crate for my escape artist dog. One of the wheels was broken. In order to have the wheel replaced, Chewy told me that I had to return the entire cage. The cage was already put together. I was extremely disappointed with the customer service from Chewy and that there are no replacement parts. Given the weight of the cage, I removed the other wheels and placed it on my floor on top of an area rug. Wheels can break - there should be replacement parts available.

Our dog has escaped every crate we have ever bought her. She has scared us a few times when she pulled an entire wall of a crate down that could have led to her potentially choking herself out. We decided to spend the money on this crate to prevent that from ever happening again. We love it so far. She has not damaged it for over a month, but we do not keep her in it for more than 4 hours alone as to not make it a negative experience and we are building her tolerance up. Because the locks worry me as she has been known to be a lock genius we zip tie it twice just in case. This is only preventative as she has yet to flip the lock. Most people should be fine without zip-tying the crate. This has Our dog has escaped every crate we have ever bought her.

It does take up a huge section of our room but remember your dog is stuck in it for a couple of hours you would go mad if you too did not have legroom so the space taken is important (Just think about flying). If no crate has worked for you before this might be the one that does. No bent bars yet, no rust, and no escapes yet! If your dog harms itself in a crate like ours has a trainer and or medication will probably need to be involved to help destress and to prevent dental/physical damage to your dog. … more

Our dog 60 lb had bent up several wire cages so we were ready for an upgrade. This cage is perfect! Definitely worth the price. Bought the cage cushion to go inside. Very plush and secure. This will be the last dog kennel we need to buy as it will last for decades! Easy to assemble with clear instructions. Will go fast if you have a hex driver on a power drill. We did have to run a tap down one of the threaded holes for the caster since the powder coat was a bit generous, but other than that, no issues. (Took one star away for this).

Our 24lb beagle has extreme separation anxiety and is VERY destructive. She has broken through 3 different wire crates (miraculously, without injuring herself) and gone on to destroy doors and door frames once escaping... resulting in $100s of damage. This crate definitely looks overkill and is pricey, but you really won't regret it. Virtually escape-proof!

We previously had a *supposedly* heavy duty wire cage, but our two medium sized dogs could bend the wire (I don't know how they didn't break teeth!) and always figured out how to get out. We had the thing chained, zip-tied, and carabiner-ed together until enough was enough. Once we brought home this kennel, there have been no further incidents. And after testing it for a couple days and figuring out it isn't going to budge, they actually seem calmer now! I definitely recommend this kennel. It rolls easily and can fit through doors, which helps since it is not a folding kennel. It does require some sort of bed or mat to keep them off the floor grate for their comfort, which might be an issue if We previously had a *supposedly* heavy duty wire cage, but our two medium sized dogs could bend the wire (I don't know how they didn't break teeth!) and always figured out how to get out.

Well made, easy to put together. It is heavy, so having a helping hand was good. My boxer was a bit shy about getting in it the 1st time, but with a few treats and praise, she went in. She gets right in now, even when she doesn't have to. It is very sturdy, and she will no longer be able to chew through the bottom when we are gone, as there are no plastic parts like the old wire one.

I have a pit mix who's beyond scared of thunderstorms and the sound of rain. Once she realized she could make her way out of the typical wire cages despite injuring herself (I mean seriously, we woke up to torn nails and a busted nose), I knew I had to do something about it, especially living in south Florida. If I know it's about to rain I give her trazadone and put her thunder shirt on and let her roam around wherever she wants to go during the day, but at night I put her in this cage and she no longer attempt to escape it, injuring herself along the way. It certainly doesn't get to the root cause of the issue, but she's learned that trying to escape the cage is futile and will no longer attempt I have a pit mix who's beyond scared of thunderstorms and the sound of rain.

If you are in search for a strong crate to keep your fur baby safe this is it! We have a four year old that suffers from really bad separation anxiety and has literally eaten through multiple doors and crates. The crate is not cheap but well worth it!

This crate is amazing. My Houdini-esque mastiff cannot get out..and she has a break out history that is lengthy. It is solid and well-made. Very pleased. Great investment for long term use
