I have a boxer,, with anxiety I hope he won't get out. Is this crate very strong?

I have both a Spanish Mastiff and an American Bulldog. The crate has withstood them both and is very sturdy.

I purchased the small one for my rabbit so I'm not sure how well the large one is made but the small is pretty sturdy

For the most part, yes. My dog has high anxiety as well and in the beginning there were a few times that he rattled inside the cage so much that 2/3 hinges came undone. He never actually got himself out though. He now feels extremely safe in his cage and actually puts himself in it when he feels scared. We love this product!

It is very strong with 3 locks! I have a hyper jack Russell and she doesn't get out. She weighs 20lbs. Hope this helps!

The frame is held with metal clips that make it fairly rigid. BUT, it is a collapsable model and I don't know how anxious your dog is...I suppose you could reinforce it with plastic zip ties once you assemble it. I can't imagine a dog breaking it though. It's very well made.

My pit has anxiety as well and he was able to get out, he was able to bend and chew the wire.

I have two of these crates. My 120 lb mix and my 90lb GSD are each comfortable in theirs. Hope this helps.

Absolutely, yes. It's very well built and roomy. I have dogs and wouldn't hesitate to crate train them in this.

The doors (there are 2) are really solid. So for each door there are 8 hooks (4 on top, 4 on bottom) and you actually lift the door up when you close it so that the hooks can latch to the frame of the cage. That is all i do to keep my great dane in there, but she is crate trained and doesnt try to escape. but if you need more security Then there is a latch that you can use to latch the door and there is a place to put a lock if needed. Will the crate hold a wild wolf. Probably not. It is solid, but I could see potential of a large aggressive animal bending some areas. If your dog has some domestication. I think this crate works just perfectly. If it where any more heavy duty- it would be too heavy to move around ( it folds flat so we take this crate on vacations with us)

I have not left my dog unattended in this crate, but I think she would be ok in it. I would have been hesitant when she was younger and more of a chewer. It is cloth, so if you have a puppy or a dog who is a determined chewer or one who will get bored and start chewing on the crate, it probably wouldn't hold up long. All of the sides and the top are screened, so it's well-ventilated. I primarily use it indoors, so it's in a climate controlled environment, and overheating is not an issue.

It's one of the more sturdy and durable crates on the market (of the plastic varriety). Do note that the door latch is somewhat fickle. I have only had mine 8 weeks and the latch is on it's last leg.

It's a great crate in terms of size. I own a 100lbs Akaskan Malamute and he can stand upright in this crate. It is however not very strong. My boy broke out on the first day. That said, I added zip ties to the all the connections and he has not escaped since. It was a good price and just adding some strong zip ties wasn't expensive.

I would say yes! We have a 100 lb German Shepherd with separation anxiety, who would break out of everything we put him in, and he's never been able to get out of this! We've had this for 10 months, and is the best investment in our dog that we've ever made! ☺

Size wise yes, if he/she has separation anxiety then a big NO. My 55lb German Shepherd gets out of this crate easily. I had to order a different crate because this one is easily, and I stress easily, bent.

My dog is a wonderful companion but has terrible separation anxiety and destroyed my house plus 3 crates purchased at local pet stores! This crate is made like a jail cell! The only problem I had was my dog could slide the locks across and get out. Now I put a pin through the holes once he goes in and that prevents him from sliding the locks across! I would not have been able to keep this wonderful dog if I hadn't bought this crate!

probably not ... I'm sure there's some way you could rig it up with zip ties & want not, but your dog would run the risk of cutting himself on the metal that's inside the crate. you could always order it & return it if it didn't work, Amazon's great with returns!

While it is flimsy it is not going to fall apart. I just do not believe it will last any where near as long as the ine I bought from a local pet supply. More of aa concern are the latches which are a pain to operate.an update is needed- This week I came home 2 times to the pup (35 Lb lab) that was in this crate running loose. Both our pups have escaped by pushing an end panel out of the clips. Our sturdier crate bought years ago from petsmart will not bend enough to allow tis. I now have the panels zip tied to prevent future escapes

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

I had a 45ish pound lab/husky cross with pretty bad separation anxiety. He did a good deal of damage to the kennel in just 2 weeks. The wires are not thick enough to take much abuse, I too had to hold it together with zip ties & bending things back into place regularly. Also the door latches are not terribly secure, nor are the edge connections which he wiggled loose and out of once. It's a great, spacious kennel, but it isn't built to a quality to withstand escape attempts. You get what you pay for with this one and had best look elsewhere for difficult to contain dogs. Hope this helps!

The bottom of the crate is not hard ... I think the answer would depend on how heavy your pet is. I think that the canvas and build of the crate is pretty solid. The great thing about this product is that there are plenty of ventilation for your pet which keeps the crate cool while the pet is inside.

Yes, I have my 79lb dog in my crate. He is very comfortable in it, of course he does get plenty of exercise outside of his crate.

yes it is strong enough for him. I have sold them to people with dogs that way more than 25 lbs.
