is it easy for the dog to push over? And is it really chew resistant? I have heavy chewers (2 puppies)

it is not chew resistant! Our Yorkie chewed through one of the spindles and escaped. If a small Yorkie can do it, I'm sure any other dog could too.

Can be easily pushed over. We secured ours to the wall with clips. It's all wood. If they chew wood they will chew this. It is very pretty though &#128522;.

It stands up pretty well if you zig zag it , however it is not chew resistant my puppy has chewed, the stain comes off easily but no other issues

The gate is made of wood and I would think if you have puppies that like to chew, the gate could get damaged. My dogs are about 6 years old and haven't tried to chew on the gate. I have the gate positioned in a wide doorway and it hasn't been knocked down, I think the stability depends on how you position the gate. I was very pleased with the quality of the gate, the finish and the look for the price I paid.

Yes it's easy to knock over unless you wedge the edges. My dog try to chew but no luck. It held together. She gave up.

It would depend on the size of the pups plus how large they will grow! For 2 pups growing and active, I think it would be wiser to get a gate that attaches. Re.the chewing, I doubt it would be easy for the pups to chew on it.

My golden pup is 40 lbs and a big chewer but can't even put a dent in it. It should last longer but I guess your dog is real strong.

I have a 45 lb lab mix that chews everything to bits. This is one strong toy that she can't seem to tear apart. Yet. She loves to push it around and make the treats come out now that she has it figured out. Hope that helps.

Yes this is sturdy. But if your puppy is a heavy chewer I would not recommend.

I am wondering the same thing. My Lab had it solved in less than one minute. He still likes it when we fill it with treats though. We have purchased a few other puzzles and it seems that they are all too easy or easily destroyed. If you have a dog that has a big mouth like a lab, I would not recommend buying any of the ones made of particle board/wood.

My puppy was small when she stayed in it but she liked to chew also. She never chewed through any of it. I can't say what would happen with a bigger puppy. I think it would work just fine. They can jump and move the play pen and a bigger puppy could turn it over. Using it inside there no way to anchor it down but I loved mine the time I use it. Hope this helps you.

Probably not puppy proof if you have a chewer. It has plastic covered mesh for doors and windows. We got it for our 85 lb. huskita and she has not ever chewed on it but she is pretty mellow and 4 yrs. old. I love this kennel.

I would contact Sherpa and ask for their recommendations. I have a 16 pounder that does fine in it. But it would depend on how tall your pet is, if he/she is a chewer, scratcher, etc -- since it's not a hard side carrier it is not indestructible if you have a determined, strong chewer. Some breeds of dogs have bigger teeth than others the same size -- terriers for example have big teeth for dogs their size/weight.

Won't hurt dogs unless they chew it up. Our dogs don't have any problems with this.

My 20 pound corgi puppy pushes the large cube around with his nose and paws. He absolutely loves it. I wouldn't worry about injuries unless you were leaving your dog to play with this toy with no supervision for extended periods. If the center core pops out (which seems to happen more with the small cubes) and your dogs chews on that core, it will get jagged. In that case, it is more likely to cause a laceration than crack a tooth. My dog plays with the large cube daily in a gated area that I can supervise. And as soon as I notice that the core is falling out and getting chewed on, I replace the cube. My 20 pound corgi puppy pushes the large cube around with his nose and paws. He absolutely loves it.

I agree that I wouldn't leave this alone with my dog it does seem pretty heavy duty but I could still see a heavy chewer getting through this if left alone with it. Mainly I use this to feed my puppy who gobbles up his food like he's starving so it helps slow him down. I would only use this with supervision. For chews I would recommend a bully stick. My puppy loves them.

A minute ago I wrote the positive review about using this with my 13 year old poodle. I mentioned that it is easy for him to chew. He is missing some teeth. I just realized that I use the "soft chew" form, not what is labeled only "chewable" here, so I can't attest to its chew-ability, though it might be easy enough.

We have three Bichon Frise 'kids'. They all use the large bed. They are young and light in weight. They have no problem using this bed. It has maintained its firmness. We have had it for several months. Maybe if your dog is very heavy it might have an issue with its paws leaving a quick (not lasting) imprint on the bed, but not the cover. I would recommend giving it a try.

Didnt have any issues with shredding and our puppy can destroy any toy on market in a matter of minutes. Its not made out of anything special I think our puppy just liked the comfort factor it provided more than the chew factor?

My kid has chewed it & it holds up better than expected. I imagine it could survive a dog that's not *trying*to destroy it. That's a guess I haven't had a dog in years.

I think you need to look at the more durable beds. It is instinct for a puppy to chew "anything". This bed is soft and comfortable, but could not withstand chewing. Good luck, puppies are worth it;)
