My Alaskan Malamute has broken out of his cage once again. Will this keep a determined dog in? He's 85lbs. How's the warranty?

We had a very determined escape artist as well and so far this has held her. The one caveat is we had to replace the latches with chains and locks. The pen itself is strong but the latches are crap.

Hi, Erika-- My dog is a feisty 50 pound mix and either chewed through or figured out the locks on every other cage I tried. He has not been able to break out of this one yet:) I"m not sure what the warranty is, but the cage is pretty much indestructible and we've been very happy with it! Well worth the money.

I have a lab/mix, he broke about 5 of the vertical rods, did not get out, but could have. I replaced the crate, and installed a wire mesh on the outside. No broken vertical rods since.

My black lab can open the latches. I now secure the doors with a Chain and he cannot get out. It's solid so he won't bend the metal, but a determined dog will flip the latches fast. I have not tried the warranty.

Our 2 Great Danes fit fine in two of the largest kennels. The biggest one is 130 lbs and he is still using his after using it in hotels to travel across the country. Our smaller dog is 100 lbs and she tore through the netting to go to the bathroom one night. But she also pushes at metal kennels to get out sometimes so we expected that. Like you, we needed something for travel and the soft crate did get her here.

My Great Dane, who is just over a year old, broke this crate at the bottom where it should be the most sturdy... She has severe separation anxiety and we were trying to correct it.. seems we went a little too long!The corners were all zip tied and also throughout the rest of the crate anywhere there was a place where the crate latched together with another piece.. It all depends on how determined the dog is into getting out.. Mine was very...very.It is a pretty decent crate though.. especially for the price!

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.

Yea, we kept our Cav in it until she was about 20 lbs. This is a great dog crate. We bought the same thing only the next size to accommodate her as she gets bigger.

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! &#9786;

This will not work for a great pyranese. A great pyranese is not a 110lb dog lol. They can get to 200lbs. I know bc I have one. They become larger than a great dane. Look for a larger size but go with this kind of bed. I've read all the information and these are even rated as one of the top orthopedic dog beds 2015. Hopefully the price will stay the same.

Not sure about any warranty but it should only be used as a training tool for a short time. Most dogs just need more love and attention and if it's a puppy they will hopefully grow out of this behavior. I have not used the device for months and I would be happy too sell it cheap if you want one. Mrmarkcat@gmail.com

My gut instinct is to say no. It's a very sturdy crate but I would be leery of lifting my 55 lb. dog while he was in it. It would probably be fine a few times, but may start to break the stitching down over time. Great crate though. Folds up easy and is quite transportable.

My ferret has broken out of the cage. She broke the bars by grabbing on to them with her teeth and pulling. She is a lot bigger than a hamster but I would image if she could get out a small hamster could too

I have a 40 pound dog who doesn't mind his crate and it works fine for him. We've never had any problems with it after about a month. I think it's sturdy enough for a dog who doesn't try to get out.

Im sure it would bend if she tried to get out.. We have a 56 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, and I accidentally only latched one of the two latches on the door (she noticed) and beat at the door. Although it did bend, it still latches and works just fine. Totally my fault though. I have bought two of these kennels though, and would reccommend it!

I bought it for my miniature dachshound , she is about 9lbs and has more than enough room to stretch out! I probably could have went smaller but wanted her to have plenty of room since she is crated for 9 hrs a day. Cage is well made too :-)

I had a 80lb lab in my hound about and it was a good size, not too much room to move around, which you don't want. I also had a piece of plywood cut to place under the pad for extra support, which I would recommend.

I am not sure what the warranty is on the bed! We have a Great Dane that weighs 150lbs. I bought this bed over a year ago and still looks new!!!

I have a small med size dog he weighs 22lbs. Datschun, jack Russell mix. He loves the bed. The issue I have is the top doesn't stay arched.

the door to this one is a bit flimsy and there is a gap at the bottom. If he is the type to try to escape I probably wouldn't trust this one! I have another large crate made by Petmate that is very sturdy. I would probably go with that brand. And you might want to go with a larger size. My largest dog is 55 pounds.
