will it stand up to a dogs claws?

I think so. A big agressive bite might puncture it - but the rest of it is built sturdy enough that it should be fine. The rubber is thick enough to withstand some good rock scrapes so claws shouldn't be a problem.

Not likely. Mine has some cat claw marks in it that are there to stay, it appears.

Absolutely not. Dog will have full access to front and probably rear paws, too.

It's pretty thick vinyl. Unlikely to be punctured by a cat jumping up on it and gently using its claws for a little grip. But if the cat keeps its claws sharp and was actively clawing on it, it could puncture.

Yes you can. I put a sheet over mine to protect it from my dogs claws. It works just fine. My dog lays on it all the time.

I don't think I would trust it with pets' nails ~ because of the design itself and it's light weight. I doubt if it would stand up to pets very well.

Not me, but my dog is more of a claw-er and less of a chewer. It seems pretty sturdy to me, I would be super impressed if your dog chewed out. My neighbor has the same one for his pitbull (who tore out a giant chunk of drywall) and it's withstood her tendency to destroy things.

It is not claw and/or chew proof, but this enclosure is surely made with very strong and durable material. Thanks!

I have cats it holds up to the clawing they do but a dog does a different type of damage. A dog may be able to push it loose but that us more about how the door secures the screen. Works great for cats.

I would guess cat claws would tear it, but that is only a guess. I use it for my 35 pound dog, and it works great for him, but I'm not sure about cats, since I don't have any.

It'll stand up fairly well. It's more sturdy than the average shipping box, but it is still cardboard. Mine have tried to chew on it, but most of the holes are too small to get their mouths into to chomp. A couple of teeth marks are all they've managed!

No it would not tear, super tough and will hold up to about anything. I have two dogs as well they run across it with no effect at all.

It's some sort of fabric that looks like it would shred eventually. It's not plastic or anything. If they have claws, they could claw it. Truthfully, it didn't last long enough for them to do any damage. A piece of junk.

Yes I believe it will, and just FYI I consider this a superior product! Heavy duty construction and connections, I've got two puppies, a cat and TEENAGERS(!) so I know quality construction when I see it!

I would not use this for any animal except a dog that does not dig or scratch. Yes, the nails will get caught in the mesh and the floor is not zippered, it is held in place with several small velcro strips.

The material is pretty heavy duty...but with a dog's claws/nails/teeth i don't know if it would be a good idea for a dog house.

They hold up pretty well but I don't know about claws. I walked on them with high heals and they left a mark. Overall good quality though. I don't think you will find kids matts that hold up to dog claws? Not sure.
