Are the bars made of steel? My dog is a chewer...

Very durable painted metal... material is similar to the heavy-duty metal pet gates you see.

They are steel but it sounds like the inside is hollow so depending on the size of your dog they could possibly bend. My little one has never chewed on them.

Yes. We've carried and moved ours a good bit and it has not even dented. So I consider it rugged against teeth and general moving about.

They are metal this crate is great my pug chewed or tore up other crate but this one is very sturdy. Ozzy my pug loves his house he hoes in and out at will and ge never whine about it the crate lid comes o# for easy cleanjng. And the door has a rod to locking it dogs cant push itopen. This is a keeper

Made of painted metal tubing. Will withstand chewing (I have bully breed that is a chewer - she simple chewed the paint off and lost interest).

The bars are metal and I also have a chewer. The bars have held up very well, no complaints.

I don't think they are made of bull muscle...it's just the name. I'm also not sure what they are made of, but my Boxer loves them and they are much easier on his teeth than rawhide, and better for his tummy too. I recommend them!

They are made of a heavy metal. Not sure what kind of metal. They are very nice handles and would recommend them to anyone.

They're coated steel. Scraped a little off one jaw and saw silver metal underneath. Also found that a magnet clamped to it easily indicating ferrous content. Copper is a bit soft for the kind of work you want these jaws to stand up to, thus making the steel 'backbone' necessary I guess.

They are kind of rubbery. I give the extra ones to my dog, he really likes them.

The wooden bars are very sturdy; we have hung (weight/volume-wise) what we would hang on metal bars and there has been no problem whatsoever! I hope this helps?!

The bars are stainless steel and plenty thick. They look much better on my Ram 1500 than in the picture. Highly recommend them

The bars themselves are made from aluminum. the brackets on the end that clamp the rails to the bars are made from plastic.

I can not really tell you of what metal they are made but it is very sturdy and still light enough to move easily. We have two large breed dogs that get on and off them easily and they are both older with hip issues. They love these beds, prefer them actually, both in winter and summer. They were tentative at first, but after the first day, it's first come first served. They are elevated but not really high, even for a Basset. Our older JR easily gets on and off with no problems. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what you are asking as steel is a type of metal. However, as far as I can tell, the bed frame is made of all steel. It is very sturdy and well made. We are very happy with the quality and recommend it highly. We would definitely purchase it again.

They are not real hard like the dog bone treats but are not completely soft. They are kind of in between, my little terrier seems to like them, we switch her to another Plato treat when the bag runs out. These things last a long time as they are small, but plenty for a treat.

I haven't really had a problem breaking them. My dog is a Beagle and likes to just chew on the bigger pieces. Good luck

They are steel! Not sure why you would want Al ones? Mine came with three long inserts.... two middle length inserts.... and only one small. Which was fine by me.

Yes, it seems to be made of metal.I am not too impressed with the locks on the doors. In my opinion the crate could have been made stronger. But, the price is good.

No, they are not. Only the handles are stainless. The rest is chrome plated steel. A simple magnet is all that's required to prove this. Stainless steel is not magnetic. So if the magnet sticks to it, it is not stainless.

It is powder coated steel...if the paint chips off and the birds chew on the bars, there IS probably a risk of zinc toxicity. Just keep an eye on the paint condition and if your bird is a bar chewer, you need to buy stainless steel or better yet, give the bird WAY more chew toys and things to do while it is in the cage.

The bars are metal but where they attach are made of a hard high quality plastic. Great crossbars. Some people complain they are not entirely flat but I don't mind
