I'm looking to put this on a corner that my puppy has chewed away. Will it hold up to a dog scratching at it?

It is as hard as a hard Frisbee. The dog may rip it out of the wall, but unless your dog is big enough to chew a plastic Frisbee, it will last. You may use a stronger glue though (i.e. epoxy or goop) to avoid it being unglued from the wall.

I don't know what success other have had with this product, but the sticky tape didn't work for me. I'm trying to protect some 90 degree drywall corners and the product wouldn't stick to the walls very well. In my case, the tape was very thin and not sticky enough to stay applied to the wall (even after I just applied it). I think you would have to screw or nail it to the wall to make it really hold or experiment with better two-faced sticky tape.

If it fits your wall, it's pretty sturdy plastic--not flimsy at all. That's not to say a puppy couldn't chew on it, but it's not as fragile as a drywall corner. The problem I had with it is that it didn't look like the pic here--not a right angle at all. If they'll send you the right one, I'd give it a try....

Yes it's durable. A dog's claws probably wouldn't poke thru walking across. My cat does scratch and knead it and that does mess it up :)

We have our Germany Shepherd puppy in it and she's teething and it has held up there isn't really any edges on the inside for a dog to get a hold on. I hope this is helpful

Absolutely! We took this on a 20hr (each way) trip, with a crazy 8 month old puppy and it held up unbelievably well. It's very durable!

Of course the animals nails would be a concern because of the potential to pierce the material. However, if you just maintain it and watch over your pets, I'm sure the mat would hold up. I have three dogs and they run over mine all the time. Not a hole or tear in sight. They also love sleeping on it.

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.

I think this board would be okay for a dog, but it does scratch easily if your dog has sharp nails. A friend of mine has an almost identical board that her 60+ lb dog rides with her and it is scratched up quite a bit.

Mine survived 2 washes before it started to bunch up in the corner. It does scratch.

I think it will because it has a top that zips all the way around. Half of the top it solid pink and the other half is mesh. The only thing it might do is tip over on its side. It is pretty light. My puppy is only 2.4 lbs so she can't tip it over.

I bought the small and on the dog kennel it just didn't stay put. Maybe with a different cage type it would work well. As far as chewing I can't imagine they could destroy it.

it is very sturdy and holds up well to puppies. i have a jack russell terrier / chihuahua mix and the the paw hut survived the chewing and scratching for about ten months.the play pen still looks new!!! best purchase for my puppy!!!!!

yes, it is good to keep your dog in a certain area, or if you have company or puppies. I think it would get rusty very fast if used outside. also if you need to keep the dog off the furniture when you are away, you can open it up and use it as a fenced area to keep the dog away from the furniture. it comes apart very easily and put back together easily and in different shapes

No, it will not be sturdy. The slightest pressure from inside the L will tip it over. We use ours for rabbits and made the L shape to put it in a corner. We did this three times and found 2 alternatices: one was to use weights (like a set of small dumbbells or a box with something heavy in it) at the corner and side to hold it in place. We also used zip ties to tie one of the corners to the hindge of the house door that was next to it. Hope this helps!

Depends on how sharp your dogs nails are. My dog sleeps on it and its fine but he doesn't purposely claw at it. Like any other bed it will tear if he/she claws at or digs at it.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.

my dog like to scratch as well and she uses the walls as a scratching post and it barely moves so yes the walls are sturdy.

It is pretty strong. I use it to keep a lab puppy from going down the stairs. She is about 25 lbs now. It is on carpet and when she jumps up on it, it stay put. If you keep it on a smooth hard surface it would probably move if the dog jumps on it a lot but I doubt it would come apart. It is very versatile and has saved my sanity with a very active puppy.
