I have an escape-artist Border Collie. Will she be able to chew through the MDF panels?

I don't believe so. Its well built and I don't think an attempt to chew will even happen.

if you secure the bottom panels so predators can't get in from underside ... it might. it lasted 2 years outside for my dog , then i gave it away, still in good condition.

It wouldn't be easy but if she is persistent yes she will eventually pull this apart. Just and FYI the gel in this hardened before it saw even a year of use. I wouldn't recommend it regardless of the chewing.

The only way they can escape is if they chew through the netting or the material. I use mine every day. I carry a Shih Tzu and a Papillion in it. I am very happy with it. Do not remember what the box looked like sorry

My little dog cannot get in the box (Italian greyhound). My border collie could, but I wedged it with the hole to the wall in a corner and the vacuum cleaner next to it. The reach into the hole is too far for him to stretch in there. It is working. Of course, he will not dig the box out of the corner as some more tenacious large dogs might do.Why are dogs so nasty anyway about eating cat poop!?!?! Bleh!!!

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

The air holes on the sides are too small for rodents to get through, but I suppose they could chew into the bin. I have found raccoon prints on the sides several times so I know it keeps them out.

If you are using them in the Kong toy the puppy will have the break it up before he/she can get it out. You will be fine.

It's certainly possible. The canvas (tan) is pretty thick and good quality. The vulnerability is in the black ventilation netting. I think my dog punctured a hole in the meeting and it was a free for all from there. If you cat is just a normal scratcher, it's probably fine. I don't even think the tan canvas would snag, but if the cat is trying to escape, it will probably get out.

Not sure. I have two miniature schnauzers puppies and they managed to get out somehow (little Houdinis) but they did not damage the material or the zippers to do it!! I am reasonably happy with it and use it when traveling to confine them at the hotels (but I am in the room with them). It is perfect for travel as it takes up little space in the car when folded.

I would be concerned that he/she might be able to slither out the bottom, which is just corrugated cardboard not attached to the cage. I guess you could reinforce it somehow, maybe with masking tape, so that it does not separate.

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

No problems what so ever between the panels and my elderly rough coated Collie. We can easily step over it, and it keeps her confined in the kitchen. She was never a jumper so I knew it would work.

No, she will not fit comfortably when closed completely. Also when the extension portion is opened my dog would slip towards the back smashing his face on the net, this is due to the flap not sturdy enough. Hope this helps,

My Africa Grey chews wood like crazy. He will pick at the inside plastic lining but it is tough. I suppose he might get through it if left in there for a whole day or more but so far it just has a rough spot. The plastic is very durable. So just for transporting and visiting it is great!

My dog is not a "digger" but the covering seems to be quite tough. He's jumped on it paws first several times while chasing a ball that was thrown near the bed and done no damage so far (my boy is a 70lb Border Collie and he is VERY active). It would take a real effort and some very sharp claws to penetrate the thing. I don't really see much of a chance of your girl pawing a hole in it. Biting would be a bigger worry as teeth could probably make it through the cover with continuous effort.

No. Mine broke and he ate the internal fiberglass. Taking him to the vet tomorrow.... will update.
