Could a 65 pound dog chasing a cat or squirrel charge right through this netting? I have a feeling, yes! Kindly advise! thanks!!

definately your dog could, my small 16 year old 20lbs dog could go through it. The block keeps the deer out though, just the feel of it spokes them. They can not see the netting as they try to eat the plants and just move away. My netting has kept my garden deer proof 3 months now. I was ready to give up before I used deer block. You could add a small metal fence along the bottom to keep the dog out. Next year I am going to do that, to keep rabbits from chewing through the bottom of the netting.

I doubt my 80 pound GSD would even slow down. However, the cat or squirrel would be caught like a fly in a web and your dog can snack at its leisure.

to be honest, i don't know... i guess it would depend on the spacing of the support poles, and how taut you have the fencing material... sorry i can't be more helpful...

Not sure the dog would break through it but quite sure the netting would rip where it was attached to the posts

Not really, only chance if getting caught would be if their collar got caught, but very unlikely.We've had one for maybe 15 years, had to upgrade to the LARGE when we got our Labrador/Golden retriever cross about 8 years and never an issue.Our Australian Shepherd did snap one of the top pivot lugs at the top because she used to charge through it when she heard outside noises, but she's calmed down now. (We had to purchase another LARGE and just use the door)We have 3 cats and it's easy for them to use as well.

Virtually impossible that this could happen. Secures to ground with stakes and the netting is super flexible. It is as if it grabs the ball and throws it back.

Not really, it is very flimsy. I have a small dog that can get through it so an otter would have no problem. You should probably get a higher grade netting.

I think it would work to confine your cat, but if you have concerns about a predator animal attacking the cat, I don't think this netting would protect it. It did seem to be very effective though this past summer in preventing deer from raiding my small veggie garden. I would be very careful at first to make sure the cat didn't freak out and entangle itself in the material as the other commenter described. I could see where certain cats could do this.

The reviewer best put a red cape with a big S on that Pug and leave it alone. It is pretty well constructed. A large heavy dog might be able to thrash around and eventually bend or wear out the clips that hold it together, but that would take a lot of doing. No way in the world I could see a dog chew it up. Heck we now put cardboard and a blanket on top of ours and our dog and cat will sit on top of this cage to look out the back door. Our dog is 10lb's.

it depends on whether or not you have indoor outdoor pets. their behavior is key to the netting's success. we have 2 cats and 3 dogs that thoroughly enjoy tent in-ing and out-ing. so, if you are able to tell children "either in or out" or are with adults----they might need the same instruction also---- then it would be great. add pets to the mix and it would have to be 88 times larger.

I had the same concern. My cat would not walk into it. However, I picked her up, slid her tail under her, and backed her into it without issue. Used the same technique on my parents' cat in a similar bag (not the same) and it works like a champ!

We do not recommend any of our chargers to deter bears. When touching a fence, they may become angry and violent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

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

I would think so unless he is a real puller. I mean a dog that chases after things like rabbits,etc. Still I think you will have no problem with the cable. It says what weight they usually are on the front of the package I believe. Now that I looked at the cable it says under 50lbs so I believe you would have to go to a heavier cable 50 and over. But they are real nice cables had mine for a long time. Go heavier. Kim Johnson

It would surely hold their weight, as reports of saved chipmunks attest. I think the deciding factor is whether they have the instinct to swim, then to climb. The effect of weight upon the bridge part of the device is to pull down, so that a creature needs to climb a bit to get out. (That's the reason for the stiff inserts along the side of the bridge, to ease the climb.) I strongly urge you to try it (hurry!), nothing to lose and bunnies to win! Let us know, please!?

Hard to tell, as we have 2 dogs, 65 and 90 pounds who do a good job of keeping the squirrels out of the yard. :-)

My dog is 65 lbs. and freaks out during thunderstorms and fireworks (if in the area). I have the 61 inch gate enclosure separating a sun room from the kitchen (all windows and no place to hide his head). I saw one attempt to climb over but made him stop, I don't know what he does when I am not home but so far I see no damage to the gate. I am really pleased with it (didn't think it would work, but stronger than I thought). Hope this helps PS: I have always had trouble with tension shower curtain rods. Screw it to your wall it works better!

No, sorry. I used it with my cat and it wasn't an issue. Maybe the tube sock idea would work. Are you using it with his collar? If you have his dog tags, etc to give it extra weight and thread the collar through so it's at the top where it says Pro Collar, that might weight it enough so it doesn't spin. Cinch up the Velcro real tight too so there isn't an opening.

It would not work well as a dog barrier. Even when stretched out, the net is somewhat stretchy and very flexible. You would want something a little more solid for your dog's safety.

No, we have not, but the window we have it in is far enough above ground that a bear would not be able to reach it anyway. You might want to give special consideration to that if you have bears in your area. Would also give squirrels some thought as well - they are quite the acrobats and can jump farther than we think. Our purchase was a replacement for an older feeder of this type and the birds have absolutely loved coming to our window feeder for years. It is also a huge source of entertainment for our indoor cat.
