are the panels plastic or metal? my dog is afraid of the sound the metal makes.

The panels are plastic, my dogs can't chew the plastic, and strong enough to hold them in the pen

Plastic and very durable. the only thing wrong with it is the metal rods tend to lose the little buttons that stop it from being too far down to pull out. Not really a problem. don't push it down too hard and if the do come off super glue them back on.

They are plastic, washable and quite durable. I had litter of belgian shepherd puppies that stayed in this pen in my family room until they were transitioned into indoor crates at night at ten weeks. The door was too small for my needs so I had to pull the connecting pin to open but no problem. I also bought extra panels. It was well worth the money.

I fairly certain it is plastic (nylon). When you tape it sounds a little like metal, but when you look closely at the turns in the screw on cover area - it's plastic. BTW we had it installed in a tile on the floor. The outlet met our local regulations.

It is plastic however fairly rigid. Our lab would constantly rip our screen door when he wanted to come in. It has solved our problem. No matter how much he jumps on the door the screen is safe. Hope this helps. What is your intended use

I really can't answer that because I have never seen the one that makes sounds. Have you tried calling Bruder and asking if the materials are different? This one is plastic, but nice and sturdy. My son loves it, even without the noise. It's big, fun and he plays with it all the time.

It is definitely metal. This cage is heavy duty. Metal bars with a metal slide out tray.

My guess is it would be...there's no metal, all plastic. I only use it as a portable water bowl for my dog.

Metal frame. Very durable so far. I have had it for 6 months and use it twice a week for agility class and constantly around the house. My golden retriever loves it.

I would worry about the dog's nails puncturing the plastic. I had to put a screened pavilion over the pool because the birds would land on the edge and puncture it.

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.

They are metal. Already dealth with the plastic ones. After extensive tries by the squirrels to steal the food they now just look at it.

Its a gray looking metal. My chinchillas try to chew on it but I haven't seen any paint chips come off. I hope this helps. I have 4 of these cages. Later on if your pet chew the plastic decks u can't make or find wood decks to go in thses cages.

The plastic is pretty thin... unless your dogs are small with trimmed nails I wouldn't risk it.

The animals in the one that we got at Christmas 2012 are plastic. It has 4 animals and 1 farmer, none of which make sounds. The farm building itself makes sounds.

plastic. OUr dogs are 70# and the tub needed a support underneath (we used a plastic trash can turned upside down) to keep the legs from totally splaying out with the dog's weight and breaking off. Otherwise, a great tub!

The whrels is not made of plastic. It is nade from high quality foam so it will not screach floors and they roll super quiet .

Can't remember, metal I think, but I don't recommend crate. My dog clawed through the fabric seams first time I left him alone in it. And he is not normally that destructive.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.
