is it a steel cage? One report said the Pug chewed it up to destruction??!!!

This is a metal crate. I doubt a dog chewed it up unless is had titanium dentures....

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.

If a dog bit his way threw then he needs to be in a metal box. My two shi tzu r just fine in them. Very great product and hasn't rusted.

My Great Dane, who is just over a year old, broke this crate at the bottom where it should be the most sturdy... She has severe separation anxiety and we were trying to correct it.. seems we went a little too long!The corners were all zip tied and also throughout the rest of the crate anywhere there was a place where the crate latched together with another piece.. It all depends on how determined the dog is into getting out.. Mine was very...very.It is a pretty decent crate though.. especially for the price!

Yes and No. There are hard plastic rollers on the four corners but there's still a lot of metal which touches the floor (especially when the weight of the dog is inside). I have put a sheet directly under the cage to protect the floor. Hope that helps!

Probably not puppy proof if you have a chewer. It has plastic covered mesh for doors and windows. We got it for our 85 lb. huskita and she has not ever chewed on it but she is pretty mellow and 4 yrs. old. I love this kennel.

I believe so. This is the first cage my pup has not gotten out of. Pretty durable. I've only had it a weeks but so far so good. (Knock on wood)

I have some foster dogs that chewed the plastic latches off of the bottom and thanks to Wyatt's answer, I was able to find the direct link for this particular cage (b/c it did not come up in the search). http://www.superpetusa.com/product-list/my-first-home-deluxe-2x2-multilevel-with-stand.htm

My kid has chewed it & it holds up better than expected. I imagine it could survive a dog that's not *trying*to destroy it. That's a guess I haven't had a dog in years.

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

I did have conures in it. They eat the cage. The wood is real breakable. It literally was falling apart as I put it together. Also the slide out tray does not slide out easy at all. We got rid of our conures after the purchase if this cage bc stuff went everywhere on the floor. The cage just is beautiful but it is not built well at all.

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.

This cage did not hold my lab pup, she shredded it and broke it to pieces...

Absolutely. My dog did the same thing to the steel and plastic. Don't waste another dime. Buy this crate. Get the big one. I don't have the wheels on mine. He's great in it. Best thing I bought for him.

The bottom of the crate, the tray, is plastic. Could be an issue if your pet is left in too long or has separation anxiety with nothing else to chew on. Would be worth a try even if you had to buy another tray. You won't find another crate this quality at this price.

We thought it was good, but it's not. Have our 2 Chinchillas in this cage we bought at the end of August. This morning they both had gotten out of the cage because they chewed a huge hole in the bottom tray which is plastic. The ramps and shelves are plastic so they chew on those as well. Best to get one that has stainless steel bottom and ramps.

No not like I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be like the metal cage I bought back in 1990 for my dog that liked to chew but it wasn't. I bought it for the same reason. My puppy actually got the door open. Luckily I was home at the time. I gave it to a friend of mine who has a dog that doesn't chew and is content in staying in the cage.

It is cloth and plastic and easily chewed. I would recommend using a wire crate until you are sure they won't chew. A good test is a dog bed in the wire crate, if they are over 6 months (past teething) and don't chew up a bed left with them you could try a soft crate.

The entire thing is made out of wrought iron. I've had this cage for over 2 years now, have had no problems. Is easy to clean. The photo does this cage no justice. I absolutely love mine! I have two conures that have PLENTY of room to piddle fart around lol. Good luck!
