| Collapsible "soft" crates? Does anyone use a collapsible "soft" crate? Have you ever had a problem with your dog(s) chewing through the cloth mesh on the sides? Thanks!

| I bought one from Target - I think it is the boots and barkley brand, and it worked great for Teddy and he loved it. He would climb in there and sleep and I never had a problem with him chewing it - I still have it and will take it with me when I travel or bring teddy certain places. Now I have a little "tent" that I bought from someone here on YT that works well to give him his own space, but not keep him confined. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Ramsey has one...chewing isn't a problem although if she's inside and gets excited...she scratches at it. So far no damage.

| We love the softsided crate. We seldom ever confine Toto in any of hers but she has never chewed on anything so chewing isn't a problem anyway. We mostly use hers for her potty area when we travel. She's strange about going potty and doesn't like anyone seeing her when she goes. They are perfect and lightweight. Hers are "It's a Breeze Too" from General Cage, I believe.

| I bought one for Tyson. I actually bought it for my Boxer, so it's pretty large, but it's up in the house when I'm at home so he gets use to going in it. I have one of his beds, some toys and a pad for accidents. But he loves it in there. it's big, he can see out out 3 sides of it and it lets in just enough light. When I leave him alone, he just walks in...I zip him up and he's snug as a bug. He's never chewed on it, never had an accident in it. |

| We LOVE Pet Gear Crates we have the pet gear soft crates for sleeping only. They love them!! No one has damaged them. they are pretty sturdy and the mesh is fine so they can't get a toenail through them. Each of my girls has their own "bedroom". I call it my little crate train. crate train.jpg |

| They look great; so much better than wire crates.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I used ond for Cali and she loved it and never had a problem. I got Pixie at 13 months and she wasn't use to being crated so she chew her way out of the mesh. I have one for Roxie and she isn't in it much but she is fine when she is in it,
