ProSelect Empire Dog Cage

Separation anxiety is a serious issue for our 45lb pointer boxer mix. Over the past few years, her condition has gotten worse. She got out of every crate, no matter its type, but she would destroy it as soon as possible in order to get out. We would have to replace our interior doors, our trim, and our walls if she was outside. Besides behavior training and extra walks, medication, thunder shirts, pheromone collars, and so much more, we tried so many things to help our dog. As well as just leaving her free, we considered it may be she just didn't want to be constrained. All of them did not work. We looked at this crate as our last option before deciding on a $1000 crate with a high impact. It sounded too expensive to spend the money initially as I was concerned that we would lose the money and then have to buy another crate that will cost even more. It was a great decision to get it after reading the reviews, and I am so glad we bought it. For a week now, she hasn't been able to, or tried to, slither away. Despite her teeth, claws, or attempts to bend anything, she hasn't chewed, clawed, or bent In the past, she would move other crates across the floor to get at curtains, bedding, or anything else, but now she can’t move this one. She probably feels comfortable in it, which is why she refuses to As all I know, I am so happy that she does not harm herself or our home any longer. After a hard day at work, it's nice to see her just lying there rather than up and about. want to show how much we appreciate our dog, so we bought this crate. Despite its wide bars and stronger steel, the bars are hollow, and the crate is still a dog crate, therefore it gets 4 stars since it is a bit pricey for just a dog crate. A solid bar would make a big difference, according to me. The pan that goes under the crate is also pretty dented (although not much of a problem since the bars go under it The assembly instructions were on one sheet, but there was no information about the company. Here is my review, I hope someone finds it helpful. Sadly, a medium size wasn't available for her, but the small was perfect.

This crate has been reviewed as working for dogs similar to my Boxer/Pit Bull mix but I have had to give up twice in less than a month since I purchased it. Two steel tabs on each side of the floor of the crate secure the two floors of the flooring. The last two times, my dog was able to bend those steel tabs downward, and it allowed the floor out, allowing her to escape. This was a feat she accomplished that I was shocked at. The tray, which she pushed out, didn't keep her from falling. Hammering the steel tabs back in place was the only way to complete the job. The only way to return the crate or use the alleged warranty is to write a letter. However, as others have mentioned, it's impossible to figure out where to write a letter. My real cost ended up being three times the initial amount because my custom-built car was indestructible This is the only crate I've made so far and I'm still out of money. The picture is the one I took post-escape the second time before I got rid of the crate (yes, my dog also destroyed the It does not make sense to me why the floor tabs are not fastened to the floor by a bolt. The moment my dog figured out the weak spot, I knew she would do it over and over In light of how much this crate costs, I felt some shady corners were cut to make the materials cheaper, which makes it a bad value.

Both this cage and its weaknesses have their advantages and disadvantages. There are a lot of poor welds. A few design flaws give the dog an incredibly easy path to the hinges and underneath the pan. On the very first day we put it in, our separation anxiety German Short Haired Pointer managed to open the latches without any problem. The latches ended up having to be locked in order for them to be effective. Adding an extra bar or two near the latches would make a significant I may have to have a welder weld a plate to protect the latches from her, since I will likely have to take this to a welder to fix everything. There is a pan underneath the cage that she has managed to reach and fling several feet away from it. Although you still need to put the handle down, it makes it easier, but it is not completely dog proof. will also perhaps have the welder add a latch or some other kind of attachment. There are also the hinges that have been welded. I managed to pop one of them off without any trouble. Fortunately, it still fits, and for the most part it is still secure however, it is yet another thing that I'll be having welded. In the end, we come to Several welds broke at different times in two of the locations where the casters screw into the bottom In spite of the amount of money this costs, I thought the quality would be better. Rather, I'm going to have to hire someone to complete quite a bit of work to make it fully functioning In spite of its many flaws, it has kept her confined (so far), the first step for her to a more normal life. It was difficult for me to locate the company for them to take part in some project, but I was unable to find information about I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with them so at least they know what is going on so they can fix it. If you have their contact information, please forward it to me.

I like it so far. The kennel I have now has been with me for two months. Until recently, I had never heard of this for my boxer/pit mix dog (46 lbs). He gets anxious when left alone while we are at work, and becomes destructive. A wire kennel that you could purchase at a local pet store has already been eaten through by him. It's a great kennel that I recommend to everyone. It seems that his attempts to escape have been unsuccessful, so he just settles in there for now. There were no bent or broken bars. It hasn't been possible for him to manipulate the two door latches either. It's great that it is on wheels, so I can move it around when I need to. His bedding and toys were first placed in his bed with him, but they were destroyed by him. Hence, we freed up the bolts so that the pull-out could be moved Then, instead of using the open bars, insert the tray into the kennel as a bottom for him to lie on. After that, I tightened the bolts again and left more toys behind. Despite the age of the system, it still works well!.

I have purchased every single crate on the market, and this one is the best. Those were the days when my big guy could easily get himself out of ANY/EVERY crate he was in as a small kid. His extreme flexibility meant he would bend anything and squeeze it Everything is made up of bars and wires. This device has made my life so much easier since I bought it. This has been on my desktop for over a year or near a year. A little denting of the locks was the only thing he's managed to do. Having bought every single crate on the market, this one is by far the best. The tray at the bottom is removable, of course, and the tires make it easy to push. In addition to brakes and locks, the truck locks in place once it is There is no problem fitting my big dog in there, which is a 100 lb German Shepherd. He is big and doesn't have any problem moving around. The picture of my big guy is attached.
