I have used wire for about 40 years. A good quality wire is safe. Obviously if you have a strong dog who is determined to break out, you may need to go to the uber expensive crates that are almost solid metal. Few dogs need those. As Pat said, no top means no dog. They laugh at 6 feet, much less 40 inches. They can jump or climb easily. Plastic ones are more easily chewed unless the solid ones... which block view and air.
Crate suggestions

My basenji destroyed the plastic tray that was in the bottom of his crate. There were long strips of it everywhere when we got home. Any suggestions on where to buy a crate with a metal tray? Looking for a quality one that will last a long time.
thanks.

Do you use a wire crate? I have always used General Cage Crates.. and they have lasted for many, many years… I have ones that are 16 yrs old that are just in great condition.
