Having a fence comes in handy for most pet lovers. Fences keep our canine family members contained and secure. There are many types of fences on the market for pets, but not all are appropriate for certain dog breeds, so let’s take a look at some ideas on finding the best fence for dogs.

Chain link fences are great for containing large breeds such as Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Irish wolfhounds. However, a chain link fence is less attractive on landscape yards and may be considered overkill for smaller dog breeds.

Poly or plastic dog fences may be a great idea for smaller dogs. These types of fences could sustain the strength of our tinier canine friends and are typically considered to be a good choice for anyone owning a Pomeranian, chihuahua, pug, toy poodle and many other small dogs. Poly or plastic dog fences are also easy to install, lightweight and beautifully designed.

Metal dog fences are appropriate for medium to large dog breeds. Most metal dog fences feature added PVC for protection against chew marks. This type of Thornton fencing is dig-proof and can assuredly prevent your pets from escaping. Dogs that are appropriate for a metal dog fence include the golden retriever, border collie, Labrador retriever, sheepdog and other medium-sized dogs.
