I'm not sure if everyone is aware of this or not, but if you have an iron fence and a very small dog who can squeeze through the bars, puppy bars or puppy panals will solve this problem!
Yeah, I wish I had known about puppy bars before we spent $12K on a fence last year! I assumed all 4" spaced iron fences were the same. Nope. Lily (our 11 pound Maltese) couldn't get through the iron fence at our previous home, but the fence we have now has 4 1/4" spacing (even though the fence installer called it 4") and that 1/4 inch difference is enough that she can easily escape. Ugh. So I attached rolls of sturdy 2 ft high plastic garden netting to the fence, but Lily still found spots she could escape. I did several other "fixes" but she would always find a point of escape.
They put this Iron Fence up at the local New Dog park! So unsafe!
Why is it unsafe? My neighbor has a fence like that, and the pointy part at the top of each puppy bar is flexible rubber, so a dog certainly can't impale himself.
They have this fence iron fence Next to a Very Busy road! My Pap Walks right thru the bars like they not even there! Yet the Big dogs side is Chain link.... You would think they switch it but complaints they keep saying no! I mean How hard is it to have the small dogs in the chain link side & the bigger dogs in the side where this fence is??? People that live in the Apts next to it cant use it. Feels like this is the Citys way of keeping them out. They are only allowed 20# & under dogs & no more than 12"
