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.
Sleeping with your dog

I've slept with Basenjis for over 60 years and haven't yet succumbed to any fatal diseases!!!!
-
I can't sleep without them, so if they kill me with disease, at least I'll be rested.

My turn…I don't sleep with my dogs...but I do dooze off and snuggle with them lots :);)...since Pippin's moved in we have had company in our bed between 5 and 6 am mainly for me to get in one more hour of sleep but also because I love to snuggle with puppy breath and needle teeth.....the thing about salmonella and all those things..you can get that from eating tomatoes, spinach and even jalapenos in this country...shoot even breating the air here in Houston might be fatal...but Anne said it best..

Don't think Abbey is likely to give me either salmonella or the plague. I'd die of loneliness without my little cover lump, or else I'd freeze to death.
