Which Fence Is Best for Dogs and Pets?
For many Lexington homeowners, a fence is more than just privacy or curb appeal — it’s about keeping pets safe. With four dogs and six cats of his own, CJH Fencing’s founder Christian Halliwell knows exactly what works best for pets of all sizes.
Best Fencing Options for Dogs
Wood Privacy Fencing
A six-foot wood fence is one of the most secure options for large dogs that love to jump or climb. With tight pickets and no gaps, it also prevents small dogs from squeezing through.Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl privacy panels lock together tightly, making them chew-proof and difficult for pets to damage. Vinyl is also smooth, so dogs can’t climb it easily.Chain Link Fencing
Chain link is affordable and strong, but not ideal for dogs that climb. Adding privacy slats or making the fence taller can improve security.Combination Fencing
Some pet owners combine wood or vinyl with wire to create a custom solution that keeps pets in while matching the home’s look.
Things to Consider for Pet Fencing
- Height: Six feet is recommended for medium-to-large breeds.
- Durability: Vinyl and metal are harder for dogs to chew or scratch.
- Visibility: If your dog barks at everything they see, a solid privacy fence may reduce stress.
- Gates: Secure latches are a must to prevent accidental escapes.
