What Is the Best Fence for Dogs in DeSoto County?

Choosing the right fence for your dog is about more than simply enclosing your yard. The best fence depends on your dog's size, breed, energy level, and whether they like to jump, climb, or dig. At DeSoto Fence Co., we help homeowners throughout Hernando, Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Nesbit, Walls, and the surrounding DeSoto County area choose the best fence to keep their pets safe while complementing their property.

Privacy Fences

A wood privacy fence is one of the best options for many dog owners. The solid panels eliminate visibility outside the yard, helping reduce barking at passing cars, people, and other animals. Privacy fences also make it much more difficult for dogs to climb or squeeze through.

This option is ideal for:

• Large dogs

• Dogs that bark at everything they see

• Dogs that become excited by neighboring pets or wildlife

Chain Link Fences

Chain link fencing is another excellent choice for dogs. It provides a secure enclosure while allowing visibility throughout the yard. Chain link is durable, affordable, and requires very little maintenance.

For larger dogs, standard chain link works great. If you have a very small dog, we can install smaller mesh options that make it much harder for them to squeeze through.

Crossbuck Fence with Black Wire

One of our most popular options is a crossbuck fence with black wire. This style offers the attractive appearance of a traditional farm fence while the black welded wire provides a secure barrier for pets.

Many homeowners choose this option because it:

• Maintains an open, decorative appearance

• Keeps dogs safely contained

• Blends well with larger properties and wooded lots

• Provides excellent visibility while remaining secure

The black wire is much less noticeable than standard galvanized wire, giving the fence a clean, upscale appearance.

Aluminum and Pool Fences

Aluminum fencing is a beautiful choice and is commonly installed around swimming pools. However, homeowners with smaller dogs should know that many small breeds can fit through the standard spacing between aluminum pickets.

If you own a small dog, we recommend installing puppy panels.

Puppy panels are additional wire panels installed along the bottom approximately two feet of the fence. They feature much smaller openings that prevent puppies and small breeds from slipping between the pickets while preserving the clean appearance of the aluminum fence.

Puppy panels are a great solution for breeds such as:

• Yorkies

• Chihuahuas

• Dachshunds

• Shih Tzus

• Maltese

• Toy Poodles

• Other small breeds

Which Fence Is Best?

Every dog is different, but here are our general recommendations:

Best for large dogs: Wood privacy fence or chain link fence.

Best for small dogs: Privacy fence, chain link with appropriate mesh, or aluminum fencing with puppy panels.

Best for appearance and security: Crossbuck fence with black wire.
