Pet Portable Foldable Playpen, Exercise 8-Panel Kennel Mesh Shade Cover Indoor/Outdoor

I bought this item for my cat to keep her from roaming around the house while we treated her for fleas. The kennel was very easy to put together but one part keeps caving in. Since she was "locked" in there, I had to put her litter box in the kennel so I put the box up against the part that folds in. I really hope this will get better as it sits open (for future use) but I am glad I found a fix at the moment. Other then the kennel holding in, I love it! I love that you can open the top (easy to clean/access cat) and a great size. I can fit her, a small litter box and food/water and she still has a spot to lay. I also love that it has a carrying case for when it is not in use.

I bought this to take to work with me when I first got my Dalmatian puppy and he was too young to be home by himself (6 weeks). It was really great at first, easy to pop up, would keep him in one spot, and was very cute. But when he turned abut 8 weeks old, he was jumping up on the sides after waking up from his nap and flipping the entire playpen over. His water bowl would launch across my office, food would go everywhere, and my little escape artist would be roaming the halls.So this isn't sturdy in the least, it's pretty flimsy and has a tendency to keep folding up on itself if you hit the seam just right. The lining on the bottom is also not water proof. I thought with it being a plastic material that it would hold water, but I found out the hard way that water (and pee) goes straight through the lining and makes an even bigger mess than if the bottom was just open (it's not removable).This would be great if you needed a place to keep very little and very young puppies in one place, but after about 7 to 8 weeks, the energy levels and intelligence of some dogs will exceed this playpen's ability to hold them.

So far this is exactly as I'd hoped for, and the product was delivered right on time! It's really good quality, which I was skeptical because of price, but it's not cheap looking or feeling (material wise). I am using this as a summer home for my baby chics. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because it's very lightweight, which for some people is probably desirable. In my case it could be heavier to keep from blowing over, but I will put something in there to hold it down. The weight is in product description, so this wasn't a surprise or anything. All in all I have a really good feeling about this product...I think I will get a lot of use out of it! Plus the price is fantastic!!

I ordered this to use at my in-laws house. My 3lb chihuahua/Italian greyhound is my emotional support animal. This worked perfect for her. I put her in there with a small water and food bowl, a pee pad and a blanket. The carry case made it so easy to fold up and put in my suitcase. The one spine between the panel with the door and the panel next to it would not lock into place, so it kept folding in so it was one long side. I will probably bring along a clamp of some kind to make sure it stays next time. But overall I was thrilled with it. It was exactly what I needed.

I purchased this for my parents for their indoor cat who is determined to be an outdoor cat. He escaped the house and was missing for a full week before returning much lighter. Despite this traumatic experience he is determined to go back outside on another adventure, we know what they say about curiosity and cats. We’re hoping this will be the safe solution. The medium has enough room for at least two cats if they are okay with being in close corridors. If using for a single cat they will have a comfortable amount of leg room to lay and pace around for different angles to see outside. It comes packaged flat in a carrying sleeve. It easily folds out and pops up like a little tent. The top unzips easily so you can put your pet inside. The mesh on the sides is thick so if your cat or puppy is going to chew through it, it should take them long enough that you would notice in time to stop them. I was nervous as other similar play pens use a material similar to mosquito netting. There is a thin tarp-like material on the floor which looks like it will be easily to spray down if needed!

This playpen was worth every bit of the money I paid for it. Having said that, you need to think about how it will be utilized. I foster "bottle baby" kittens and for them, this playpen is priceless. The large playpen is large enough for a small fabric house, a litter box, and a food and water dish. I place a heating pad under the playpen and the kittens have a nice cozy, safe, contained place to play. The large is comfortable enough for 3 kittens to have plenty of room to play. Yes, they eventually learn that they can claw their way out of the playpen but the mesh has been able to withstand those tiny claws without ripping even the slightest hole. Lately, I've had 2 puppies in the playpen and that is able to hold them until they are about 5 weeks old and then the pups become strong enough to collapse the sides of the playpen. So, the playpen ended up being their nightly place to sleep.Being able to fold it up and go was very convenient. It takes a little practice to fold but still worth the money.

Compared to other foldable kennels I have purchased, this one is the worse. The sides will not stay folded out. I have tried bending the metal (or whatever the material is that forms the sides) more outward to try and keep them in place but to no avail. The vinyl or other material seems sturdy and durable enough, but the sides are a pain. It seems the dimensions are too tight or the bands are too weak to keep the shape of the kennel in place. I guess for the price I shouldnt have expected more. I am trashing this one and getting the last brand. It didnt last that long (zipper on top wore out after 7 months) but at least I didnt have to have a wrestling match every day to keep it in form!

I got this pen for my ferret. I filled it with ping pong balls for her to play with. She loves it! It’s nice that I can zip the top closed if I want her to stay in the pen for a bit. I love that it has the little side door with Velcro that keeps it open so she can go in and out easily. The only thing is that sometimes one of the weaker corners likes to collapse in. It’s not dangerous or anything, just kind of annoying.
