Fabulous Pet Portable Doggie, Puppy, Cat, Kitten Play Pen, Medium Size

Just go ahead and buy it. This is so much more humane than a wire crate. I work from home and put Julie in it with a few toys, a blanket and a couple of overlapping puppy pads. Basically the same thing you would do if crate training. I'm not saying that SHE loves it because of course she wants out, but for me it has been a lifesaver. I looked at all the playpens, including human ones, and this one is perfect. The bottom is attached, and if you look at the top you can see that it bends in a bit making it almost impossible to climb out of. At night, we put her baby bed in with a puppy pad in front and she sleeps all night. Of course because I'm home she is not in it much but I would still purchase it over a crate. In terms of size: she is 1.8 lbs currently and it is perfect. I would only purchase the small for a toy size dog because once you have a play area and a potty area it's not that big. Once she is potty trained and I can take out the puppy pads that will free up a lot of room, but then again, once shes potty trained why would I need it? I think it is a steal because it is incredibly well made and thoughtfully designed. Well done!

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this pen for my puppy, since I needed something large enough to be able to crawl into and play with her (my place has some horrid issues that I won't get into here, and I wanted her to be safe).She loves her pen, as it is large enough for her food dishes and her potty area to be spaced well apart. She likes to eat her pads so the only messes I really need to clean up are her poos, and she does them in one area of the pen, which is super easy to clean; the material is like a light tent material that's supposedly waterproof(?), or at least water resistant and cleanups are a breeze.Truly considering getting the taller one because this XL size is a little short for when I'm sitting in there with her and the cover is on/zipped, but otherwise it has truly been a literal lifesaver for her. But then again I've been lucky to have such a sweet and gentle small puppy who doesn't destroy everything she puts her mouth on. I got this color because it's a very "Octonauts" color type of theme and as I predicted before I picked her up at 8 weeks, she really does like the show and will stare at the TV during certain episodes (she likes the whales, LOL). But I imagine that the other colors are cool too, just not for my baby (camouflage ones almost tempted me, but camo was the preferred choice of my boy who passed away in June).I have YET to try and re-fold it and dread the day that I have to, but it did come with detailed instructions on how to do it. I have a smaller and similar type of pen that I can practice on though, I guess? But as a whole, I feel like this product was money well invested for our small fur family (recall, I got the largest diameter size, but not the tallest...perhaps if I did get the taller one I could see my TV from here LOL).

We moved from Virginia to Alaska with a scottish terrier and 2 cats. This item was INVALUABLE..I can't express that enough! We stayed at many hotels and we would place a disposable litter box in this playpen for the cats. We would usually leave the zippered screen off the top, so the cats could jump in and out, although they were lazy and preferred going through the doors instead. This contraption allowed us to keep every hotel and housing area we were in clean. It folds up quickly into an inconspicuous carry case. I recommend following the directions for folding it if you would prefer to avoid fighting with it or worse, breaking it. Provided you care for it the way you are supposed to, I believe this product will last a long time. I brought a small hand broom with small dustpan and I would sweep up the escaped litter to throw away.We utilized this for over 2 months while moving across the country, as we took a month just to travel and sight-seeing, then we were in base temporary lodging for almost 2 months...One time, one of the cats missed the litter box and urinated partway in and out of the box. If this happens, scoop litter in to the playpen, allow it to absorb the urine, and throw it out. You can spray the whole bottom with a cleaner and wipe down with a wet cloth until it's completely clean again.The benefit to this enclosure vs some of the others is :1. The size, both in real estate and height. It is short (I am guessing about 18" high), and the square footage is small enough to fit in most hotel rooms (sometimes we moved the chair at the desk in the room and placed this partway under that). It's large enough for a small cat box and cat rug and still allows the vast majority of cat litter to stay inside the enclosure.2. The bottom is permanently attached and did not allow urine to pass through (that I am and ware of) the one time the cat missed the box. It was easily cleaned.3. The top is mesh, and unzips if you don't want to use it.4. You could probably use it to keep 1 cat in with litter box and food if you wanted...our cats had free range of each hotel room, but you have to be careful and these long road trips have resulted in many owners losing a pet when it sneaks out the hotel or car door.

We just adopted 2 8 week old kittens and this pen is a life saver. We know they are safe and sound when we are at work or at night, since their bed, food/water and litter box are in there with them. It's super easy to clean with a vinyl bottom. Nothing seeps through to my floor and they always seem to spill their water. The kittens can climb the netting all they want and I know they can't get out and into mischief while unsupervised. Eventually they will have full reign of the house, but until then, they have a safe haven to be in when we can't keep an eye on them.
