Amazon Basics Foldable Octagonal Metal Exercise Dog Playpen - Indoor/Outdoor, No Door, Extra Small (8 Panels, 24 x 24), Easy to assemble, store, and customize, 24" - Puppy, Black

Perfect play pen for small dogs! The gate comes 99% assembled! Allowing ease of transporting to and from my office. I am pleased with the stability and that it allows my pup to safely play while I work. I love the versatility of being able to create many shapes!

These are absolutely perfect for a litter of puppies. They are the perfect weight because the puppies can’t move them around, but they are lighter weight than some of the other ones are and are easy for me to move them around. The door allows me to step through and also to section them off. With two pens put together I can move them into one area and close the door so they can’t get in there with me while I clean, then I open it up and let them back into the other area. In one side, I put bedding and their water bowl and toys and then the other side I have puppy pads where they learn to potty away from where they sleep, and it helps to jumpstart the housebreaking process in doing this. My puppies never go potty in any other area by the time they are 4 1/2 weeks old. I love these exercise pens and literally could not do without them. Very good quality and value for money. You will not regret buying these for your litter of puppies.

I purchased this for my 2 small dogs for when we need to leave the house. Its perfect for both of them. I’ve put both of their thick, foamy beds inside, food & water bowls but before adding all of that, I line the entire bottom with puppy pads in case of an accident. It works absolutely perfectly! I really love that additional panels can be purchased to add to my existing playpen for a much larger space. And I will be purchasing those extra panels when we buy our mobile home. I plan on setting it up as a yard for the dogs to come and go from being inside the mobile home and knowing they can’t run into a street or be bothered by even bigger, hostile animals just makes my life so much easier and my previous worries (prior to purchasing the playpen) disappear! Excellent price as well! The ONLY gripe I have is that it’s really very easy to set it up backwards (?). Meaning the door levers are on the inside instead of the outside but really, that’s an easy fix! As I noticed other reviewers have mentioned this, I also highly recommend zip ties for secured stability and safety!

I purchased a Used-like new item and it was exactly as described. No issues as far as quality control. The price is very reasonable compared to the same item at larger chain stores. And of course , the versatility of this is unmatched. I have this set up every night for my nine week old puppy to sleep in with an elevated bed inside. I generally crate train my dogs right from the beginning for bed time but am switching tactics to train to sleep in "their bed" instead of starting in an enclosed crate and working to an open door crate. My puppy is calmer when enclosed in this playpen then he was in his 48 inch crate. My other dog has an open crate with her comfy bed she sleeps in. I have also used this attached to a 36inch double door crate to put both my 2 yr old red nose pit and 9 wk old rottie in while I was running errands. Lastly this has also been used as a travel playpen at a family reunion (will update pics of that later). This has most definitely proved it's worth in each instance. I do not think this could be collapsed WITH extra reinforcements in each of these scenarios. When used with the elevated bed I have zip ties added on the sides where the feet for the elevated bed are. So the playpen is secured to the bed at the very bottom. This keeps the playpen from being able to be moved/caved in/etc while set up like this. When attached to the 36inch crate I have zip ties on 4 points where the crate and playpen connect to eachother. I also have the metal clips on there too but it seemed sturdier with the zip ties. The plastic clips that come with it for the top in my opinion are useless on their own. Hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. They constantly pop off at the slightest movement and become a hazard to the dog inside. Especially a teething puppy. To remedy this I also have these zip tied to the top. When used outside as a travel playpen I make sure it is strategically staked to the ground and the included metal clips to attach this to a crate becomes a back up door closure as well. Judging from some of the reviews I believe a bunch of people expected this to be like the heavy plastic kid play yards and were not expecting to take a few extra steps to think about how to reinforce it... take the extra time and make sure it is secure to make sure your dog is safe. Is it a portable tall thin enclosure. Of course on its own it is a bit flimsy. When used responsibly it is a great product and very simple to use. I am glad I bought this for sure. I am planning on buying another one so I can take both of my dogs on our last vacation of the summer and let them have some room to play without being on leads. It is not too heavy considering it's metal...and looks decent. Yes it's a bit bulky when set up. But it's fine..lol...for reference I bought the 59x48. Or 48x48x48. I don't believe in starting small and buying bigger as the dog gets bigger. They start out with ginormous stuff and grow into it so they know from the beginning it's theirs.

I purchased this to use it as a Long gate across an opening in my house knowing that I would have to zigzag it. But before I used it as that I put it up as a kitten kennel. It was big enough to where they had a place to sleep this place to play, eat and poo. It was perfect. Very easy to assemble and flexible in configuration. I don't know how well this will work for kittens as they might climb up the square openings but I chose it because I thought if I just had a kennel that had the long slats the kittens might be able to get through. I encourage you to give it a try

Connects together easily, study enough to keep a rambunctious puppy contained, and stores easily. This works very well. The unique need we have is to protect a Christmas tree and decorations from a wild puppy who gets into everything. The size was perfect for this and it worked perfectly without making the tree look strange. And, the puppy played all around it without every getting to anything on the tree.

Very sturdy and easy to use. Highly recommended

I bought this as a portable crate for my 10 pound Chinese Crested girl and her puppies to keep safe and secured from our other 2 larger dogs. I am happy in most aspects when it comes to this enclosure, and when it comes to the price I paid and value for the money. • Pros: It’s fairly sturdy if your dog woukd not try too hard to escape. It’s good for a small to medium dog. (If you have a large dog, you’d probably want to get two of them to connect together.) It does have a bar on the bottom of the door which creates about a one inch step into and out of the enclosure (see more about this in cons section at the bottom). It's easy to assemble, includes gate, and comes with parts to help stabilize panels for any configuration. It unfolds easily. The door is wide enough for her to get through, and the height is perfect for the puppies but if you have a stealthy small dog like mine then you will have a escapee. It's also heavyweight but not so heavy that it's not portable. It's a fairly decent size, and works well for her and her pups. The enclosure comes as one long piece that you snap the ends together. The company sends you clips for the top of the cage in order to configure it in a couple different shapes. They also send stakes that are helpful if you are using the cage outside. (However do not leave it outside too long as it will rust if it gets rained on.) There will be snaps for hooking up the enclosure to a cage if needed be as well. The puppies stay safe and sound inside, and that makes it easier for me to ensure things are puppy proof. • Cons: The video that shows you that you can walk through the gate, and the advertisement is incorrect when it comes to this. It has a bar across the bottom making it a bit more difficult to walk into the pen and harder to clean up for puppy training and cleaning up after your pet, and any messes made in the pen. But bar serves an important purpose if course, it just wasn't added for buyer to know about. The only other downfall really is that the corner pieces do not stay on that well. That causes it to not hold it's shape well, but I use zip ties temporarily if needed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
