Best Pet Folding Play Pen - Medium - Burgundy

Best Pet Folding Play Pen - Medium - Burgundy

Whether inside or outside the Best Pet Soft Sided Play Pen is the answer for a play pen for that is quick and easy to set up. It is excellent for travel because it sets up in seconds yet folds easily and stores in a carrying case that is just 24" by 19" by 2" thick. This water-resistant play pen works well inside or out and is especially useful for sick or expecting pets that need to be confined. Setup is easy, simply unfolds in seconds with out any tools. For outdoor use you can use the included ground stakes to secure the play pen to the ground. Because it completely encloses your pet another use for this playpen is for sunning reptiles. It has side pockets for convenient storage of small items. The play pen measures 43 inches in diameter by x 22 1/2 inches high. Available in burgundy and cream, blue and cream, pink & cream, teal and cream, blue plaid, pink plaid, leopard skin, zebra skin, and camouflage colors.

My little dog who was recently adopted from the animal shelter loves her new play yard. She is much too small to be outside on her own in our big backyard, so this will provide the security she needs while allowing in plenty of sunshine and fresh air. The picture is great, but you will not believe how roomy it is and also easy to set up. When I removed the play yard from the box and tote bag, it literally popped open and was ready for use. Sturdy. Good quality. I recommend this product for anyone who travels with a small dog or wants to bring your dog outside in nice weather without using a leash or chain.

This is better than I was expecting. I was a little skeptical when I ordered this that it wouldn't be what I wanted. But it seems to be very well constructed and will suit my purposes well.
I am using it as a playpen for foster kittens. When they are very little it will help to keep them from wandering off and getting under furniture, but with the top left open Mama cat can easily jump in and out when she wants a break.
This pen is relatively easy to clean - a must in animal rescue. I can even take it outside and scrub it and hose it off if necessary. Small spots are easy to clean with a washcloth.
I love how light it is and how easy it is to store. I have been using a segmented plastic playpen system, and while it does fold flat for storage, it is cumbersome to deal with. This pop-up unit can actually be set up in seconds. Just open it up....that's all the set up needed.
I work in animal rescue and many times want to take kittens to an off-site event and this is an easy solution to the problem of how to show them at events. This unit is self-contained, sets up easily, and is easy to clean. The kittens can be seen from all angles and with the top attached it prevents the kittens from climbing out, as well as prevents people from reaching in to pick them up. I don't think I would keep older kittens in this unit -- I would worry that they might tear the mesh. I may try it for short times but I would certainly never leave them unattended.
It is very easy to set up, but pay attention when you open it up to help when you need to fold it away. Because there are many panels, folding it to stow it can be challenging. You have to get the panels aligned just right, and even then it can be tricky to get it back into the handy storage/carrying pouch. Don't throw away the instructions. You will need them.

I ordered the burgandy play yard but received a blue/yellow plaid version. I actually like the color I got better than the one I ordered. The play yard is wonderful. Easy to move from room to room in the house and very sturdy. We took it on a road trip and it was perfect for setting up in the back of the van and in the hotel room. I highly recommend this product!

I received my product sooner than expected and my cat loves the tent it is enormous. I would absolutely buy from them again.
