Great option for new shelter dog
This pop up playpen has been a great option for our newly adopted shelter dog to have a place to be sometimes. It’s great for during dinner or other times when I can’t watch her constantly but I’m still nearby. It allows her to be able move, stretch, lay down, chew toys and play ball at her convenience while I’m busy doing household chores or on the computer.It is not a durable device, but if you’re dog understands “no” or “stop that”, then you should be good. Just tell the dog “no” if they start to scratch at the side mesh. My dog listened – it’s worth the try.I don’t think our dog absolutely loves it, but she appreciates it. She is glad that she can be in the playpen instead of her crate – like I said – it increased our options as we are acclimating her to living inside the house, potty training, and teaching appropriate social behaviors.Our dog is lab/amstaff and loves to chew and she’s 1 year old.Perhaps the BEST THING about this device, is that when she is loose in the house, we leave the door to the playpen unzipped and we can play fetch indoors with her. She will chase the thrown ball into the playpen and reemerge shortly for another round. Great option for tiny house or apt living for sure. It has really helped when it’s rainy/muddy outside and we need to play inside instead.Highly recommend this device or one like it. I don’t expect it to last forever. I just need it for now during her training and development. Worth every penny.UPDATE: Still 5 star. But repeated use as a Fetching pen for living room fetch does wear out the bottom layer of fabric. So plan accordingly. I’ve discontinued the living room fetch with it to extend the life of the item. I might modify the base of the item to be more durable. The dog’s dives into the pen like home plate in baseball when retrieving the ball, and her claws are too much for the base layer.

Perfect for our little fur baby!
We just brought home a new kitten to join our family, and we want to make sure she’s safe from getting into trouble at night time when we sleep, at least for the first couple weeks. I can fit her mini litter box, her food and water bowls, and her little bed, stuffy, and a couple little toys inside and she’s good to go till morning. She loves it and see’s it as her little house where all her “stuff.” we leave it unzipped during the day so she can come and go, and then put her to bed at night. Also helps deter the other animals from using her box, and eating her food. The price was pretty amazing too!

Not cat proof, probably not dog proof either
My cat chewed the entire bottom part of the door open, ripped it apart. She’s a 16 year old senior cat who is skinny and slow… if she could do that, I can’t imagine what an average age dog or cat would do to it. This won’t hold up long, lasted us weeks? I can still use it, I just put something heavy in front of the door so she can’t escape (she has cat-dementia) and only keep her in it at night when we can’t watch her, cause she likes to wander and potty everywhere. It needs a reinforced door around that zipper, that part is weak and easily ripped off. Other than that, she likes it during the day and will actually go in there to nap or eat and potty…. so I give it 3 stars for the jekyll side of her.

Easy to set up
This was easy to set up, came exactly as described and the pink is adorable. Sturdy enough. I had to get the medium size for my 15 lb dog, as she has long legs of an Italian Greyhound. She didn’t hate it. However when she panicked when I was gone a little longer than expected, she was able to scratch through the material and break through the mesh door. But this was only because she was in there longer than expected. I would still highly recommend this.
