Questions & Answers

28 Customer Questions

Would this playpen be okay to use as an enclosure for a kitten at night? Kitten-proofing can only do so much and i would like our future baby kitten to be safe while we sleep.

Answer by Chewy • Jan 05, 2021
This playpen is not for recommended extended use. Please consult a veterinarian or trainer for further recommendations.

Does the "optional" top come with this purchase, or is it an accessory sold separately?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 27, 2020
The zip-on top is included with this playpen.

Is it big enough for a litter box

Answer by Chewy • Nov 26, 2020
This playpen can be used to house a litter box.

Is this produce good for keeping a 3 month puppy in? I have a crate that he's great in overnight, but I'm looking for something to keep him in during the day when I'm gone for a few hours. I have an exercise pen but its too short and he is as tall as it is.

Answer by Chewy • Jan 14, 2022
This playpen is not chew/escape-proof. To make sure your dog adapts well to their new playpen, we recommend monitoring your pet closely during the first few days.

Game changer for my pups!

I recently took in my daughter’s dog to my already one dog household and I was dealing with resource guarding during meal time with both dogs. I left them out in

I recently took in my daughter’s dog to my already one dog household and I was dealing with resource guarding during meal time with both dogs. I left them out in the kitchen initially then slowly started moving meals inside the pens. Now both dogs are enjoying their dinner in a safe space. They are much happier and the resource guarding is a thing of the past. I highly recommend these well made playpens.

great size play pen!

I got this for a blind foster cat, Helen, to give her more space and keep her safe while she acclimates to my cats. It is a great size so she has room to move around

I got this for a blind foster cat, Helen, to give her more space and keep her safe while she acclimates to my cats. It is a great size so she has room to move around and also has room for her litter box, a bed, and her food & water bowls. The height is great since she sleeps on top of her small cat tree. Having the mesh top provides extra security for Helen so she doesn't jump out and get hurt. I just let her out the side door on the play pen, and she can step out. This is a great product overall!

Kitty Play Pen

We purchased this playpen for camping with our cat. She's an "indoor-outdoor" cat who loves to be outdoors. While camping, using a harness is not very enjoyable

We purchased this playpen for camping with our cat. She's an "indoor-outdoor" cat who loves to be outdoors. While camping, using a harness is not very enjoyable for her, and we've tried a few. The playpen allows her to be "free" and still be outside without the worries of her slipping out of her harness. She adapted well and I encourage cat owners that camp to consider a "playpen" so your camping cat can enjoy the outdoors as much as you do!

May as well be a single use playpen

Purchased this portable exercise playpen because of the decent ratings on Chewy. The use guide video associated with the product made storage seem like a breeze

Purchased this portable exercise playpen because of the decent ratings on Chewy. The use guide video associated with the product made storage seem like a breeze. Now it makes sense why there were so many jump cuts in between each fold because the product is designed to frustrate the user to no end. I followed the paper instructions and video instructions for over 30 minutes with no luck in getting the product to fold in a manner where the plastic poles inside would not be under major tension. Eventually, after 30 minutes of folding, the seams holding the plastic tubes decided to tear. All in all, a garbage product and it's very disappointing that the rating was as high as it was. If you buy this product, be prepared to not be able to fold it back to its original form for portability. If you plan on just opening it once or moving it sparingly, then maybe the product would be worth the cost but, if you plan on using it as a travel pen, skip it and look for another product. Also, best not to trust Chewy's rating system if something this broken is getting this many stars.

Convenient

I got the 42 inch one. Well made and spacious. It had a zippered top which i didnt use. It was big enough to fit my Chihuahuas bed, puppy pad and food and water

I got the 42 inch one. Well made and spacious. It had a zippered top which i didnt use. It was big enough to fit my Chihuahuas bed, puppy pad and food and water bowl. Very nice so they have there own space. Only used for a couple days at a hotel. Somehow she got out of the zippered door. Only complain is I couldnt get the pen to close the way it should to fit back in the carry case. Would like to use this for my cat outside as well but have to make sure he cant get out the door like the dog did.

Great kitten pen

I got this soft sided playpen to initially to put some kittens I found in my backyard ( about 6 wks old initially) until I can get them into foster/adoption program

I got this soft sided playpen to initially to put some kittens I found in my backyard ( about 6 wks old initially) until I can get them into foster/adoption program. It sets up really easily, easy to clean, and convenient zip top. I’m keeping these kittens longer than I thought so I actually bought the 62 x 62 x 36” pen and a zip tied them together at the side trap doors. They are working great for the purpose I need right now. The smaller pen is used for a potty and eating and the bigger pen is sleeping and playing. There’s plenty of room to zoom between the 2 playpens.

nice quality for price, can be hard to fold; can collapse if cats walk on top

We got the Large 42”x42”x24H” playpen for two active 5 yr old kitties. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. It was easy to set up. The cats were curious

We got the Large 42”x42”x24H” playpen for two active 5 yr old kitties. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. It was easy to set up. The cats were curious and immediately began investigating. We set it up without the top zipped closed, at first, so it was like a larger version of the tunnel they are familiar with and like. We added their toys and a pillow and they really started exploring. The next day we zipped the top shut and they still enjoyed it, although discovered quickly that it couldn’t support their weight on top (our cats are 10lbs &12 lbs). After that, they stayed at ground level. About a week later, we took it out on the deck and they settled right in, enjoying the breezes. Overall, very happy with the playpen. The only negatives are: 1) it is a bit hard to fold up. We opened it slowly, part way and tried to refold it a few times to get the “W” shape, before fully opening it up and locking the support bars in place. I took a video of my husband opening it and replayed it to get it figured out- Got it now! And, 2) it can collapse if any weight is on top of the playpen. Otherwise, happy with our purchase and would recommend this product.

Perfect Size for a Small Dog

I have a senior Yorkie who is blind and deaf and this is just right for travel and big enough I can put her bed, water dish and pee pads in and provide her enough

I have a senior Yorkie who is blind and deaf and this is just right for travel and big enough I can put her bed, water dish and pee pads in and provide her enough room to hang out without feeling like she's in a carry crate. I have to keep her contained when she's not on a leash or she'll wander off or bump into everything. I am planning a short trip next month and this is going to be perfect. Too big to fly with but will fit in the car.

I look for every reason to spoil Big Dave, my little 5 month old orange tabby. This playpen just arrived 4 hours ago. He is more relaxed than I have ever seen

I look for every reason to spoil Big Dave, my little 5 month old orange tabby. This playpen just arrived 4 hours ago. He is more relaxed than I have ever seen him while he and I relax on the patio. And it is an awesome place to put him when he is over stimulated, which happens often with this little guy.
