Frisco Wire Dog Exercise Pen with Step-Through Door

I use this pen inside. It was easy to assemble. It works well for my 23 lb dog. That dog as well as my 98 lb dog can easily push the gate open when the gate is locked. I use hooks to reinforce the locks on the gate. Since you don't anchor it down inside my 98 lb dog can move it around with ease. All of my dogs and one of my cats enjoy going inside as long as the gate is open. It's called an exercise pen however even the 23 lb dog doesn't have enough room to truly exercise therefore the name is misleading. I would recommend this pen for small dogs and medium sized dogs (up 35 lbs). I would never purchase it for a large high energy dog.

The pen is actually pretty great! I have an eight week old puppy, now 10 weeks old and without the pen I’m not sure how I would’ve managed her. She actually loves being in the pen as I put lots of toys and chewies for her and a soft pillow for her to nap on during the day. It’s helping potty train her very nicely. She can still see me and join in activities but with boundaries! Of course I let her out quite often to play but the pen has been awesome! My only complaint is they give you the brackets for outside use but nothing for inside. I did find some brackets that had adhesive for the tile floor. I haven’t put them on yet but plan to. She’s a puppy but she’s a strong puppy and she can move The pen is actually pretty great! I have an eight week old puppy, now 10 weeks old and without the pen I’m not sure how I would’ve managed her.

First of all, I want to say that the product is fairly well built for the price. However some design flaws leave us frustrated and not feeling as satisfied as we hoped. The biggest issue is the door placement - we are hooking this up to a crate for a puppy. We didnt realize that you cannot rotate or swap the panels out in the configuration so the door is absolutely useless to us now. Many of the connected wire pieces where it joins the top of the pen are not grounded down and are sharp. I'll probably add some foam pipe wrap to cover the edges. Also, some of the panels are warped from being compressed but it does not compromise the structure. Just overall feeling a bit let down.

Got this to give my puppy an area to hang out while I worked from home that would let her still play and get her energy out. She does cry when she initially goes in after a week but she quickly quiets down and plays with her toys or sleeps on her bed. I also use it when I am cooking or anytime I can’t keep an eye on her. It has been so useful! I do use it upside down so there isn’t a ledge for her to step over it get in and out. I also attach her crate to it sometimes to expand her space. Definitely recommend!

I bought this to help contain my dog who supposed to be in immobilized after surgery. He’s an extra large dog so I purchased that the tallest 48” model. However, it’s a little bit small in circumference for an XXL dog, so I would recommend actually adding a couple of extra panels on the ones that are taller. We ended up using this for outside time for our baby chicks instead (not to be used on supervised). I really like the inground stakes that come with it to stabilize it.

I’m using this wire pen indoors to contain my puppy. The advantages are that it is large enough for a pee pad, bed and a water dish. The disadvantages are that the wire might scratch the floor as it slides easily. We had to anchor the pen with cup hooks screwed into our window sill that fit around the wires. I would have used plastic, but my puppy chews everything incessantly so I have to have a metal pen. Once he is through the chewing stage, I’ll probably switch to plastic.

My dog hates being enclosed so we ended up send this back. Set up was easy but I ended up flipping the gate so that the dog didnt have to jump over the little step to get out. She was too small and we got the 24in. I think this would work better for someone who is using it outside where it can be staked down or if you weighted it down because my 5 pound pup was able to push it in towards her without a problem. Chewy was good with the return.

Compared to how cheap this is, I’d say the quality is pretty good but it’s not amazing. The sides were already sorta bent, including the door which makes it more challenging to close. Another thing I was highly disappointed with was the stabilizers. They would not stay put. It’s possible I was doing something wrong, but I tried them every way. I think it’s partly just you get what you pay for.

We got a baby lionhead bunny. We wanted him to have plenty of room to do his binky and hopping around. So we got this size. Very pleased. You ca make it any shape you want pretty much. It’s roomy and has 2 door clasps well made and a hook to ensure it stays locked. He loves it! I’m very glad we got this size and the price was about $30 cheaper getting it from Chewy than local places! Fast shipping! You can never go wrong buying from Chewy. It’s personal service, too!

I use this cage every time I go outside. We have 3 bunnies and they all love to play together in it. I also have 2 dogs and they run around and have plenty of room!!! I love how it can go into any shape you want and the size and price is terrific!! (And I love the step through door) Well, the moral of this story is; JUST GET IT!!!!!!!!!
