IRIS USA 4-6 Panel Dog Exercise Playpen with Door, 24-in

Great for puppies!

I purchased this for my foster puppies to give them a little more space from a regular wire kennel. I am so glad I got it because it has really come in handy. For reference the two pups are about 6 lbs each in this photo and they are in a cat bed. The Pawtect washable pee pad also from Chewy (34x36 size) fits perfectly as the floor mat to protect. It is under the pee pads you see in the photo. It is durable, easy to wipe down, lightweight, and easy to move. 10/10 recommend!

Not great for climbers

My 11 lb puppy quickly discovered she could use the holes in the fence for her feet to climb over. She does okay when I'm in the same room with her but I was hoping to have a few minutes to get dressed while she played securely in a pen. The playpen came easy to put together and I've been able to move it room to room by flattening it. Would be a great product if it wasn't so easily climbed.

A few issues

I generally love everything from Chewy, but this is one exception. I really like the size of this pen and it's perfect for two young chihuahua puppies. We later ordered 2 extender panels and have ended up not using them for now while the pups are so small, because it makes the pen less stable. Here are the issues: it's overpriced for a cheap plastic pen (but isn't most plastic stuff?) and we really wish they would have enclosed the bottom few inches of the inside of each panel. Because puppies are not yet potty-trained, they sometimes go in the pen and the nooks and crannies of the inside of the pen walls are perfect spots for feces, urine and bacteria to thrive. It's only happened a couple of times, but because the plastic is not enclosed or covered, it makes it labor intensive to clean.

Great for sleeping at night!

We just got a puppy and I am still too weary to leave him out at night to sleep so we put him in his playpen every night to sleep and it is great! I can fit his bed, his water, a training pad and some toys, he is so accustomed to his routine now and we love it knowing that he is safe all night while we sleep and can't get into anything he shouldn't

easy to put together, good material

I think this pen is great. I like the plastic compared to metal options. The plastic inside is all smooth edges so there is no way a puupy can cut themselves. I can see many areas where they can get caught up in or hurt if they are going crazy in there. My puppy is just 3 months old, a lhasa mix, about 10 lbs. she cannot jump on furniture yet. It was working well but 5 days after having it she managed to jump out of it. So now im afraid she will just manage to jump out of it everytime im away. So i am trying to think of the next solution. I wish it was taller then 24” ! Maybe ill have to see if they sell a taller option.

We are very satisfied with the Iris 4 panel playpen with door. it is exactly the size we wanted and should be easy to move around the house. It is sturdy enough to handle a small dog.

design flaw

The old Rod system worked. This system does not. The panels separate entirely too easily allowing escape. This is a dangerous design.

Excellent for puppies

I work from home and recently got a puppy. It is very handy to ensure your pup is safe while you work. She loves to nap in it too

OK, but could be structured a bit better

I loved it but I’ve only had it for two months and the door doesn’t snap on to attach to the side anymore. Nothings broken so I’m not sure what happened. And now what’s the use of something to keep your pet safe that doesn’t close. I’m really disappointed.

Exercise pen

Awesome play area for our puppy. Help with potty training and for keeping the puppy safe when we are not able to watch her. Big enough for her to have her potty pad, bed, food and water and still an area to play.
