Petmate 8-Panel Wire Dog Exercise Pen with Door, Black

I used this to create a “pet porch” space around my front door on my raised front porch. My pets (1 50lb border collie mix and two cats) are all quite sociable but since the start of the pandemic we haven’t had nearly as many opportunities for them to interact with other people or animals, so I thought it might be nice to give them a little semi-public space where they could watch the neighbors and interact with delivery people etc. It has been a HUGE hit, both for my pets and the people who say hi to them daily now! One of my cats basically lives on the front porch during the day now, and my dog loves being able to say hi to people. I even affixed a bag of dog treats to the outside of the pen I used this to create a “pet porch” space around my front door on my raised front porch.

The pen itself is sturdy and versatile; as long as your pets are the type to respect barriers (and not put much effort into knocking them down) you should be fine. The only thing I’d change is that it would be nice to be able to adjust where the “door” is in the series of panels — because the door is at the far end, I have to basically move the entire thing over to get in and out of my front door rather than just using the built-in door panel. Still, this thing is super useful and has added a lot of value to my pets’ daily life! … more

The X Pen that I purchased is one of my best investments. My 8 wk old puppy is practically house trained because of it. She sleeps and when she wakes, walks outside and goes potty, then we play together for awhile. The I put her back in the pen when she gets tired, then we repeat! One of the best things that I've ever bought! I highly recommend it and it was a very reasonable price!

I got this to attach to my puppy’s crate in the house to give him just a little extra room when I have to leave him home. It’s a great height that he can’t jump and clips easily to the sides of the crate. He can’t escape even though he tries by moving the panels around. My first dog, however, would have found a way to escape because he was Houdini. If your dog is an escape artist, I doubt this pen will hold them. For all others, it’s a nice little pen!

This is perfect for a Holland Lop we found..gives her plenty of room to roam and room for her cage and litter box too. And I ordered it Saturday evening and was at my door Monday morning..awesome!!

This makes a great enclosure for indoor house rabbits. I now have two of these, one as a home base for my free roam house rabbit, and one to put around our woodstove to keep our rabbit safe while still providing a door for us to access the stove. This Petmate pen is made of a higher quality than many of the other metal exercise pens on the market. It's also handy that it folds up so we can easily take our rabbit with us when we travel and have an enclosure for him when we get to where we're going.

Although light in weight this playpen has served well for our large dog as a safe place during the day she hates her cage but happily goes into this enclousure.

I bought 4 sets of these to line my deck railing. The rails are set wide enough for my 13# pooch to go through. I simply quick tied them together and presto! I have a covered dog run.

I really love it it's the right size for my puppy and dog going to order a nother one to connect to the one I have too give my dogs more room to run and play

This pen is described as a dog pen but we use it as a run for our rabbits. The pen attaches to their cage with snaps. We can open the pen with the door or by detaching it from the cage. The rabbits love running around their pen!

I thought I would be able to separate each panel. I couldn’t use it in the way I wanted to. If I added another enclosure to this one it would be to big. I have to take the entire enclosure outside to clean vs just the dirty panel. It already has rust places that I will have to paint. I really think it should be a better product for the price.
