I want her to be more comfortable and have enough room for a piddle pad, small bed, water bowl and toys. I don't have room for a huge one, just big enough for those items and for her to be comportable and have room to move around and play with her toys.
I've looked at quite a few on Amazon are there are a lot of options. Any reccomendations? She's 4 lbs. now and most likely only going to get up to 5 lbs. She is agile though! She can jump high - I discourage this of course and I've also seen her kind of "climb" up the side of our high bed (also discouraged lol) so it has to be really inescapable. The "soft" sided ones look nice, but I'm afraid she'll either chew through it or take a good jump for the side and knock it over. Here's links to some of the ones I've looked at: Amazon.com: Iris CI-604 Indoor/Outdoor Plastic Pet Pen, 4 Panels: Kitchen & Dining Amazon.com: Best Pet Folding Play Pen - Blue - Small: Kitchen & Dining Amazon.com: 24H" x 24" 8 Panel GoGo Black Epoxy Exercise Pen w/ Door: Kitchen & Dining
The other thought I had was to get a large, metal, open kennel (like the one we use for our Akita) but idk what's a better option. Oh, my spending limit for this is about $60.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations  |
I have both the first one and the last one you listed. I really like the first one. It's nice and easy to move around and clean but I do have 2 dogs that can climb out of it!
I actually have 2 of the last one and I frequently link them together outside and I really like these as you can use them to block off a room or as I said, I will link 2 together and use them against the front of my house and that gives them a big area to play in so I like that it's flexible. I can also use one to block off the living room or part of a room but I do have one that will climb that one as well. I guess it would depend on what you are using it for. If you're just going out for a few hours, I think the first one is fine but it is a little small for a really extended period of time, imho.
