Pack N Play Hey Everybody, So I will be getting my new furbaby soon and I am very excited. I am wondering if you think this will work. I am getting a pack n play for an actual skin baby, from someone over the weekend. What my vision is, is that I will have pee pads in it, bed, food, water, and a small kennel if it wants to go in there. Will this work ok? I know this is different from what I have read in other threads but hoping to get your advice. I want my new puppy to be safe during the times I am not able to be with it. Any and all feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:) |
I found that an uncovered playpen was fine for the first two weeks I had Tallulah. After that she was able to jump high enough to catch the top of the playpen and lift herself up so she could jump down. I still have one next to my chair in the living room where she sleeps when she wants her own space and when I'm there to keep an eye on her. Otherwise she is in a fabric and mesh pen the has a zip-up mesh cover when she's not under supervision. Congrats on your future puppy - looking forward to seeing pics! |
I don't think this will work for long. I actually start my puppies (newborn/whelping) in a pack N play with a plastic under-the-bed type rubbermade container in one end, lined with soft blanket for a whelping box. The rest is covered with pee pads and has water and food for momma. Once the puppies are ready to climb out of the whelping box I move them to a playyard that has 3 times the room. They get a soft bed and the play yard is lined with pee pads. They stay in this arrangement until they are ready to go to new homes. This is also what I put up for Annie my new pup that I just got at 11 1/2 weeks old. The pack N play is too easy for them to snag their little nails in the netting. It also becomes too easy for them to climb and possibly hurt themself during an escape attempt. They may also try to chew theirselves out. So -- I would not recommend a Pack N Play for puppies old enough to rehome. This is what I recommend you get : http://www.walmart.com/ip/North-Stat...t-Gate/8457890 These are so convenient and can be used for a very long time. They are super easy to clean and last virtually forever. |
here is a good thread on this i found: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...e-playpen.html i have a playpen im going to use as well for the first bit when i get my baby home. here is another good thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...e-playpen.html both positive and negative i think each dog is different. try it and see how it works for you. if it doesnt work out, find a different way. :) im not an expert in anyway, i just read this forum a lot and have read many things about plapens, etc. Good and bad. I think its up to you in the long run. ;) cute pics in this post: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/17039-post6.html |
1 Attachment(s) I have a pet play yard that I used when Bella was just a pup...and still use it when we go visit family or on vacation and she goes with us. As you can see the top zips up...its very portable with a carrying case..I love it..got it off of ebay. They come in many sizes and colors. |
I use a pack and play with Dolly. She's about 7 pounds, and her head's about 12 inches from the ground. I use the pack and play only when we're going somewhere else. I brought it to my friend's summer house, for example, to keep her from getting underfoot when a lot of people were there walking around. When I wasn't able to keep constant supervision on her (cooking, swimming, etc), I put her in the pack and play. I kept some blankets and toys in there, and she mostly sleeps, actually. She gets pretty worn out from all the action and attention when we're at cabins, parties, etc. Dolly's very good with boundaries though - she doesn't go through a fence, even if there's a big hole in it. She knows when she's put somewhere with a wall or fence that she's supposed to stay there. |
