Anyone have a "Best Pet" Playpen/tent?

[loley]

Hello..I found this playpen/tent at amazon just wondering if anyone has it...it is by best pet here is a link for the medium size..

Amazon.com: Best Pet Folding Play Pen - Medium -...
Just curious if anyone has this? I have no clue what size to get. The sizes seem messd up as it says XS is 33" in diameter and S is 30" in diameter. I was thinking of getting a S or M (43") for my puppy to have space to be when I am not around to watch her. Any suggestions? Or a different playpen I should look into?

Thanks!

I just bought this pen in the zebra stripe (size small I think...33" anyway) and I have so far loved it!!! Keep in mind, my dog is almost two years old and completely through the chewing stage...I'm not sure if this would be a good pen for a really aggressive chewer as it is made of netting and canvas. But for us it was perfect, especially considering the price! It's a great size for my five pound girl and it's open so she loves being in it as she can see all around. It's also so super easy to put up/take down. Like, literally can be done in seconds.

I also have one of the pack-n-play type pens that usually run around $120 and while I like it, it is not nearly so easy to unpack/repack. And even packed, it is really too big to haul around with us. However, it is sturdier than the Best Pet pen and I think it would be harder for a puppy to chew through. Another thing I like better about the Best Pet pen is the canvas-type bottom. It's so easy to clean up water spills or crumbs from food/treats. Just wipes away and doesn't leave a mark. With the other pen, I would have to toss the separate cloth bottom in the washing machine if it got anything on it.

If you have any specific questions about the pen, just let me know and I'll do my best!!

I got one on Ebay and it's a medium. It's very handy to have when my grandchildren visit to keep Lady safe.

As Cirlonde said, though, it is not appropriate for puppies. A puppy could chew through the mesh in a matter of minutes.

I have one of these for Ruby. She is 11 months old, but has never been an agressive chewer. So this works perfect for us. It's very easy to clean. She has a bed in there and I put her food/water in there because our larger dog won't go in there.

I have the size small for Chewie. If I were buying another, I think I'd get a medium. It has just enough room for his bed, dishes, and a small piddle pad. Chewie's 8 months, not an aggressive chewer, and I haven't had any problems with him chewing on it at all. It does clean easy (I soaked it in my bathtub). The only problem is that it is so lightweight and easily tipped over. If I'm leaving him in it unsupervised, I put it in a corner with my piano bench next to it so he can't tip it. It's lightweight and folds flat, so it's great for traveling. I haven't regretted getting it at all, and we use it everyday!

ok thanks for the info! i'm still going to try it out, only because on the occasion i am not home for a long period of time I feel too bad putting her in the crate...but I will still keep the playpen in one room with no access to the rest of the house,, just in case!

Medium! You need plenty of room and the large and extra large aren't really too big, but medium suffices. but the medium is the most functional for me when I have to set it up at other people's houses and at the beach or river etc. As you can see my "Teapot" is running from one side to the other chasing his rolly ball playing contently in it. I swear by it! I love that you can attach a water bottle, so it works great for my mini schnauzie also. You have to consider weather or not you have an escape artist though I cannot use it for my Scoobers as he will lifts the floor right up and go under and out and be gone. But properly trained and used to it-especially with a little Yorkie it should be fine. That's a decent sale price for it on Amazon too. I can't say enough about this product it has lasted me, is very durable, washable, easy to transport and set up and my dogs for the most part really enjoy the features of it-double doors, we use it as a play "tunnel" a lot and the fact they can see out of it all over or we can add the shade roof to it and a floor or remove them as needed! As long as you don't have a serious "chewer" or an "escape artist" this is so much better, nicer, easier to transport, and more multifunctional than a traditional hard box kennel.

I have 2! I have a pink one for showing pups on puppy visits and I have a leopard print one I use in my family room. I leave the door open and put beds and toys in it and they love going in when they want and sleeping in the beds. Kinda their own little get away. they also enjoy rough housing in them haha.

I have the pink one in xsmall for my 4 pound puppy and it suits her just fine. I don't think you'd need a medium, but I guess more room can't hurt.

Has anyone bought this from an actual store??? I hate waiting for things!!!!

They sell them at Upland Feed and Fuel in Upland, California. But I doubt you'd want to drive that far to get it.

I've ordered three of them on ebay and they took only a couple of days to arrive. I have one in the bedroom, one in the living room and a third for travel/emergency use. All are the small size. Getting ready to order the largest size so Tallulah has room to play outdoors when I can't keep an eagle eye on her.

I have 2 one small I keep at home and a medium size one at my daughters house for when I visit her in NC. I like the medium size one the best it gives my pups more room to play. I ordered mine on Ebay and got it 3 days later.

Does anyone live their yorkie in it while they are away from the home? Remy stays in a canvas/netting carrier while I am away. He is not a chewer, he loves it. It's large like a crate. I was wondering would this play pen be suitable to leave him in while I am gone? Thanks.

I have 2 of them lol I love them...I keep one 24x44 up stairs with only his bed and 1 potty pad in it and one 24x59 down stairs with another bed and his food and water and room for him to play I'm potty training for outside so I don't keep any potty pads in this one unless I know I'm goona be gone for more that a few hours...I got mine off of ebay.

the 43' one would be good for just sleeping in...I got the 59' one so he would have enough room for his food/water, bed and room to play when I can't watch him.

I just bought the same type pen by Pet Gear. I bought it for travel, hotels, visiting family, etc. We went with medium. I have it set up so she gets used to it, but haven't actually used it yet.
