I assumed Petco is the same way since I've looked on their website as well... Target & Walmart only have beds. CVS would have never crossed my mind! I will definetly take a look over there now!

I have looked on EBAY and i saw a lot. The ones with the pawprints show up a lot everywhere I've looked lol.

So now I was wondering how big of a house should I get?? Charlie is about 6-7 pounds so I'm not sure if I need to get the 20 incher ones or the 17-18 ones will do??

I think this one is adorable. $43 dollars is a little expensive.. especially if i can find one at CVS for 10 dollars.. but if not I think I like this one. Would 17.7 inches L, W, & H be too tight for him you think?

I have that Snoopy one and it's so cute. Zada claimed it for herself. I made a thicker pillow for it because the one that came with it is very thin.

I got one at the department store, Kohl's. It's made by animal planet. It was $8-$12. Something like that.

I needed a multipurpose lightweight portable dog enclosure and searched all over. I found a great one in Target. For my 10 pound Yorkie the Sport Pet house was great. It is 13" wide X 26" long X 14" high. (And I think it comes in various sizes) It cost $20 and I use it mainly at night on the bed to stop him jumping off while I am asleep (as he is a BIG jumper). It is soft strong nylon(?) with mesh sides and one meshed end zips for entry. It is also good in the car and has 'kennel loops' to keep safe in the car via seat belt. There are mesh handles for carrying, but as it is very flexible it is good to take the dog out when moving. It folds down into a 10 diameter plastic case and is very lightweight and portable. (But I do not find it easy to fold up and put back in case. LOL)
If you want a strong but very light portable kennel, this one is good, and I have used it continuously for 6 months with no problems. However I don't know how it would stand up if your dog was a biter and scratcher, as he might get out!
My dog loves to go in it as his haven and I put a soft bed in it as the kennel does not have a bed. It is not meant as a soft X-pen, but more to contain your dog when you are able to watch him and don't want him wandering about the house or in the car.
So have a look and see what you think! Good Luck.
