Dog Playpen Portable Pet Play Pen Small 29in - Easy Setup & Travel

In this review of the DONORO portable dog playpen the bottom line is simple: this small 8-panel pen is best for owners of X-small dogs, kittens, rabbits or chicks who need a lightweight, travel-ready containment solution. It sets up in seconds, folds flat into a carrying case and offers a roomy circular 29in diameter interior for tiny pets to move around. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of portability and washable construction, which makes it practical for short trips, camping, or a temporary indoor play area.

Key Features

• Quick setup: Pops open in seconds with no assembly, so it is ready for play or containment right away.
• Portable design: Folds flat and includes a carrying case that makes transporting the pen to a vet, friend or campsite straightforward.
• Removable top and bottom: Zippered top and bottom panels provide flexible use outdoors or indoors and make access and cleaning easier.
• Durable materials: Made from washable 600D Oxford fabric with mesh panels and reinforced corners to stand up to normal wear and light chewing.
• Accessory pockets: Two pockets and a water bottle holder add convenience when using the pen away from home.
• Compact footprint: At roughly 29in diameter and 15in tall it fits into smaller rooms while still giving tiny pets space to move.

Who It's For

The playpen is ideal for owners of Maltese, Chihuahua, Yorkie size dogs, kittens, small rabbits and backyard chicks who need a lightweight, temporary containment area. Its low profile and modest diameter suit X-small pets up to about 12 inches tall to the shoulder, and the water-resistant fabric is useful for quick outdoor setup on grass or a patio.

Those who need a heavy-duty, chew-proof crate for a stronger chewer or a permanent indoor kennel should look elsewhere, and families who require a much larger play area for multiple medium or large dogs will find the size limiting. It is best used as a travel, training or temporary playpen rather than a full-time primary crate.
