Overview
A 48 inch round pop up playpen and whelping box for dogs and cats, with a waterproof polyester bottom and zip closure. Ships with a collapsible bowl and a carry bag, and needs no assembly to set up.
The listing groups this under dog crates, but the design and included whelping box point to a soft-sided pen meant for supervised space, not a hard-sided crate. It pops open flat and zips shut for storage or travel, which suits campsites and apartment floors more than long-term confinement. At 24 inches tall it will not contain a dog that jumps or climbs well.
- 48 x 48 x 24 inch round pop up design
- Waterproof polyester bottom panel
- Includes collapsible bowl and carry bag
- Zipper closure, no assembly required
Who it's for
Owners raising a litter of puppies or kittens, or anyone needing a quick contained space for camping, indoor play or vet visits, will get the most use from this pen. It is not a substitute for a rigid whelping box or an outdoor kennel for a large adult dog that tests barriers.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sets up without tools or assembly
- Waterproof floor for whelping or outdoor use
- Packs into an included carry bag
- 24 inch walls suit only low-jumping dogs
- Soft sides will not stop a determined chewer
Performance notes
The 48 by 48 inch round footprint and pop up frame let it open and close in seconds, and the zipper closure keeps the panel connected rather than relying on clips. The waterproof polyester bottom protects flooring from whelping mess or outdoor damp, and the whole pen folds back into its carry bag for storage between uses.
