Overview
A round pop-up playpen for small and medium dogs, and cats, built from 600D Oxford cloth with a zippered top and a waterproof floor. It folds flat for travel and comes with a collapsible bowl, sized for indoor use at home or on trips.
Despite being filed under dog crates, this is a soft-sided enclosure, not a hard crate: it has no walls rigid enough to contain a determined chewer or a strong jumper, and A4 Pet lists it for indoor use rather than as an all-weather kennel. The pop-up design means setup and breakdown take seconds rather than tools, which is the main appeal over a wire pen.
- 39.5 x 39.5 x 39.5 inch round pop-up design
- 600D Oxford cloth with zipper top
- Waterproof floor
- Includes collapsible bowl, no assembly required
Who it's for
Owners of small to medium dogs or cats who need a temporary, portable enclosure for the house, a hotel room, or a yard visit, rather than a permanent kennel replacement. Not a fit for large or powerful dogs, or anyone needing outdoor-rated, chew-resistant containment.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sets up and folds flat in seconds
- Waterproof floor contains messes
- Includes a collapsible travel bowl
- Light enough to carry between rooms or trips
- Soft sides will not stop a determined chewer
- Listed for indoor use, not built for weather
Performance notes
The zipper closure and pop-up frame let the pen go from packed to set up quickly, and the waterproof floor keeps accidents from soaking through to whatever surface it sits on. At roughly 40 inches across, it suits one small or medium dog, or a couple of cats, but the soft sides depend on supervision rather than physical strength to keep a pet inside.
