| Baby Playpens Does anyone use this for their yorkie? In another month it will be cool enough to cook. So I would like to move Buddy out of the kitchen. But I also need to contain him some how. It has to be a soft sided, so he doesn't hit his head on anything hard. I was thinking of a playpen but was wondering, could his little nails get caught in the mesh? Any other suggestions would be great. |

| My Gracie Bell is in a playpen (pac-n-play) when we need to contain her. It has her kennel, food, water, and potty pad. She sleeps in there too. It is beside my bed. Her nails don't get caught and she doesn't try and chew through. Lately she has decided to jump on top of her kennel though to reach the top edge. She is a little dare devil!!! Actually we have 2 play pens one for home and one for my studio. |

| I ordered the same tent as Lady Mom after it was posted on here. I ordered the teal color which is really a muted green. He loves it! It's like his little hideaway. It folds up and comes with a carrying case that's similar to a beach chair. I ordered it from this place and they offered free shipping and it came very quickly. We got the large one so he would have plenty of space to roam around. Pet Play Pen They were a pleasure to do business with. Good luck! |

| Thanks Ladies! I wouldn't have to worry about Buddy eating through it. He's 16 now. What is on the floor of the pac n play? Can I lay a shower curtain then pee pads? Is there enough room for him to walk? (with small bed?) I was looking at this Walmart.com: North State - Superyard XT Portable Playard and Gate: Gear If it is a rectangle, I have limited space. I could take and pad the sides for him. Any other ideas? |

| I bought a pac-n-play type baby playpen for my little guy and liked it so much I bought one for my father to use with his yorkie. I did NOT buy new! go on craigslist, you can usually get them for less than half price. I think I paid like $25 for mine, and it was worth 3 times that! its so perfect, and when my dad's dog is here, they both stay in it (if we are having a lot of company and we are afraid of them getting out of the house into the pool or something) I heartily reccomend these!

| Oh. I forgot to write that the tent "puppy play pen" has a vinyl floor and would be easy to clean in case of an accident. It has mesh all around and on opposite sides the mesh rolls up to make a "door". Last cool thing is you can zip up the mesh top so that if he was outside, bugs wouldn't be able to bite him. |

| Yes. Two puppies could absolutely fit beautifully in the large tent. I am uncertain about the other size. We have a large bed in there and if when we need to keep him in there, his litter pan fits and water and he still has room to walk. |

| I have the smaller size tent and all three of my yorkies can fit in there nicely when I use it to keep them confined. I only put them in it with a couple of toys and blankets and they love it.

| Nico, How big is the large? I couldn't find any specs on it. Probably not looking in the right place for it |

| I bought something similar, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. When I got it, I tried setting it up and it's not as easy as they advertised. If your looking for something you want to set up once and leave it, or bring it out and put it a way a few times then I think it would work. But if your looking for something that you can travel with and easily break down, I would look for something else. Quote:

| I use a pac-n-play for my 17 yr old yorkie to sleep in at night and she does fine with it. I also use the plastic octagon shape one like the one walmart has for my 15 month old when I am gone but I have to put down a waterproof pad and then her pee pads on top of that just in case. I really like the idea of the tent with the vinyl bottom and may have to invest in one of those. |
