MidWest Homes for Pets Dog Exercise Pen & Playpen, 24" W x 24" H, with Door, Black

This review is for the MidWest Homes for Pets, Dog Playpen, 8 panels 24"W x 30" H; with door, Black. I've now purchased 4 of these play pens for my beagle puppy and use them everywhere in the house and outside. They've been a game changer for us - our puppy is high energy and at the height of teething so we needed something to keep him safe when we couldn't provide undivided attention / supervision and where he could play on his own without us interfering. We use these as both pens and gates - since the pen can be shaped in multiple ways, we're able to use it like an inexpensive gate in hallways / access points, wrapped one around our kitchen table and chairs to protect against further chewing, and we carry 1 outside in the early morning so he can be outside with us after his walk while we enjoy our morning coffee. We have one permanently setup in our family room in front of the TV (he likes to watch TV and listen to music). These are so easy to setup, come with grass anchors (we don't use in the desert) and clips to provide strength and stability where the door panel attaches to rest of the pen. We would suggest MidWest provide a few extra clips to provide extra strength at the top of the pen (our puppy jumps up and puts his paws near the top which can make it a little unstable). Note, this pen will slide around on non-carpeted surfaces (no observed scratches on tile), especially if your pup leans against a panel or is putting pressure on a panel - like jumping (we found the best shape is an octagon for stability). With all this said, we have 4 of these - very worth the investment for us. At a current price of $28.94 - a tremendous value in comparison to other similar items on Amazon.

We do a lot of traveling in our RV and our dogs like to be outside with us whenever we sit to watch the sunset or the sunrise. We don’t like to keep them on the leash because they like to roam around and sniff things. We purchased three of these Wonderful pens and set them up so that they would have adequate room to run around and sniff the grass while getting their daily exercise. We recently went to Maryland for Easter and our dogs desperately wanted to go outside a lot more than we wanted to walk them. We set up the pen in a protected area and they absolutely loved it. The dogs were happy outside. They had plenty of room to run around. Since we have the miniature dachshunds we decided to get the 4 foot height. The quality of the pen and the material is very sturdy and very safe for our dogs to be in without worry of them pushing it over. Each pen comes with pins that you can push into the soil to make it even more sturdy into the ground. It was a very good price, very inexpensive so the value for the money was top of the line. We’re very happy and if you are one to go camping or you want to put your puppies outside to play in the grass and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, I highly recommend these pens. They’re safe easy to set up and they store almost into completely nothing. They fold up flat and fit in a small storage space. Here at home we have a pen set up for our dogs to run in while we sit on our patio and they enjoy it greatly.

I have a TON of these and love Midwest pens. I breed Border Collies and use all sizes. They wear well outside and will eventually rust OUTDOORS, but they are durable and so very useful. The entry with the wire at the bottom is a bit of a pain at times, but they are sturdy in that area because of the design. When used inside the home they will last for a very long time if cared for by not bending the entrance or other wire elements. Eventually the clips used to hold them together at the ends can fail with heavy use (the little spring inside the clip wears down), but they can be easily replaced with other options or similar clips from the hardware store. When these X Pens from Midwest are not available, which is the case at times, I default to the Amazon brand which is comparable with some small differences in the gate entry and the connection clips. Mine have all been delivered on time, each in a good sturdy package that protects the contents and the pen is of good quality and durable. Very easy to set up and take down.

This seems a bit flimsy to contain a dog (maybe a very small dog), but that's not why I bought it. I have a pet rabbit that I let out of his cage daily to run around in my spare bedroom, and I use this exercise pen to cordon off a section of the room where I don't want him and his sharp little teeth to wander. It works great for that! There's no assembly--the panels come pre-joined together and they fold up to store flat. There's no locking mechanism to join one end to the other.
