The Best Puppy Playpens

The Best Puppy Playpens

It only takes a moment for your puppy to make a mess. Raising a puppy is a 24/7 job, but it’s impossible to keep your eye on them every second of the day. A puppy playpen is simply an enclosed area that gives your puppy the freedom to play while confining them to a safe, contained space.

They come in all shapes and sizes, and some options work best for puppies of certain breeds, sizes, or ages. We have created a list of the best puppy playpens!

EliteField Two-Door Soft-Sided Playpen

If your puppy wants a change of scenery during playtime, this puppy playpen can go anywhere you go. It’s ultra-portable and lightweight and even comes with a convenient carry bag. Available in six sizes and colors, this pen is durably constructed from steel tubing and nylon and features a washable floor mat, two zippered mesh doorways, and stakes for stabilizing outdoors.

Frisco Dog Exercise Playpen

This eight-paneled exercise playpen comes in five different sizes, ranging from 24 to 48 inches high. Affordably priced and made from lightweight but sturdy metal wire, this puppy playpen is portable and easy to configure into different shapes and sizes. Metal anchors allow for outdoor use and can easily be linked with additional pens to create a larger space.

BestPet Extra Large Indoor/Outdoor Puppy Playpen

If you want something a little more durable than the basic wire playpen, this adjustable indoor/outdoor option features eight panels durably constructed from heavy-duty, rust-resistant metal for increased longevity. No tools are required for assembly and a sturdy, step-through door allows your puppy to enter and exit the pen without you having to take it apart.

MyPet Eight-Panel Plastic Dog Pen

A solid structure with a lockable pet door, this pen is rated for indoor and outdoor use. Multiple panels offer flexible configurations and can accommodate larger dogs. Durable plastic makes this a great lightweight option, but it may not stand up against heavy chewing as well as metal playpens.

Petmate Wire Exercise Playpen

If you’re looking for a puppy playpen that your large-breed puppy can grow into, this eight-panel exercise pen comes in five different sizes—including giant. As with some of the other wire options, the panels easily configure into different shapes—no tools required—with a solid hinge design that makes it easy to fold down for storage and travel.

S Afstar Large Puppy Playpen

A pricier option, this well-made pen provides plenty of space for multiple dogs and can accommodate larger breeds. It comes with 16 panels made from heavy-duty, rust-resistant metal and works well outdoors as well as indoors. This pen might be a good match for pet parents who need to corral a litter of puppies or cordon off sections of their home.

We hope this list of puppy playpens helps you decide which is the best fit for your pooch.
