Is this playpen suitable for toy breed puppies?

The bar spacing is 2.1 inches wide, so very small puppies could squeeze through. It is best for small dogs that are at least a few months old.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, it includes eight ground stakes to anchor it on grass or dirt. The steel is not rust-proof, so bring it inside in wet weather.

How many dogs can fit inside?

The square setup is 63 by 63 inches, which suits one or two small dogs. It is not designed for large breeds or heavy chewers.

Does it have a floor?

No, the pen is an open frame with no floor. It sits directly on the ground, so it is best used on a flat surface.

Can I connect it to another playpen?

The panels are not designed to link with other pens. You can reshape the eight panels into different layouts but cannot add more.

Our take on the 8-Panel Metal Pet Playpen

The PawHut 8-Panel Metal Pet Playpen is a modular steel enclosure for small dogs. Its eight panels can form a square or rectangle, and a locking door gives pets a way in and out. It suits owners who want a flexible indoor/outdoor pen for a puppy or small breed. Compared with plastic pens, it is sturdier but heavier, and the 2.1-inch bar spacing is too wide for toy breeds.

What reviewers say

Owners find the pen sturdy and easy to set up, and like the flexible panel layout. Some note the bar spacing is too wide for tiny puppies, and a few wish the door were larger.
