Great for sports games, or for visits with family and friends
If you’re traveling with your small dog — whether it’s to a friend’s house, a weekend getaway, or just out in the backyard — having a lightweight, portable playpen is a total game changer.
We have been using this pop-up travel dog playpen with Frankie, and now it comes with us everywhere. Here’s why we love it:
✈️ Travel-Ready & Lightweight
This playpen folds down flat and pops open in seconds, making it perfect for tossing in the car or storing in a closet. It’s incredibly lightweight — easy to carry, even with one hand (which is helpful when the other’s holding a coffee or pushing a stroller).
🌬️ Mesh Windows for Ventilation
With breathable mesh panels on all sides, your pup stays cool and visible, whether you’re indoors or outside. Frankie loves being able to see us from all angles while still having a cozy space to himself.
🔒 Zippered Roof for Security
The zippered top is a feature we didn’t know we needed — until we used it. It keeps curious pups safely inside, and safe from prying hands (he’s a magnet to little kids). No jumping out, no unexpected escapes.
🧳 Where We Use It
- At family BBQs and sports games
- Inside hotel rooms or vacation rentals
- In the backyard as a chill spot
- During RV or road trips
- Even inside when we’re cleaning or cooking
It’s a clean, comfy, contained space for your dog to relax — and gives you peace of mind knowing they’re safe but still part of the action.
