This 8 panel metal dog playpen comes with a waterproof fertility pad built in for that exact purpose, then adapts into a general exercise pen, training fence, or garden barrier once your dog grows. Each panel folds flat and connects without tools, so the shape and size are up to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Pen, Several Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from metal iron with smooth edges, this playpen is designed to resist damage and biting while staying secure enough for whelping, training, or everyday containment. The included waterproof fertility pad helps absorb leaks and keep newborn puppies warm and clean, while also protecting your floor underneath. For extra warmth during the first weeks, layer a soft cover from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pawtons.com\/collections\/dog-blankets\"\u003edog blankets collection\u003c\/a\u003e over the pad. Once puppies grow, the same panels work as a general exercise or training fence, or even as a garden barrier for plants, thanks to the decorative top detailing. A gate with a safety latch keeps the enclosure secure while still allowing easy entry for you and your pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof fertility pad included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbs leaks and keeps whelping puppies warm, clean, and comfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 panels, DIY configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrange into octagon, square, or L-shaped layouts to fit your space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.6 inch (15 mm) wire gap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tight enough to prevent small pets from escaping or getting a foot stuck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround prongs on each panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insert into soil for a stable, secure outdoor setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-free folding design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sets up and folds flat for storage or transport without tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Fits Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndoors, this pen creates a contained, safe space for whelping or for a puppy still working on house training.
