Can the dog chew its way out of the playpen or get out?

We purchased 2 of these when our dog had a litter of 10 puppies. With 10 rambunctious pups, no one was able to chew or claw their way out. These were perfect! Great purchase!

YES. That's why I said. a non-aggressive dog. The material is tough but the 'net' doors & panels would be easy for a dog to get it's teeth through.

No it is made of very good material and the doors zipper close. The mesh on the window area is also made of sturdy material.

I used it for my cat. I think for most dogs/puppies it should be fine but a very determined dog that has a bad problem with chewing would probably find a way out. It is made out of a canvas material with zippers. All of the dogs I have owned I believe it would've worked for though. I really like this product and it has served my needs.

Only if you have the panel in to close it, then your pet can't in or out either. I have heard on a rare occasion of other animals i.e. a raccoon using it.

I have to say "no." This playpen is designed for small breed puppies/dogs. There is plenty of room for a small breed puppy/dog but a larger puppy/dog would have a hard time fitting through the door. A large puppy/dog would destroy this playpen in no time flat. A large puppy/dog would probably flip this over; and the mesh top would not keep the dog in the playpen. I have a small Yorkie and this playpen is just perfect for her (with plenty of room to sleep and play).

Not all Chihuahua's are jumpers but they are all climbers so it depends on the dog. My 2.5 lb Chihuahua will come out of it in less than 2 minutes once her feet hits the floor inside. Keep in mind this is a play pen "not" a confinement pen/cage. If you need confinement and security invest in a large cage.

It depends on how old the puppy is and the puppy will need close supervision from choking. I have older dogs and they have no problem chewing them.

I think a puppy would figure out a way to chew through the mesh. Having three dogs at home, I can say our trainer told us not to consider giving a "chewing pup" a bed until they were 2 years old. ( we were told that after going through countless beds! Lol ). We just used old or inexpensive blankets or towels for their beds.

Yes, as long as he isn't the type of dog who tries to get out. It is not that sturdy and a persistent dog who wants out will get out.

If you pull up both sides of the playpen it should lock. Also there is a message about that issue on the bottom of the pen.

Debski, the top zips on , so when it is all zipped up, it is secure. Our dogs are puppies now, so of course the chew everything. Not a fault of the playpen, BUT, they have chewed up and destroyed one of the door zippers. I managed to zip it shut and leave it that way, using only the one side now. They are getting over the chewing problem, but beware, as good as this little playpen is, the zipper will not long withstand puppy teeth. For some reason, they like the teeth in the zipper... otherwise it is a great little play pen.

This will work as a play area. Get the mat that fits on top or bottom to protect the lil guy from the Great Escape. Our rabbit jumped right out and took off. The Play Pen is easy for the animals to move, also.

If it chews and scratches I would say no. My little yorkie has torn the bottom out of ours.

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.

Yes, if you put the roof on. Otherwise they would jump out. But it zips on so they wouldn't be able to get out. They might be able to figure out how to crawl through the bottom between the velcro fasteners though. I've never had a puppy escape that way though, and I would imagine they would be able to do that too.

No, they won't be able to get out. I have 3 doxies in it constantly jumping at the cage and it stands up very well.

I bought the small and on the dog kennel it just didn't stay put. Maybe with a different cage type it would work well. As far as chewing I can't imagine they could destroy it.

If fitted per their instruction I don believe your dog can escape. My Houdini has never gotten out of his. Hope this helps

Not sure. I think so. But, the front mesh zips closed so the dog can't get out . It's pretty thick and durable mesh.
