Review: Carlson Pet Products Deluxe Pet Pen

Sponsored by: Carlson Pet Products

Rewind to exactly one year ago. I was on the hunt for a quality playpen for my Chihuahua, Diego, and toy Poodle, Gigi. I needed a collapsible pen that would easily fit in my car for afternoon trips to the park. And I also wanted the freedom to use it indoors. That’s when I stumbled across Carlson Pet Products. After using their 6-panel pet pen for an entire year, I’m beyond excited to be teaming up with the company to introduce their deluxe version!

*Plus, we’re giving away a 6-Panel Deluxe Pet Pen to one lucky winner! Keep reading to find out how you can enter for a chance to win.

A Look At Carlson Pet Products’ Deluxe Pet Pen

My Favorite Features

Easy Setup & Takedown – This packable and portable pet pen is a cinch to set up. Seriously, it takes about two seconds. Just get a good grip on the side panels, spread your arms to pop it open, and step on the footbar to secure!

Strong and Sturdy – The Carlson Pet Products Pet Pen is made with a durable metal framing that keeps each panel standing tall!

Quality Mesh Walls – So I know what you’re thinking: “The second I put my dog inside this pet pen, he’ll put his paws on the mesh walls and rip them right open.” Well, I’m happy to report that my pups’ little daggers haven’t even ripped one stitch! The mesh is high quality. Plus, I love the visibility and breathability it provides.

Water-Resistant Mesh Flooring – Not only are the walls made of mesh but so is the flooring. The best part? It’s water-resistant, so your pup’s playtime won’t be ruined by dewy grass!

Doggy Door – In one of the panels, there’s a little doggy door that you can keep open or zip shut. When I’m at the park or lake, I keep my doggy door closed. But, I love having the option.

Full Coverage Canopy – Say bye bye to the bugs and harmful UV rays. If you’re using the pet pen outside, simply attach the canopy to protect your pooch from mosquitos (and other flying bugs) and the strong sun (did you know dogs can get sunburn too?).

Zip-Open Canopy Door – So you attached the canopy and now you need to pull your dog out for a quick potty break. Here’s the good news: Rather than having to remove the canopy, just use the convenient zipper door!

Comes In Two Sizes

I personally have the 6-panel pet pen and find there’s plenty of room for my two small dogs to move around and play. I usually fill it up with blankets and toys. But, if you need more room then you’ll be happy to hear they also have an 8-panel option!

  • 6-Panel Dimensions: 48” W x 26” H
  • 8-Panel Dimensions: 62” W x 26” H

 

How I Use My Pet Pen

Outdoors

Sometimes when I’m at the park, lake, or beach, I just want to relax vs holding doggy leashes. So, when I want to kick back, I pop open the pet pen and let my dogs play inside. Of course, I keep the pen right next to me so they’re always supervised. But I feel comfortable knowing they’re safe inside!

Indoors

If you’re a regular reader here at Proud Dog Mom then you probably know I’m really close with my mom. In fact, she’s my business partner and helps me run this blog. Anyway, she comes to my house a few times a week and usually brings her dog, Pippa. May I say, Pippa is the biggest love bug, but a huge TROUBLEMAKER! So, if Pippa is over and we can’t keep an eye on her then into the pet pen she goes. Honestly, she loves it in there!

Also …

Pet pens are wonderful for new puppy parents who are trying to train their dogs. When potty training your young puppy, it’s important to remember that he doesn’t have full control over his bladder just yet. Also, he doesn’t know how to communicate his urge to urinate. So, it will be up to you to be on the lookout for clues that he needs to go outside. If you can’t watch him then you can confine him in a crate or pet pen until you can.

Can Dogs Have Breath Mints?

Image
Bad breath can lead to embarrassing situations and breath mints are used to prevent this from happening. The problem of bad breath is extremely common among dogs but can they have breath mints? The answer to this question is a YES only if the mints have been made specifically for dogs. You can find a lot of dog breath mints in the market. Generally, artificial forms of mint use Xylitol (an artificial sweetener) that is toxic for dogs. Due to this reason, it is highly recommended to avoid all kinds of mint products that may contain this ingredient. Basically, it causes a sudden release of insulin in the body that leads to hypoglycemia. According to VCA Hospitals , even the smallest quantities of Xylitol can cause seizures, liver failure, or even death. Help! My Dog Ate a Mint If your dog has eaten a mint leaf, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if he/she has ingested a breath mint with Xylitol in it, you need to move quickly. Despite the fact that xyl...

Can Cats Drink Tea And Other Caffeinated Beverages?

Image
Watching your sneaky cat inch towards your morning brew, you’ve probably wondered if cats can drink tea, coffee, or other morning musts with caffeine. The answer is complicated when it comes to sharing tea with cats, but one thing’s for sure: coffee and felines should never mix. Chock full of caffeine and other stimulants, cats should never drink coffee as caffeine is toxic to cats . This includes decaffeinated coffee since the beans also contain theobromine , another stimulant that can sicken felines. In protecting your cat from caffeine, don’t let her drink caffeinated sodas or energy drinks either. Also look out for guarana, mate, and cacao when checking food labels. All three are natural sources of caffeine. Also, according to the Pet Poison Helpline, caffeine may go by the alternate names   methylxanthine and xanthine . Did you know you can also find caffeine in diet supplements, weight loss products, and over-the-counter medications? If your cat manages to steal a sip ...

7 Fall Hazards All Pet Parents Should Be Aware Of

Image
Fall — i t’s here and beautiful as ever. The foliage is starting to change, the air is getting crisper, days are becoming shorter, and the festive feelings of Halloween and Thanksgiving are in the air. But, along with the beauty of the season come some potential fall hazards that all pet parents should be aware of.  1. Rodenticides As the days are getting shorter and cooler, mother nature’s little outdoor critters will begin looking for some temporary fall and winter housing to call home. Mice and rats are notorious for trying to get inside garages, basements, attics, and sheds as they search for a cozy place to call home. To avoid unwanted little tenants, many households put out rodent poisons. If you use these poisons anywhere in your home, make sure to keep them hidden and far out of the reach of your canine kids. These chemical formulas are toxic and potentially deadly for your pooch. 2. Mushroom Poisoning Mushrooms have a habit of popping up around this time of the year...
