This metal playpen comes with a bottom mat included, offering a complete setup in one package. The pen itself folds flat, and the mat adds a layer of floor coverage and comfort. i. Foldable Metal Frame: The pen is made of black‑coated metal bars hinged at the corners, so it can be collapsed for storage or travel. The coating resists everyday scuffs and is smooth to the touch. The pen stands solidly once unfolded and can be configured as an octagon, square, or rectangle depending on the model, giving you flexibility in how you use the available floor space.
ii. Bottom Mat: A waterproof mat is provided to sit inside the pen. It is sized to match the pen’s footprint, protecting your floor from spills, water bowl drips, and minor toilet accidents. The mat surface is soft enough for a dog or puppy to lie on, and it has a non‑slip underside that helps it stay flat even when your pet moves around. The mat can be removed for washing; it is machine washable on a gentle, cold cycle and should be air dried to keep its waterproof layer intact.
iii. Door Access: One panel includes a door, so you can step in or let your pet out without lifting them over the side. The latch is uncomplicated, allowing quick entry while staying closed against a nudge from inside. With the mat in place, the door swings clear of the fabric, so there is no catching.
iv. Floor Protection and Comfort: The combination of metal pen and mat gives you a self‑contained area that is kind to floors. The mat absorbs the slight weight of the metal base, reducing any risk of marks on timber or tile. For pets, the mat provides a warmer, softer surface than a bare floor, which can be appreciated during rest periods.
v. Suitability: The pen and mat are suited to puppies, small to medium dogs, and other pets of similar size. It is not meant for dogs that persistently chew on metal or fabric. If your pet begins to pick at the mat, remove the mat and provide a more robust floor covering, or consider using the pen without the mat for short periods.
vi. Maintenance: Wipe the metal bars with a damp cloth as needed; dry them to avoid water spots. The mat can be vacuumed with a handheld attachment for quick fur removal between washes. When washing the mat, use a mild detergent and skip fabric softener. Stains on the mat can be pre‑treated by dabbing with a diluted soap solution before machine washing. Always let the mat dry completely before placing it back in the pen.
