01
Is a pen the right space?
For prescribed strict rest, ask the treating team whether this enclosure provides the required restriction; a larger area may allow too much movement.
Aubenord recommendation
MidWest Contour Exercise Pen
A defined space for the next stage of recovery.
When your vet allows more room, a pen can keep that space separate from sofas, stairs and the rest of the house. MidWest Contour’s connected panels create a gated area you can arrange around your room and fold away for storage.

A contained space at home
Create a contained space when more movement is allowed.
The folding MidWest Contour pen lets you arrange a gated area around your available floor space. Choose the panel height and footprint around your dog’s care plan. Check the door threshold too, especially if stepping over an edge is difficult.

WHAT TO CHECK FIRST
Choose the space around your dog’s routine
02
Will the layout fit?
Measure the assembled footprint in your chosen configuration, including clearance for the door.
03
Can your dog push or climb it?
Consider your dog’s size and behaviour, the stability of the panels and the floor underneath.
04
How will you get your dog in?
Check the door threshold and plan any assisted transfer rather than expecting your dog to step over it.
FIT, USE & SAFETY
Set up the floor, connections and entrance
Start with a level, non-slip surface. Keep the doorway clear and check every connection and latch before use. Follow MidWest’s setup instructions, including removing collars, tags and leads before leaving a pet in the pen to avoid entanglement.
THE QUICK DECISION
Is it right for your setup?
Why we like it
The folding layout makes it easier to adapt a temporary dog area to the room and pack it away afterwards.
What to know
The footprint depends on the panel arrangement. Check the exact retailer size rather than treating a pictured layout as a fixed measurement.
Who it may suit
Households whose dog can use a contained area with more room than a crate, within their agreed care plan.
AUBENORD VERDICT
A flexible home pen when your dog’s care plan allows a larger contained space.
