Whether you’re heading to the park, camping for the weekend, visiting friends, or simply relaxing in the garden, many dog owners face the same challenge: how do you give your dog a safe, familiar place to settle without carrying a bulky crate?
PETY aims to solve that problem with a portable dog playpen that pops open in seconds and folds back into a compact carry bag just as quickly. Designed in Switzerland, the lightweight enclosure is intended to provide dogs with a comfortable retreat at home or while travelling, without requiring tools or complicated assembly.
A pop-up dog playpen that sets up in seconds
Unlike traditional metal playpens or travel crates that require multiple panels or assembly, the PETY playpen uses a self-supporting pop-up frame.
To set it up, users simply remove it from its carrying bag, release the retaining strap, extend the frame, and lock it into place. The entire process takes only a few seconds and requires no tools or loose parts. When it’s time to pack up, the process is reversed just as quickly.
The design is aimed at dog owners who frequently travel or attend outdoor events and want a portable enclosure that can be deployed almost instantly.
Built for home and travel
PETY is designed to work in a variety of everyday situations.
According to the company, the playpen is suitable for:
- Home use
- Gardens and patios
- Camping trips
- Holidays and road trips
- Visits to friends and family
- Dog shows and sporting events
- Puppies during training
- Multi-dog households that occasionally need temporary separation
Because it folds into a compact transport bag, it’s easier to carry than many rigid kennels while still providing a defined space where dogs can rest.
Breathable, comfortable and secure
The playpen features mesh walls on all sides, giving dogs plenty of ventilation while allowing owners to keep an eye on them from every angle.
Other standard features include:
- Self-supporting pop-up construction
- Washable, removable floor
- Ground pegs for securing the playpen outdoors
- Compact carrying bag for transport
- Fold-flat storage when not in use
The company also offers optional accessories that allow owners to tailor the setup for different weather conditions or comfort levels.
These include rain and sun covers, insulated Silver Covers designed to reflect heat, self-inflating mats, and removable mat covers in different finishes.
Available in two sizes
PETY is offered in two versions to suit different breeds.

The larger version provides significantly more room for medium and large breeds, while the smaller model is intended for smaller dogs and puppies.
Designed in Switzerland
PETY was developed by Swiss startup Inveno with a focus on making everyday life easier for dog owners.
Rather than replacing a permanent crate, the company positions PETY as a flexible, portable retreat that can be taken almost anywhere, giving dogs a familiar space wherever they are.
