Our dogs are just about everything to us: family, best friends, and companions. And when we're going to a friend or family member's home (or any place, really) that's dog-friendly, the question isn't whether we're going to bring our furry friend along with us, but how. Leashes are always an option, but if you have a little more room and want your favourite furry friend to be able to roam — or at least relax — more freely, a dog playpen is a great option. They're usually portable, collapsible, and come in a variety of options, so you can select the one that's perfect for your pooch. We've rounded up some of our favourites ahead.
