Mini Mobile Pet Bed, Strawberry Red

I am delighted to review the Sleepypod bed/carrier because I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who needs to travel with a small pet. I have two cats and we moved from Chicago to Charleston which was a three day drive. My cats are not great travelers...translation: they get terrified being forced into a carrier and leaving the house. I knew this was not going to be a pleasant ordeal. My cousin had used one for her cat driving from NY to LA and raved about it. I wanted to make this journey for them as comfortable and safe as I could. I will say the price was a bit shocking...especially when I have to buy two! But I read the reviews and watched the videos and it did seem worth the investment. And it was.It truly is brilliant design and quality construction and materials. They are gorgeous and extremely functional. I ordered the medium size round carrier with the domed mesh top that unzips from the round base...one in white and one in Chocolate. One cat is only 9 lbs so he had lots of room and while the other cat weighed 15lbs, there was room for her to comfortably curl up in there. The best part of these carriers is how they are meant to fit on a car seat and put seat belts thru a Velcro strap that straps the carrier very securely on the seat. really safe and secure and so easy to manipulate. Since my cats are not going to go into the carriers easily, the various zippers creating different access points is so helpful. You can unzip the top of the mesh dome, have someone hold it open, then slip your pet down into it as you or your partner zips it up to close. I'm sure with a dog it's a cinch...cats, not so much. Because they are scaredy cats, I sat in the middle of the two carriers in the back seat for awhile and unzipped part of the carrier at the side and put my hand in there so I could pet them in order to calm them a bit...another nice thing about the zippers and the mesh top. the cats could see me from all angles and I could see them too.The zip-out fuzzy liner feels so cozy, the cats love it. And I love it because it washed perfectly. One of the cats peed a little and I was able to wash it on the road and it came out perfectly and dried quickly. These are not just carriers but great beds as well. I kept the carriers out weeks before the trip, sans the mesh dome top, so they got used to seeing them and wouldn't associate them just with travel. Much to my delight, within a few days of checking them out, they began sleeping in them.I just can't rave enough about these beds/carriers and I love the colors I chose as well...a rich chocolate brown and the white is a nice clean looking white which somehow manages to stay clean and each looks great with the black interior and trim. And lastly, they are very sturdy, hardy and well constructed. Yea...what a find!

If your looking at my review you are probably wondering if buying this is worth it or now. I feel you, I was in the same boat. But hear me out, If you’re looking for a carrier then STOP looking now cause this carrier is worth every dollar. In fact, I feel this is the best purchase I have ever made. it is sturdy, comfy, spacious, cute, and safe. My cat loved it on day one (as you can you from this photo). I get very anxious about something happening to my baby. However, since I have gotten this I never worry about taking him in the car because I know he will be safe. Whenever I put him in his carrier, in the car, he immediately winds down and falls asleep. I have had to stop the car a few times to check up on him because I was worried something may have happened or I may have forgotten to put him in the carrier because of how quiet he is. I love how aside from being a carrier, it is a cat bed as well. I love it so much and my cat does too! Get it, you won’t regret it!! My cat is around 8-9 pounds. Although it looks a little tight in this picture, he still has PLENTY of space. He just likes to take up every bit of space anywhere he’s at. He is also able to sit up a little when inside the carrier!

I did a lot of research, hunting to find a very safe way to bring my dog out for rides in the car. It took me forever and it was really confusing at first. So many safety gear things being sold online and in stores say that they are very safe, have been tested, and so on. But they had not been? At least not crash tested.This company is serious about the safety of dogs, of our little furry friends that we love. They are a part of our family.This company actually tests their products in pseudo auto crash tests. I was shocked with how easily and terribly my little friend could be seriously, devastatingly hurt, gone. This POD is so well built. It does take a little practice to get the seatbelt attached around it. Practice makes pretty good so far. My dog likes being inside of it too. I am more focused on driving with her contained now.Its pricey but well made and truly has been tested and proven to save little lives. So far only a few other types of car safety gear for dogs have also gone thru these important tests done at a lab in the Univ. of Chicago.So beware of any other car riding gear you see for sale that says anything hinting at but not actually true, about having been proven to protect our little furry friends. Do your homework like I did to protect your dog while they are going to ride in car.Oh, I felt sod guilty and awful when I read up on how letting a dog sit in the front seat is the worst place for them, safety-wise.
