Sleepypod Medium Mobile Pet Bed, Arctic White

The media could not be loaded.  Step 1: Buy this for small pets. Step 2: Enjoy their love of it.This product is great and I am not sure why more carriers do not come in this form factor. My guess is because this is a premium carrier and it absolutely shows on every inch of the product. I have never had a pet love their carrier in such a way, especially since my kitten’s first introduction to his new home was via this carrier. An especially scary situation for them.Now the nitty details the make or break a product and are usually neglected in reviews but cannot be in a product of this price.1. All stitching is superb. It is neat and strong and looks ready to last a lifetime.2. The zippers run smooth. They can snag, but this is not due to the zipper, but the furry material lining it. Very easily remedied by making sure a finger is over the zipper when using it, which is how most people naturally would in this situation.3. This should more than handle my cat at full adult size when it reaches adulthood (roughly 12lbs +\- 1lbs.4. The fabric is soft and feels great. It easily comes in and out for washing.What I cannot say due to lack of long term use. The interior lining seems wells made and I will give it the benefit of the doubt, but many fabrics of this style have also felt premium and yet were not. I fully believe they would not skimp here, but I cannot say for sure without long term use.To sum up: yes this is an expensive carrier, but it is one that likely will be used daily by your pet and last their lifetime and potentially several pets lifetimes. It also helps that it securely attaches to the seat in the car. My first Vet visit had every employee say it was one of the nicest and most functional carrier they have ever seen.

I really like this cat carrier and cat bed. It is extremely well made, sturdy and beautiful. Unfortunately, after leaving this open for 5 days, my cat finally walked into the round bottom part, didn't even sit down and walked out. This happened several times. So I decided she doesn't like it and have to return it. I stress there is nothing wrong with this.

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.

It took awhile, but my cat and I both now love this bed. I agonized over this purchase for months because of the price and because my cat is so picky that I was worried he would hate it. I had been using a plastic carrier that was way too big for my 8 pound cat and which I inevitably into doorways when I carried him. I read a great review of the sleepypod in a magazine and finally gave in. When I got it, I unzipped the top and let the cat sniff around and see it for a few days. He didn't like the smell at first and wouldn't use it as a pet bed. He also hated the faux fur lining, putting one foot on it and then running away. So I unzipped that and haven't used it. He never laid down in it over the course of 2 weeks and I started to think it was a huge mistake until I had to leave town so I decided he was going to learn to love the thing.I dropped him in and zipped it up and he was surprisingly calm. There was no fighting or howling or trying to get out like with the plastic carrier. And it's definitely easier to drop him in through the top than shove him through a door like on other carriers. When I took the carrier to the car and buckled it in is when I realized the true value of the sleepypod. The lap belt wraps around and velcros into the carrier and the shoulder strap velcros in to the top handle of the carrier. I felt so much better driving 2 hours knowing how safely secured he was--it actually made me embarrassed that he used to slide around in the plastic carrier unsecured. He was so much calmer and seemed so much more comfortable than he was in the old plastic carrier. He wasn't able to stand up in the sleepypod and he's a very small cat, but I don't know that he really needs to stand while riding in the car, so that's ok. He seemed pretty snug and I'm not sure how much room there would be for a larger cat or dog--I would recommend carefully measuring out the dimensions and comparing the size to something you already have, like a pet bed, before deciding on this is your animal is bigger.I had hoped that he would use it as a bed and safe spot while we were out of town, but he didn't. One of the small things I wasn't thrilled about was that I thought this was something that could be left open for the cat to jump in and out of in the house, even with the top on, since cats like to hide and feel safe when they think you can't see them. However, it's not designed to be able to do that. The top is too stiff to stay open, to the point where it's even a little hard to get it to stay open long enough to get the cat inside. I solved this problem by using large office binder clips to keep each side open. Once I got back in town, I unzipped the top and left the bed and the top, turned upside down so it's like a little bowl, out in the den for him to continue to get used to. He immediately jumped into the top-turned-into-a-bowl, curled up and went right to sleep. So, now he loves the thing and sleeps in it every day, but only the top. Overall, I'm glad I made this purchase--the only reason I took one star off is because of the high price.

かなりでかいので、普通猫一匹を運ぶのにはでかすぎて恥ずかしいかも…

可愛いピンクで、一目で気に入りました。中が広くて、車での移動も安全だと思いました。でも、肝心の猫が嫌がってなかなか入ってくれません。

犬も気に入っているようです。ゴールデンウィークは一緒に旅が出来そうです。

形状もしっかりしていてGoodですが、少し重いのでワンちゃんを入れたら重いのが…

ワンコを入れる上部の開け口が狭いし、硬くて、出し入れしづらくイマイチ買って後悔、もう使いたくないけど、高かったので使うしかないかと落胆しているお出かけが嫌にならなきゃ良いけど…
