Sleepypod Air Pet Carrier Robin Egg Blue

Even though one might say this product is expensive compared to other dog carriers, but the price is worth it. We bought it for our 10-12 lb dogs. It is very good quality and has passed car safety crash ratings (not many carriers have this and is one of the main reasons I purchased this one) and has clips to attach to the car’s seatbelt. It’s great for air travel: the shape is wider at the bottom, but is designed to fold at the bottom to make it rectangular and fit under the airplane seat. It’s easy to open and close. It has multiple pockets. It folds flat for storage. The only complaint is the way the mesh is designed, it is sometimes difficult to see the dog in the bag, but I think it is designed that way to prevent too much light getting in and you can open the bag to check. I definitely recommend this excellent bag!

La transportadora parece una maleta muy linda. Su diseño hizo que cargarlo fuera fácil. También facilitó mucho el poder manipularlo en los controles de seguridad, ya que no quería salir.Aunque supera las medidas que sugieren las aerolíneas (American Airlines), en ningún momento nos negaron el servicio. Es lo bastante baja de altura para caber debajo del asiento sin mucho esfuerzo, incluso en vuelos regionales pequeños (envoy air).La publicidad sugiere que se comprima, pero a pesar de ser tela es bastante rígida. Fue mucho más simple colocarla a lo ancho, entre mis pies, para que ambos pudieramos ir cómodos.La doble malla ayuda a oscurecer el interior, por lo que un gato nervioso como el mío tiene mucha privacidad. Tiene las medidad perfectas para que un felino de hasta 5 kilos se pueda mover y cambiar de postura constantemente.Acabado el viaje, mi gatito ha mostrado que se siente seguro en ella, es su nueva cama.

We have been a fan of this carrier for years. It is comfortable to carry, the cats love them. They are sturdy and a bonus is that they look great.Only down side is that they are not the easiest to clean. We have put them through the washer a couple of times (the big one at the laundry mat) when a cat had an accident, even though you are not supposed to and they survived just fine but I would not do so regularly.They work great on planes (used on the flight back from Germany with our 15# cat) and for trips to the vet. It is actually possible AND comfortable to carry and stack multiple carriers!!They are expensive so we have slowly relpaced our cheaper ones and now everyone has a sleepy pod so they can stop fighting over them. Heavier cats will fit in this carrier since they can turn around, but I would not make them travel for long in it (just to the vet in our case, the 19# cat gets a BIG hard sided carrier if he flys).

I boggled at the cost, but I saw why once I received it. Very well-made and sturdy. The interior is soft and washable. It attaches easily to my suitcase for traveling. Having anxious kitties who hate carriers, I was worried about how much they would fight to get into the carrier. But with the top opening, it will be much easier to get them in and out of the carrier. I am pleased with it!

Like probably many of you, I initially balked at the cost of this carrier. I'm used to the $40-$80 range of regular carriers. But after flying across country with two cats, I can tell you these are 100% worth it. My cats have always been somewhat anxious travelers and often once they step out of the house, they start meowing to go home. Inside these carriers, they were silent and comfy pretty much door to door from California to Massachusetts. An underrated feature is that the edges fold up so you can stuff the carriers under your seat for takeoff, but for most of the flight you can expand them back out so your pets have more room. It should also not be overlooked that they are rather stylish and we have continued to get comments on the carriers from stangers and our vets!All in all, it seems like these really make a difference in providing comfort and security to our cats and I think Sleepypod has made a customer for life :)

If I could give 0 stars I would.My small, usually very well behaved dog was Very scared, hot, and uncomfortable in this carrier and ripped the mesh with her teeth. As you can see from photo, ripping the mesh reveals sharp easily breakable plastic. We are lucky our dog didn’t sustain an intestinal injury. This is not a safe carrier. At all.And it is VERY hot, poorly ventilated.Because I had it longer than 30 days before our trip, the vendor, Wholesome Pet, will not refund my money even though the product is clearly unusable and in fact a hazard.Do not buy. And don’t buy from Wholesome Pet.

I still feel guilty spending $100+ on a cat carrier, but my word, this is like the end-all-be-all of premium cat carriers. My cat is a pretty big girl. 14lbs (13lbs on a good day) domestic shorthair. And she hates traveling. But it's all okay with this carrier!! It's roomy for her to turn around. The floor covering is plush and comfy. The whole inside can be rinsed/wiped down and the floor cover machine washed for those inevitable accidents. The bottom is the sturdiest I've seen of any soft sided carrier. My last one used to cave on her from her weight. Carrying straps are great quality. It has the usual touches of other air travel carriers like the luggage handle feature.I will mention that a check-in agent gave me flak, because you can't see the cat well through the mesh, reason being that the animal may not be receiving enough ventilation. The mesh is two layers that are not aligned with the purpose of decreasing visibility without compromising airflow. Stand your ground. Repeat yourself if you have to. The airlines will catch up lol.

This carrier is fantastic for our medium sized cat. Plush interior with plenty of venting to make her comfortable. It fit under the seat on the plane perfectly. Liked the zippered sleeve so the carrier could easily and securely slide onto the carrying handle of our wheeled suitcase.
