Violet Sleepypod

In January, our family of three cats grew to four. The health, happiness and safety of our cats are our number-one priority, so there wasn't a question when it came to buying our newest addition a carrier. I stumbled upon Sleepypod, and their products back in 2012 when I was doing extensive research trying to find the best carrier for our cats. We were relocating from Washington State to Arizona, and at the time we only had two of our cats, Ices and Nephthys. We wanted them to be as comfortable and possible and after comparing carriers from every site you can imagine, nothing could beat Sleepypod once I found their product. Our cats were as happy as they could be during our travels, here are some of the pros and reasons why we love Sleepypod:
- The quality is evident as soon as you open the box - they are durable and extremely well-made.
- They have a soft plush lining inside the carrier, and I love the fact that they sell separate liners to fit your pets needs. For example, during our trip from WA to AZ, we purchased the air-mesh liner to make sure our babies were as cool as possible. And in case your pet has an accident in the carrier, the inserts are incredibly easy to wash.
- There is plenty of room, our cats range in weight from 9 to 11 pounds and when they lie inside the Sleepypod, they are comfortable, and not cramped. Another thing I love is the dome-shaped lid, during car trips, they can sit their head up and watch outside if they choose to.
- Safety, Safety, Safety - this carrier is designed with your babies safety in mind and it is made to be buckled into a vehicle. Your pet is buckled in and that carrier isn't going to move! Sleepypod’s entire line of Pet Travel Carriers have successfully passed the Center for Pet Safety Certification Testing. They provide videos demonstrating their testing and this can be found here
- They make a great cat bed. Sleepypod's are so comfortable and loved by our cats, if we leave them out they go inside and sleep in them.
- Versatility - there are two ways to insert your pet into the Sleepypod. You can either unzip the top of the dome and place your pet inside, or you can completely unzip the dome off the carrier, place your pet inside the Sleepypod, and simply zip the dome back on when your pet is already inside.
- Cats love them - When we went to pick up our third cat, Osiris, we brought one of our Sleepypod's to pick him up. My husband went inside, placed the Sleepypod on the table and unzipped it. Out of nowhere Osiris came running and JUMPED inside the Sleepypod all ready to go to his new home!
When we got Anubis, I knew we would buy him his own Sleepypod. I went to their website and was trying to choose a color when I noticed they were going to be releasing a violet Sleepypod. I pre-ordered it a few months ago, and we just received it in the mail. The color is beautiful and vibrant, and it was well worth the wait. Now, we have four Sleepypod's and the two we bought in 2012 still look brand new. Our cats have had accidents in their Sleepypod's, and they are easily cleaned and durable; I would never buy another carrier. Every time our kitties go to the vet they rave about our carriers and ask what kind they are, we recommend them to everyone we know who has a cat and those who have bought them, love them too. I am really excited to see that they now offer custom pendants on their website that you can engrave with your pets' name, this is definitely on my to-buy list so each of my babies can have their name on their Sleepypod.
* All of my Sleepypod's were purchased on my own and I am not affiliated with their company, I am a happy customer giving an honest review.
