Sleepypod Air for Comfortable Pet Travel

Most of us have probably gotten on a plane with our fingers crossed that our carry-on baggage is an “okay” size. I know I have. Well, no one wants to play that guessing game when it comes to their pet.

Sleepypod Air is specifically designed for air travel. They have done their homework and developed a patented design that compresses and expands to make everyone happy.

Your pet will have the most room possible whenever space allows. If the space under the seat is a little smaller the Air will compress to fit. It’s truly a genius design!

Inside of the Sleepypod Air you will find a luxurious plush covering over a comfy foam bed. The cover is machine washable and everything else can be easily washed with a damp wash cloth.

Although this carrier is perfect for planes, it’s also great for trips anywhere. It has straps that can be secured by a car seat belt for driving trips. It’s also extremely modern and stylish to just walk around with!

I have never traveled with a pet by air and have no immediate plans to do so, but I was happy to receive a Sleepypod Air for The Grump.

Since he’s like my baby (seriously, it’s like he crawled out of my womb), I do not want to leave him… ever.

If by chance we do fly somewhere and he’s able to come, in his carrier he will go!

The Grump exploring his Sleepypod Air carrier.

He was moving so fast it was hard to get good pictures!

For now, The Grump just likes to hang out in it. As soon as it arrived he was interested in it. Right away he was sniffing it out and very curious.

We just left it out for him to explore and get used to. After about ten minutes I was able to zip him up in it without any panic.

He was perfectly comfortable and content to be in it. At this point he felt that it was his idea to be in there, so that worked out well!

I will also be using the Sleepypod Air quite often for car rides. If Mike and I both are in the car, Grump is fine on someone’s lap. But, if I am alone with him he can be kind of a spaz.

To avoid being a distracted (and dangerous) driver, he would be better off in the back seat contained in the Sleepypod.

Not too mention for his own safety… check out this video of unrestrained crash-test doggies! 🙁

  17. Mary Baker says:

    Because it is so much safer than the cheap plastic carriers from Walmart”s! I have a little Yorkie that needs to be confined when travelling and this would be great, plus when home she loves her little beds scattered around the house.

  18. Ashley Pomykala says:

    This would be so worth it if we move to Alaska! We are so worried about the two cats. I am not sure how to travel that long with them.

    Great items! I would love to win because I am short one cat carrier. I have two for my two old boy kitties but I rescued a kitten from under my porch this past Winter. She managed to make my two other cats sick, requiring a trip to the vet for each. I was only able to take two at a time because I was short one carrier. This would ensure all three could make the trip at once.

  25. I would love to win this for my cats so that maybe I’d feel less guilty when he’s so upset in his carrier.

  26. Tammy Greer says:

    I will be moving back east soon and I’m going to need this for my cat.

    I’d like to win ’cause this is just so cool! I never knew such things existed 😀

  42. Kristen m says:

  43. elven johnson says:

  50. Suzanne B. says:

    I would feel very comfortable with my little Millie in a Sweepypod. It would take away a lot of worries.

  51. I want the sleepy pod because its safe, convenient, comfortable, and I can bring my cats with me when I visit my parents. One of my kittens is a bit claustrophobic in small carriers and this gives him room to relax and not feel so cornered. I only want the best for my kittens and this, from what I can see, is it!

  52. Leslie Galloway says:

    I want to win because we travel quite a bit (to see the grandparents), and we have two new chihuahuas. You know how nervous they get just in everyday life! Travel is not their favorite, and I think this would really help.

    Thank you!

  59. I would love to win because my calico, Callie, absolutely hates her crate when she has to travel and has never had a soft bag like this one before so I think she would like this one better. Plus, it’s great for the airlines, in the car, and it can even fit onto your luggage for easy transport in the airport!

    I want to win because my cat hates traveling but this might allow her more comfort and she might not be so scared

  61. I want to win because the Sleepypod looks much easier to carry around than the hard plastic carrier we have, and it looks super comfy for the kitty too. I also like that it’s versatile and can be used as a bed, for car travel, or air travel.

    Thanks for the contest.

  82. Sherrie C. says:

    I would love to win because it looks plush and comfy but the main Sleepypod Air feature that won me over are the straps that allow pet owners to safely seat belt their fur babies inside their vehicles. Insuring the safety of my pet is really important to me since I do most of my traveling by car.

  83. Jaime Nicole says:

    I’d like to win this so my dog can be safer in the car.

  84. I need a new carrier, lol, i also like that if fits under the plan.

  85. Lucy Schwartz says:

    I also do not anticipate flying but we do travel y car and would use this for our kitty when we trevel. And yes kitty loves to travel. Go figure.

  86. Joanne Gregory says:

    We travel with our pets very often. This would be a great help.

  87. I want to take my dog on a plane ride cross-country this year. I haven’t bought a carrier yet, but the size restrictions are a puzzle for me. I think being told the pet can’t fly in the cabin, is pretty much any pet owner’s nightmare while traveling. There’s no way I would ever let my baby fly cargo. I like that they also sell a disposable pad for long trips, to go in the carrier.

  88. looks way better than the plastic one we use now

She especially likes that it has both a retractable opening so she can stick her head out to keep an eye on things, and has space for a heating pad on those cold flights. Also, her nickname is “Sleepy Foof” because she’s so fuzzy, and a Sleepypod for a Sleepy Foof seems just perfect!
