Sleepypod Air - Airline Approved Carrier for Cats and Dogs (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!

Excellent carrier. Very sturdy. Lots of room. Folds perfectly under an airline seat while still allowing plenty of room for my cat - used it in a 4+ hour flight. Easy entrance. Useful side pockets for paperwork etc. Great turquoise colour too. Bought this on a recommendation from someone on YouTube - well worth the money - best I've ever used for traveling.

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.

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 :)

This product is stylish and easy to use but there is no air flow. I was genuinely concerned for the health and well-being of my dog during a recent 1hr flight.

The media could not be loaded. Great size. Excellent quality materials. Nice and soft inside. Folds down super compact. Good features. Airline compliant and Not heavy.

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!

My little yorkie has plenty of room inside and he handled flying quite well. I also use it in the truck I drive, after I turn off the airbag. It folds flat for storage and my only fuss would be that I can't make it more private. Easy to keep clean, easy to store, easy to use and it's even cute!
