Us pups love to go for car rides. I love lookin’ out the window and seein’ new sights and sniffin’ new smells. There’s all kinds of new and excitin’ things out there WOOF! My little sister, Little Bit, is a mix of stress, anxiety, and excitement all in one. She shakes on a good day, my Lady says it is a Chihuahua thing, but when she gets nervous she really shakes! But, that ain’t the worse part. She zips and zaps all over the car! My Lady has tried hooking her to the seat belt like us big dogs, but she screams bloody murder. Thankfully, my Lady got her a Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed the other day. She is right as rain ridin’ in there!
I’m guessin’ I would be comfortable too if’n I could bring my bed in the car. But, my Lady says it’s to big to haul around plus I stay in my seat belt and don’t dart all over the car like a pesky fly WOOF! Lemme fetch my Lady to tell ya ’bout this fun Sleepypod Little Bit likes so much!
Here’s what my Lady says about the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed
I am lucky in that all of my dogs love to ride the car. While my big dogs are happy to have their harness attached to the seat belts and behave nicely, my Little Bit is a handful to say the least! She loves to go, but anxiety and excitement makes it seem like she has consumed too much coffee. She is a Chihuahua and in true Chihuahua form she shivers and shakes. I cannot keep her in a harness and the seat belt and therefore, she ends up running all over the car.
Our last vet trip ended up with her jumping down by my feet, causing me to have to pull over and get her up before she caused a wreck. I had heard of the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed and was anxious to see if it would work so we were going to give it a whirl.
About SleepyPod
Sleepypod is three products in one: it’s an everyday pet bed, a stylish carrier, and a safe car seat! While many cats and dogs associate travel with negative experiences such as a trip to the vet or kennel, Sleepypod reduces stress by allowing a pet to travel safely in the comfort and familiarity of his or her own bed.
I love all the features of the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed! Actually, the whole concept made sense to me! Little Bit loves her Sleepypod as a bed at home and it makes perfect sense that it would help keep her calm her when traveling. Not only would she be less anxious, I could feel good that she would be safe and secure by using it as a car seat. Actually, after her last escapade, I believe we will all be more safe and secure!
Let me show you the features and how easy it is to use as a pet bed, a stylish pet carrier, and a car seat.
Sleepypod is Perfect as a Pet Bed!
As a pet bed, Sleepypod is perfect. The interior is SUPER SOFT and cushy. It is also great for over-night trips or traveling for a bed away from home.
You have to admit, there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed and I believe Little Bit agrees!
The Sleepypod is Easy to Clean
- Wipe exterior with damp cloth
- Vacuum pet fur from Ultra Plush bedding
- Separate Ultra Plush from foam padding, machine wash Ultra Plush in cold, gentle cycle then line dry
- Foam bedding is wrapped in a water repellent cover that can be cleaned with a damp cloth
It also includes a D-ring in the bottom of the bed for attaching a leash. This keeps your pet unexpectedly jumping out when you open the top. It’s a great safety feature when traveling!
Sleepypod is a Stylish Pet Carrier!
When ready to leave home for a trip to the vet or traveling, Sleepypod becomes a mobile pet carrier. Simply zip the dome onto the Sleepypod.
The mesh allows them to see out, while being safe and secure inside.
Little Bit loves her cozy Sleepypod! Little Bit has the Sleepypod “medium”, recommended for 15 lbs or less, and there is ample room for her to stretch out and have her favorite blankie or snuggle toy. The Sleepypod Mini is recommended for pets 7 lbs or less.
She loves being able to see out! I love that she enjoys it and it helps reduce her stress. The Sleepypod comes with a padded shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry. The Sleepypod also comes in fun stylish colors such as: Jet Black, Chocolate Brown, Strawberry Red, Robin Egg Blue, Blossom Pink, and (Artic White – Medium Only).
Sleepypod Becomes a Safe Car Seat!
PPRS Handilock Equipped
The Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed is PPRS Handilock equipped, which helps with car safety. This device helps lock the strap on top so that it doesn’t fly open in case of a crash.
Travel is Safe and Comfortable with a Sleepypod
Using the Sleepypod Mobile pet bed as a car seat makes traveling safer for our pets. Seat belts securely latch around the bed in velcro positioning points to hold it in place. Just remember to use in a seat without an air bag. In case of a crash, your pet is secure in their cozy safe spot.
Sleepypod has been Crash-Tested!
Check out the success of Sleepypod in this short crash test video! You can also find more information on the Sleepypod Safety Test Program. I believe you will be as impressed as I was! After seeing it in action, I feel good knowing that my 4-legged friend has the protection!
Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed features in a nutshell:
- Removable mesh dome reveals an everyday pet bed or pet bed away from home
- Seatbelt straps allow Sleepypod Mini to be safely secured in a car seat
- Secure and durable mesh dome
- Easy access from the dome top or when the dome is removed to reveal the bed
- Removable, Ultra Plush bedding is machine-washable
- Easy clean exterior is made of luggage-grade, ballistic nylon
- Adjustable shoulder strap with comfort padding
- Padded carry handle
- Ergonomic zipper pulls
- Sleepypod Mini Fits beneath a wide range of airline seats
The Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed has made our lives easier. From short trips to the vet to traveling, Little Bit can be on-the-go in style and comfort. Without all the anxiety of her past trips, she is much more comfortable. I am happy that she is comfy and safe. The Sleepypod would be a benefit for all small pets – both dogs and cats!
You can find the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed online at Sleepypod! Visit with them today and check out all the amazing features. I’m sure your pet already has one on their wish list! Little Bit already has their optional warmer pad for Winter and, of course, their air mesh bedding for Summer on her wish list! Hum! I guess we will be spoiling her further 🙂

I would love this for my little Lucy so I know she will be safe in the car. I love everything about it.
I love how handy and portable this is. the open zipper and the air vents makes it a great travel option
I have one of these. When I took my cat into the vet they absolutely adored it
I love the look of the SleepyPod, it seems to be extremely well made with comfort in mind for our little furbabies. I especially like the hot pink color of this one. Thank you for your review & for sharing this! I had never heard of the SleepyPod before this.
I’ve seen so much about these carriers. I have three cats and worry about their safety when I take them to the vet or anywhere else. I have several basic cat carriers, but you can see that they just aren’t as sturdy – not to mention, I’m sure not as comfortable as a Sleepypod. I’ve been dying to get these for my cats.
I love the name Little Bit 🙂 The Sleepypod Carrier looks really comfortable and roomy. It reminds me of a little den 🙂 This would be a better and safer way to travel with my Chihuahua. I love all the great features of this carrier!
This is so cool,my dad’s two furbabies would love this
You review it was excellent and tax on all points. The fact that you used a Chihuahua wasn’t excellent pet to choose because as I’ve noticed they always seem to be shaking. My neighbors have a Chihuahua that was always under a blanket on the couch. So I wonder if they shake so much because there are nervous or if they’re just cold all the time
Pet carrier, bed, & car seat All-In-One! WOW! And the colors are so pretty too! What’s not to love!
It is good to know about this pet carrier! I soo want a little dog someday, and I wouldn’t want my little bittie to be shaking and shivering and freaking out. Great information!!! and adorable “model”!!
This looks interesting, but I think my dog is too big!!!
What a success story for your dog! This seems like a great product for little dogs who travel.
What an amazing product. I love everything about it! I can see that it would help with anxiety, safety and comfort. Thank you for sharing this fantastic Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed.
I love this idea so much. My Pomeranian would love traveling in this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Wow, I can’t believe it was actually crash tested! That’s awesome! I also have seen sleepy pod on giveaways and it looked much smaller than when I saw the photos of little bit sitting in it… so it’s roomier than I actually imagined!
I love the look of this SleepyPod, it’s hard case construction to protect our furbabies, and the cozy comfortable bed inside. Perfect for a visit to the vet or vacation road trip.
My biggest worry when I have to drive any of my furbabies anywhere is if they’ll be safe in an emergency. My dogs are always either tethered or crated, and of course, my cats are NEVER loose in my vehicle. I have the typical plastic carriers for my cats, but worry that they aren’t safe enough. I’ve seen so much positive about the Sleepypod, I’d love one for each of my cats. My dogs are all in the 65-80 pound range, so there’s no way to get one large enough for them. LOL!
This has got to be the cutest, most useful carrier/bed I have ever seen! I would use this for my cat or my little yorkie.
I so love this Mobile Pet Bed, my Harley will love traveling to the vet in this vs a regular pet carrier, it has so many great features. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Love all the great colors they come in too!
I’m thinking this would be ideal for my sister-in-law – she has an adorable toy poodle that would truly enjoy car rides in this feature-packed pet carrier!
Id love to have one of these for my dog it looks comfyb
A friend of mine has one of these for her cat. It’s wonderful – acts as a bed at home, and as a safe mode of travel in the car. I really love the style!
That is a great invention for the pups (and maybe a cat). Looks comfy.
This is such a great idea! We don’t have a pet currently but I could see giving this as a gift to our pet-loving friends who travel.
Great for travel.
This looks so comfortable for dogs! Since I have a 70 lb lab mix, I don’t think this would work for us. LOL. But my brother has a small dog and I can see Baxter loving this!
This item is so neat being it can be used as a bed, a carrier, or a car seat. Any little pet would surely enjoy being in one.
How cute is this. This would be perfect for while we are traveling
This would be great for my dog! Thanks for the review.
I believe the Sleepy Pod looks so adorable and comfortable! Thanks for showing me this.
I love that the liner comes out for cleaning. I’d suggest putting a piddle pad between the bottom and the liner if you have a nervous pet who is a nervous piddler.
My Chihuahuas crawl all over me when I’m driving so I could really use this.
I love how versatile these are! I could really use one for our cats
I m thinking this would be super cozy for the dog and she would love it.
This is the most adorable invention.
Awesome dog bed..
I like that this has different uses–a carrier or a bed. Looks very well made.
I really like that it is 3 in one and the bottom part is washable. Really cute too.
I absolutely love the idea of this. I have a Miniature Dachshund that this would be perfect for. Thanks!
I just love the style of these. What great color choices, too!
Love Sleepypod’s commitment to safety! No other company sets crash standards so high. Nice to know that Sleepypod continues to make sure our pets from the smallest to the largest are protected in the car! I have a 4.5 lb Maltese and a 135 lb Newfoundland so I am grateful for their commitment to safety.
It’s so nice being able to travel with my cat knowing he is secure. The high quality of these carriers makes them trustworthy and durable for regular travel!
I absolutely love this! Perfect for my kitty who travels with me! I love how safe it is.
I like that it goes from a bed to a carrier. Much easier to load up some of the runners who make a mad dash for the other end of the house when the carrier comes out
I am really impressed with this mobile pet carrier/bed. It is ideal to help your pet with anxiety. Thank you.
Looking good! Seems so safe and great for the pet.
Can your pets stand up fully in the Sleepypod?
Yes they can. They can stand, sit, and lay with plenty of room. These are for small pets though.
Sleepypod truly cares about our pet’s safety. They are stylish and safe!
This looks so comfy! I’m thinking that this would be a great carrier for our cats. Our dogs are a little bit big for it lol.
I am glad your baby is feeling better during the travels. I feel awful when my baby girl shakes anxiously.
Nice post!
I need this for my cat!
This would also be great for transporting the cat.
I love how this carrier converts to a bed. Great style and equally great quality. I’d love one for each of my cats (my dogs are too big).
I love this for my little Pennie chi. Safety and comfort is all I ever want for my furbaby.
I would love to win this bed
Is this option for the giveaway daily? If so, I can only re-iterate how much I could use this for my Mini Dachshund. 🙂 Thanks!
I love how soft the interior looks. It beats those crates with the hard bottoms!
I love this pet carrier , it cool because it has different ways it can be used.
I love the different ways it can be used.
It’s nice that you can take the top off and use it as a pet bed so the animal gets used to it.
I just love the style of the Sleepypod. Such great quality, too!
This is great! Comfortable and portable!
This would be great for my small fur babies, give me peace of mind and keep them calm, also. I like the shape of it.
Such a marvelous design. We could drive fair distance with the cat in the carrier strapped in.
I really like that you can accustom your pet to the carrier by letting them use it as a bed at home. Familiar things can reduce stress for dogs or cats that aren’t use to travel.
This is looking good
I like how you can separate parts of this to wash. Often if you try to wash something, the insert will get all warped or uneven.
Can’t say enough about how much I love how is product!!!!!
Thank you for the review.
The design for securing in the car is the best that I have ever seen.
Everyone who travels with a small dog or a cat needs one of these. I love how safe they are for the animals.
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. How nice it will be in the winter to keep your pet warm while traveling.
What a doll that chi is! I have an older chihuahua who would really benefit from a sleepypod. This year she started have anxiety in the car and I think a comfortable and safe dog car seat like this one would really help her feel more at ease.
I could transport my cat safely in this carrier.
This is genius! I love how it turns into a car seat! Love it!
My daughter has been planning on taking her cat to her boyfriend’s house (to let the cats get to know each other and play together). I worry about her driving that distance without a really safe carrier. This would be perfect for her!
I like the seatbelt strap for securing the item in the car. Very important to do so!
This is such a cool company. You can even buy a small electric heating pad for this bed.
We’re getting down to the wire. Fingers crossed we win. I’d need three of these for our cats, so it would really help to win one. These Sleepypod mobile pet beds are one of the best pet products on the market.
I think that it is smartly designed and very comfortable for the dog
I should add that the red color would look super cool with my red Subaru (just sayin!)
We take our little dog camping with us all the time and while driving we fasten the seat belt to a loop on her harness. This would be so much more comfortable for her, plus it would be great to remove her from the Jeep, keeping her in the sleepypod, until we are unloaded and have her leads secured and ready in the trees and in/around the camper.
It looks so comfortable!
It is really great that is would be so easy to carry. Also love that it would be so easy to clean.
SleepPod allows us to give our babies comfort, protection and all the love they deserve. Thank you.
My cats would absolutely love this comfy bed! And how easy transporting them to the vet! I can see the dog fussing with them over the bed at night!
I would’ve loved this for my Long-haired Chihuahua, Mona. I had a booster seat for her which did okay, but this would’ve made her feel even more like a Diva. I miss her. It’s almost a year since her passing. This would be great to win for my Miniature Dachshund, though.
I’d love a Sleepypod for Trinny and Gracie May. They look ultra comfy and I like that they’re easy to clean. Thanks for the informative review!
I really would like a Sleepypod because my cat Trinny figured out how to escape her carrier. She’s able to push her head through the velcro even though I make it secure. She likes to look out the window when we’re driving home. The Sleepypod looks secure and I wouldn’t have to worry about her escaping!
I love that it becomes a safe car seat. If I won I’d donate this to one of my favorite local dog rescues (I have 3 rescue cats but not yet any dogs). Animals are one of the main charities to which I donate. That’s why 10-20% of my sales from my Rodan+Fields skincare business go toward local animal rescue.
This is a wonderful pet bed/carrier and I need one. My sister has a spoiled yes she is little girl who goes ever where with her. This would make he comfortable where ever they are visiting. Another item off my christmas shopping lisst
