Pet Product Review - Sleepypod Air

today I was not sent a sample I was sent a press release announcing the newest product specifically designed for in cabin pet travel on aircraft. Again I wish I had a sample so I can give you my opinion, but I did want to bring it to your attention. Below please find product information from their press release:


Sleepypod’s Newest Evolution in Pet Carriers Redefines In-cabin Pet Travel
Los Angeles, Calif.—September 20, 2009—Sleepypod, maker of the eponymous, multiple award-winning mobile pet bed, announces it will
introduce Sleepypod Air, its newest evolution in pet carriers, at the H.H. Backer 43rd Annual Christmas Trade Show & Educational
Conference in Chicago, Ill. on October 2-4.
“This is not just the newest evolution in Sleepypod’s line of pet carriers,” says Michael Leung, one of Sleepypod’s three co-owners and
product designers. Sleepypod Air is a revolutionary carrier that redefines in-cabin pet travel. Airline regulations regarding pets in the airline
cabin are not created equal. Each airline has its own rules, to include its own restrictions on the maximum pet carrier size.
“Sleepypod Air solves this size restriction dilemma. It has the ability to contract in size to fit in the space below a range of airline seats during
the restricted times of takeoff and landing,” explains Leung. “Once the captain announces you are free to recline your seat, simply slide
Sleepypod Air from under the seat and expand the carrier so your pet is allowed the largest space possible space while the plane is in the air.”
Sleepypod Air’s folding base allows it to be compressed from a length of 22 inches to 19 inches in length when one side is folded or 16 inches
in length when both sides are folded. Instructional diagrams on how to compress and expand Sleepypod Air can be found at:
http://sleepypod.com/air.
/>Safe Car Seat Function
Seatbelt straps on both sides allow you to secure Sleepypod Air in a car seat. Instructional diagrams on how to use Sleepypod Air as a safe car
seat for a pet can be found at: http://sleepypod.com/air.

Pet Product Review -PetSak by PuchiBag

Summer is coming to a close, and Vogue's September edition will soon be at our doorstep.  This means its time for fall fashion, get ready! But what's the point of being stylish if you're pup is not trendy and stylish.  Lucky for us there is PetSak by PuchiBag.

Petsak_bluedot_lg_thumb

Can I tell you this bag is wonderful!  Anna Wintour would agree for sure.  First, the patterned design is up to date and great for all seasons.  Next, despite the very sturdy canvas and nylon mesh construction, the bag is very light weight.  Leashes, bones or toys may be adhered to the bag with attached velcro fasteners. 

There is enough space for a dog up to 15 lbs to trave with luxurious comfort:

Width: 15"
Depth: 5 1/2"

Height: 10 1/2"

So no more hiding your little pup when you travel.  Strut with style.  In fact, this is the same bag that was featured in movies such as MGM's "Legally Blonde"  and numerous publications (including InStyle, US Weekly, Vogue, Marie Claire and The New York Times).   PuchiBag, think Function, Fashion and Fabulous!!!!
I love the sample that was sent to me and will certain put it to great use.

Order yours today, in fact the PetSak by PuchiBag is on sale for only $89.99 and there is free shipping!  Go to www.puppycratesplus.com or directly to the PetSak web page at http://www.puppycratesplus.com/store-products-Blue-Dot-PetSak-Tote-PetSak-Tote%2C-Blue-Dot_42596293.html

PetSak by PuchiBag is the fall fashion essential.

You know being a blogger is very interesting.  You deal with an assortment of characters.  In most cases, they are wonderful.  Please ask me to review their products, they send me samples and I give as honest a review as possible. 

Well this one manufacturere Daxi Zhesanya Plastic - Pet Carriers from China sent me an email asking me to check out their catalogue and buy one of their products so that I can write a review.  Here is the entire transcript, which by the way includes their website:

10:22 PM petcarrier: i has been to received your inquiry by e-mail
  so,i add you
  pls pay the samples charges for us first if you want to got the samples from our factory
10:23 PM me: no thank you. there are plenty of manufacturers who send me samples for free for very valuable reviews.
 petcarrier: ok,good bye!

Well.... I don't mind the poor spelling and grammar.  What I do mind is that someone from this company sends me gmail chat messages that say " F*** YOU !!"  Can you believe that?  Is that how they do business in China?  What's funny is that on his profile they have the logo for the Beijing Olympics.  I wonder if diplomacy stops as soon as the games leave. 

I find the whole thing funny since I never did review any of their products.  And in fact I own one that must have been licensed to an American company.

Pet Products Review - Guardian Gear Collapsible Crates

Every so often I come across a product that I say to myself, wow! this is an essential.  The Guardian Gear Collapsible Crates is just that.  Now you and your pet can travel in comfort and ease and never worry about lugging thast huge, heavy metal cage around.  So puppy owners, if you're cage training your pup, but want to visit the folks, no problem.


Collapsible_crate_thumb

What I love is that the crate folds up into a convenient flat case that is only 2" thick.  Kind of like those big artist portfolios you see people carry around the city.  The Guardian Create is durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean, there are large mesh windows so your pup feels like he's part of the action. I'm going to start using it so that my pup can watch me participate in field sports without having to worry that he might get loose or might not have shelter from the rain or heat.  Plus, he'll get to watch the action.

The Guardian Crates come in a variety of colors correspond to size. Faux sheepskin mat provides comfort. Matching carrying case, less than 2" thick, has Velcro flaps on convenient pockets that hold toys, treats, and accessories. Assemble or break down in seconds with no tools required.

Crates are available in the sizes listed below.
Pink/Green Small measures 24 L x 18 W x 21 H Lime Green/Blue Medium measures 31 L x 21 W x 26 H Orange/Yellow Large measures 38 L x 26 W x 29 H Red/Blue X-Large measures 42 L x 29 W x 34 H

I shopped around and found the very best prices at PetEdge.com:  http://www.petedge.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=46652  as low as $34.99.  Great price!

Pet Products Review - Sleepypod Air Mesh Pet Carrier

So this pas week I was traveling for business and at the car rental counter was this lady with her Yorkie.  Not only were they stylish beyond belief, her little Yorkie had perhaps what I thought the most perfect pet carrier - a Sleepypod Air Mesh Pet Carrier

Sleepypod_pet_carrier-600x195_thumb

The Sleepypod is much more than a bed, but an entire system that is designed to give your pet more or less exposure to the scene, depending on the pet and situations.  They do this by first starting with a super secure base of foam and cushion and then capping that base with a collapsible mesh dome.  The dome can be opened up "a little" or all the way.  The thich sturdy shoulderstrap either way assures that your pet is close to their protector.

I especially like the mesh for the ventilation qualities.  Our subways, planes and trains can get awefully stuffy this time of year.

Another good point is that the Sleepypod can be cleaned simply with a vacuum, or if you need, its washing machine safe. 

Now, there are many variables and measurements to create the custom Sleepypod that is perfectly suited to your pet.  With that, I recommend going to their website http://sleepypod.com/airmesh  and build your own.  If you're combining with other pet supplies, go no farther than www.pawsupply.com  not only does their selection of Sleepypod start at a competitive $152, but 5% of all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.  http://www.pawsupply.com/sleepypod.html   Good work to both.
