You know the stress you feel when you travel? The tedium, the interminable delays, the rise in blood pressure? Multiply that by 100 for your cat or dog—crammed into a carrier, which may or may not fit under the seat in front of you.

Well, you can jettison those concerns faster than refusing a questionable airline meal: Introducing the Sleepypod, the pet carrier-cum-portable bed that allows both you and the furry object-of-your-affection to travel in style.

The Sleepypod is an ultra-plush bed as well as a carrier, so your pet can traverse in the security of a familiar space—which means no more wrestling with freaked out quadrupeds. The Air model is guaranteed to fit beneath an airline seat, and all versions of the Sleepypod double as a car seat. So Fluffy is comfortable and safe at every stage of your trip. 

Says curator Chris Vazquez, AHAlife’s Web Content Producer, dog lover and owner, “This is a great alternative to the standard hard plastic pet kennels that are found at most pet shops. They are also more comfortable for your pet as they all come with a comfy padded fluffy insert that lines not just the base of the carrier but the walls of the perimeter.”

From the owner/pet-shlepper point of view, the Sleepypod is equally well thought out. It comes with a detachable padded shoulder strap, folds flat for storage, and has removable machine-washable bedding and a water-resistant foam liner. And because we believe pet love is no reason to sacrifice style, we're offering the Sleepypod in a bevy of outfit-flattering colors.

Now if only Sleepypod would make human-size travel pods…
