Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed Review and Giveaway ($180 Value!) [CLOSED]

“The award winning Sleepypod is more than a bed, it’s a lifestyle. It’s your pet’s personal space, designed to fit his or her individual needs.

The beauty of the Sleepypod luxury pet carrier is its versatility. A dog that needs to be aware of his surroundings at all times can be just as easily accommodated as the cat who likes her privacy.

Most cats and many dogs associate travel with negative experiences such as a trip to the vet or the kennel. Sleepypod allows pets to travel safely in the pampered comfort of their own bed made of luxurious ultra-plush and foam alleviating the stress associated with travel and confinement in hard, plastic boxes with limited visibility.

Once your pet becomes accustomed to using the Sleepypod as a ultra comfortable pet bed; zip Sleepypod’s sturdy mesh top onto the luggage-grade ballistic nylon bed with machine washable liner and Fifi (or Fido) is ready to travel in their own bed. Strapping the seat belt around the Sleepypod turns it into a car seat in seconds. Whether it’s a two-week vacation or an errand across town, you can bring your pet without putting up with a fuss from even the finickiest of furry travelers since Sleepypod is already a trusted part of your pet’s life. Visit our safety page for more information about our commitment to pet your pet’s safety.”-Sleepypod

I haven’t been able to find the perfect Pet Carrier for my sweet little 5 lb. dog. Well at least that was the case until I got the Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed. Up until now she has hated every carrier I have tried. So when the Sleepypod arrived I was a little worried that she would react the same way she has with the others. I am so happy to report that she loves her Sleepypod!

The great thing about the Sleepypod is that the top unzips and comes off completely. I was able to set the bed out and let her get used to it for about a week or so. Then when I put the top back on and put her in it, she didn’t fuss! I was amazed because it had never happened before. I think helping her to feel comfortable in it first was key. I love that the Sleepypod top can be removed. It’s genius!

I also love that it has a handle on top for carrying as well as a strap for over the shoulder carrying. Great versatility to accommodate however is easier to carry for you.

It can hold a cat up to 15 lbs. and a dog up to 12.5 lbs. With my fur baby being just 5 lbs. she has plenty of room in this carrier.

It easily fits under an airplane seat and can be strapped in as safe car seat for dogs and cats as well (as you can see in the pics above).

I love that the liner it comes with is a super soft plush that keeps your pet warm and comfortable. It is machine washable which is so nice and convenient. Another great feature is the Air Mesh lining under the plush perfect for warmer weather. Just remove the plush liner and your ready for the summer months.

My Fur Baby and I love the Sleepypod multiple award-winning mobile pet bed and highly recommend it for people who travel with their cats or dogs!

Purina Pet Gear Review and Puppy Pads Giveaway (10 Winners!) [CLOSED]

Purina Pet Gear has products for both dogs and cats, from pet beds and toys to products for training your dog and everything in between!

dc_wash

I have two fabulous dogs at my house. They are like my kids, they mean so much to me and our family. I love the products available from Purina Pet Gear. I’ve got my eye on a couple of their dog beds and chew toys I was sent a sample of their puppy training pads, their Giant Pet Hair Roller, and the OXY Pet Stain and Odor Eliminator to try out.

Since my dogs are past their potty training days I gave the puppy pad to my sister who has a new puppy. She said the pads worked really well and were really absorbent. There were no puddles or leaks and she could smell a difference from her old pads as these have an odor eliminator.

I love the Giant Pet Hair Roller and need it since one of my dogs sheds. It is so big I can easily roll the couches, or myself in minutes. It has 60 sheets so it will last a while.

Even though my dogs are potty trained, they still have accidents. Mostly throwing up when they have eaten something they shouldn’t. Having the OXY Pet Stain and Odor Eliminator on hand is a must. It lifts the pet soils (throw up, urine, etc.) for easy removal and destroys the odors on contact. The special oxygenation process leaves the surface clean and fresh.

To see all the available products in the Purina Pet Gear line visit www.PurinaPetGear.com.

Kakadu Pet Cot & All Seasons Mat Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

I was thrilled when our new Kakadu Pet Cot & All Seasons Mat arrived. My hubby and I immediately put it together for our Princess. Princess is a boxer and she has issues with leaving her dog bed in one spot. Up until now she has had a plush bed and she drags that thing all over the house. It drives me crazy! So a cot is the perfect choice for her so she will leave her bed where I want it to be. We were both pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble. It took us less than 10 minutes.

One it was put together we put the all seasons mat on top to add some extra cushion. I love that it has straps on the corners that wrap around the pole and snap on to hold it on the cot. It also has a warm fleece winter side and a cool summer nylon side. The perfect dog mat for any season (hence the name). Princess was nervous at first to get on the cot, but after a few times she realized it was safe She has been loving her cot ever since. And mommy is happy to report that she hasn’t moved it once!

Rascodog ReadyLeash Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

“An innovative, NON-retractable leash with bags built-in! The ReadyLeash comes in 2 different sizes and 6 different colors! The 5/8″ version is for dogs under 50-lbs, and the 1″ version is for dogs over 50-lbs. We have added super-strong metal hardware to this leash to withstand even the strongest of pullers. The ReadyLeash features a comfort-grip handle with an integrated poop bag dispenser. Poop bags simply pull out like tissues and refill rolls easily pop into the handle. The ReadyLeash comes equipped with an adjustable lead (4-6 ft range) and a roll of 15 biodegradable Readybags. Bulk ReadyBags can also be purchased separately.”-Rascodog Website

Let me just start out by saying I love my 45 lb. Boxer. She is a beauty and a sweety. But she can be a pain when it comes to going on walks. She is really struggling with not pulling (she is a work in progress). Up until now I have been using a fabric leash and the way it pulls on my hand is so painful. I literally have a rope type burn once our walk has finished. Then I came across the Rascodog ReadyLeash. Right off it appealed to me since it has the comfort handle but it is a non-retractable leash. Up until now I haven’t been able to find a non-retractable leash that had a handle like this. Now that I have used it on several walks, I can tell you that it really is comfortable. I could never go back to my old leash. But the other great feature of this dog leash is that it holds ReadyBags inside the handle! This is such a wonderful idea! I hate having to remember to grab the bags when we head out on our walks. And when you realize you forgot them it is such a hassle Now I never have to worry about that again because I have my bags with me in the leash. It’s fabulous! I love the ReadyLeash and I highly recommend it to dog owners everywhere!

Things that are Brag Worthy:

- Built-in bag dispenser
- Comes is 6 different colors
- Comfort-grip handle
- Adjustable 4-6 ft Lead
- Super strong metal hardware
- 15 biodegradable bags included

From now until January 1st, RascoDog will be giving away a 6-pk of ReadyBags with any purchase of a ReadyLeash. To redeem, add any ReadyLeash and a 6-pk of ReadyBags to your Amazon shopping cart and use claim code FREEBAGS.

You can purchase the ReadyLeash at www.rascodog.com!
