We are delighted to introduce Sleepypod, recently available in the UK. Pets Owns Us is one of the exclusive online retailers stocking the Sleepypod product ranges. These pet carriers are innovative, the designs are as luxurious as they are practical and versatile. We love their story from humble beginnings to world wide success. Let's start by mentioning the dynamic duo Melony Lee and Michael Leung who co-founded the original Sleepypod with their adopted Bengal cat Rawl Rawl as their sidekick and inspiration.

Melony Lee recognised a gap in the market after searching for a suitable carrier for Rawl Rawl. The pair loved travelling and wanted to start taking Rawl Rawl with them as a kitten. Melony Lee has a graphic and visual design background and with Michael Leung as the lead product designer they created the original Sleepypod prototype. Rawl Rawl was delighted, in fact she thoroughly enjoys a road trip. The course was set to perfect their concept into the high end quality, innovative design and versatility the Sleepypod ranges offer pet owners today. The process took a year and a half by which time a fellow industrial designer Greg Mote had joined the duo and the first Sleepypod was officially a commercial product and Rawl Rawl no longer a kitten. Once they got it right it was a big hit in the industry.

Greg Mote says “The Sleepypod was our first entry into the pet market. At our first trade show (Backer Christmas 2006) we had a booth full of Sleepypod (Jet Black). Many people didn’t know what to think of it as it was so different than all the other beds and carriers. But it didn’t take long to explain the benefits and we soon had hundreds of stores and world wide distribution”.

The Sleepypod pod slogan is “Baby your pet” and their award winning designs certainly stay true to this ethos. Most recently from The Centre for Pet Safety which is an organisation dedicated to consumer and companion animal safety. Lindsey Wolko, Center for Pet Safety founder said “Sleepypod consistently outperforms other pet product manufacturers who struggle to even attempt to meet our rigorous testing and performance requirements. There is a level of commitment here that we simply don’t see from the rest of the industry.”

In 2010 the Sleepypod Air won two prestigious editors choice awards. The revolutionary pet carrier was deemed a best product of the year by Dog Fancy and Cat Fancy magazines. Sleepypod was also featured in the Metropolitan Home “Design 100” alongside iconic products like the iPhone and the Smartcar.

Each product has ingenious features, designed to be used for specific purposes for pet owners with on the go lifestyles. The Sleepypod range is ideally suited to small dogs and cats. Here are some key points to keep in mind if you are considering investing in a Sleepypod.

What makes the Sleepypod Original Mobile Pet Bed & Carrier unique is it's shape and versatility!

In the Car- Crash-tested Sleepypod transforms into a cozy and safe car seat with velcro positioning points that secure a seat belt in place. Simply wrap the seat belt around the base of the Sleepypod and pull the shoulder belt through the top handle. Your furry friend can now remain safely in his or her own bed throughout the entire journey. Included is PPRS Handilock designed to augment the mobile pet bed. Tips for road trips with your Canine OR Feline

The Dome : The secret is in the adjustable dome top. Removing the top altogether will give your pet the easy access of a standard pet bed with adjustable zips. The bed is designed so that your pet can spread out in the way that is most natural. The round shape will contour around your pet's body providing yet another layer of coziness in the ultra plush bedding.

The sleek design, easy to carry Sleepypod Atomfits comfortably under an aeroplane seat. The Atom is approved by most major airlines. Special provisions designed to snugly secure with seatbelts in the car. The atom like all Sleepypod's has been crash tested. It's the compact on the go choice.

Optimised design for the jet set pet. The Air provides maximum comfort for your pet and is larger than the Atom. It is airline approved for in cabin travel and of course crash tested to be used with lap and shoulder belt securely whilst driving.

Considering flying in the EU with your pet?Here are some tips.

The Clickit Sport harness is the result of a dedicated 2 year engineering project. It features a patent pending infinity loop design that eliminates the need for strength-rated, steel hardware. The infinity loop webbing design, in combination with a padded vest, work together to distribute and reduce damaging forces that can cause injury. It can also be used as a walking harness to attach to a leash.

The Clickit Terrain recently released in the UK & EU is a high performance car safety harness. It's design features optimum enhanced safety, comfort and control features for everyday use. Over and above being crash tested what makes the Clickit Terrain worth the price tag is the new shock absorbing sleeves designed to work with a broad padded vest and patented Infinity Loop. The same patent pending shock absorbing sleeves make the Clickit Terrain comfortable for use as an everyday walking harness. It is light and easy to use, it also provides better control for the handler. Reflective patches on the harness shoulders can be interchanged with service patches for working dogs. Working dogs and active dogs will benefit from the Clickit Terrain design.

Hi Owen,

Thank you for reaching out. The size guide is accurate. However when a dog’s breastbone is in between sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size. In your case that would be the medium – 55cm -70cm. For the Clickit to fit well, you need to be able to place two fingers snugly between your dogs back and the harness. Hope this helps.

Ignore my previous email.

Can you tell me the width of the webbing that runs between the front legs and down the breastbone for both the small and the medium Clickit harnesses please. Can you also tell me the maximum girth for the chest strap of the small and the minimum for the medium. I have seen the guides on your web site but I need to know the actual measurements rather than the guide because my dog is slap bang inbetween the max for one and the min for the other! Thank you again.

Amazing product and service

My beagle has had a tough 2020. 3 cruciate ligament surgeries. A failed graft after another. We felt terrible leaving her incthe house to go on walks that she'd usually love, but now can't do. We bought the air comfort buggie and what a difference it has made in just a week. The delivery was exceptionally quick and instalation really easy. The product is comfy and easy to push and she is secure and able to join us on different terains. She now gets to join us on long walks and doesn't have to be left home alone. My only regret is not buying sooner. Can't recommend more.

Excellent!

I recently purchased a pet stroller, it came almost ready assembled and superb quality ! The company ( pets own us) was very professional and emailed me with updates until my stroller arrived. I cannot praise them enough, I am a very happy customer and I will definitely be buying more from them again. Thanks

Innopet Sporty dod stroller

After struggling with my rescue tripod Bull Terrier having to drive most places to do short walks the stroller has been a god send. Im now able to leave the car at home and get into the wonderful countryside for her walks. I let her have short walks then a rest in the stroller. Bella has taken really well to the stroller and acutely lets me no when she wants to be pushed. It so easy to push on all terrains and very easy up and down kerbs. Taking it down to put in the car is so easy the wheels click of and the stroller then folds down with ease. Best thing I have ever bought. Thank you to who ever designed the stroller they certainly had Bella's needs in mind. Great design highly recommend to my doggie friends.

Good buggy BUT.....

I ordered the Inopet sporty dog buggy as we are keen walkers and have a very lazy bulldog who we wanted to join us on our family walks. Overall I love the buggy and it’s very comfy for our 25kg bulldog who absolutely loves it too! The only criticism I have are the air filled tyres. I’ve only had the buggy a couple of weeks and we have had 2 punctures. Luckily we were near home when this happened so she managed to walk back so we could sort it out. Would of probably been better with the hard style tyres as I am worried if this happens when we’re on a long journey, my bulldog would struggle with getting home.

Fabulous service. Easy, friendly and fast delivery! The website made choosing online so easy. The stroller is fantastic. Just the right size with plenty of room and very comfy. Thank you!
