Ugliest Pet Bed Contest

Posted by moderncat

Moderncat is partnering with two other great design blogs, Design Milk and Mod-Dog, to bring you this awesome contest and your chance to win a Sleepypod! We’re looking for the ugliest pet bed out there. We figure the pet with the worst napping spot deserves something better, so we are going to do what we can to help.

To enter:

Send a photo of your pet’s ugly, gross, disgusting, hideous, gnarly pet bed OR the pathetic place your pet currently uses as a bed. Both cat and dog owners are welcome to enter. We want to see the yuckiest!

Design Milk, along with Moderncat and Mod-Dog will narrow the entries down to a select few. Readers of all three blogs will then vote on Design Milk to determine the First and Second Place winners. The winner will be announced in a future post on Design Milk.

Photos should be emailed to info@design-milk.com with subject line “Sleepypod Contest”.

Please note: Sleepypods are designed for pets 15lbs and under. We apologize, but large dogs are excluded from the contest. Maybe we will have another contest just for large dogs :)

Prize:

First Place winner: Your choice of one Sleepypod or Sleepypod mini in the color you prefer (subject to availability).

The Second Place winner will receive a print courtesy of Mod-Dog (examples below).

A Sleepypod is a pet carrier with a removable top so that it can easily be used as a pet bed (view demo). Sleepypods are designed to reduce stress on your pet when on-the-go. Learn more at Sleepypod.

Rules:

Contest begins on October 1, 2008 and ends on October 31, 2008. Voting will then occur. The winner will be announced no later than November 30th, 2008.

One entry per pet. If you have 5 pets per household that meet the criteria, then you can enter 5 times (once for each pet).

This contest is being made possible by Sleepypod, Design Milk, Mod-Dog, and Moderncat.

Blossom Pink Sleepypod Contributes to Breast Cancer Charities

Posted by moderncat

While at the SuperZoo expo, I also stopped by to visit my friends at Sleepypod. They gave me a sneak peek at their new “Blossom Pink” Sleepypod, which they are launching in October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 15 percent of the profits of sales of the blossom pink Sleepypods will be donated to breast cancer awareness and research charities. Donations will be ongoing and not limited to the month of October alone.

Posted by moderncat

Sleepypod Mini Mobile Pet Bed and Carrier by Meowme

The folks at Meowme have created a miniature version of their innovative Sleepypod pet carrier. The Sleepypod Mini has all the same features as the full size Sleepypod, but the mini is designed to fit under an airplane seat for traveling with smaller pets. Just the right size for that new little kitten you’ve been thinking about getting.

Re-thinking the Pet Carrier: Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed

Posted by moderncat

Sleepypod per carrier by Meowme

Finding a well-designed pet carrier, that is appropriate for cats, can be quite a challenge. Hard plastic, bulky forms, and difficult-to-use latches are the norm. Generally, the carrier is associated with a negative experience for both cat and owner. Finally, the designers at Meowme have developed a truly innovative pet carrier. The Sleepypod mobile pet bed functions as both a bed and a carrier. It becomes your pet’s personal living space while at home, then easily converts to a safe, stylish, and comfortably-familiar carrier.

The innovative features of the Sleepypod include a mesh dome top that can be easily opened and closed or removed completely, machine-washable plush bed liner, water-resistant foam liner, and luggage-grade nylon outer covering. It has both a carrying handle built into the dome top and a removable padded shoulder strap. You can even purchase an optional electric warming pad that fits snugly under the bed liner and can be used with a 12 volt car adapter.

One outstanding feature of the Sleepypod–something that is ignored in most other carriers–is the ability to safely and easily secure the carrier in the car. Simply wrap the seatbelt around the base of the Sleepypod and latch in place, then pull the shoulder belt through the carrying handle and Velcro the handle closed.

I hope that this is just the first of many innovations that we will see from Meowme.
