Petego Pet Tube Car Kennel, Large

Great Investment!
I recently traveled across country, Phoenix (AZ) to DC with my three cats and the thought of stuffing them in their separate kennels for journey, even with nightly stops, was not appealing. A family member spotted the Pet Tube in a magazine and I was sold. I did buy the accompanying comfort pillows, which are a fit perfect in the Pet Tube and easy to clean in the event of messes (I had food and water and small litter pan in the large Pet Tube plus three cats!). I did even up rotating on cat up by me for breaks in a carrier to give everyone a bit more room to breathe, but the Pet Tube made a night a day difference with three cats that normally loss their minds just on the way to the vet!
2500 Miles and Two Cats
I had to move two cats from the East Coast to Washington state this summer and was really stressed about how it would work, especially since I was going to be the only human on the trip. I found the pet tube and decided it was my best option for myself and the cats. I have to say it worked great. The cats had enough room to get up and move. What's more, they actually were able to use the medium sized litter box I provided them in the tube. Getting the tube in and out of my small Mazda hatchback was fine as long as I moved the seats up when it was time.

From what I can tell this thing is very durable. I lugged it in an out of several hotel rooms while it was filled with 24 lbs of cat. No problems. I did put some twist ties on the zippers because I knew my cats would soon figure out how to open it. Some were complaining because it doesn't let much light in. For me that was a plus because it encouraged the cats to sleep and not concentrate on the movement of the...
Finally - Dog and Doggie Parent Happy!!!!
I've spent a lot of $$$ trying different things in my Mazda CX-7 to keep my rambunctious 1 year old 55-pound lab mix safe and comfortable while allowing her to have some freedom. I've tried the zip line and harness (dog almost strangled herself when the line got wrapped around her neck when she turned around), seatbelt harness (dog did not like downward slope of seat for laying down and just wouldn't settle down), and a soft-crate (which was a royal pain getting it into and out of the car). I decided to try one last product, the Petego Pet Tube Car Kennel, Large, and if that didn't work, I'd go back to the better of the previously mentioned products. Bottom Line Up Front: We LOVE the Pet Tube but it is not quite perfect. What I like:
- The Pet Tube was easy to install in my back seat. Just put it in your car and pop it open. There are three straps that you can use to anchor the tube to your back seat. That plus the front seats means the tube isn't going anywhere. I...
