Sleepypod Brings Crash Protection to Extra Large Dogs
Clickit Sport XL earns the highest possible five star crash test rating from the Center for Pet Safety.
Sleepypod®, a Pasadena-based company known for reinventing pet products through innovative design, today brings crash protection to extra large dogs with Clickit Sport in XL size. Clickit Sport XL addresses the extraordinary challenges of restraining dogs weighing up to 90 pounds. The XL design is the result of a dedicated 3-year engineering effort by Sleepypod’s design team.

Clickit Sport XL is certified by the Center for Pet Safety, earning the highest possible five star crash test rating. It is the only pet harness in the Extra Large 90 lb. category that is certified, meeting the non-profit and research advocacy group’s critical guidelines for safety.

“Developing a product to safely restrain a 90-pound pet is a significant advancement in auto safety,” says Michael Leung, Sleepypod co-founder and lead product designer. “Loose dogs in autos are hazards for humans and pets. A 90-pound dog can yield up to 2700 pounds of force in a 30 mph collision.”
A patent pending Infinity Loop works in combination with a padded vest to distribute and reduce damaging forces that can cause injury. Clickit Sport’s three points of contact design offers the most advanced pet safety restraint technology. The three points of contact reduce forward and lateral movement in the event of a collision or sudden stop, protecting a pet from becoming a projectile that can endanger human passengers.
Customers can pre-order Clickit Sport in the XL size from the Sleepypod online store for delivery in late August.
