We plan a 2,000 mile trip in late June (and return through hot weather in July, for sure) Is this pad for 2 long haired 20 lb dogs good for a car ride?

The bed does stay cool. My dogs were afraid of it because of it being soft. It gets very heavy with the water.

Yes. I put mine in my car whenever I travel. It IS heavy filled up , but two people can easily move it. Just make sure you hold on to all four corners when you move it, to keep the foam inside in place.

It may be just fine with the 40lbs on top,but it could slide because of the water inside pad.I suggest taking it for a trial run before leaving on trip.

I think cats need alot of room.my dog is 19 to 20 lbs and had ample room to move around..if the cats aren't long, it would be ok but comfort is important for a long trip.

My experience with a 70 lb golden and a 65 lb lab is that without a cover the cool pad is very prone to ripping. After having or second pad replaced we finally gave up using the pad. It is a good idea but without a cover the pad simply will not stand up to any normal use. Ours all failed with a couple of weeks.

We live in El Paso, TX and it gets over 100 degrees in the summer. The material did get hot, especially if the sun was directly on it. It wasn't extremely hot to the touch, but it was very warm. We kept a white towel in the car to cover the seat up when we were not in the car, and also would put ice packs on the seat under the towel to keep it cool, which helped tremendously.

My dog did well with the backpack. My only concern is if the weather is really hot as I would want more breathability in the pack. But for cooler or moderate weather I would highly reccommend this pack.

I am using this cushion on my office chair. I sit all day and I'm "plus size". I don't know exactly how long I've had it (at least 6 weeks) and it has maintained a good level of firmness. It has added height (slight lift). If you want guaranteed lift in height for a long drive, I would definitely say yes, it will hold up for a long drive. I am sorry, but can't give you a good guess on how much height you'll gain. You'll be pleased with the firmness holding up, but not sure it will give you the height in inches you are seeking since that depends on how low your car seat currently rests.

One more thing I forgot to mention is that the pad does not feel warm to the touch, if the pet is not on it. Once the pet is on it, if I feel under her body, it feels "just right" warm. I guess this is a good thing, so the pad is not hot all the time, needlessly.

My dog is 14 pounds and she fits with room to spare. If the cats are 10 lbs each I think they can fit together. This is for 25 pounds and under. Easy to carry. However, I don't think it's very safe for long distance driving. Just to and from Vet or groomer.

I have used in many times - short and long trips - with two dogs - golden about 70 lbs and a lab about 55 lbs with no trouble ! I love it you can store a lot under it too. I do however use my original 'hammock' type seat cover over it - I don't like the gap it leaves between the end if it and the backOf the car seat -

Hi Sharon, Because our kitty already had the flat K& H pad, we decided to return this one with the hood, though it was really cute. I did take a good look at it and I think it would provide enough heat. We have been leaving ours on almost all day and she never wants to be away from it. For a four pounder, it should be perfect. Our cat is 14 pounds! I hope this helps!

I bought the med lookout II for my 9.6 lb dog. It does take up room in the car. However, it has worked out fantastic! And he seems to really like it! I bought him a soft harness to use only while he's strapped into his car seat. I highly recommend it.

The large Pad is fine for a large dog. Our dog is about 60 pounds. Remember, a dog normally does not sleep stretched out.It wraps up intoa ball shape.

I hope I can help you decide. My dog is about 10 lbs and she's very comfortable in her snoozer stroller. I would think that your 2 dogs, at 2lbs each, would have enough room in one bag. The side pockets are adequate for me. I put a leash in one and a soft travel 'bowl' in the other along with a kitchen towel for drying wet feet. I'm very happy with the snoozer. It's easy to roll and is light weight. You might try ordering 1. When you get the bag and put both dogs in it you'll know if you feel your dogs each need their own bag. You can always order a second one. Mine came within a week of ordering it. My guess is that 1 bag will work for two tiny dogs. If I can answer any other questions please let me know.

I had my Sticky Pad on the car dash board all summer, with my sunglasses on it, and it was fine. It does get hot in Alabama, so I can say sticky pad will not melt in direct sunlight, and does not stop working.

My cat is 18 pounds and she fits fine in this. I would believe it would be perfect for a 20 pound dog. I would get it, try it, and if it's not good for your pup, then just return it. It has been a life savor for me, cuz she's too heavy for me to carry in a regular carrier. I love this carrier. Highly recommend.

I have 2- 18 lb shih tzu's. The fit great in the large tube. They can lay down and move around but are still kept in a safe place. We love the tube to travel with our dogs. They can see out and get lots of ventilation. There is a lot of room left even when both dogs are in there. We want ours to be comfy and have room but your dogs are smaller than ours. You can also adjust the large to be shorter by a few inches by cinching it up- that may work ok for you too. We didn't get the pad they offered here, we use a soft bendable dog pillow from Petsmart that fits in there just fine. Good luck!
