I had an Basics hammock that my dog decided to poop on while we were driving to New York. I hosed it off, disinfected it and set it outside to dry. Well, then a rolling storm came swinging through town and the hammock couldn鈥檛 be dried in time for the trip home, so I threw it out (because I鈥檓 irrational). Anyway, immediately ordered this one here.So much better. The side hooks are a perfect addition to an already brilliant design, and the mesh window makes it easier for our little dog to make eye contact with us up front and not freak out so much. Really happy with this purchase.
