This collar looks great, but doesn't work well. We couldn't get it to stay tight so we would randomly find it laying on the floor or outside. I give this collar two stars because it looks good, but it's not worth the money!

I bought this for my 4 year old 50 lb pit mix who loves to be under blankets. I bought a new sectional and wanted to keep him off. it worked! He loves his new "pod". The 36 inch size leaves him plenty of room to stretch out. It only took a couple of days for him to learn to get inside of it. Well worth the cost for me!

I have two XL beds for my 45 pound vizslas. The dogs *love* them and the XL is plenty large (the Large is not quite big enough). If my two dogs were more snuggly with each other, they could both fit in one XL. The exterior (I have the suede-like material, not the canvas cotton) is nice but the interior fleece lining is low quality fleece. I have had one bed for about two years, and the fleece is now worn down and scratchy. The cover is washable but not in a regular agitator-style washer. I have to take them to the laundrymat and use a front-loader. Another improvement I would like to see is a waterproof liner to protect the dog bed insert. Currently I am using a twin size mattress protector that I sort of wrap around the bed and then put the cover on. It works okay but is awkward to use.

I have a basset hound, Max, that is very cold natured. He has a dog door so he is always going outside to howl at the neighborhood. But when he comes in, he just sits over on a pillow shivering. He can't figure out how to get under pillows and blankets. Now granted, he is not the smartest dog I have ever had. But he is the sweetest and I hate to see him shivering. So I saw this pillow on Amazon and decided to give it a try.

The result? Max loves it. He immediately figured out how to use it. And now he is in it all the time. And instead of sleeping while curled up in a ball, he sleeps sprawled out inside of this pillow. All you really see is his nose or tail sticking out.

I really have not had it long enough to speak to how easy it is to clean or how it wears. But so far so good.

Here is a video of the first time he came in from outside and climbed into the pillow:

Honest reviews on Snoozer Luxury Cozy Cave Pet Bed

Researched the Cozy Bed for my cold-natured "burrower". First thing I did was take some of the foam out of it...and it was so easy. The bed has a zipper so you can take off and wash and the filler was in a zipper holder so all I had to do was unzip to take out some of the filler. Then I put her in there and she hasn't come out of it since last night. She would strongly recommend this bed to everyone out there! Also, I was pondering what size to get. She is a terrier mix and about 14 pounds, 20" long. I bought the small and and she can stretch out in it or roll into a ball!

I was really happy to see this bed, and the dog seemed to take to it quickly too. Problem is that my dog is a Dachshund who loves to burrow (reason that I bought this bed) and at first it seemed great. I moved it to my room and put it on my bed where he sleeps at night and when he got in, he moved toward the back and laid down, and that's when I stopped liking this bed.

When he tried to curl up near the back, he ended up rolling the bed so that it pointed up at around a 45 degree angle, and then it fell off of my bed with him in it. Dogs who like to burrow also like to have their backs against something, like the back on a dog bed. In this bed, the possibility exists for the dog to get back too far and tip the bid since unlike many foam-form beds, there are no sides nor back.

So, I fixed the problem, and this is how: I took out the cushion first; then I cut a couple of long strips of double-wall cardboard, around 5 1/2 inches tall and about 2/3 the circumference of the bed. I stuck them in to form a ring around the inside of the bed, and then put the cushion back in. Success! He now can lay in the bed with his back against the new wall, no tipping. I also find that he is now stretching out more since he isn't afraid of the tipping.

Note to manufacturer: this is an easy fix and you should be providing that ring.

I ordered Tinkle Belts for my senior dog. I admit I guessed at his waist size, and when the Tinkle Belts arrived (very quickly!), I discovered the belts were too small for my Jack Russell. I contacted the seller asking how I would go about making an exchange for a larger size. I got a quick response, telling me that I could keep the belts I had & donate them to a local shelter, and she would send out replacements asap! How great is that?? The belts work great...Jack doesn't seem to mind wearing them at all...and my experience with this seller has been nothing but WONDERFUL!

We were getting pretty frustrated with our neutered male yorkie who seemed to want to mark everything. This has really alleviated most of the problem and I will be purchasing more!

We were having trouble with our male dog marking/spraying around the house. We bought something similar to this at Petco and it SUCKS! This tinkle belt is SO much better. It actually stays in place and is much smaller/more comfortable than the other one we bought. We are very happy with the product and will probably order a couple more.

This is the greatest product I have ever seen for this problem with my little dog....his back legs are crippled and he cannot get around hardly at all. This has proven to be the best fit ever!! Hats off to you that was able to design such an item!

I have 9 month old weiner dog who is being as stubborn as anything about peeing in the house. I've tried everything even including wee pads (he eats them), doggie diapers (they don't stay on).

After tossing out the last of my area rugs, I found tinkle belts.

I ordered one and ...it's perect.

It stays on (I had to distract him at first so he didn't focus on it, but after about an hour that was it). And it keeps him from just wizzing away. It's like a reminder, "oh, no let's wait".

Thank you, thank you, for designing such an ingenius product!!!

I have these in my dog crates and a few scattered through the house/yard. They hold up well, wash well, and never rust. The flat side is nice against a crate/kennel. I use S-biners to hang them, which I prefer to carabiners. Dishwasher safe too. I would definitely purchase again. The 2-quart size is just right for my labradors.

I bought this pail for my dog's kennel because she had broke her plastic one.So I needed a more durable product.Well this flat sided pail was the answer. It's good quality and has no sharp edges. I think this pail is great.

Best Deals for Stainless Steel Flat Sided Pet Pail

I really like the flat sided pails as they sit on the sides of crates and cages better without having the pail tilted out to be hit. They were heavy duty enough to resist denting. The only thing that I didn't like was that the label was attached to the inside bottom of the pail and they would not come off. I had to buy a special glue remover to get it off so I could use them as I had tried soaking them, nail polish remover and a knife to scrape them off. I thought that was ridiculous. Other than that I am expecting years of use from them.

Honest reviews on Stainless Steel Flat Sided Pet Pail

Pros Good price! This really is a good pail and the flat side helps it stay place. The bonus is that it keeps my dog's ears out of the water but even better--whenever he drinks it cleans his mustache!!

Cons, Not really a con but it has to be attached to something or it would fall over. i have a plastic puppy xpen and works great attached to the side of it.

Yes I would recommend this pail to a friend

Upon receiving the Pro Select Empire crate for my dog, I was in dire need of a new water bowl that was smaller in diameter than her previous one as it no longer fit in the smaller crate with her bed.

I came on to Amazon and found this bucket and decided to see it it wold work. The flat side lies up against the wall of the crate which support it. It has a handle that can conveniently be clipped to the crate bar to prevent it from tipping over.

And the size is perfect in that her bed now fits flat in the crate. The 4 Qt size works so she does not run out of water during the day.

I am very pleased with this product.

After about two days my little puppy was ringing the bell when nature called. It was funny because you could tell how bad he had to go based on how aggressively he rang the bells. I've been diligent in making potty time not play time. If we're planning on going out and he rings the bell while I'm getting ready, we go out and go potty and then come back in and wait a while until we go back out for play. I want to make sure that he doesn't associate the bells with getting to go outside and play. So far so good highly recommended.

We have a mini schnauzer and she caught onto the bells right away. The only negative is that she rings them when she has to go to the bathroom but also when she just wants to go out and play....so the bells are ringing a lot.

These work great for my puppy to let me know she needs to go. I live in an apartment so I can hear it in each room! It was

easy to get her to use them I would just take her nose and touched the bells every time I was taking her to tinkle for about 5 days and she got it :) now she does it on her own.

I have two small dogs, the older one is not house trained and did have accidents, so when we got a new puppy I decided no matter what he was going to get house trained. I ordered the Poochie bells, they were made a lot better than I expected and I loved the design. So I got to work. I would sit at the door with Ziggy and take his paw and hit the bell and then give him cheese and praise, after a few days of this after taking his paw and hitting the bell I would take him out side and after him going potty would give him some more cheese or another treat he loved. I did this for weeks and got very discouraged he just was not getting it. Then one night I was watching TV and heard the bells, at first I didn't know what it was, I turned the TV down and heard them again, looked over at the door and there he was sitting at the door and then he did it again, took his little paw and rang the bells, you would have thought I won the lottery the way I jumped up. When my husband got home he didn't believe me so I asked Ziggy (got to go potty, ring your bell: and he did) my husband couldn't believe it worked. Ziggy lets us know now when he wants to go outside, he does want to just go play sometimes but has not had any accidents in the house as long as we are home, and the best part, even though my older dog won't let us know when he needs to go when he hears the bells he knows it's time to go outside and comes running. I ordered three, one for our house, one for our camper and one for when we visit my mom and he uses them all.....

My one year old medium sized dog destuffed this toy in under three minutes. The seams are the weak point. When I wrote to customer service about this (and directed them to posted pics of the process on my web site), I got a nasty response with a hint of threat about the posted pics that said that the toy is "not a chew toy." (The advertising said, "for dogs who chew their toys.")

I have an 8mos old border collie mix that is the strongest chewer I've ever owned. Thankfully he only chews on his toys! Unfortunately it makes if very hard for us to find things that can withstand his jaws. I was so hopeful with this one. He had the sides chewed off in 15 minutes. I'm not lying. The stuffing was ripped out before I knew it, and within this mass of white cloud was one of the squeakers which they market as being triple wrapped in "tuff" material to keep it in the toy. He really did LOVE this toy though, I'll give them that but it definitely did NOT hold up at all.

If your dog is a big time chewer, don't get this toy it just won't last. I've had the best luck with a sherpa dragon that at least lasted about 5 days before I had to throw it out.

This toy only lasted 2 weeks before my dog tore it up. Also, seller says product is guaranteed, I contacted the seller via email thru Amazon asking about the warrany/guarantee and never got a response back. I would not recommend buying this product as seller provided false information by stating the toy was indestructable and if it were to be torn up it was warrantied.

Honest reviews on Tuffy's Ultimate Bone Dog Toy

Very strong-looking toy. Appears well made. Nice plush outer shell and rugged-feeling build.

Gave this to a 9-month old St. Bernard mix. She mono-focuses on one part of a toy and works on it as long as it takes (usually a few minutes) to get to stuffing. This Tuffy toy (rated 8 on the 10 tuffy scale) was opened-up to reveal stuffing in about 10 minutes.

This toy may be for rough play time, but not for chewing. Get a hard rubber toy and leave this one for fetch.

P.S. Dog LOVES IT!

Fenway, our 5 month yellow lab chewed this to pieces in under 5 minutes. She did love the toy but it is kind of expensive for only 5 minutes. She loves the Cuz toys, they squeak and made of rubber. Hope this helps.

This toy is so cute, all of their rope toys are, and my dogs (jack Russell and blue heeler)loved it but after a half hour of play, tugging and chewing it was shredded! Maybe good for dogs who play a little less, ummm, enthusiastically than mine! Guess well have to stick to kongs!

This is a very cute rope toy. My pup hasn't played with it a ton but he likes to drag it around the house. I'll admit we haven't played a rousing game of tug of war with it so I can't attest to the total durability but it's held up to being dragged from one room to the next!
