I like this crate. It's got lots of bells and whistles. The matching bed, foldability, wheels, a handle, and a bag if you want to use it. The reasons why it doesn't get 5 stars: The garage door is sometimes a bit finicky. Not too bad, but can take more than one try to open or close. Note that the crate does not have as much stability with the "garage door" open. The crate is very stable when all doors are closed. The hubby has put the crate in the cargo area so that I can only use the garage doors, so I cannot speak as to the other doors at this time. The crate does rattle when you are driving, but a completely wire crate will rattle much more, I am sure.
That said, I've been using it for my rambunctious Samoyed puppy for 2 months (10 months old to 1 year old now) and it serves it purpose bringing him to grooming, classes, shows and vet visits. And, to make the hubby happy, the color matches the interior of the vehicle, so it was woth it getting a color that makes him happy. All in all, pleased with the item.

I was looking for a pretty large round throw pillow for the kids to put on the floor to lay and sit on. An actual throw pillow of substantial size is pretty pricey. These are a bit large for a couch pillow but for children to sit and lay on the floor they are PERFECT especially the material. Awesome for kids. Material seems to be hair and water repellent. The print is a little Christmasy but it works. I can put them on the couch or even stack them on the floor out of the way. Pretty cool!

I was at my wits end. Every time I would leave the house my neighbor would call me that the police were outside and my dogs were barking. So I engaged the services of a dog trainer that suggested the citronella collar. It was amazing just wearing the collar without activating the switch seemed to calm the dogs down. But once I started using the Anti-bark collar, no more visits from law enforcement. I've used the collar for at least 3 years and never experienced any problem with clogging. I occasionally use a violin string to keep the spray chamber clear. The refill cans are expensive but they last a long time, well worth the expense.

I use size XL for my 55lb boxer girl. Neither the XL or the L fit well straight out of the package. I also bought iron-on velcro to extend the velcro already on the diaper; It makes it fit around the legs and stay on(and in my opinion is totally necessary). I also sewed the tail hole closed since her tail was too short and incorrectly positioned to utilize the tail hole. A large probably could've fit if my dog didn't need diaper liners/pads, but with the pads you definitely need a little extra room. I use Tena Heavy and Long. They're about $10-12 for a 42 pack. In combination with the pads and the velcro, these cover-ups are great. They launder easily, and my dog doesn't mind them as much as other brands. They're lightweight and comfortable, yet do the job.

First of all I ordered a size L, for my 50 lb boxer. They were WAY too small. I sent them back and got an XL. They fit better, but still wont stay in place like they should. I am constantly having to adjust them and re-tighten them. I ended up just buying a pair of little kids underwear and putting a maxi-pad in them, that worked way better and was cheaper.Best Deals for Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups, X-Large, Blue/Black (Pack of 2)
I have an elderly border collie who has developed incontinence. These work great for saving the dog beds from having to be washed constantly.

Worked perfect for a small great dane I was fostering that went in to heat. She was small (just under 100 lbs.) so these were great for more active days in the house, but I used the XXL for night time/sleeping. I added a women's maxi pad (the cheaper ones worked better for some reason) for absorbency. Great product and I would buy more if I ever needed more. I kept 4 pairs around so I wasn't doing laundry all the time, but that seemed to be enough.Tuesday, December 30, 2014

I hate this tool. I attempted to use this a few times on my dogs, and it is worthless for dematting. I have long hair dogs, so maybe it is just not meant for long hair. I spent the extra money to get the PetEdge brand, because I've heard they are the best. However, I've seen no great difference between PetEdge, and the cheap ones you can buy at Walmart. I wouldn't recomend this product, and now it just sits in the drawer and I never use it.

My yellow lab absolutely loves this toy! It is a great size for larger dogs. Out of the many toys he has this is his favorite bar none. He takes it with him everywhere...even to bed with him at night. It has lots of squeekies and a grunter in the center. It is machine washable. I've washed it a couple of times already. I've had it for about 6 months and it has remained intact except for the ears that my lab surgically removed.

I just received my Pet Crate today and I was so impressed at how easy and well supported the assemble was just two quick snap together bars for the inside frame and it was held really really well. I have two cats weighing from 9 12 lbs and I had literally spent days searching for something large enough for both my cats to enjoy, and this was the perfect thing. I love that it folds down when not in use. And it is very well ventilated, and just perrrrrfect. Thank you. This was an awesome product for my pets and I love that it has straps on the top to carry pets back and forth in.

This crate is very well-made, easily assembled and disassembled with spring-loaded bar supports in the ceiling. Our kittens love to play in and on it when they aren't traveling and it holds up well to their little claws. It's roomy enough for both of them to ride together and they like being able to see out so well. We like the removable plastic pan in the bottom, easy to clean off after travel accidents and cover up with another soft blanket. Then it doubles as a familiar home away from home when we reach our destination.Best Deals for 30" Blue Pet House Soft Crate Carrier Large

Loved the appearance of this crate. I have a cocker spaniel and he is used to being crated. The first time I used it the nylon zipper busted. Since I'm not sure if he pushed it out or there was a 'tooth' malfunction I didn't report it. I haven't used it since because there isn't a repair for it. I'll try to push the opening up against the wall for further use. Too expensive to trash. Other reviews stated not sturdy for puppies but my cocker isn't distructive. Very disappointed, maybe a metal zipper would last longer.Monday, December 29, 2014

While many people use flexi or other retractable leads, I rather use a long line like this... nowhere near as dangerous, and it's loads easier to hold on to (no chunky handle... my hand is too small to hold onto the huge flexi lead handle, and even with this lead all bundled up, it's smaller than that)... not to mention if you drop it, the dog won't run all the way to the north pole in fear. Plus, it makes no annoying clicks or whirls (and you have no worry of having to amputate either your leg or your dog's leg if it gets tangled up in either).
I like using this as a drag line out in the park so my dog can have freedom and I can have an easy way of collecting her if she doesn't respond to a recall. It's very soft in my hands, and I have knots all through it at certain lengths so I can step on it and stop my dog, without having the leash slide under my shoe.
Also, for long walks in the country, I put a harness on my dog and hook this up to her... she's able to go ahead of me a bit or stop and sniff the flowers while I keep going. Unlike a flexi lead, she doesn't need to be constantly pulling me, so that's not an issue.
One thing I really like about this long line is that it is easy to untangle, but once you put a knot in it then that knot's going to be there forever. Something that I'm a little disappointed about in this leash is that if you let it drag on the road AT ALL, there's a little bit of wear on it, especially where knots are... so I'd suggest not letting it drop to the ground if you're walking on the road. In the grass is fine, but not on the road.

the neighbor's dog barks constantly, usually at nothing. i am convinced it likes to hear its own voice. this device seems to help. it still barks, but the barking is less. i think. when it barks, it suddenly stops, as if it was startled by something, and then there is usually silence for a minute or two.
We set the timer to kick in at a particular time of the evening, so we were not trying to control the dogs 24/7. This really did the trick. It does emit an mildly audible buzz in response to the dog, which I think is good. I cannot hear the audible buzz from inside my house, but I think the buzz annoyed the uncaring neighbor/dog owner, as he likes to sit at the back door to watch TV, and the dog barks, so he now brings the dog in when it starts its evening seranade/and the device responds.

We just bought this last night after our neighbors let us know that our dogs bark for hours when we're not home. We set it up right outside the front door and so far, it's working. We have 3 dogs of varying sizes and temperament. The largest dog with the deepest bark has had the biggest improvement; like most other people report in their reviews, we hear one or two loud woofs and then it stops. Our middle sized dog is pretty mellow, so it's hard to tell if she's affected by this but she's never been much of a barker. The little dog? Well, he's a toughie. He's got a piercing, little dog yippie bark, and we're not sure he's hearing the tone over his own barking. But, the good news is that when the big dog doesn't bark, the little guy isn't compelled to bark as much. So all in all, it's a success so far. We're worried that they'll acclimate to the tone, and will start barking again, but until then, it's a cautious 2 thumbs up!Honest reviews on PetSafe Deluxe Outdoor Bark Control

Tuffy's Junior Fish Dog Toy Reviews
These toys are literally the ONLY soft toy we can leave on the floor all the time: our pup, who tore a hole in a K9 Ballistics bed within 1.5 hours, destroys everything else but Nylabones, even the hard rubber stuff! But he loves these (we also have Tuffy's Junior Bone Dog Toy, Yellow Bones, Tuffy's Junior Square Ball Dog Toy, Pink Leopard, and Tuffy's Junior Ring Dog Toy, Yellow Bones) and will even play with them on his own. It takes about 4-8 months for him to rip open a seam, and then we can usually sew it up and he can resume play again. I cannot recommend these enough!!!
