I have been using the fountain for a few weeks now.

It holds 2.5 gallons of water, I use bottled water to fill it because that's what we drink, so I'm not worried about the filter replacement. In fact.. I don't think the filter is all that useful or purposeful. (A regular charcoal filter that the water flows around) honestly.. I don't think I'll every buy a replacement.. using bottled water as I said I feel it's not really necessary!

Once a week I clean it out.. I did not buy the cleaning kit, again doesn't seem necessary. I use the hose sprayer on my small kitchen sink to turn it upside down in and spray every crack & crevice with our hottest tap water setting for a few minutes. Works great, no scrubbing necessary.

The flow rate adjustment is great too.. fast flow or slow.. .the slow setting makes the least water trickling sound, we don't even hear it, and the fast is like any soothing home water fountain.

2.5 gallons lasts our pack of 2 medium 1 large dogs, and 2 housecats about 1 week.. I may add a little to the bowl before the week is over now that its summer but not much. I let it run down a bit low and then clean it.

I would recommend buying it, and may buy another for our covered outside area as well.

We have 3 Scottish Terriers and they LOVE this thing! Scotties love fresh, running water to drink, but don't like getting water in their face. With this fountain, they get the fresh, filtered water they like, without having to worry about it getting in their face. The filter also helps clean out the debris they bring in on their beards! The large reservoir means I am not constantly refilling their water dish. I would highly recommend this product.

I've been very pleased with this fountain. I placed it beside my "Catit" cat fountain, which needs refilling less often now-I'm assuming because my big dog prefers the Big Dog fountain. My cats also like it, sometimes to drink from, sometimes just to watch. I like that it holds a lot of water. It's a bit noisy, I hear the water running all the time, that might bother some.

Honest reviews on Drinkwell Big-Dog Pet Fountain

We've had this thing about a week now. It's definitely got our older dog drinking more water, which is why we got it.

It's not quite as great as I hoped, though. For one thing, I don't see why they didn't make the reservoir larger. We still have to fill the thing up once a day or so (though we'd have to do this at least as often with our old water bowl). They could have easily doubled the size of the water reservoir without making it awkwardly large.

For another thing, the water tastes good to our dogs, but it looks kind of unappealing. I somehow hoped that since the water was pumped through a filter continuously, it would be crystal clear. It's free of hair, but it has an enormous floating island of drool on it. The problem is that the water intake for the recirculation is on the bottom of the basin, but since drool floats on the surface, it just builds up until you skim it off or clean the thing out. I'm sure they could have designed it so that some of the water intake came from the water surface. But like I said, the dogs don't mind. The water is much less gross than our water bowl would get (besides the floating drool island).

The third thing about it that could be better is that it's not super quiet, even on the slowest setting. It's not that bad though; we have it in the kitchen, and we never turn the thing off. It's a bit of white noise that doesn't interfere with watching TV in the living room or anything. But if you're concerned about noise, you should be aware it'll make some.

Despite these quibbles, I still give it 4 stars. It gets our dog drinking more water, which is good for him.

One last thing -the instruction manual makes a big deal of cleaning out its various parts weekly. I think buying the brush kit (and some extra filters) to go with it is a good idea, instead of having to go back and have a second set of things shipped to you the next week (if you don't have a pet store local that sells the extras for this thing).

Though this isn't a must have item by any means, we do have a big Golden Retriever (we actually own two Goldens) that has always preferred drinking from a stream of running water (like a faucet or the water pouring from a bottle, etc.) and we do spoil our dogs sometimes... So out of curiosity I ordered this thing. Well when it arrived, I disassembled it and washed everything and then re-assembled... I figured this would be good practice and allowed me to evaluate the design and fit. Filled it with water and turned it on... HUMMMMMM!!! ...LOUD!!! LOUD!!! LOUD!!! this thing hummed sooo loud it could be heard two rooms away and even faintly from another floor. It was Friday evening so I had the weekend to play around with the thing. Everything I tried did nothing to quiet the loud humming of the little aquarium pump motor. I figured this canNOT possibly be right... they've probably sold tens of thousands of these things by now and no way would they have been able to do that if they all sounded this loud. So first thing on Monday I called the seller, who immediately agreed with me that something was not right, it should be very quiet. I was given the phone number of the manufacturer's customer service. After a nice conversation in which they also agreed something was not right with my unit, they sent me out a new motor/impeller at no charge. It took a week and a day to get to me. After I installed the new motor/impellor... TADA!!! no more hum. This thing is very quiet... now all I hear anymore is the gentle trickling of the water stream, hooray! ...its actually a kinda relaxing sound. The moral of the story here is... its not suppose to be loud and if you have a unit that is, just complain and ask for a new motor/impeller.

Bottomline is this is a great product... excellent design and fit. And this Big Dog fountain really is big and holds a lot of water... enough for days without having to refill it. One trick to keeping it cleaner longer is we have a separate SS water bowl next to the food dishes at dinner time so they drink out of that bowl immediately following dinner, that way all the food/kibble junk falls into the stainless bowl which we pick up soon after dinner and dump out. This keeps the Big Dog fountain from fouling up and so we don't need to wash it very often... in fact, we only wash it once every couple of weeks.

I had to rate it at only 4 stars because of the original motor's noise... and thus all totaled, it did take more than a week to get it working properly as it should have... and that inconvenience alone has got to cost it a star rating.

Great product! I taught my puppy how to use this in one day. I did say use, she learned how to press the button on command. It took about two weeks to get her to push the bell to go outside. Patience is key when training your dog with this. It works like a charm now! Actually the dog not only uses the bell to let us know that she has to go out, she presses it when she feels like she is not getting enough attention! Sometimes it backfires, but it is pretty funny! I would recommend this product.

I found this product while looking for a bell to hang by the door for my dog. Ours is a sliding glass door with no knob, so this looked like a good option. After reading all the reviews for the Tell Bell and all the reviews for the Koolatron pet doorbell set, I realized I already had something that might work: the Staples Easy Button, which is available on Amazon for $9.98. It works basically the same way as the other products; it just says "that was easy" when my dog steps on it, is battery powered and does not require a transmitter/receiver. It also has 4 rubber feet on the bottom, which helps it stay in place on our tile floor. My 11 week old Airedale Terrier puppy, after a few minutes of "clicker training" (books, videos and clickers also available on Amazon) learned to use it today. Granted, that probably wasn't how the other products instruction manuals suggested training your dog, but it seems to have worked for us. Now to get him to figure out to only step on the button when he needs out to do his business, not just for fun and treats! I think he'll get it in no time. If you're really enterprising and would like to customize what the recording says, I also found a great web site that gives step-by-step instructions on how to record your own ("gotta go, gotta go," "Rover needs out," "Oo, oo, oo," or whatever). See . If I hadn't already had one of these, I probably would have gone with the Tell Bell.

Pros: awesome idea for a product, works great and love love love that it is weatherproof

over all works great but did take some adjusting for the dog to get used to. batteries last surprisingly long amount of time in the cold months

Cons: i wish the whole unit was a button b/c our dog had trouble pressing the one specific place

and in really cold weather (South Dakota gets into the negatives a lot) the outside unit (we have one both inside and out) tends to freeze up which stinks for our dog who is stuck outside for a little longer until we realize what is going on. just something to think about if you live in a blizzardy tundra but this doesn't happen often.

and it could be a little less cheesy but what do you do overall product works great our dog loves it and overall I love it!

Honest reviews on Pet Doorbell Complete Set

As cute as this is and it is such a good idea, just don't waste your money. We have 6 paws and 3 receivers as we kept replacing them as they are unreliable. We were desperate to keep the giant Newfoundland from jumping and scratching the wood door to get in. All the problems others talk of we had too, paw sticks, doesn't work reliably in cold WI winter, grit may inhibit depressing paw. Since our dog's paw is soooo big she had no problem hitting the unit. She learned quick too. I've got to find another answer now as we just painted the doors.

The main issue for us is for the dog to let us know when she wants to come back in the house without knocking and destroying the door. It has to be something that we can hear while we are in other areas of the house. If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks and woof woof!

This is complete rubbish. I bought it from Walmart so was at least able to return it when it didn't work.

I took it out of the package, installed the batteries, and the button worked about 5 times. Then it stopped making the receiver chime, although I had not moved it. Then suddenly, out of the blue, the receiver began chiming non-stop for no reason. That stopped but then it would just randomly go off until I finally removed the batteries and returned it.

The paw is cute, but it is light and my dog would wind up moving it all over. Also, my dog is trained to touch on command, but she had trouble with the idea that she had to touch only in one specific part of the paw. That I could have worked out, if the bell had worked, but it still seems like poor design.

I needed something weather proof, which is why I tried this despite many bad reviews. If you just want to train your dog to ring something to go outside, then I recommend a very simple non-mechanical bell. My dog is trained to ring some windchimes that hang on a hook next to the door and that works wonderfully. The problem I have is training her out of scratching at the glass door to come back in. I have now purchased a $19 wireless doorbell at Ace Hardware that rings loudly and consistently and stuck the push button onto a rock to make it heavy. It's a small target to push, but that just means some extra training time. At least it works.

Best Stainless Steel Hanging Pet Bowl Deals

Customer Ratings:

I like the idea of these more than the end results. The fact the bowls slip out of the hangers is nice for refilling, cleaning etc. However, I did note that the entire unit has been knocked off the side of the crate more than once (I did not have the bowl knocked out of the hanger as another reviewer noted though). I also found, after buying four bowls, that some hang more evenly/horizontally than others and it is not consistent bowl to bowl. I do plan to try to bend them back to horizontal (they were made inconsistently it is not shipping damage or anything) I am just not sure I expected to have to do that. I don't think it is a crate difference since all four hang at different angles in the same spot.

A side note of sorts I have also noticed that the cat on the outside of the crate can easily reach in and grab things out of these since now the food is conveniently hung in a stationary position up against the bars. Just an FYI if you have animals both in and out of the crate and are trying to keep them from eating each others' food for whatever reason.

I purchased this 3 years ago, and for 5 bucks and free shipping..I must say this is one of the best purchases I've made for my dog. I've spent more on toys she's ripped up in 2 seconds. I also purchased the 8 ounce for my cockatiels cage when I had birds, and it worked well for them also.

I purchased the 16 ounce for my 20lb pug mix for water. She does not tip this over and spill it beause she is calm in her crate, and I also place it lower in the corner in her wire crate, and not on the door! That's usually where I see other people place their bowls and that's usually the cause of spilling. Even when she was a puppy, I did not have an issue with it besides probably once or twice and accidents happen so it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I like this better than the bowls that have the 2 screwing plates because it's so easy to move this around and take it out quickly if necessary. I honestly wouldn't be worried about purchasing due to tipping it over. Once a dog does it a few times, and it is placed correctly in their crate they will learn to be careful. Just like dogs don't like to lay in their urine, they probably won't like laying in water either...unless they're doing it on purpose, trying to tell you they're hot.

As most know, stainless steel is much better than plastic because plastic harbors bacteria. I haven't seen any ceramic hanging bowls, since stainless steel is lighter and cannot break...so this really is the best bowl to purchase, hands down. I almost bought a new one because of hard water rings that I couldn't seem to scrub off with simple dish soap and a rag...but if this happens just use vinegar! Let it soak and it comes right off, and is safe for your pet.

I use to just transfer my dogs first bowl into her travel crate but at this price I just purchased a second one, and I will be buying another to leave at the cabin as well. Definitely get if your looking to buy a crate dish.

This is a perfect little bowl for Lola my greyhound crate. I only want to leave a little water for her when I go to work so she doesn't get to thirsty, but not enough that she would suffer to potty before I get home, and this little bowl is perfect. Very good quality and I would recommend this as a crate bowl or a travel bowl.

I purchased two of these ProSelect 8-oz bowls to replace my pyrex measing cup & 20 oz dog food bowl for my yorkies crate. These hanging pet cage bowls take up considerably less space and seem to be made of great quality. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Date: 6/11/13

Pet: Yorkie, 11 months old, 8.5 lbs

Cage: LxWxH 24x18x18 in

Pros:

+ Quality

+ Small size

+ Price

Cons:

Not ideal for vertical bar cages. Use paracord, zipties, or rope to resolve this

Some people will complain that the bowl is easily displaced. That is entirely upon your dog's behavior & not the product IMO.

For any of you who have struggled with powder formula products to stop the bleeding while trimming the nails of your dog and you accidentally hit the "quick" this product is for you. The Benzocaine is an added bonus because it provides pain relief as well. I will never use powder blood stoppers for my dogs again now that I have this gel product.

This is the best stuff for stopping toe nail bleeds. The powders that are available just can't do the job and over time the powder clumps and hardens. This gel is always ready to go. It can be messy and will stain so be careful. But other than that, it is wonderful.

I purchased these along with a set of clippers. I was so nervous, never having clipped my dog's nails before and kept this at the ready. I have to say, I nicked the kwick on the very last nail and it started bleeding a tiny amount. I grabbed this product and applied it and held a towel to it and within about 30 seconds the bleeding had stopped so I'm really pleased with this stuff.

We have 3 pugs and this gel is excellent if you hit the kwik. It stops the bleeding immediately. It is a must-have!

We cut our dogs' nails every 1 to 2 weeks and occasionally cut too close normally we use the Kwik-Stop powder but I decided to give this gel a try. Not my best idea. The powder soaks up the blood and clots it (and like this gel, it also has benzocaine for numbing), while this gel is just messy. By its gel nature, it doesn't soak up the blood like the powder does, and if it clots it takes way longer than the powder does. The squeeze bottle for the gel makes it easy to apply, but the gel doesn't work as well for us as the powder does for clotting the tip of the nail.

Tropiclean pet shampoo is all natural and the bottle is made of sustainable, recycled materials. I really liked the scent of this shampoo, it's supposed to be berry but the coconut smell comes though strongly as well. A little bit of shampoo goes a long way and laters well and there's quite a lot in the bottle. It did a great job cleaning the fur but was slightly drying. My cats smelled like berries and coconut for days!

Best Deals for Tropiclean Natural Shampoo Berry Clean 20oz

I purchased this product looking for a shampoo for my dogs that would leave a longer-lasting scent after washing. After reading the reviews on this product, I decided to go for it. While I absolutely love the initial scent, that fact that it is a completely natural product, and that it lathers beautifully, the scent is gone just as soon as you rinse your animal. We have a short-haired boxer/boston terrier mix, and she usually holds a scent for awhile with other shampoos. After washing her with this shampoo, although her coat was nice and shiny and clean, she didn't have any scent at all. I guess that would be a positive thing for people who are sensitive to smells, but again, this isn't what I was looking for. Good prodcut overall though. P.S. My husband did comment that he hated the smell, and that it reminded him of cherry cough syrup. LOL

NFL Green Bay Packers Pet Jersey Review

Customer Ratings:

This item apparently came from Petco. Beware of Petco's return policy!

I ordered a large thinking "large" dog. There were NO descriptions that clarified what size dog this jersey would fit. When I recieved what I was hoping to put on a lab mix, I received a jersey that I'm not sure would fit on a beagle. I tried to return it and got a response from Petco saying I could return it to the nearest Petco for a refund. I live nearly 2 hours from any Petco or any other major stores, that's why I use Amazon for my shopping. I explained to them in another e-mail that I would spend more in gas than I would get for the return. I got two very conflicting responses, see below.

First Response which I thought was above and beyond since I had offered to pay return shipping:

"I sincerely apologize for the delay in this email response. I have requested a full refund from our Upper Management for Amazon.com Order #103-7067831-3218656 and you should be able to receive a confirmation email once processed. It should post to your Amazon account in 3 5 business days. Please keep the product or donate it as we will no longer be picking it up."

Second Response which I'm assuming was the last one I will receive. I was not very happy about as we were back to square one:

"I hope this doesn't pose any inconvenience to you. Our Marketing Department have verified that we sent out the correct item on your order and we regret to inform you that the refund request has been denied."

My argument was never that they sent me the wrong item, my dispute was that the item was not adequately described. Had they stuck with their first response, I would have continued to shop at Petco, and would have recommended everyone I know with pets do the same. However, seeing them do an about face as they have, I will never recommend them, nor will I continue to shop there myself.

Now I'm setting out to see if I can find a small terrier, or such dog that I can give the Jersey to, since my return was denied.

I also learned that Amazon who normally has the most fantastic return policies I've ever seen, does not really support you when you order from other stores on their website. I was not very happy about that as well.

I don't think anything could be much cuter than my Yorkie, Fred, in his Green Bay Packers jersey! I will upload photos once my camera battery recharges, but trust me, the sight of Fred showing his support for the Green and Gold is in the realm of cuteness overload!

Now for the nitty gritty...yes, my dog is small. He weighs 3.7 pounds, but has some length to his body (he measures 10" from base of neck to base of tail). If you are looking for a shirt for a tiny teacup, this is probably going to be too large. It is just a hair too long for Fred, but not bad and the raised tummy hem is raised just enough to accommodate Fred's...ummm..."package." I don't think it would be that big of a deal to hem and for the price, well-worth a few stitches.

The graphics on the jersey are perfect and high-quality would they survive hot water washing and tossing in the dryer? Probably not and care instructions are to hand-wash in cold water and tumble dry on low which I will be doing to ensure Fred many years of cheering on his favorite team!
