Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I actually saw this at a pet store near my neighborhood for $65 and it was in the Green/orange color with the monkeys...and decided to review online. When I found it on here with the leopard print in pink....thought it was soo cute. I have a teacup yorkie and this is perfect for her. She is almost 3 pounds lots of room for her.

Its a really good deal and cute.

I would recommend this for small dogs...no more than 8 pnds.

This pet carrier is great, it fits my 6lb Chihuahua perfectly. She can curl up and lay down in it or just sit and look out like the queen she is. It has the safety leash inside and I do have to use it otherwise my Trixie thinks she can fly. The carrier is great quality, very pretty and will sit in a shopping cart child seat just fine. I can take her just about anywhere they allow pets or there's no food service. I also have a pet sling and I use that as well, but even though it rests over your shoulder, you still have to support the pet on the bottom. This carrier has its own support so I don't have to do that. As long as I'm not bouncing up and down and running about she is content in the carrier and I would recommend it to anyone.

I first bought one of these pails at my local pet store. It is a great bucket that I use for my dogs water. The stainless steel is holding up much better over time than galvanized buckets and of course works better than plastic water buckets which scum seems to prefer growing in.

The first ProSelect bucket I bought is pretty much flawless, however this one I received from Amazon has a couple somewhat minor flaws. One is that the bottom of the bucket doesn't sit completely flat when the bucket is empty. When I first pulled it out of the box and set it on the counter it had kind of a wobble from the way the bottom convexed outward. When the bucket is full of water however, the weight of the water flattens it back out so it's not much of an issue, just something I noticed that struck me as odd that the first bucket didn't do.

The other issue, which is a little more important, is that the handles are not mounted directly in the center which becomes an issue when you go to pick up and carry the bucket by the handle, it doesn't hang level. It causes the bucket to tip slightly to one side so if you fill the bucket to the top, some water will spill out. It is only slightly off center but enough so that it does cause a little spillage if you've filled it close to the top.

Overall, this is a nice durable bucket that serves it's overall purpose as a dog water bucket well. I have one with no flaws and one with just a couple that I thought I should mention in the hopes that the company will keep a closer eye on quality control. If I buy another one, I'll probably try the Indipets Indipets Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Pail, 6-Quart one just to compare.

I had previously written a very positive review of this bucket. But now after putting Clorox in it so I could clean my coolers. I left the Clorox in it over night so I could continue cleaning another cooler the next day.

The Clorox ate holes through the bucket and turned brown like rust.

Avoid this bucket like the plague.

I don't know what it is made out of, but it is NOT stainless Steel!

I should have read the reviews on these! About half of the chews in the bag were the thickness of a pencil. It took my dog no more than 2 minutes to chew through one of these. These sticks are probably cheaper at Petco. The only reason I ordered them was to bring my Amazon order over $25 so I could get free shipping. What a waste of money!

Flossies are the all time favorite of my Aussie and Corgi, but Flossies are expensive. Bully sticks can be foul smelling and dirty. My dogs love these just as much and there's no stink or mess in the house. I buy them when there's a 4 for price of 3 deal and stock up. If your dogs have been spoiled by Flossies, try these.These are made in USA.

I love the design and durability of the crate. However, the crate requires you to insert the two support bars at the top of the crate to prevent it from collapsing inward. You have to insert one end and push in the bar and stretch the canvas of the crate to get the bar to fit into the other end. This is a pain especially if you are a weakling.Other soft sided folding crates have a better designed folding mechanism. I would pay a bit extra and get one of these types of crates instead.

good product, light and compact. easy to take apart and transport. if you have a hyper dog (like i do), it is easy for them to tipu the cage over. my solution was to "anchor" the straps on the top to a dresser drawer, door knob, etc. also, our dog (a mini dachshund) is quite good at getting the zipper on the front open. buy a clip of some sort to keep the two zippers together.

The size was great, easy to put together and collapse but the first time we used it and left our son's dog in it (the dog was alone 15-20 min before our son came home) the dog scratched out of the front screen door and shredded it. Our son found him greeting him at the door.

Bought to contain Cat when I do not want her loose in the house & at night. Works well for this purpose. Allows her room for a corner litter box, her food & water dish as well as space for a comfortable sleeping space. Easy to collapse for traveling but truly a soft crate. Some soft crates have a tubular frame with the unit. There is no tubular framing with this unit which could be an issue if the pet likes to jump on the top of the crate. This pet is a kitten & she has adapted well to using this crate as her own safe space.

I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but it baked up nice and tall and looked just like a normal cake. If you are making a birthday or party cake you will need more frosting, but if it is just a treat there is plenty to frost the top. Move quickly with the frosting, it does set up very fast. But my puppy loves this cake! She is little, so she didn't come close to eating it all, but the price is great and it was a fun and different treat.

The yogurt icing was also easy to make, just add water. Percet item. My dog LOVED every bite and the mix makes a decent sized cake.

Best 3-in-1 DELUXE PET STROLLER/CARRIER/CAR SEAT FOR DOG/CAT Red color Deals

3-in-1 DELUXE PET STROLLER/CARRIER/CAR SEAT FOR DOG/CAT Red color
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

This item is great for mid-sized pets. I have a 9 pound tortoise that loves to ride in this carrier. I told my neighbor about this product and she bought one for herself. She loves it and her cat is 12 pounds. The top part of the carrier has 3 settings: closed can't look out, open the entire unit unzips so your pet can ride with their head out, and closed see through there is a mesh see through top that can give your animal a look outside while not allowing them to jump out.

The bag portion easily turns into a carrier by disconnecting it from the stroller from the Velcro fasteners. The stroller easily collapses by pulling on two triggers on the long bar that locks it into place. The carrier bag can also be easily secured in a vehicle using the carrier belt buckle seat in your vehicle (it does not work well with the regular seat belt with the chest cross bar, although you could maneuver it to make it fit, it is really meant for the other lap style seat belt.

It's a good stroller for around $50. The only gripe I had about it was the rear parking break on my unit kept clipping the tire. I had to shave a part of the brake off so that it wouldn't do that. Other than that, I would have given it 5 stars.

Overall, the product looks like a pet carrier and does not give the illusion that you are pushing a baby stroller.

This could be a great carrier if they fixed a couple of major problems. (These problems are big enough to rate a one star.)

The first is the break handle. It is too close to the wheel, causing it to be in the way of free wheeling. It also clicks with every spoke.

The second problem is the closing allows cats to escape. The only thing holding the front closed is the single latch in the center. It took my cats all of 2 seconds to find the escape routes and leave the carrier. I'm glad they did it before I got outside.

2/23/11 UPDATE: I did not realize one could edit their post. Having seen someone else comment about the clip/gap I want to point others to the "solution". Rather than repost, I point you to the Comment added to this posting. The instructions are at fault, but once you know how the "board" should be situated, the gap issue is pretty much resolved. I still added a little velcro, but before I found the correct way to insert the board.

ORIGINAL POST:

Shipping time was excellent, delivery beat the expected date.

The stroller and carrier are great except for one thing the front closing is only a small clip, difficult to operate sometimes, and it leaves gaps on each side that any small animal can get through, cats especially. I will have to find a way to secure it, possibly with some velcro. Other than that, this stroller/carrier is excellent, just what was needed to bring multiple kitties to the vet office. Two not-too-large kitties can fit in the large carrier which is also a plus (if they get along, two larger kitties would probably fit as well). Small dogs would also fit nicely in the carrier, probably enjoying the open air walk and would likely be less of a problem with the front gaps when the top is closed.

If the gaps were not there, this product would have gotten 5 stars.

The only other issue is the instructions leave a bit to be desired. As long as you can figure these things out, no big deal, but when it says, for instance, to assemble the rear wheels/axle by looking at the picture and no picture is provided... well...

Also, a previous comment mentions removing the carrier from the stroller via velcro straps the one I received has clips, not velcro, to hold the carrier in place. This is not a negative, the clips are sturdy and may last longer than velcro. Just noting this because the design may have changed since that review.

Number 1, The material feels like paper and in fact could rip easily. Number 2, the closure is velcro! Come on really? ... and they advertise that this is for a cat. Terrible product. A Rip-off. I cannot even return it and get my money back because i cannot find an appropriate box to ship it in. Living in NYC it would cost me more money to return it!

My wife and I bought this gate recently and are very pleased with the look and build quality. Functionally it seems to work fine, it was quick and easy to assemble, and simple enough to use. Unfortunately, the only drawback is that the walk-through opening is only 18" wide doable, but considering a 30-32" average doorway you've lost well over a third of the width for walking through. This seems to be fairly common with these gates (though that dimension is hardly ever mentioned on the box or description) and I'm sure there is some structural engineering reason why it's the case, but it's simply not comfortable to walk through. This is especially true if it has to be raised slightly off the floor as it would have to be where we wanted it, because you have to step over, and a bit sideways. Doable, but not comfortable. With a little extra engineering, it seems that the walk-through section itself could have been expandable, not just the overall width.

After an endless search for an EXTRA WIDE/TALL gate, a friend sent this link. Our lab puppy is growing by leaps and bounds and is already close to 25 lbs at 4 months old! We needed something sturdy and high enough that she would not be able to scale. Also, finding a gate to fit a 46' opening between rooms was a challenge. This gate is perfect in everyway! She has slammed into it numerous times and it hasn't budged. Additionally, there is NO damage to the 4 spots on the wall where the gate is secured. Installation was a breeze and it looks beautiful. One last thing, I know a few reviewers have commented on the 18' gate door opening. My husband, who is a larger man, moves through it without any difficulty. Overall, we are completely satisfied with our purchase.

Best Deals for The First Years Extra Tall Decor Gate

We bought this gate after our old one broke and I really wanted a walk through gate because it is used between the kitchen and living room so we are going back and forth quite a bit with our twins so we spent a little more and bought this one. The height is nice and tall and the metal is quite sturdy and attractive. It is pretty easy to install and you can choose to use tension mounting or secure it with screws. It also comes with 2 extensions for larger doorways. The opening mechanism isn't hard to use and because of the swing gate we can leave it installed and don't have to take it down anytime we need to get in and out (ie. bringing in groceries). This would also be a very nice gate to use with pets if you want to keep them out of a frequently used area or in our case two fat cats. Great gate and worth the money.

This gate is by far the most attactive and functional gate I have ever owned. It is easy to use and very sturdy. The installation is a little tricky; however, if you follow the directions, it is not that difficult. I would order another one of these gates without hesitation.

My husband and I have two dogs (one still a puppy although she is a Newfie and weights 80 pounds!) and we use these gates to keep them out of certain areas when we are not home.

We bought our first one at Target. When we needed a second gate, Target no longer carried the same color gate, so we ordered from Amazon.

The gates look nice and doesn't detract from our house like the white plastic ones. The gate doors are easy to open and walk through. Our only issue is the bottom of the gate tends to loosen itself this could be due to the fact our gates are in 46" doorways, we use all the extensions, and our doorways are fluted moulding so the surface for the tensions is not flat. That being said, the gates have never slipped out of position, even when the 80 pound puppy has laid against it.

We are very happy with the gates and would recommend the gate.

I got this today and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is, plus it is plenty big for my cats. I have 3 cats ranging in size from 6 11 pounds and was afraid that my 11# wouldn't fit so I ordered a different kind for her that cost more. As it turns out, she would have easily fit in this. Looks like I ended up spending more and didn't have to. I love the way you can put the cat in the top by flipping it open on the hinge side and then it closes firmly. Every time we would try to put one of our cats in the typical front open carrier, they all seemed to become all paws and claws! Even standing it up on one end and putting them in feet first, didn't work. They caught on to that trick rather quickly. This is so much easier! I know the other review said it was hard to open, but I think that is a good thing. I don't want it to easily flip open without a little effort on my part. This way I can feel my cat is secure until the vet or myself is ready to get her out. I am totally happy with this and like I said, could have ordered 3 and saved some money.

UPDATE 12-31-2011: We have used this several times to take our 3 cats to the vet for check ups and nail trims etc., and these carriers are definitely the way to go. So easy to use that even the vet and his staff were impressed with them. Plus, we did end up buying 2 more so all 3 cats have their own.

This carrier is NOT the one in the picture. It is a solid top do it does not have the top wire opening. No side door either. It opens like a suitcase.

I have not used product yet, but appears awkward, and unsure of how sturdy it is.

I will not return it because I would have to pay shipping and 15% of the cost of the product. If I can not use it as a cat carrier I will use it for something else. I believe it will work for my kitten, but it seems like he will out grow it soon.

While I was visiting Puerto Rico in October 1997 I fell in love with a kitten that had been abandoned. When I called the airlines to see if it would be possible to carry my new kitten on the plane WITH ME (she was too small, only 4 weeks old to go in cargo) they recommended that I buy a carrier that could fit under the airplane seat. I had not heard of anything like this, but I went to the closest pet store and asked them if they had one. THEY DID this very one for less than $20. I bought it and brought her back home with me.

Not only was the carrier a perfect fit under the seat it was a perfect size to sit on top of the seat tray so I could check on her (feed her/comfort her). PLUS I loved that you couldn't really see inside and poke around because it kept her more calm. I have had this carrier since! Nothing has broken! Anytime I had to carry her anywhere (moving, vets, pet-sitters) I used it. In her adult senior age she was used to it, and although it didn't give her a lot of wiggle room this was by far the best way to transport her. I once used a "new" carrier thinking the extra wiggle room would be appreciated but half way through the drive she peed. Sometimes less is best.

Today I am buying another one so the new kitten doesn't have to share but I still have the 1st one and I will never get rid of it.
