I switched my dog to getting both his daily meals in treat dispensers a couple months ago, so that he would get more mental stimulation out of his meals and they would last longer. This mushroom is now one of our two favorite toys. It is really easy to load just unscrew the wide base, drop a cup of dog food in and screw it back on (unlike some where you have to drop small amounts bit by bit into the toy to fill it up). The dog really likes that he can pick it up by the mushroom hat it lets him carry it to wherever he wants to play with it. He can pick it up and follow me into the kitchen to see what I'm doing and then take it back into the living room or if it gets stuck against a wall he can easily pick it up and move it. It takes him a reasonable amount of time to get all the food out, but is easy and not frustrating. I also think it's a cute toy, so I like it. He has never tried to chew it to get the food out, he understands the game.

Easy to use pet toy. Keeps the dog entertained as they figure out how it works. My German Sheperd took about 10 minutes to figure out how to get the treats out. It will keep your dog occupied and makes them think, wearing them out some.

My blind dog really enjoys playing with this toy. It's hard to find stimulating dogs for a sight impaired dog that hold their interest and this toy does just that. I don't have to assist I can sit back and just enjoy watching him play with it. My dog is small so his teeth haven't marked the plastic in any way as mentioned in the other reviews. He will play with this till he hears no more treats inside or until I take it away. Takes him a long time. Its easy to fill and to clean. :) We like it here. CB

My terrier mix has a habit of tipping her bowl of food over and then eating it. This toy actually rewards her for doing it. I can put all her food in there and it entertains her for hours and she figured it out quickly. She has to work for her meals now but it keeps her mind busy and she loves it. Perfect for dogs that are food motivated and like to use their paws.

I have a not-quite-two year old brilliant dog with loads of energy and curiosity. She has recently been weaning herself out of her crate. While I have used kongs since she was a pup, she needs something more complex. I have invested in numerous puzzles for her and she figures them out quickly.

I use this product to feed her when I have to leave the house around mealtime, and when I return it's empty and she is calmly laying in wait. I hide it in various places of the house and she has to go find it and feed herself. I also use it just when she needs something to do while I'm working in my home office.

I mistakenly ordered 2, but am glad I did.

Love this little holder. The inside is just a box area so we stuff it with old plastic grocery bags for picking up the doo doo. W cave it mounted to our deck post and very stable. I dinged one star however as we had to add a little interior latch to keep the door closed. Oh... And the personalized name plate....well it's just a laminated piece of paper you send in for so was a little disappointing. Still love it regardless.

It's well constructed, but lacks any method to hang it. It also has an eye on the door, but no hook to close it. Meh. It feels half finished.

I just purchased 2 of these for my young cats so I would have something to take them to the vet in. They were delivered today and I can't believe the quality of this product. It is sturdy, well-designed and comes with step by step instructions protected in a plastic sleeve. The cats took to them right away. The designers thought of everything including a safety clip to ensure that the front flap stays zipped and Velcro patches so you can roll up the flap and keep it open so they can play in it. Our cats are 12 lbs and 13 lbs respectively, and they are just the right size for them.

We were skeptical of putting a teething yellow lab pup in a fabric crate, but when we saw this in a local store, we were impressed! Very sturdy and tight! Extemely well made.

We bought the E36, even though it was a little small for a full size labrador retriever, and we're glad we did. It's perfect for him now; he's 9 weeks old and he took to it like a den. He walks right in when he's tired. A few minor corrections about not mouthing it, along with a few great toys and rawhide chews, and he's been absolutely fine. He loves it.

It's surprisingly nice to be able to open the top as well. We can pick him right up and carry him outside after a nap.

I would recommend using a little softened bar soap on the zippers, because they're very tight. And of course, I can't recommend leaving a teething pup in it for long hours. Nor would you put an aggresive or vicious animal in this crate.

We keep it right in our bedroom and the zipper jingles when he scratches the door. We get up and lift him out and bring him to the door. Fabulous!

By the time he outgrows this crate, he probably won't need it, but I may have to buy him the larger one anyway just because he loves it!

I had looked everywhere to find this crate in the older style model which the company changed about a year ago. The description when I ordered it said it had the stake tie down straps which is specifically what I wanted to secure crates on a rack in my van for travel to shows and the pictures showed the larger mesh window areas of the older model which provide better ventilation. What I got was the newer model which doesn't have tie down straps and has smaller mesh windows. The picture still shows the larger mesh window area and stake tie down straps, which is not what the newer model has. The description has now been changed to reflect the newer mode, but picture has not been changed. Amazon should make sure their pictures and description reflect exactly what they are selling!

This brand crate is well made and holds up well as I have three of the older model this size and two of a larger size model. I do not like the changes the company made to the newer version though being smaller mesh windows on sides and no tie down straps.

Honest reviews on Firstrax Port-A-Crate E2 Indoor/Outdoor Pet Home

I recently adopted a 5 month old female German Shepherd / Doberman puppy and needed a crate to carry in the car or keep at the office, etc... I've got one of the Midwest metal crates (42") that works great but it's tremendously heavy to move around frequently!

Insert the Firstrax Port-A-Crate (36"). I'd been considering the Noz2Noz crates but was afraid that she would tear the crate apart after seeing some of the pictures people had posted online. This crate was about half the cost of the N2N crate (I got this crate for $50 direct from Amazon) and seemed to fit the bill perfectly for a worthwhile "test" crate.

Pros:

-Light weight (couple lbs max)

-Great build / fabric quality

-Easy to put up / break down

-Sturdy buckles to keep folded / closed

-Excellent ventilation without being too open like a metal crate

-Top zips open for easy access for stubborn dogs / water bowls / etc...

-Definitely gives the dog that "den" feeling

Cons:

-Soft crate is easily destroyed by a determined / untrained dog

-No removable layer on the bottom makes it difficult to clean if there are any "accidents"

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't experience any funky smells when I opened it up.

Combine the light weight with the cost and build quality and this crate is a definite winner! My roommate bought one for his dog; it's a LOT more convenient than breaking down the metal crate for portability.

I gave it the 4 star rating primarily because of the difficulty in cleaning it. It there was a removable layer in the bottom (I suppose a crate mat would help) that would make it 5 stars.

PS: The folded down crate makes a great impromptu barrier for dogs that want to go upstairs when they're not supposed to! :-)

I bought this originally as a fat cat carrier, without realizing the bottom was soft (duh). But it got put to good use, we got an 8wk old yellow lab puppy that we didn't want to leave downstairs in the crate overnight(by himself). So we put this soft crate next to our bed for him to sleep. He loves it! We just put a towel in the bottom and a stuffed animal and he lies right down and goes to sleep. He never even whined! He does try to dig and chew a bit when he wakes up, but so far he has not been able to damage it. I think its just cozy enough that he is comfortable and the top opening is perfect for me to get him in and out. I'll be looking to get a larger size one when he outgrows this one! Highly recommend!

This also works for me very well, but I had to use it for a while to get the hang of it. It's important to hold it at a 90 degree angle to the coat, brush in the direction that the fur is growing, apply a little bit of pressure and use the comb facing in the right direction. Some of our cats hate the wire brush I use, especially the one with diabetes who has tender skin, and it does seem to irritate all of them after a bit of use. The wire brush also makes noise as it passes over their fur which some of them don't like. They all seem to like this comb, it's silent, doesn't hurt, and does pull out a lot of big clumps of undercoat, leaving all five of our cats looking and feeling better than they ever have before. In fact, they like it! It naturally gets more fur out of the ones with thick undercoats, but I noticed it pulling fur out of the undercoats of the ones with thinner coats who usually don't have a lot of hair that comes out on a brush.

This comb is very small and it is a bit of a chore to get a whole cat done in one sitting. I would recommend using a bigger brush first to get out as much loose fur as possible then finish grooming with this. I have not tried the FURminator mentioned, but would still recommend having this around, too. It doesn't need batteries or electricity, it's cheap, and it's especially handy on areas harder to reach with a bigger brush or tool, ie around the haunches and tail area which seem to accumulate a lot of fur.

Other drawbacks are that it works on some parts of their bodies better than others (the sides were hard to get anything out of, as opposed to their backs) and only being able to use it in one direction can get tricky, because these guys like to turn around in circles when I comb them, so I have to do some maneuvering to stay in the right position. Nice alternative to petting in front of the tv, anyway. :)

I got mine at Walgreens.

i got this for my cat (ocicat breed). he's a short-haired cat that doesn't generally need much grooming except when the season changes. shedender worked just like the commericals. one brush and fur goes flying everywhere. it does remove hair however the teeth of the comb are not deep so the removed hair goes either flying or stays on top of the fur towards the back. as u can see in the picture the tool is small. if you have the patience and extra time (and if your pet has the patience too!) u can think about saving some money with this tool. if you want something more efficient, invest some extra money and go for the furminator instead. i bought both and compared them but i'm keeping my furminator despite the much higher price.

I dont know what the other two guys issue was with this item but I had no problem at all. I have a pug and the little guy sheds like there is no tomorrow. I bought this thing at my local mall for 9.99 and tried it out today. It was awsome, the amount of fur that came off of him was nuts, I had a pile of hair that was the size of my pug. He loved it and seemed to want more even after I stoped. I am going to assume that the other two bad reviews here are pure user error, it has to be. This item works great and I would recomend it to anyone that has a pet with a sheding problem.

Honest reviews on As Seen On Tv Shed Ender

I tried the tool and it is junk. The way the handle holds the blade, you can't control the angle and it is very difficult to use. The caps covering the screws both fell off and the handle feels hard and cheap. I tried a friend's furminator and it worked 10 times better.

What a great grooming tool! I bought it because I have three long-haired cats and always seem to be vacumming up hair. The Shed Ender got down to the undercoat, just like it claimed. I was absolutely amazed at how much fur I pulled out of their coats! I had brushed them with a regular brush before I started, and gotten very little hair off. The Shed Ender removed piles and piles of hair in fact, the pile of hair was almost as big as my cat! It took a little practice to get the hang of how to use it, but I was very impressed with the results. It takes some time to go through the animal's whole coat, but it's toally worth it!

Other reviewers said they liked the Furminator better, but it costs quite a bit more. I went to a local pet store to check out the prices of the Furminator, and the least expensive one (the smallest) was $34.95 (versus the same size Shed Ender at $9.99!). I say, try the Shed Ender first you'll love it!

I build a lot of stuff at home, so I thought I could just whip this togethernope! Anyway, after I assembled it, I AM VERY HAPPY with it. I wouldn't purchase this if you're actually trying to contain a problem chewer. It is made of recycled materials so it can't take a beating from an aggressive dog trying to get out. Although, if your dog is trained and used to being in a kennel this crate makes a very nice addition to the furniture and a comfy place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house. I would definitely recommend this.

Big dogs tend to love plush toys, but they rarely last more than 10 minutes, by which time the squeaker is broken and all the stuffing is out. When Mr. Bill says, "Oh No," my dog thinks it's a riot. He throws Mr. Bill in the air and across the room instead of ripping his head off. This toy lasted 3 whole weeks, and my dog barely put it down in all that time. I bought 5 more!

Watchout for that door Mr Bill!

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Multipet Plush Dog Toy

The actual toy lasted only a few weeks but for what it was you knew it wouldn't last longer than a rope toy with a dog that likes to chew more than some dogs.

Cons:

-the arm stuffing came out first

-the plush material got really gross with drool on the outside more than other dog toy material

Pros:

-Mr. Bill iconic soundmaker that says "Oh Noooooo!" still working great

-batting inside can be reused to make a whole new toy.

For those inclined to make their money go further and give Mr. Bill's words new life I have instructions on how you can remake this dog toy into a new one:

To reuse the soundmaker I left the soundmaker in Mr. Bill's head because the batting (stuffing) there provided pretty good protection. I removed the batting from the rest of the body and placed Mr.s Bill's head with the soundmaker inside into a long men's sock (think sock monkey). I placed more batting around Mr. Bill's head to give soundmaker more cushioning. Suggestion: it may be a good idea to use packing tape on the outside of the soundmaker itself to keep it intact (just in case you have dog that likes to chew). One sock is not enough cushion surrounding Mr. Bill's head though because holes can be made easily into just one sock layer and the jaw pressure from a dog's mouth could break the plastic on the soundmaker. Because of this, I suggest 2-3 socks (short or long on the inside) with the outermost sock long because then you can tie 2-3 knots at the end. What you have is a long body that you can draw some eyes on with permanent marker on one end of the body and the knots at the other end will be like a rope toy.

Pros from this design:

-dog can play with either end of the toy.

-person can throw toy (without much drool) with the knotted end easily.

-more stuffing= more protection for the soundmaker you wanted to reuse.

-it's easier to notice when the toy is being destroyedthen you just rewrap in another sock!
