Review of Zack & Zoey Polyester Fleece Lined Dog Hoodie, X-Small, Gray

Zack & Zoey Polyester Fleece Lined Dog Hoodie, X-Small, Gray
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I ordered the correct size for my dog however the hoodie was too small. I should have ordered a size larger. Other than that the hoodie felt like it was made out of good material. Oh and Amazon charged me a shipping and handling fee for returning it even though it was not my fault that it didn't fit my dog.

I bought this hoodie for my Chihuahua who is about 7 lbs. I had to stretch it a bit to get it to be more comfortable in his chest/arm area. The length is very nice, however, since he's a boy he tends to pee in the hoodie if it gets unrolled. I'm going to have to do some cutting/stitching to get it just right. The bottom is more straight and not curved to be a truly unisex hoodie, so it would be perfect for female dogs without having to alter it. My dog's measurements are: Neck 9", chest 13", and length 10". The shirt is very soft and warm, and my little guy loves wearing it!

Purchased this as a shelter for a neighborhood, homeless cat. He comes to us regularly for food, but he has no shelter that we know of. He immediately gravitated to the interior for shelter from a rainstorm. He seems quite comfortable sleeping in it. Water resistant and quick drying. A little tricky to assemble but sturdy, in the end!

ASSEMBLY

Assembly was not difficult. Just make sure the "C" pole goes on the side of the floor with the Velcro flap. If you try it any other way, it will look like the poles don't fit. Guess how I know that?

Once the floor poles are in, the rest is a snap. It looks great once it's up, like it came out of the military a solid structure with rugged walls.

OVERALL

I like that the tent sits off the ground, which looks more comfortable than laying on cement. It even comes with a little padded floor.

My dog probably disagrees. I only saw her sleeping in it once. That's okay. At least she has the option of using the shelter.

If you're wondering about sizing. I was worried the medium size might be too small for my 20 pound cocker spaniel, but it looks just right. My nine year-old squeezed inside with her. It's plenty big.

I only wish my dog liked it as much as I do.

I was admittedly nervous about this product at first, but I wanted a collapsable shelter for my mid sized dog during the rainy season and this item seemed to fit the bill, but from the look of it I was skeptical that it could actually keep the rain out. Not only is my dog comfortable going into it, but often times she refuses to come back inside the house! We affectionately refer to it as her "tent" and she LOVES it.

Honest reviews on ABO Gear Outback Hound Hutt Portable Dog House

This great 'tent' style dog shelter is cool. Put it up today and our dog went right in. It is pouring down rain and she is comfortable inside. She weighs about 80-90 lbs and this fits her now but I think if you have a 100 lb. dog it would be too small. She is docile and not destructive so it will last for her. If you have a dog that might jump around inside it, they might be able to roll over in it. For me, it was a good choice and we can move it where we want easily. Our other dog house weighs over 300 lbs and cannot be moved without about 4 huge men. I am interested to see how it lasts through the rest of the summer and the winter. I am in North Carolina and would love it to hold up for at least a year.

Once assembled and in place, the hut is quite sturdy, and a good alternative to plastic or wooden dog houses, with the added plus of its portability. However, the package I received had no assembly instructions whatsoever (I contacted the manufacturer, ABO, requesting them, but was able to put the hut together before they answered); the opening of one of the structure poles was bent, and I needed to use a screw driver to straighten it out; and the tarp had two small holes on it, which I patched. Were it not for these issues, I would probably rate the hut five stars.

Ahhhh finally a shampoo that drastically reduces my pup's shedding! This really really works! I am sooooo pleased!

The ONLY remote downfall is that it kinda smells like enchiladas when you're using it but that smell goes away once you rinse your dog off...then he just smells clean! It's kinda odd but very minor in comparison to a shampoo that actually does the trick!

Note: I do have a very small dog (8lbs) so I don't know if it would be as effective on bigger dogs. Worth trying though!

I heard that dogs learn new tricks faster using clicker training than traditional methods (i.e. pushing down their butt and jerking up on the leash to get them to sit). After using these clickers, I agree. I am finding these clickers to be very effective dog training tools.

I now feed my dog his breakfast each morning a few kibbles at a time as training rewards. He has learned several new tricks quickly such as spinning in a circle on command, putting his feet up on objects that I point to, jumping over a broomstick, and crawling under the broomstick.

I love how this method involves no punishments, only rewards. Rather than being frustrated at my dog for not doing what I've asked, I've now learned to creatively think of new ways to help him understand what I'd like him to do. It really motivates my dog, and it's fun for me. I've made a list of ~50 new tricks that I want to teach my dog, and I feel that this clicker revolutionized the way I do dog training.

I also tried an older metal clicker, and I prefer the plastic Karen Pryor ones that are not harsh-sounding.

For the most part I am pleased with these clickers. Karen Pryor i Click Training Clickers with wrist bands 4 Pack When I purchased them they were $7.99 but did not come with the wrist bands which is a great addition now.

They are a comfortable fit in the hand and the button makes it easy to feel and click. The only thing I am not pleased with is the volume. I take my dog to training classes and with the noise level there or outdoors, you can hardly hear the clicker. For that reason I would not purchase again, but will continue to use these in quieter settings, like at home.

I hated the old clickers where you have to stick your finger in the slot to click. I'd always delay. But these are great. It can be in your hand any old way and you can click. You could even do it with your foot if you wanted. Great innovation, thanks!

Honest reviews on Big Button clicker with wrist band for Clicker training - click

This is a great product! Being a dog trainer I really do look for clicker that marks the behavior the instant it occurs. I have bought clickers from petco that get stuck or are hard to push down for the same price. But I got 4 clickers for the price of one. It's awesome. The big button on the clicker makes it really easy to use. I wouldn't train dogs with anything else. I bought 2 4packs. One pack for my friend who also agrees that they are way better then the ones that we have been buying from petco. They really are a great product and I would recommend them to anyone.

I bought two of these jackets for my Rottweiler and my mastiff. They are the only affordable jackets I could find for such large dogs. I do like them and do recommend them to other dog owners BUT be prepared to get out the sewing machine!

First of all the Velcro that fastens around the front isn't strong enough to stay closed on large dogs. I had to sew the front shut otherwise the jacket falls off after about 5minutes. I just slip it over the head of the dog and it's not a big deal. I'm sure sewing on better Velcro would work just as well.

SECOND The trim came undone on one of the jackets after about the 3rd wear. The mastiff stays outside while I'm at work (comes inside when I am home) so he may have snagged it on something. I Just sewed the trim back on and I expect it not to come undone ever again.

The jacket is warm and fashionable. I bought the red and blue ones.

Honest reviews on Zack & Zoey Polyester Nor'easter Dog Blanket Coat, XX-Large, Red

My pet is rather large and she is 10 years old. She has been walked every morning since she came into my life at 6 months old. Through rain, sun, snow, cold weather, you name it! It's a ritual for her and a God walk for me. I had a cape for the cold weather for her but it never really kept her warm. When I saw this coat, I prayed it came in an xxl as it would be perfect for her, I researched the site and was delighted to find that it did! I bought it and now my pet loves to wear it. When she gets up in the morning and gets ready for the daily walk she walks to her coat first. I love it as she loves it and that is what really matters!!!

I was first introduced to Benny Bully's Liver Chops at a veterinary exhibit hall. The company was giving out free samples, and when I told them I had a picky "treat-snob" dog, they handed me a pack of liver chop treats. Well, the company was correct my dog couldn't resist these liver treats.

What I like about this product: it's made in the USA, has no additives, fillers, coloring, or preservatives, and they are extremely palatable. The ingredients are simple to understand just one: Pure beef liver.

These treats are perfect for puppy obedience training for that dog who isn't food motivated even he (or she) will sit for these!

We have an English-American Bulldog mix, so he is very stocky. I got the X-Large size, and it just barely fits. I wouldn't think this size would fit an X-large dog. Also, the letters are already peeling off. It is probably easily fixable with an iron, but still, that shouldn't happen. Overall, we enjoy having our dog wear it. We get lots of comments :)

Do not waste your money. Despite there not being a single review on the entire internet about this, I took a chance. I figured for that amount of money they had to be warm and made well. The image doesnt show but the whole chest is completely open. It is very thin and frankly something from walmart would be a step up. I was so disappointed. I ordered two for Christmas for both my Chihuahuas. $80 for crap! I returned them and I am waiting on my refund. do yourself a favor, dont waste your money. Even the stitching was halfass.

Honest reviews on Fab Dog Reversible Puffer Vest Dog Jacket

Purchased this for my 3.5 pound Chihuahua, Gigi. I was a little hesitant because the price was high ($48). Living in the ski resort town of Park City, a warm jacket is necessary for a small dog. I'm so glad I purchased it! I bought the 8" length and it fits Gigi perfect. Gigi gets compliments wherever she goes. When I purchased it only the purple/black was available. I like the color, but now that pink is available I may be getting Gigi a second one!

Best Orange Crinkits Interactive Dog Toy Deals

Orange Crinkits Interactive Dog Toy
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
One of my contacts in the rescue world pointed us toward Crinkits I immediately ordered two based on her rave reviews and have not been disappointed. Our dogs have a love for empty plastic bottles and the noises that they make anyway, so this was already "up their alley" as far as toy interests.

The rubber casing that fits around the water bottle is not indestructible but the couple nibbles they have taken out of it has not impacted the fun they have playing with it. It is sturdy and, with a bottle inserted, can be chewed on without being chewed up. Follow the directions and use a little soapy water to make it easier to insert the bottle (and insert neck first or they may find a way to remove it).

Our dogs have had this toy since early spring all 3 of our dogs are large and one includes a major chewer (our Pit Bull). They love this toy and we have been pleased with it, as well!

This toy is the best!! Once my dog got this, she actually started walking herself, feeding herself, and picking up her own poop! I thought it was a miracle, but then I realized she just really appreciated me getting this toy for her and as a token of her appreciation finally started pulling her own weight around the house!! I can't garuntee that you will have the same spectacular results that I did, but the worst thing that will happen if you buy this is your dog will be entertained for hours!!

Best Deals for Orange Crinkits Interactive Dog Toy

My dogs loved it from the moment they tore open the box! They tend to play keep away, then tug, with new toys and the Crinkit was no exception. They played with it for over 15 minutes, and were both completely exhausted when they finally stopped.

For reference, my dogs are both about 75-80 pounds. They have very strong jaws and enjoy playing crazy games of tug. I've uploaded 3 pictures of them with the Crinkit.

They have had their Crinkit for over 3 weeks. Thy play with it on a nearly daily basis, and until last week's incredibly strenuous game of tug it did not show any signs of wear. It now has 2 small rips along the body of the toy, but I will not be taking it away because they enjoy playing with it.

I am very impressed with the quality of the Crinkit, and will be purchasing another one for them. Very few toys can survive a game of tug between two 80 pound labs without being destroyed! I am going to order a blue one, that we can play fetch with in Lake Michigan on our walks this summer (blue is an easy color for dogs to see). I also plan to order a small Crinkit for my brother's pug/terrier mix.

Honest reviews on Orange Crinkits Interactive Dog Toy

This toy appeared to be sturdy, and the idea is clever, but my dogs had absolutely no interest in it, and nothing I did persuaded them to even accept it from me and hold it in their mouths, much less play with it. I tried periodically for a couple of days and then finally returned the Crinkits. I had saved the mailing package, the paperwork and the two tags that were attached to the toy, so there was no problem the seller was very cheerful and cooperative.

I must say that neither of my dogs plays with noise-making (or other) toys much at all (except for stuffed toys they can chew open and unstuff), so it's not surprising that they didn't like this toy. Your dog's interest in toys might be a good deciding factor if you're considering buying this item.

OUR LABS ARE NOT WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER HEAVY CHEWERS. HOWEVER, IN LESS THAN 20 min. ONE OF THEM HAD CHEWED OFF NUMEROUS SMALL PIECES OF THIS PRODUCT. I FOUND MOST OF THE PIECES BUT SOME WERE INJESTED. LUCKILY, NO ILL CAME OF IT.

This is a great concept but the material it's made of is far from ideal. If I could give this product a negative rating I would. Now, how do I get a refund?????

As far a a toy that does seem to last, try the Bionic dog toys. So far neither dog has put a dent in the two Bionic toys we have. That is not to say these toys are fool proof, only that mine have not been able to even scratch them.

Once I figure out how to attach photos I'll post them on this review.
