This leash is very cute and matches the Patriots collar. However, it is very light so be aware of that if you have a dog that lunges or pulls.

This is a nice, sturdy six foot long dog leash. The New England Patriots logo design is instantly recognizable and looks great. This is a solid, not flimsy product and very neat if you are an avid fan of a professional sports team.

I love this gate. I was so worried about how I was going to contain my toddler while at the same time not having to constantly let my dogs in and out of the living room. Be very aware, this gate is pressure mounted. I would never use it to block a set of stairs as it can be moved if enough force were pushed against it. (I doubt that my daughter could accomplish that if she ever tried, but I would never risk it.) We use it across a doorway, and it is perfect.

We have miniature pinschers and they can get through with no problem at all. When we bought it, I couldn't find the dog door section of the gate dimensions anywhere, so here they are: 7 inches wide X 10.25 tall. It is large enough for a small baby to fit through if they are determined, so you have to pay attention to that if you have a crawler maybe under the age of one (or just a very small toddler). The dog door section does lock closed, so I just lock it if I don't want the dogs running around or have my back turned from the baby while working on something, etc.

Overall, the gate is sturdy and has a decent look to it (as decent as having a gate in your house can look!). The doorway that you walk through is plenty wide, and the locking mechanism is simple to use. There is a main bar that you press down, then a secondary slide can be attached for more security. My toddler has not figured out the main bar section yet, so that is all we lock at this point. If I only have that part locked, I can easily unlock it with one hand while carrying a sleeping child in my arms.

I purchased this gate for the top of my stairway to keep my 10 month old from falling down the stairs. We also have 2 cats that need to be able to get down the stairs to their litter box. We couldn't use a standard gate as that would trap the cats up stairs and I was afraid that they might start using our bed as a litter box! Yikes! This gate solved all of our problems! We can close the gate for the safety of our daughter and keep the small pet door open so the cats and come and go as they please. It's a good quality product but if you are using it for a child, be sure to get the tension really tight against your wall so they aren't able to pull it down. If you have the need for a quality safety gate and also need the pet door function, I highly recommend this gate.

This is a great gate for keeping my smaller dog away when needed without having to lock him away in a kennel. Unfortunately, it did not work quite as well for my Lab. Previously we had a gate with the little squares in it and she was able to climb it. So, we specifically looked for a gate with the long slats, but did not think about the little dog/cat door which allows her to give herself a boost, lol. Definitely no fault of the product, more due to the problem of having a dog too smart for her own good, lol.

I have the gate set up in the walk way through to the kitchen, so I am able to lock myself in to cook without tripping over dogs or I can lock them in if we have company so they are not jumping all over them. I just can't use it to keep the Lab contained if we leave the house, for the reason above. If you have a larger dog, I would definitely suggest trying to find one without the small dog/cat door if you are planning to use it to keep them contained while you are away from home. Or.. you may come home to find them all comfy on the couch that is off limits.

All in all, the product is nicely made. Keep in mind that you will have to make sure to adjust the gate if you happen to trip on it or give it a good bump. Otherwise, the door will not close and latch properly because it is no longer in alignment.

The only thing I did not like about this gate was that it does have to be screwed into the wall and I thought I was purchasing a gate that used tension. I believe this is only a personal preference though, so in my opinion I do not believe this qualifies for any negative marks on the product itself.

Honest reviews on CARLSON PET GATES 916039 Extra Wide Walk Through Gate with Pet Door

I had the same experience as a few other reviewers. I found this gate through the baby store, looking for a gate that would allow my cats through the house while keeping my baby away from the stairs. The first few reviews from other moms were positive and I ordered it. Yes, I should have realized from the NAME that it's actually only a Pet gate. But it didn't mention it anywhere in the details and I didn't really look at the product name, just the picture. So I was surprised and annoyed when I got it and opened it to read FOR PETS ONLY; NOT A BABY GATE, etc. I had the box sitting in my garage for a few months too before opening it, not really needing it until my son started to crawl. Thus I couldn't return it and thought I'd try it out and see if "fatal injuries" could really be caused by this gate or if the manufacturers were just legally covering their butts.

It works fine and I like it. It's a great pet gate. As a baby gate it's not the strongest, and my son knows how to open it now at 20 months. Also, it requires two hands to open rather than one, which isn't easy when holding a small child. Yes, he's stuck his head through the pet door once, but didn't injure himself. He just called for me to get him unstuck and that was that. He hasn't tried it again.

I'm not sorry I kept the product. A decent gate at a decent price.

We needed a gate that would keep the baby in, but let the cats out. The only issue I have with this is gate is that the bottom attachment to the wall is so low that our molding interfers with it, we had to raise the gate about 4 inches, creating a trip hazard. You just have to remember to step over the bar when going in and out. Otherwise, the gate is sturdy, the locking function can be opened with one hand but is too tricky for our one year old to figure out, and the pet door is big enough for our cats to wander in and out (even our 25 pounder) but not big enough for baby. She's stuck her head through it, but there's no way she could get the rest of herself through the gate. A couple of the previous reviews stated that this gate is a tension gate and could be knocked over we have ours screwed into wall studs, you would have to exert some serious force to knock it down, I don't think our 23lb one year old could manage it. She hangs from it and shakes it sometimes, there's a little give, but it's not going anywhere, for sure. Also, someone mentioned something about there kid figuring the gate out our daughter has watched us open it and I've seen her fooling with the latch. I know that she knows to slide the red bit back and lift the latch, however, it really takes adult hand strength to pull the red piece back. I don't think a kid under maybe 3 or 4 would be able to physically open the locking mechanism, but again, I can pretty easily manage it one handed. It's a pretty well engineered design. There aren't that many options for baby gates with pet doors, but this is a good one.

EDIT: Since writing the above review my husband watched our now 14 month old crawl through the pet door. We now keep the pet door closed and let the cat in and out (one can jump over the top but fatty cat needs to be let in and out).

My miniature dachshund can usually destroy a toy like this one in a couple of hours but this thing really lasts. I was worried about the Velcro closure but it seems to be really strong, she still has not managed to get the squeaker out. AND it comes with an extra squeaker which is a big plus in my book. Definitely worth the price. This toy is even better in real life and has a mix of textures for dogs to chew on. For example underneath the duck's "wings" is a sheepskin type of fabric. Fun.

I recently purchased a few of these nearly indestructible toys for our beagle and our american bulldog puppy. They play very rough with these little animals, including playing tug with them several times a day, and they are still in one piece!! I love that they don't have any stuffing in them, so there are no white fluffy pieces flying around my house after a day of play! Plus the extra squeakers that come with each animal are a huge help! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

Our 23 pound medium golden doodle manages to destroy all stuffed toys, so we were excited to hear about this toy as it sounded more durable. However, she managed to pull apart the nose and pull all the stuffing out in under 30 minutes. So it's not as durable as it seemed. Great toy though, but it's not a toy for aggressive chewers.

Honest reviews on KONG Duck Dog Toy, Small, Yellow

I bought this toy for my dog on a whim (because I wanted to get free shipping) and so far it has been great. She is a small dog so it is just the right size for her. Also, unlike many of her other toys, she has not destroyed it yet. It also comes with an extra squeaker that you can put into the back of the toy if the other one breaks (there is velcro that you open to put it in). So far so good!

I bought a few of these toys and each one of them my Teacup Chihuahua who weighs in at 4 pounds has taken the stuffing out of them all.One or two of them she had the stuffing out in less than a day the others in a week.

She still enjoys the outter shell of these toys and for that I give it 3 stars.

These boots keep my dog's feet from freezing due to salt on the sidewalks. The velcro straps keep them securely on her feet. I can see how they might wear out if the dog is constantly walking on concrete, but I bought them mostly for snow.

The shoes are of excellent quality. With a zipper and velcro straps, the dogs can't get them off. The rubber sole makes it all-weather. HOWEVER, the design of the boot is poorly thought out. A dog cannot lay his paw flat when in this shoe. If your dog is not putting weight on his foot when you are putting on this shoe, it is impossible to put on properly. They may work if your dog is very comfortable with having his/her feet handled, but even then it is a gamble.

So, they have a zipper and these velcro straps you wind up the dogs boot once you have it on...except they slide down CONSTANTLY and it takes forever (a lot fo sweating and cursing and dog chasing) to get them on, just for them to slide down.

Before I even put them on my dog's feet , the zippers were very hard to open two of the zipper pulls came off. But otherwise they are fine. A little hard to keep the leg hair out of the zipper but the neoprene tongue helps.

Overall I would have to say this door is a well thought out design. That being said, I would like to meet the boob (engineer) that designed the thru-wall mounting screws!First off the threaded inserts that accept the thru-wall screws are only press fit into the frame. Mechanically, this is poor design, the inserts are only being held in by friction from a relatively thin piece of aluminum.It would be a much better design if each side of these pieces had a shoulder on each side of them. Two popped out during installation and had to be JB Welded back into place! The other brain-fart comes in the form of the actual screws. They are designed to be used on walls of different thicknesses so in order to fit it to your wall you may need to cut them to length, fine. The problem is the screw heads thread onto the rods, when tightening the screws the area with the least resistance is the screw heads. The heads actually spin instead of the stud spinning and threading into the other side, eventually the stud inteferes with the head causing your screwdriver to cam-out! VERY FRUSTRATING!!! This problem also can be easily solve if the company provided a thread locking compound. I was out of loktite so JB Weld to the rescue again. These problems, although minor, added a lot of unexpected time to the install. Please note, I am NOT bashing this product, I actually would recommend it. The design of the flaps is far superior to the standard Johnson type flap we had. I think the door will serve us well for many years to come, I just wish they would correct these minor flaws. If you do buy it make sure you've got some thread locking compound and an adhesive suitable for those inserts should the come off, good luck!

I have used dog doors for many years, and have always installed them myself. This is the fifth different brand/style of dog door that I have used. It is not the easiest to install, nor the most difficult. I will say that it would be easier to install the door with a helper. I did it alone. Lining up the long screws proved to be quite a challenge, but do-able. You should be somewhat handy, or get the help of a freind that is.

Once the door is installed it is truly the best. Mine has been in use for about a year now. Because of the location of my door I have always had problems with the wind blowing it open. No more. This door seals and seals well. Strong winds do not move it. It also insulates much better than any other door that I have had. 101 degree heat or below freezing, the door does not 'leak'. I no longer feel a large temperature difference near the dog door. In the past I have used single piece flaps and two part flaps, flaps with magnets, flaps with 'brushes'. None have sealed or held up as well as this door.

Other doors usually have screws holding the flaps in place. Over time the movement of the flaps causes the screws to loosen or fall out. The unique hinge system on the Endura door eliminates this problem. So far, the flaps are not showing the wear that I have seen in other doors: no warping, no cracking, no stiffening or discoloration.

Both of my dogs are used to dog doors. The double flap Endura did not take much adjustment. I removed some of the magnets for the first couple of days, to reduce the amount of pressure required to open the door. I quickly (day three or four) replaced all the magnets in both flaps and the dogs fly through with no issues.

Finally, I am impressed with the locking cover. I have had a dog open a 'locked' Johnson Pet Door in the past, the metal 'locking' cover just bent and popped out of the frame. Neither of my dogs have been able to come through the Endura when I put the cover on.

I have recommended the product to freinds, and will continue to do so.

The door clearly gets five stars for being the best ever door once installed. If I were to rate only the installation, it would get a three. Installation of this door is average difficulty compared to others that I have done. I can't let installation influence my overall rating, though, as I don't think you can find a better door for durability, insulation and security.

We have large dogs along with cats. We do not want the cats outside. How do you accomplish this?

I was resigned to complicated electronic solutions, which would require our dogs to each wear collars. We'd also have to maintain batteries in collars and in the electronic door system. And they are not foolproof, if you read the reviews. Some of these electronic dog doors cost over a thousand dollars! Yikes.

I resisted buying these things, and came across this dog door. Sounded great. The larger sizes with double flaps can be costly, but the medium to small size was more reasonable. In addition, the description promised a high-quality construction with solid materials. I've had other dog and cat doors, and this alone would be worth it; just tired of crappy plastic stuff.

This is a great door. Installation was a breeze. And the doors themselves are very solid. I would call them commercial grade. I was very pleased when I pulled them out of the box and saw how substantial they were. Any plastic is not structural.

We bought the double flap. This means instead of one frame with a flap and one frame without a flap, you get two frames with flaps, essentially duplicates except one side accepts the attachment screws, and should be used on the outside (you don't want a thief to be able to pry off the screw hole covers and expose the heads of the phillips screws allowing removal).

The door works great. The flap mechanism is substantial and effective. They secure with a firm "click" of the magnets. I feel like my door is still secure and weatherproof, even with these things on. And the appearance is of quality, not some cheap plastic.

About going in and out of the door: If your dogs are the least bit reticent, it will take some training. The magnetic closure is secure and it takes a significant push to free the flap. Twice that with double flaps. But with diligent training I think any dog will take to the door. Lots of treats and help until they go in and out without a second thought.

About cats: A big deterrent for buying those electronic doors, in addition to the collars and batteries and expense and maintenance, was the reviews that said smart cats still find a way to get out! Either they hang out at the door until the dogs go through and take advantage of the opportunity, or they learn to signal the dogs to open the door for them! Yikes again. Here I could have purchased an expensive plastic electronic assembly and found out it still let the cats out. Thank you reviewers for pointing this out.

Cats will not get out this door, unless they are tigers. It's just too hard to push through; especially the double flap. Indeed, the box or instructions state 'not for cats'. (Keep in mind we are using the large size 10 with double flaps. Your experience might vary for smaller doors with single flaps and single-minded, strong cats.)

Anyhow, our cat hasn't even attempted to get out. I am very pleased with this door and recommend it highly. Even without cats I would get this door. It sort of puts the others to shame.

Note: A reviewer said they had problems aligning the screws. Well, I've had to align screws hundreds of times, in more difficult scenarios; this one just wasn't a big deal. Put the door on a flat surface, like a workbench (not strung between two saw horses, which is how you cut the hole). Try using a flashlight, shining a light into the hole, adjusting so the screw hole appears lined up, and slide the screw in straight. We didn't even have to use the flashlight, just squared the doors more or less equally on the opening and the screws found their holes readily. It was straight forward.

Honest reviews on Endura Flap Dog Door for Doors

This was the best investment in pet doors we have ever made. We've had this door for almost 2 years now and I'm sure it has more than paid for itself in terms of energy savings as well as replacement parts.

The door itself is pretty standard, I do like that it is metal and not plastic as it's easier to clean. The flap is still in great shape and we were going through flaps for the pet safe doors (several versions) about ever 6 mo as our dogs like to charge through the door. I was concerned about the wind, this was by far our biggest complaint in other brands, we get 60+ mph wind gusts regularly and it would always come open, not this one. Also we have not had a single mouse in the house since purchasing this door, which leads me to believe they were getting in through the dog door.

Instalation was not an issue for us, we had to re-cut the hole we had existing in our metal insulated door and it was all pretty easy, took about 2 hrs to get it re-cut and fully installed. It's taller and more narrow that most other doors so we specifically had to make sure this door would be larger than our existing hole. I think the only down side we've had is that my 2 year old (and 4 year old) can easily fit through the large size and often head outside to play without telling me first. All in all I would very much recomend this product.

This is the best dog door I could find. We've had ours for almost 2 years and it works great. It was easy to install. We have 3 large doogs who use this door a lot in all weather conditions and it has held up very well...really no significant signs of wear or indicators that it would fail to function or need any parts replaced. The flap is much thicker than most other doors I've seen and it withstands the weather well. Be sure to measure accurately. The first door we ordered was too big (my fault), but the vendor shipped the right one quickly and issued a refund when they recieved the first one no problem. The Endura flap door costs a bit more than most others, but it is a great product.

Ok so I got this device for my indoor "bad" cats who started using my dining room instead of their perfectly clean litter boxes. They had a perfect track record until recently.

Well, I tried several chemical pherimore dispersers, other non-harmful devices.... and not one of them worked in the slighest!!

The Cat Scram, however, worked unbelievably on the first go around! I can't say enough great things about his product to do it justice.... It simply works... period!!!!

I don't like cats but through a bizarre comedy of errors I find myself the co-owner of four of them. Their greatest joy in life is to climb around the counters after being in the litter box with the hope that we accidentally forgot a steak in the sink. Just after dawn the light hits our kitchen counters at the perfect angle to reveal a well worn path of little white paw prints going back and forth from the sink, to the stove, and back to the sink. It's as if old Bil Keane had snuck into our home and drawn one of those Family Circus comics for cats that retrace their mischievous steps as they wreaked havoc in the kitchen. The penalty where I live for animal cruelty that results in

substantial bodily harm to a pet or companion animal is imprisonment for up to one year, a fine of $3,000, or both so beating them was out of the question. One morning I finally snapped and decided to give the Catscram a try. I told the cats about this ahead of time. It was like when I was a kid and my mother would threaten me with the old, "Wait until your Father gets home!" line after I threw a fire cracker down the laundry chute. I kept telling them, "You just wait until the Catscram gets here. Then you'll be in trouble." The product showed up surprisingly fast within four days of ordering it so that was nice. I can't express how excited I was to get it in my hands. I set it up before even taking my coat off. "Let the sonic torture begin." I giggled to myself. So what were the results you ask? Cat Number One hates The Catscram like most Americans hate Osama Bin Laden. The second it goes of he bolts out of the kitchen and won't come out of hiding for at least 20 minutes. Cat Two and Cat Three are mildly irritated with it to the point where they will leisurely get off the counter when it goes off. Cat Number Four, who happens to be the worst behaved of the four cats, apparently thinks it's a new toy for him to play with on the way to the sink and it has no effect at all. So does it work? Yes and no. Reviews that say categorically (no pun intended) it works all the time or doesn't work at all are stupid to the point of being lacking any credibility. It depends on your cat. Any cat owner will tell you that they are fickle creatures with unique personalities and souls as black as night and because of this there is no one size fits all solution. I won't be returning it, but I probably won't be using it a lot either because it won't work in my situation. If you have a cat like Cat Number One get it because it will work. If you have a cat like Cat Number Four whose only goal in life it to bug you in between his frequent naps (and apparently can't hear anything) then don't get it because it will just be a paperweight.

Bought this as my rescue cat had peed on the basement, bedroom and living room carpets. The Catscram gets an A+. I set it up at the bottom of the basement stairs where there is no door to keep him out. He followed me down like always, but then he paused and kind of looked around and then SHOT back up the stairs! He has not gone down there since in almost 2 months. I moved the Catscram into the doorway of my newly-remodeled bedroom to see if it would keep him out. (I had finally gotten the urine smell out by getting rid of the old carpet and pad and then trying several products on the subfloor had best success with Arm&Hammer pet stain remover before sealing with 2 coats of Kilz and then a polyurethane sealant on top. He went to the bedroom door and came inside, but then again stopped and looked around before retreating back down the hall! I can now leave the door open and he won't go in. Sorry it hasn't worked for other people, but it did the trick for me!

Honest reviews on Catscram Electronic Cat Repellent

We have three cats, one adult, two kittens well, 8 months old now. The older cat knew the house rules and was no problem, our girl kitten was very docile and rarely broke the "rules" which are basically no cats on counters, dining room table and coffee table. Our problem was the young male kitten..he seemed to not care at all..he was very aware of what he shouldn't be doing, he would hear us approach the room and quick jump off the counter or whatever. He also LOVED baked treats..apple pie topping -ate half, blueberry muffins ate 2, even ate through a sandwich bag to get vanilla wafers! He also knew when I would be out of the house for extended periods of time which would be long enough for him to eat whatever on the counter or table. SO we purchased the Catscram for him. It seems to have worked! We have a "trap" of bacon grease left in a open pot on the stove, which he has nibbled at before the Catscram. Whenever I leave the house or room for a while, I set the Catscram at an angle so it will go off if he is on the counter. I can't hear a noise, unless i angle the speaker right in front of my ear, but the cats hear something, their ears turn to the noise. I don't know the range of the sound either, but cats in the living room resting do not seem to be affected by the noise in the kitchen, so that is nice. Not only has our troublesome boy stopped going on the counter, his other problem behaviors have stopped too, like dragging my towels and washcloths off the bar or out of the laundry basket and running away with them. I've also used it to block off the entrance to rooms I dont want the cats in, also works. The only downside is the small range, I mean, it only detects so far which is nice but if there are multiple problem areas, you will need multiple Scrams.

We have 4 cats and this unit repels all of them. What is amazing to me is that one of our cats is very old and cannot hear the vacuum cleaner, us yelling or clapping our hands, but she hears this thing and runs. Apparently her high frequency hearing is still there (your results may vary).

You'll want to position the unit facing the area that you want cat free, but away from room traffic to avoid false alarms. For example if you have a problem corner, put it out a few feet from the area and aim it at the area instead of putting it in the corner aiming out. This is less practical as it might be in the middle of a room, but it's the most effective since the cat will only hear the alarm once it goes to that spot. If it's going off all the time or when they are just walking by, they will learn to ignore it or simply get stressed out by it which might cause other behavioral issues. It picks up movement from 8-10 feet out without any problem. After some time, the cats will avoid the area altogether so you can remove it and use it elsewhere if necessary. I rotate mine around so the cats don't figure out that any particular area is no longer "protected".

My batteries last about 6 months or so and it can be hard to tell when they are getting low since we can't hear it. I suspect the sound weakens some before the indicator light goes out as the batteries die off. So if your cat starts ignoring it you might want to try fresh batteries before thinking it's toast. This might be part of the problem other reviewers have had, especially if they got a unit that was sitting on a shelf or in hot weather for a while before they purchased it. Batteries lose capacity when stored this way.

In closing, this unit will stop cats from going to areas you don't want them going to, but it can't always fix a behavioral issue all by itself. For example, if your cat stops using the litter box and decides to use your bathroom rug instead, the CatScram will stop her from using the rug, but won't necessarily stop her from choosing another (bad) spot. This is just one of many methods to help you get your cat to behave, but you may have to do some trial and error (including a Vet checkup to rule out health issues) to solve the problem.

Hope this helps those with challenging kitties:-)

My dogs (4) LOVE these. They are crispy and smell just like bacon. They converge all at once to see who gets the first piece.

My dog is picky when it comes to treats and dog food but love these and busy bones but around my house there hard to find.

Honest reviews on Dingo Grill House Mini Bacon Crisps

Have to order because stores in my city no longer carry. The only treat she will eat, so have to order at least 7 to 8 bags at a time. Picky Pup!!

These treats have a strong smell to them but the dogs really eat them up. My bigger dog will have it gone in about 5 minutes but the smaller one likes to chew on it all day. They love the taste.

very pleased with this little guy....

I have a big dog, and need to buy his food in

50# bags.... and that goes into a larger one of

these vaults, but makes feeding him a pain, as

I have to go out on the back deck to retrieve

kibbles for him....

bought this so I could have a smaller one in the

house that had a small "foot print"..... my little

house is very little.... lol.....

space is at a premium.... and this saves the day

for me.... my trips are cut way back on having to

go and fetch his kibbles... and he doesn't have to

wait to be fed.... win/win for both of us....

being disabled, running to the back deck was a

nuisance...

this bucket along with the larger one similar out=

doors, keeps bugs and pests out.... a nice tight

seal, and food stays fresh.... exactly what I needed...

thanks for a great product...!!!!

My friend recommended this for my dog's food, and so far I like it. It is a good size, and not too heavy, even when it is full. It is airtight and handy to use, and I would definitely recommend it.

We have a cat that is so loving & calm, but becomes a Wild Cat when it comes to breaking into cat food containers! Now we find this container turned over but she can't get in to it.

Honest reviews on Gamma2 Vittles Vault 8 for Pet Food Storage

I have been looking for an air tight container for my cat & dog food for a long time. I have seen these at Amazon and at Petco but felt the price was a bit high. Saw them on Amazon cheaper than I had and figured i would give it a try. Worth every penny. Would never buy anything else!

I have been ordering pet food in bulk to save money, which is great, but leaves me with the issue of finding air-tight storage for large quantities of food.

I chose to order the 8 gallon size of this product to "test it out" and determine whether or not I wanted to invest in a larger size.

I am currently using it to hold guinea pig pelleted food, which must be kept air-tight and out of the light (to prevent vitamin C from degrading).

So far, the vittles vault has worked great. The lid design allows you to spin ti open / closed instead of having to pry off a typical food storage bucket lid.

I have enjoyed using it and will probably invest in a larger model at some point in the future.

Cheap Hartz Ultraguard Plus Home Fogger 3 Pack

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

We have had animals for 10 years and this was our first time to get fleas indoors. It went from seeing a few and treating our pets to where our house was being overrun by them. We wanted to handle the situation ourselves so we went and bought two of the 4 in 1 Home Fogger kits. Came home and removed all of our pets from the house, set the foggers, actually went and stayed in a hotel to get away from them. When we came home, the fleas were still in abundance. We stayed in a hotel for two nights! I'm not saying that we didn't notice a reduction in the amount of fleas, but there were still fleas EVERYWHERE. You do get what you pay for, I think that's the bottom line here. If you have a slight flea problem, maybe it would work. But we ended up just calling The Bug Man and having him come out and spray both inside and outside of our house. It was our normal bug guy and he gave us GREAT information about the product we used. He told us that the fogger basically goes up into the air and falls in a 3 ft. radius around the canister. Since you are told on the package to turn off the A/C unit, it doesn't even really circulate the house. In addition, it does NOT penetrate the cocoon, which it claims to on the box. Once you get back in the house and the fleas feel the vibrations of you or your pets walking around, the fleas sense food and hatch and come and eat ya up again! And he wasn't trying to sell us anything either, because we had already paid for his service and he was at our house spraying! Nevertheless, when we got home the next day, the fleas were ALL GONE. We have seriously not seen a single flea since. Yes, it cost more, but we are no longer being eaten alive by fleas and their flea treatment lasts for almost an entire year! I will never buy this product again--if I have fleas again in the future (and here's hoping I don't), I will immediately call The Bug Man and not even worry about trying to combat it myself.

Fleas are a tough bug to beat. I wont say this is a horrible product as it has worked in my parents home. I will say, however, that you need to choose your product wisely or you will be spending a fortune. In my 1,000 sq ft apt with 12 ft ceilings and wood floors, three cans did not work or seem to make a dent. If I had 6 cans, maybe it would have gone better. But I was not going to spend that much.

I wouldn't recommend this product for an infestation or a home with high ceilings. I'm actually not sure what I would recommend this product for.

I bought this because some tenants of mine brought flea infested animals into my basement and throughout the house I have a 2 story duplex and set off 8 foggers out of 9 throughout the house and they did not kill the fleas but only subdued them for 3 days tops! Very disappointed with this product!

Hartz Ultraguard Plus Reflecting Flea &Tick Cat CollarI have had my dog for 12 years and never have I gotten fleas in the house like this. I treated my dog and now they are still in my house biting me! So after searching trying to find a solution I picked this up at the store. I followed the directions step by step. Made sure I did everything right. Ive use regular bombs for spiders all the time and these directions weren't that different but I defiantly wanted this to work so since it was specifically for fleas and flea eggs I bought it hopeing for a solution. After I left the house for not two but three hours (an hour more than what the box said) I vacuumed and put it in the bag and threw it away as it said and seen nothing. I didn't bring my dog home that night either. When I woke up the next morning as soon as my white socks hit the floor there they were!! STILL THERE!! I just wanted to cry! So now the dog is still away and I purchased something else hope that it works. This product worked for approximately 9 hours! I should've known not to buy it. The Hartz flea treatment for dogs doesn't work either for as long as they should especially if the dog gets wet! Just another waste of money.

Worked wonders! Fleas gone after one use and lots of vacuuming! Nothing else works before this. Very happy with this product!
