Discount Super Dooley Digester Tub Size: 5 Pound Tub
I have three dogs, one very large, and that means a lot of waste. Doggie Dooley enzymes do a great job of breaking it down and eliminating the associated oder. I just add three scoops (one per dog) every week or so and pour a little water over it. I clean the yard daily, and you can really see that this product is working day by day. It's easy and it completely eliminates the smell. You can't ask for more than that.The enzyme has become hard to find around town. It breaks down the waste and stops the smell. It beats using bags for yard clean up.

Pet's Pad 'Fold & Go' Portable Pet House Review
I take this with me everywhere I travel. It lays flat in my trunk underneath my suitcase and my little chihuahua hides in it when I leave her in the hotel room or at someones house. Highly recommended!

This bag is exactly what I was looking for! It is a very discreet dog tote that is spacious and comfortable. It is just as the description says: zip up flap on one end, and a clip flap on the other. The top is magnetic so it lays shut. The bottom is mesh, but there is a fleece-covered pad that you can unsnap from the side and lay flat on the bottom for a little extra cushioning. The shoulder straps are SUPER comfortable and padded! I bought this for a papillon puppy we will get this spring, but I tried it out on my 9 pound miniature dachshund. She loves it! I could easily carry her around, she has enough space (which is hard since her body is so long!), and she likes the bag. After I was done trying it out, I set the bag on the floor with her still in it. She laid her head down on the chin rest and took a little nap! Too cute!

Romp! Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan The Alpha Duck, Nylon Review
Nothing in the product information led me to believe this was a "sturdy" toy, but I wanted to test the Dog Whisperer product line and the mesh material. No toy stands up to our lab/pitt mix, but this poor duck never stood a chance. Stitching seams are no match for aggressive chewers, now the duck looks more like a bat with the wings barely holding on. Nylon material is a nice change from our normal fuzzy critters, but I would say this needs to be limited to dogs with gentle mouth and teeth. Also, definitely is not a tug-and-pull toy. 2-stars because it may be a good "prize" for a gentle dog to tote around.

We took our 11 year old kitty home for the holidays on a 7-hour car ride. He just layed there in his kennel; unbelievable! He really hates car trips. I started giving this to him 3 times a day beginning the day before we left. He cried for maybe a few minutes when we first started driving and then that was it. And he totally adapted to my dad's place where we stayed; I gave him some more the next day to make sure he wasn't upset; he was great! He was so good; this really really does work with no drowsiness or any type of side affects whatsoever. Do not even hesitate to use this; love it.
Hint; place the correct number of drops right into the lid and tilt back their head and just let it run in; this is much quicker and easier then trying to squeeze the drops in one at a time. We used 10 drops cause he is a huge Maine Coon weighing 25lbs. Read instructions of course for correct weight dosage.

I adopted 3 adult cats that I brought home at the same time. One is an owner give-up. She has had a lot of anxiety adjusting to all the changes she's been through. She has shown several signs of stress plucking/excessive grooming/feline acne/unprovoked hissing. I tried Homeopet Anxiety Relief first but after 2 weeks it wasn't working so I weaned her down and her stress signs showed up again; so I guess it really was working! I then gave Rescue Remedy a try since its non-alcohol and if I run out is available at Whole Foods. The Homeopet Anxiety Relief is definitely more effective for my cat (I also have 2 Feliway diffusers). Although it took some time for it to take effect (I guess the more stress the cat is under the longer it takes). I do have to do 3 5-drops a day and do notice a change in her if I skip a dose. I mix it with her food and she doesn't have a problem with the alcohol, but she is an eater. When I put it in the water bowl, the other cats turned their nose up so I guess the alcohol base wouldn't work with them. I hope she adjusts sooner rather than later and I will no longer have to use it (I'm on my second bottle). But until she adjusts, this is the product I'm sticking with.Best Deals for HomeoPet Solutions Anxiety Relief
I purchased the Homeopet Anxiety relief on the advice of my veterinarian. My spayed geriatric cat was spraying and the younger neutered male cat was intimidating her. The female seemed to be less anxious for the first few weeks after starting the drops but she continued to spray. I decided to give the drops to the male also, hoping some of his aggressive behavior would diminish. His behavior continues to be problematic. The product may be worth trying if you have one cat and you can more readily control the environment. I didn't find it very helpful in a multi-cat household.Honest reviews on HomeoPet Solutions Anxiety Relief
I'm loving this stuff. My dog has separation anxiety and would be anxious when I left for work even though there were others at home. When I get home she would whine and jump and be kinda wild and it would take at least ten minutes for her to calm down. I've been giving her 10 drops three times a day and I saw the difference today. Today when I came home she was just sitting at the door waiting for me. She whined a little and pranced around when I opened the door and settled down in less than a minute. I highly recommend it!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for HomeoPet Solutions Anxiety Relief
We have a 3.5 pound dog, who does not travel well. We brought her to a vet in Canada for another issue, and mentioned her shaking and panting in the car. She recommended these drops. They worked really well, and she was able to relax in the car. When we got home, she was ready to go. It didn't make her a zombie. It just seemed to soothe her. I tried finding them here and had not been able to find this in the States until I tried Amazon. So glad to have found them again! I would highly recommend.Saturday, November 8, 2014

Cheap Best Friends by Sheri 2 in 1 Pet House-Sofa Pet Bed
This is a very small house; my shih tzu puppy is 14 weeks and 5.5 lbs, and she is just the right size to fit it now, but will outgrow it in a few months. It is of good quality, and the convertible feature is nice, but whenever it's in 'house' form, my dog will just jump on top of it and put it in 'sofa mode.'. If you have a very young puppy or full-grown dog up to about 6 lbs I'd recommend this, especially if you want something compact. It would not fit a larger dog.
Actually we ended up buying a second one since they kept fighting over it. I looked at the 'houses' this company makes just for cats but was not impressed because 1) they don't convert to sofas like this model does and 2) they cost A LOT more, they retail for $30 and up. It seems that the company has changed the design since then. I would include a link to the newer model but I can't find it on amazon, I'll update my review if I find it. The first series and the newer version are a bit different. The 'small' of the first series is a bit bigger than the 'small' of the second series. Both of our cats are 10LBS and under and they both comfortably fit in the first and second versions of the houses but when changed to sofas the updated model is a much tighter fit. Unless you have a particularly large cat or your cat really likes to stretch out then this older model should be big enough. Also the second series has noticeably thicker padding and a much nicer fabric on the outside, a fuzzy sort of beige micro suede though I did paid more for it ($15 at TJ Maxx again, originally $25.) I've washed the older version in our washing machine a few times with no problem, but I did need a lint remover to help get the excess cat hair off. I haven't washed the new one yet but I'll update my review when I do. I would definitely buy either model again for myself or gifts but not for the amazon price, check out your local discount stores for a better deal.

We have a little toy fox terrier who loves these little foam kitty cube type beds. He spends so much time in there that they get kind of smelly and need to be replaced periodically. This one was the perfect size and the price was decent. It arrived quickly, and Charlie loves it. While I wish he would accept the upgraded wooden house with a custom made bed inside that can be easily laundered, he prefers the cheap ones. Do I love it? No, but it is exactly what I expected it to be, it is worth the price and he loves it. At our house... that works.Best Deals for Best Friends by Sheri 2 in 1 Pet House-Sofa Pet Bed
From reading the reviews I was not sure what I'd get, but this is a good thing. (The price was right to take a chance and the cats like boxes, even though they eventually shred them.) It has been described as small, but when I unpacked it, expecting some time for the cats to explore it, 2 kittens (4 wks) crawled right inside, and when Mom came into the room, she immediately joined them! No problem with fit. Not much later another cat (adult) crawled right in with the group. The apace was certainly adequate, enough room for all, but no room for another. (Mom is 7 pounds, visitor about 8) Only once has it been turned into a couch, nobody interested, but as a house: a success. I'd recommend this highly, although you'd have to judge the size you need. This was more than adequate for us.Honest reviews on Best Friends by Sheri 2 in 1 Pet House-Sofa Pet Bed

Our cats (we have two females) seem to get cold easily and were always sleeping on the blanket on our couch meaning I had to wash it fairly often. I purchased this from my local TJ Maxx for about $10 (originally $18.) We're not crazy about the color (tan zebra stripe) but my boyfriend and I didn't have the money to buy an expensive cat tree but this was easily within our price range. It is great, the cats took to it right away. This gave them somewhere to hide away and stay warm. We change it from sofa to house once in awhile and they seem to enjoy it either way. When my boyfriend and I went on an extended trip for Christmas and took our cats with us this was really easy to fit in our overstuffed car. It was nice to be able to take something familiar for them that took up so little space.Actually we ended up buying a second one since they kept fighting over it.

I should have named my Yellow Lab Thief because he seeks only to kill and destroy. (Gospel of John 10:10). He ate the outlets off the back of my house. He ate part of my car...You get the idea. The only toys he can play with are the solid Nylabone (no rubber , no matter how hard). He even breaks through bones and figured out how to chew the top off a Kong to get the treat inside. But he loves hidden treats. So I begged Nylabone to make a hollow Nylabone and sure enough they did. My Lab absolutely LOVES it. He carries it around and the only thing that comes close is his Frisbee. Can't recommend this enough. There are plenty of teeth marks on the trunk but it's still great and keeps him busy trying to get treats out of the "log." I even tweeted Nylabone a photo. This is literally just what I asked for? You'll love how your furry friend will love it!
I got a new dog who doesn't like chew toys but does like food, a lot. And at the same time, if he does chew something he could easily destroy it. I thought that if I put peanut butter or something like that in this hollow part of the dura chew he'd enjoy working at getting the food and not destroy the nylabone in the process. In addition it has 'branches' for him to help hold the chew bone in place.
It didn't work out the way I expected. It's too heavy for him to want to carry around and he can't get his tongue very far in the hole so he gets frustrated. I'd almost say it's a little too indestructable. Once he gets the food that is accessable to him out he puts it aside.
It's a good toy for dogs that like nylabones. The hollowed out part didn't work like I thought it would.

This is one of the better doors on the market. It is well built and durable. Some pet doors are somewhat stiff but the strips on the Outback door are soft enough so as not to discourage smaller dogs (or cats) from entering yet thick enough to keep the weather out. The Outback door is absolutely clear, not cloudy, so the animal can see what they're getting into. All in all it is well worth the money.Best Deals for Outback Dog House Door in Clear
Product is long, heavy plastic strips made for the Outback Dog House which screws in above the door and hangs down (note: if you already have the dog house put together, you will have to take off the roof to install this product). I bought this door to protect my cats from the wind coming in the door in the winter. The slats often don't hang straight down -they get caught up behind one another and hung up on the bedding in the house, but I guess something is better than nothing. I am always straightening them. It affords the cats easy entrance and exit to the house while providing some wind break.Honest reviews on Outback Dog House Door in Clear
I have three of these doghouses with these clear plastic doors and I think they are wonderful. We put the doghouse doors on in winter and take them off for the summer.

Cheap Dog House Ornament - Labrador, black
I'm happy with it... Was safely packaged and has a good paint job. The name "plate" on the dog house is glossed and is tricky to write on so you need the right marker and be careful of smudging (it helps if your dog has a short name)I was quite happy with this little ornament. I have a lab cross so this closely resembled him, without revealing the entire body of the dog. I would have liked to have had the option of his name engraved over the door. However, am willing to write it in there myself. The product is worth the money and arrived very promptly.

Contech StayAway Motion-Activated Pet Deterrent Reviews

Today's Bonus: 7% Off

If you're tired of having your Christmas tree climbed, or finding the ornaments under your furniture daily, or the garland dragged onto the floor, or seeing your cats anywhere you don't want them to be (or just witnessing the aftermath of where they've been where they shouldn't), this product is for you! Since I bought it, turned it on and put it under my Christmas tree, I have not had a problem with my cats even going anywhere near the thing! Forget all the other tricks (including hanging bells low on the tree so they'll jingle when the cats rattle it, or purposely hanging ornaments low that they can "have" to play with...the first only works if you're home to hear, and the second only trains them to believe the whole tree is fair game!).
The reason this product works so well is that it trains cats to stay away from forbidden places at ALL times...even when you are out of the room, asleep or not at home! Other deterrents depend on your presence and your ability to swiftly respond and match "penalty" with the crime...cats soon come to realize that as soon as you can't see or hear their mischief, it's party time! But StayAway works 24/7...whether you're there to catch 'em in the act or not! Cats otherwise used to doing as they please the second you leave the place or shut your eyes soon learn...the punishment comes whether or not you're there! Eventually they become too scared to even go near that part of the room...at any time. It's an effective form of training that does pets no harm.
If you have problems with cats on counters, cats in houseplants, whatever, set this can near or on what you're trying to protect and you will have problems no more. Eventually you won't even need it turned on at all...the very sight of the thing will keep them away! (And if they ever figure out that trick and start giving you trouble again, just turn it back on until the problem ends!) It may be more expensive than squirt bottles or double-stick tape, but IT WORKS! Get it this Christmas (or any other time of year) and finally have peace of mind!
When i first read about this concept on the web, i read about the SSSCAT product by Premier and i came to Amazon to buy it, but i read reviews in which the users reported that there was an older version of the product that had both a sound alarm and the spray of air, with the option to use sound only. SSSCAT was advertised as having both features, but users reported it had air spray only, no alarm. Apparently no one updated the page on Amazon after they discontinued the alarm. There were disappointed reviewers complaining that the product was not correctly described in the ad, and also, that the alarm option was not available anymore.
I really wanted the alarm, with the option of sound only. The spray uses up the supply of air pretty fast, and then it costs $20 including shipping to get another can of air, that doesn't last very long. I was very disappointed that the Premier product took this feature away. That's when a search led to the discovery of StayAway. True enough, the spray ran out very quick when i first got it. I had to buy a new one and during the long period between buying the refill and receiving it, there was no continuity of the cat's training. But since then, i have used mostly the alarm/sound only and not the spray, and have not run out of spray again, after a very long time, months.
I began worrying that it would wear out and that the product would be discontinued, and also, i wanted to position more of them in different parts of the house, so i just bought two more today.
In other words, i think they're great.
Cons:
Does not go off in time to deter a moving cat.
Cat basically has to walk in front of it and STAND THERE for anything to happen.
Expensive for value provided (none).
Pros:
Can be used to clean dust from computers.
Great for deterring humans from places that you do not want cats.
Helps you find a fast, easy way to throw away $40 if you are so inclined.

But StayAway works 24/7...whether you're there to catch 'em in the act or not! Cats otherwise used to doing as they please the second you leave the place or shut your eyes soon learn...the punishment comes whether or not you're there! Eventually they become too scared to even go near that part of the room...at any time. It's an effective form of training that does pets no harm.
If you have problems with cats on counters, cats in houseplants, whatever, set this can near or on what you're trying to protect and you will have problems no more. Eventually you won't even need it turned on at all...the very sight of the thing will keep them away! (And if they ever figure out that trick and start giving you trouble again, just turn it back on until the problem ends!) It may be more expensive than squirt bottles or double-stick tape, but IT WORKS! Get it this Christmas (or any other time of year) and finally have peace of mind!

I got one of these several months ago to keep the cat off the counters. As far as i know, it's working. I never see the cat up there. It also keeps the dogs out of any area or room i don't want them in.When i first read about this concept on the web, i read about the SSSCAT product by Premier and i came to Amazon to buy it, but i read reviews in which the users reported that there was an older version of the product that had both a sound alarm and the spray of air, with the option to use sound only. SSSCAT was advertised as having both features, but users reported it had air spray only, no alarm. Apparently no one updated the page on Amazon after they discontinued the alarm. There were disappointed reviewers complaining that the product was not correctly described in the ad, and also, that the alarm option was not available anymore.
I really wanted the alarm, with the option of sound only. The spray uses up the supply of air pretty fast, and then it costs $20 including shipping to get another can of air, that doesn't last very long. I was very disappointed that the Premier product took this feature away. That's when a search led to the discovery of StayAway. True enough, the spray ran out very quick when i first got it. I had to buy a new one and during the long period between buying the refill and receiving it, there was no continuity of the cat's training. But since then, i have used mostly the alarm/sound only and not the spray, and have not run out of spray again, after a very long time, months.
I began worrying that it would wear out and that the product would be discontinued, and also, i wanted to position more of them in different parts of the house, so i just bought two more today.
In other words, i think they're great.
Best Deals for Contech StayAway Motion-Activated Pet Deterrent
After considerable review of the different manufacturers of this type of product I chose Contech specifically because their customer reviews indicated it was a better product, i.e. better quality, performance, etc. compared to the competition. I'll relate my experience and let you be the judge. I ordered two of the StayAway Pet Deterrents and they arrived promptly. The product is easy to assemble and place into immediate use. However the motion sensors on both units proved to be hypersensitive. Instead of limiting their sensing range out to 3 feet (the manufacturer's specifications) they detected movement and activated at a range clear out to 15 feet. So now you can't walk through our living room at all without them activating. I contacted customer service who were very friendly and the rep told me she had not heard of such a problem and would consult with one of their engineers and call me back which she did in a timely fashion. She stated that the engineer indicated that it was a bad sensor within the unit and they promptly shipped me 2 new units at no cost. I now have 4 units and they all have the same exact problem. They all fire at a range out to 15 feet. Unfortunately in my case the excess sensing range renders them very impractical unless I want to be purchasing the expensive refill canisters every week and putting up with the annoying blast every time we walk through the living room (high traffic area). I'm sure that the product normally works as advertised. Every manufacturer produces a lemon from time to time. But 4 units all performing outside their specifications indicates to me their is no quality control going on and neither did their customer service take the time to ensure they were sending me a properly functioning replacement.Honest reviews on Contech StayAway Motion-Activated Pet Deterrent
After all the great reviews from other purchasers, I figured I'd give it a go. I bought the thing, set it up, and placed it in the doorway to my kitchen. The cat either walks right past it or the stupid "cat deterrent" goes off like three seconds after the cat has walked in front of it. How is that supposed to help the cat stay out of an area?Cons:
Does not go off in time to deter a moving cat.
Cat basically has to walk in front of it and STAND THERE for anything to happen.
Expensive for value provided (none).
Pros:
Can be used to clean dust from computers.
Great for deterring humans from places that you do not want cats.
Helps you find a fast, easy way to throw away $40 if you are so inclined.

I have had the most exciting experience with this product to train my cat. I mean, I love her to death, but sometimes she is such a pain. She thinks this house is hers, and she allows us to live here. I finally broke down and got this because although she feels as though she has to lay on every surface in the house, there are some places that I don't want her to lay. The places that I want to keep her off of are the counters and food prep areas... WOW! Does this work! She'll prowl around in the middle of the night, and we'll hear PSST! Followed by jumping kitty ruckus. And that will make you laugh out loud in bed! This product may be scary, but it is safe. My only warning... be prepared to forget that the unit's on the counter in the morning. If you don't disarm it, you will be frightened by a sudden PSST! and may have a heart attack or incontinence. And if you're the first one up, you will hear laughter from the other bedrooms. Other than that, you can't go wrong.
