My 1 year old mini labradoodle goes CRAZY for plushed toys.. and he will IMMEDIATELY dive into any cute looking toy and try to ruin it. I don't exactly know how many plushed toys he's gone through already, buts its A LOT -so I went on the quest to try and find a cute, tough toy. I've bought him Nyla Bones, Orca petstages, etc.. but the thing is with those toys, he can only chew on them and now really fling it around like a stuffed animal.. SO, I've also bought him toys with no-stuffing, but he still seemed to ruin the heck out of it.. to the point where you can't even recognize the toy anymore.

Moving on... I started asking around for what would be the perfect toy for him. A lady recommended this toy that was made out of fire hose material -great.. but it wasn't cute.. and he seemed to have ruined it within a month. Then, another lady recommended a toy that was made with 100% boiled wool. I thought it was going to be tough as well, but boy was I wrong... the minute that I gave him this toy, the ear was gone already. SIGH.

I really lost all hope on finding a toy that I would think he can actually have forever. But then.... this Go Dog Baby Dragon came into our lives. Not only was it cute, but super appealing because of the "Chew Guard Technology". DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I was thinking that he would ruin it once more... but I had hope.. so, I gave it to him..... and........................... nothing. :) NOTHING came out. Nothing was chewed off. I can't rave how much I love this! and I can't wait to buy more toys from this company! Hoooray!

Best Deals for goDog Dragon Dog Toy with Chew Guard

I had read reviews for these products and thought that maybe i could try them. Though I had my doubts when I saw how many appenages (arms, legs, tail, wings) that the doll has. Before I gave this toy to my dog, I noticed on the tag that it was to have a pull weight of 40kg. My dog is a border collie mix that weighs about 40 pounds, medium sized dog, but very energetic, and can be quite clever.

So here is what happened when I got it:

I gave the doll to my dog (Tess). After I gave her this toy, she started to go off with it, but then paused and looked at me for permission..."yes, I bought it for you, let's see how long it lasts". And off she went. By minute eleven, I heard seams ripping. by minute 18, she had the squeaky part out and left the dragon alone with only a hole in the tail where she performed her mini-surgery. The squeaker system in this toy involved foam and a plastic bag, which I then had to clean up foam peices.....I was not impressed with this. Tess' favorite part of her toys is the squeakers that she removes then carries around the house whining about, so I'm pretty sure she was disappointed with this, though I was somewhat glad to not have the whining part and her wanting me to throw a slobbery peice of squeaky plastic. The rest of the dragon is still together and she occassionally plays with it.

I like this doll as it is very cute and so far she hasn't totally destroyed it, but I would not recommend it as impenetrable to someone with a dog that approaches her toys by dissecting them the way mine does. She does not pull on them in particular, but lays down with them and chews on the same spot and works on it until she can rip the seems apart and "destuff" the toy. If your dog does this, don't expect it to hold up long. The rest of the dragon is still together so far and quite cute, but it has only been about a week, so we'll see if she goes back for the head or feet later....

Honest reviews on goDog Dragon Dog Toy with Chew Guard

Like most, I was very hopeful that this "Chew Proof" toy would withstand our 6 month old golden retriever. He has the ability to destroy toys in record time. He had this toy pulled apart in less than 30 minutes. Don't describe a toy as "Chew Proof" if it's not supposed to be chewed. I hate that we wasted so much money on this toy. I have picked up toys that cost $1 that lasted longer than this one! I guess we will continue the search for a better, tougher toy.

We recently purchased this as a Christmas present for our 1 year old English Bulldog on the recommendation of a coworker who said it was indestructible. After reading the reviews it showed promise so we have it a shot. I gave it to my little guy last night as an early present since he was being a good boy. Withing 30 minutes he had chewed off 3/4 of the tail which we had to grab quickly before he swallowed it. He also had removed both ears and the little thing on the head. He had also split the entire head in half. This may be okay for smaller dogs but it does not stand up to anything large.

Review of Soft-Sided Dog Crate with Mat in Brown

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $109.00
Sale Price: $68.56

First, the good points: the crate Is very lightweight, it (quite literally) zips together in a flash, the 43" crate is probably big enough for a small Dane, and the canvas is sturdy, with a waterproof coating on the inside.

Now, the not-so-good: The photos and description are inaccurate. The product description says there are flaps to cover the mesh on all 4 sides-NOT TRUE. There is no flap cover for the door. This may not be a problem for you, but I specifically wanted flaps over all mesh areas. Also, in the photos the mesh along the sides and back appears to start well above the floor of the crate. (I wanted this to avoid possible tears in the mesh should my dog start digging at it.) In fact, the mesh is only 3 or 4 inches above the floor, so with a bed inside it's pretty much even with the bed. Also the fleece 'mat' is not really all that. One one side it's fleece, on the other side it's a slick nylon type fabric and in between is a sheet of rigid plastic. The plastic sheet, BTW, is what makes the bottom rigid.

Now the bad: if you just need a crate once in a while for a day or two for a well-behaved dog, sturdiness may not be an issue. It was for me, though, since this is where my dog sleeps every night. BE WARNED this crate is held together ONLY by two zippers. THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SUPPORTS, in addition to being extremely flimsy, DO NOT ATTACH TO EACH OTHER ANYWHERE. I suspect this is the case with all the different crates that look like this one, as well as the dome-top GoPetClub crate. The supports that run parallel to the floor at the long sides of the top are about as big around as a couple of pencil leads and VERY, shall we say, flexible. When zipped together for the first time the top was decidedly swaybacked ( the nice rigid, sturdy-looking crate in the photo simply does not exist). The vertical supports are somewhat larger, but equally as bendy. Of course the good news is that they're easy to bend back, but really, if you put anything heavier than a bed pillow on this you're headed for a collapse. To see the zippers, look at the photo and note the thick black bands around the edges of the front and back of the crate. Those are zippers. And they're what holds the crate together. Just two zippers.

And as for customer service: I'm not one of those people who orders things expecting to send them back, so I often don't pay as much attention to return policies as I should. *sigh* let my life be a warning to you. I bought this from Go Pet Club, so when I realized it was not what I wanted, I contacted them for return instructions, which I was given. It cost me $44 to return via UPS. After they received it I got a curt email back saying the item was used, had pet hair on it and therefore no refund. I wrote back saying the item had been unboxed, set up with the dog's bed inside it, moved around the room for a while, brushed off and reboxed. I also noted that I have 4 dogs, 8 cats and a parrot, so it did not surprise me that there might be some hair, but that the crate was in perfect condition when I returned it. They were adamant, so I complained to Amazon. Several days later I got an $81 refund. I am used to dealing with mail order retailers like LL Bean who emphasize customer service to get customer loyalty, so it is always infuriating to me to run into "gotcha" return encounters. As I said, let this be a warning.

Bottom Line: unless you actually WANT a flimsy crate from a surly vendor, you can do much better elsewhere. I got the Remington crate, which is exactly what I wanted. Remington Soft-Sided Collapsible Kennel, Extra Large, 42-Inch L by 28-Inch W by 28-Inch H, Green

This HUGE soft-sided crate is very reasonably priced for the size.

I have 3 Giant Schnauzers that I trial in Agility and I used to have to drag a huge airline carrier into trials so one of my dogs could rest alone before their run.

Heavy!

One of my Giants is 30" tall, another 29" tall, and smallest one is 28" tall.

When I set it up in the living room, they took turns going into it to try it out.

This crate has been Giant-approved! (by my Giants, anyway.)

The additional nice features of this crate are the open-up or drop-down shades or covers (giving the dog privacy when down or being able to get fresh air with the shades up while the screen keeps flies and other bugs off the dog).

(No need for carrying in of blankets to cover the crate.)

Nice carrying straps for the shoulder and crate is lightweight, especially for this size.

But to me the greatest thing about this item is the price.

Most carriers this size run close to and/or over $170.00.

This one was only $62.00 with a used one with a little screen damage that was repairable for only $38.00.

I have 2 chow puppies (13 pounds each) and this has been great for them as a portable crate (in the house and in the car). Durable and so far they haven't tipped it over (except once when I had the bottom support out) or managed to open the zipper. Plus it is very easy to set up, even while in the car. I give this product a high rating.

This is the 3rd or 4th Midwest crate I've ordered and and they are all wonderful. I have several sizes and really love the crates with the side and end doors. You have more options in placement of the crate. The divider panel really comes in handy when I'm potty training, too. With four dogs of all shapes and sizes--Great Pyreenes down to a Maltese--I highly recommend any crates by Midwest. They are perfect for training. My dogs love them and use them every night. They also like them when it's thundering and lightning. After their last night potty outside, they crowd around their crates and can't wait for me to open them up so they can bed down for the night. (Doesn't help that they each have 2-3 treats waiiting for them inside.)

We just got a 7 week old mini doxie puppy and bought this crate both as a housebreaking tool and a "bedroom". The fact that it has a divider screen makes it perfect for both. You can make the crate smaller for a young puppy to discourage eliminating in the cage and yet you don't need to buy a new crate when he is full grown. You just take the divider out. It is a very sturdy pen for the money, yet portable because it folds flat. I know I sound like an ad but I am just saying that all the things the company says about it are true.

This is the second Midwest crate I've ordered in the past week. The first was the Midwest Lifestages Double-Door Folding crate. I ordered this one because it is 25" high, not 27" high. I can fit this one in the back of my Taurus wagon, unlike the taller crate.

Pros:

It's a crate. It fits in the back of my Taurus wagon. The door latches have a smooth action, thanks to the paint. It folds up more easily than the Petco crate I purchased a year ago. It has rubberized feet that protect floors from getting scratched. This is a big deal for me, since our house has hardwood floors. As an added plus, the feet make it a lot easier to slide in and out of the car. The price is very good. Quality seems fine. It has two doors, which gives it more flexibility in terms of use. It has only one latch to keep the crate folded for carrying instead of two. This is a plus because those latches stay closed only if being used to keep the crate folded. Otherwise, they flop open and can get in the way. Having only one is a plus under these conditions.

Cons:

Initial setup is a pain. Midwest ships these so that you can't unfold them out of the box. These crates are designed in such a way that you push down on the top side of either the front or back in order to release the top catch. The front (or back--whichever you used) will then fold inward. The side walls then collapse and fold. Midwest has decided that neither the single latch nor the flat shipping box is adequate for keeping the crate flat during shipping. They pack the crate so that one of the side latches (not one of the top) catches against a wire. This is a major, major pain to deal with. I use a screwdriver to help lift apart the two wires, and then have to use force to get the catch to slip over the wire it's catching upon. This is hard to describe (obviously), but believe me, it takes a lot of time, patience, and leverage to do this. Expect some minor paint chippage. Also, now that you know what to look for, inspect this area on the next crate you order so you can see if you get a returned crate from someone too frustrated to figure it out.

This crate will probably not be good for dogs that want to escape. I like the fact that it seems easy to pop up and down, but for people whose dogs aren't good in crates, this could be a major problem. The wires aren't really bendable, but for a determined dog who's gone nuts with anxiety, it may be possible to spring some of the catches. The dog could become lacerated. I would probably recommend a hard crate for that kind of dog, as well as consistent crate games to get the dog used to the idea that the crate is a good place to be when Mom or Dad is gone.

Final Thoughts:

Although it took me longer to write the Cons section, overall, there are more pros to this crate than cons. The price is excellent, and for a 2-door crate, you can't beat it. Also, it fits in the back of a station wagon, so for people reluctant to use crates in cars because of fit concerns, check out this crate. I'm glad I bought it, and I will probably buy another. Maybe 2. I am not sure it's possible to have too many crates for home or auto.

This was easy to setup and the double door configuration makes it easy to place as well. I would recommend this to anyone with a larger dog. We have a 70 pound German Shepherd puppy and he still has room to grow before filling this up.

Got this to travel with Great Dane puppy. Set up and broke down very easily, especially considering my all thumbs approach to such items. Could easily be carried by one adult to the car. Did not attempt to use it along the way remained folded during trip. But set up very nicely at the destination. I used the second largest and, at 4.5 months, the dog still sees it as home and stays all night with minimum complaint. My only surprise was that, in its folded state and as compact as it is, it still takes considerable space in our crossover vehicle to accommodate. We ended up standing it up and bungying to the side of the cargo compartment.

Purchased this really handy grooming tool to touch up and fluff my wire fox terriers legs and heads. Our professional groomer that hand stripps our terriers every year has a similiar one so bought this to keep our dogs looking good.

Who ever designed the ad should have mentioned that this tool was actually two sided not single sided. We were very surprised when it came that it had two different texture slickers on each side. Am happy with the product and would recommend it.

Discount Multipet Larry from the Three Stooges Talking Dog Toy

Customer Ratings:

I will say it again as we bought all three. If you have a choice, purchase Curly. I never dreamed that "Curly" would be the favorite like the other reviews said. I thought... how could a dog know the difference in the 3... these people don't know what they are talking about. Then, the trio arrived. My 12-pound Boston Terrier gravitated to the Curly one. They all look and are shaped the same, so tell me how this dog prefers "Curly"? :-) It is true! (haha) Perhaps the sound box on Curly is easier to set off, or maybe it is just the shape of his head... but my recommendaiton is to order 3 Curly's if you have a choice. This is unless you have a love for the 3 Stooges and want them all. :-)

This has held up well for 2 days now with my 12-pound fairly destructive dog. The voice box is loud enough to entertain my dog but is not overpowering (thank goodness). Perhaps they have turned the sound down since the last posts. :-)

Overall comments, BUY CURLY. :-)

My 11 month Golden Retriever has very quickly figured out how to dismantle this ball (it appears to basically be strips of notched fleece that is bundled in the middle with a piece of twine). I had purchased it for my 12 year old golden figuring it would be soft enough for her to play with (she's old; teeth hurt; etc...). I think if she was our only dog in the house it would have been okay; however, since we have an aggressive "play time" & chewer dog in the house, it was not a good investment.

Discount Pet Cooler Carrier - Cool for ALL Seasons!Cooling, Hydration

Customer Ratings:

I love this carrier. It is the perfect size for my cat. The carrier comes with extra bolts for airline security but works great with the existing bolts, too. The carrier has very cute paw print cut outs for ventilation. I love the idea of using the ice filler to keep the carrier cool in transport and as it melts it becomes water for my pet. I leave the carrier out all the time so my cats are used to looking at it and less anxious when I transport them. The size is good for one adult cat or small dog. Several kittens/puppies would also fit well. I plan on purchasing another carrier for my other cat and retiring my old soft carriers. I have also used the top lid for my wallet so I do not have to carry a purse to the vet. Very convenient! If your pet is nervous, this comes with attachable curtains. They have thought of everything!
