Great product! I taught my puppy how to use this in one day. I did say use, she learned how to press the button on command. It took about two weeks to get her to push the bell to go outside. Patience is key when training your dog with this. It works like a charm now! Actually the dog not only uses the bell to let us know that she has to go out, she presses it when she feels like she is not getting enough attention! Sometimes it backfires, but it is pretty funny! I would recommend this product.

I found this product while looking for a bell to hang by the door for my dog. Ours is a sliding glass door with no knob, so this looked like a good option. After reading all the reviews for the Tell Bell and all the reviews for the Koolatron pet doorbell set, I realized I already had something that might work: the Staples Easy Button, which is available on Amazon for $9.98. It works basically the same way as the other products; it just says "that was easy" when my dog steps on it, is battery powered and does not require a transmitter/receiver. It also has 4 rubber feet on the bottom, which helps it stay in place on our tile floor. My 11 week old Airedale Terrier puppy, after a few minutes of "clicker training" (books, videos and clickers also available on Amazon) learned to use it today. Granted, that probably wasn't how the other products instruction manuals suggested training your dog, but it seems to have worked for us. Now to get him to figure out to only step on the button when he needs out to do his business, not just for fun and treats! I think he'll get it in no time. If you're really enterprising and would like to customize what the recording says, I also found a great web site that gives step-by-step instructions on how to record your own ("gotta go, gotta go," "Rover needs out," "Oo, oo, oo," or whatever). See . If I hadn't already had one of these, I probably would have gone with the Tell Bell.

Pros: awesome idea for a product, works great and love love love that it is weatherproof

over all works great but did take some adjusting for the dog to get used to. batteries last surprisingly long amount of time in the cold months

Cons: i wish the whole unit was a button b/c our dog had trouble pressing the one specific place

and in really cold weather (South Dakota gets into the negatives a lot) the outside unit (we have one both inside and out) tends to freeze up which stinks for our dog who is stuck outside for a little longer until we realize what is going on. just something to think about if you live in a blizzardy tundra but this doesn't happen often.

and it could be a little less cheesy but what do you do overall product works great our dog loves it and overall I love it!

Honest reviews on Pet Doorbell Complete Set

As cute as this is and it is such a good idea, just don't waste your money. We have 6 paws and 3 receivers as we kept replacing them as they are unreliable. We were desperate to keep the giant Newfoundland from jumping and scratching the wood door to get in. All the problems others talk of we had too, paw sticks, doesn't work reliably in cold WI winter, grit may inhibit depressing paw. Since our dog's paw is soooo big she had no problem hitting the unit. She learned quick too. I've got to find another answer now as we just painted the doors.

The main issue for us is for the dog to let us know when she wants to come back in the house without knocking and destroying the door. It has to be something that we can hear while we are in other areas of the house. If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks and woof woof!

This is complete rubbish. I bought it from Walmart so was at least able to return it when it didn't work.

I took it out of the package, installed the batteries, and the button worked about 5 times. Then it stopped making the receiver chime, although I had not moved it. Then suddenly, out of the blue, the receiver began chiming non-stop for no reason. That stopped but then it would just randomly go off until I finally removed the batteries and returned it.

The paw is cute, but it is light and my dog would wind up moving it all over. Also, my dog is trained to touch on command, but she had trouble with the idea that she had to touch only in one specific part of the paw. That I could have worked out, if the bell had worked, but it still seems like poor design.

I needed something weather proof, which is why I tried this despite many bad reviews. If you just want to train your dog to ring something to go outside, then I recommend a very simple non-mechanical bell. My dog is trained to ring some windchimes that hang on a hook next to the door and that works wonderfully. The problem I have is training her out of scratching at the glass door to come back in. I have now purchased a $19 wireless doorbell at Ace Hardware that rings loudly and consistently and stuck the push button onto a rock to make it heavy. It's a small target to push, but that just means some extra training time. At least it works.

This dog collar was very nice. I do wish it had been a little wider since the dog it was going on is rather large. However, on the website it did tell the width of the collar, so I guess that's my fault. It's hard to find a Miami Dolphins dog collar in Virginia so I was just glad to find this one for my son's dog.

I ordered this for a chi-mix I was fostering. I originally got her the XX-small and it turned out to be too small so I had to get a bigger one. She had mange when rescued and had lost all her fur so I got the shirt to help protect her delicate skin while rough housing with my other pups. I would put it on her when going out to protect her from sunburning and because it started conversations in which I could bring up she was a rescue looking for a home. It's pretty thick though and living in the hot FL sun she couldnt wear it too long

BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920 Reviews

BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
In short: I finally have a vacuum that actually does what I need. Read the long review to see what I mean.

I'll be honest. I destroy vacuums. I've had Hoovers, Dirt Devils, Kirby's, Eureka, and a few odd names I can't remember. Why so many? Well, my small house is home to 2 very active adults, 5 dogs (4 are over 85lbs), 3 Parrots, 2 turtles, and other animals I've fostered for a local rescue. I vacuum daily, some times 2x. I just received the Bissell 3920 Pet to replace my good ol' Hoover Fusion. So as a test here's what I did:

Moved everything out of the rooms that have carpet. (2 rooms + hallway.)

Vacuumed with the Hoover in all directions so as to get up as much hair and dirt as I could. Empty the cup and did it again. Didn't get much the second time. OK, carpet clean right?

Assembled the Bissell. Not to hard, just make sure you attach the cord wind area to the handle before putting in the screws.

Lets look at how the design is:

1. It's huge and heavy. It towers over my Hoover. I'm almost 6' and the handle on this beast reaches almost to my chest. Due to it's size, it seems that it's gonna be a pain to maneuver. (But it's not...)

2. Big plus here: The inlet from the rollers (where things get sucked up at) is not way out at one end. This means a more even suction while in use. Great design and it pulls in more junk!

3. If there was 1 thing I would change it would be the cord reel. It's only about 8" apart. This thing has a 35' cord, that's gonna take a long time to wind up.

4. Filters are in easy to get to areas unlike most of the other vacuums I've had.

5. That pet hair attachment on the front folds nicely up out of the way, and stays there.

6. The attachments snap into place and stay out of the way.

7. Noise: Actually, unless you're used to a really, really quiet vac, this thing is not that loud. Then again, I have 2 Macaws, so noise isn't really an issue to me.

Ok, now to use it:

Plug it in, flick the switch, and it took off! Uh, it's not self propelled right? No, the roller is just that strong. OK, re-adjust the height settings and we're good. Just 2 passes and I already saw stuff flying around in the dirt cup. Eh? Remember I thought the size was going to make this hard to use? Well, it rolls so easy it's like a 5lb vac! So I finish all the carpets and well, it filled the cup! As far as getting carpet clean, It works great. Pulled out hair I never even saw, got very close to the walls. Even the carpet by the back door that gets all matted down and tracked in dirt on it looks great.

Hard floors: So I saw some reviews stating this thing does nothing on hard floors. Well, hold on a sec let me try... Ok, now I feel lazy. That was too easy. I use a broom normally, I mean that's what they're made for right? This Bissell picked up all the dog hair, bird seed and those really annoying fluff feathers like it was nothing! Works good enough Mom won't know I didn't scrub it before she visits next time.

Now this critter has a few attachments for furniture and such, lets see how well they work... OK, I just did my sectional couch in about 5 minutes with this turbo brush. I've used these before and usually end up tossing them since they run on nothing but suction to drive the roller. Normally, the roller stops moving once it comes in contact with the fabric on the furniture. Uh, not this one. Yes it's still suction driven, but this Bissell has enough suction that the roller never even slowed down! No joke. Ok, well that's all fine and dandy, but does it pick up 5 different types of dog hair. YES! Long, medium, short, undercoat, and Bulldog! (if you ever had a bull dog you know what I mean. Needle like hair that can't be pulled off.)

Unit is well balanced for as tall as it is. Some have stated it falls over when using the attachments. I didn't seem to have that problem, just make sure you push the handle all the way forward to lock it in place. That also lifts the roller off the floor enough that it's not beating your carpet to death.

Well. I'm impressed, and that takes a lot for me.

All in all, the only 2 things I don't like are the cord reel and the power switch. It's just in an odd place.

Is it worth the $150 I paid? Yeah, and then some. Of course only time will tell how long it will last but while I have it, it looks like it's gonna work great.

Admittedly I'm not the purchaser... but I wanted to throw in my two cents anyway after seeing this baby in action.

I have just finished over 4 months of cat-sitting; two cats, one of them long-haired. The amount of cat hair covering and embedded into the carpets, rugs and furniture was ridiculous. I couldn't keep up with it.

The cats' owner bought this vacuum after seeing it on TV, and yesterday she came over to pick up the cats and attempt to clean up the hair. Both of us were stunned as to just how well this thing does what it says it's supposed to do. The entire time, we couldn't stop expressing our amazement.

It was fairly easy to assemble, and the assortment of attachments is very useful. Not to mention that the price is ridiculously reasonable for what you get. Believe the hype, that's all I can say.

I have 5 pets and hair in my home is a constant problem. I've owned bissell before and wanted another vacuum specifically for pet hair. Bissell offers this vacuum at a reaonable price and is quite affordable.

After quickly assembling the vacuum (I believe 3 screws total) and placement of the accessories, I was ready to go. There is an accessory you lower to actually pull up the hair before it is sucked up. Great!

The accessories are very friendly to your staircase (and wood areas) with rubber tips. They have great suction as well.

Only one negative comment, if you leave the vacuum on carpet while you use the attachments with the hose, it is so powerful it will actually LIFT up your carpet, so be careful to mind it.

All in all, one of the best vacuums I've purchased!

Honest reviews on BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, 3920

Edited to add: I had to come back and add that this product is not durable or reliable. The power cord frayed dangerously in normal use/storage conditions, and the motor went after just over 18 months. I definitely would not recommend this vacuum for anyone to purchase, despite its remarkable power at pulling animal fur out of rugs and furniture. I have kept my prior review below, from just after I purchased the machine in 2008.

We have a long-haired cat and two children, and overall we've been happy with the Pet Hair Eraser. The biggest drawback is the frequency of clogs in the upper dirt collection area. I've had to resort to using a plastic chopstick to poke around and dislodge the clogs after each and every use. Having to vacuum the outside of the vacuum cleaner when you're done emptying it is a little disheartening!

That said, the vacuum is incredible on pet hair on carpet. This vacuum literally saved one of my area rugs from the trash. The weave trapped cat fur in a disgusting fashion, and no other vacuum could get rid of it. It was amazing to see how well this product worked.

I would also not recommend this product if you suffer from pet hair or dust mite allergies, due to the mess of emptying the dirt container. A traditional bag vacuum with a true HEPA filter would be a better choice.

Was my carpet REALLY that dirty? Why, yes it was.

The story: My old Hoover Dirtfinder upright, given to me as a gift 10 years ago when my daughter was born, stopped working. The belt needed replacing. I'm pretty handy, so I gave it a whirl. No dice. The old girl apparently has virtually no user-serviceable parts, belts are hard to find, and Hoover no longer offers the manual as a digital download. What to do? Shell out $50+ for a professional fix, or try something new? Since we now have two cats and the aforementioned daughter has long, long hair, we went for the Bissel Pet Hair Eraser.

I have vacuumed once a week, religiously, since we got the cats one year ago. So I thought the carpets in our small apartment were probably not that bad. Boy, was I wrong. I rolled the thing over an area about 4 feet square...and had to empty the canister. On to the next 4 foot square. Empty again. The next square...and empty. I vacuumed our two-bedroom apartment over the course of the first afternoon, and had to empty that canister ten times. Ten.

Was my carpet really that dirty? Apparently, yes.

Only drawback: Be careful what you suck up under that whirling dervish of a cleaning brush. In the first ten minutes, I destroyed the nylon strap of a backpack, obliterated at least one Littlest Pet Shop toy and pulled up the corner of a linoleum kitchen tile. Oh, and be EXTREMELY careful about not running over the unit's own power cord. Yeah, I pulled the insulation off a section of that, too. It's that strong.

Highly, highly recommended. If you can stomach the sight of those first few canisters of yuck, when you were sure your carpet was clean. *shudder*

I love this bowl, easily one of my favorite purchases.

It's never going to go on trips, it's meant to sit pretty, and it is OHHHH so pretty, in my apartment. I have a Boxer, he's 3, and 75 pounds, it's taken me THIS long to get him a dog bowl for big dogs. I'm not sure why the rivers he left around his 3.5 cup silver bowls didn't inspire me to get a larger bowl sooner. I NEVER clean up water around the bowl anymore, and I don't have to fill the bowl 5 times a day (thank goodness, cuz it's so heavy LOL). I fill it 1x a day, and his massively wide tongue can dance around the 8 cup square bowl all it wants!!! Have I mentioned I LOVE this bowl? :)

PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty Reviews

PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty, 25.5' x 20' x 2'
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I have a chihuahua that has recently decided she no longer likes to use her puppy pads, but the rugs instead. After replacing the rugs in my house (not cheap), I had to look for another solution since I live in a very urban area (West Hollywood) and do not have a yard. After spending countless hours researching the different grass options, I decided to try this since it was very cheap compared to similar products. I even considered a local company that delivers fresh sod every 2 weeks, however, at a cost of $40+/mo and $100+ for the unit I decided to try a more economical option first. I will be the first to admit that I am surprised my dog has used this potty exclusively since I received it about a week ago, no further training was required and she seemed to gravitate to this naturally. For the price, I was very surprised with the quality, it seems pretty well made, as I was really expecting some cheap junk. I don't know if they sell replacement grass pads, but the unit is so inexpensive I'm planning on buying a new one if it starts to smell or deteriorate over time (for the price you cannot expect this to last forever!) Now to the negative, it is gross to clean. If you can get your dog to just use a puppy pad, it is sooo much easier to just toss it and replace it every day, but if your dog refuses I would recommend this. After a couple days of use it started to smell (what do you expect), so I had to dump out the tray in the toilet (gross), and rinse all of the components off in the shower. I rinsed everything off with dish soap, then clorox wipes, and put the grass outside in the sun to dry. If I stick my nose against the grass, it does not smell pretty. I am going to buy some ZeroOdor spray and use that after every cleaning (which will probably be every couple days). This isn't the most efficient solution (puppy pads are), and cleaning this thing will get very old soon, BUT it is either put up with the hassle, or replace my rugs every couple days and live in filth. Obviously, the latter is not an option for me, so I am very happy with my purchase :-)

The Good: Works great! I live in a condo and have the pet park out on the patio. It's only been a few days and my english bulldog puppy already knows to go there on his own. Easy enough to clean.

The Not as Good: The basin below the grassy patch is very shallow, so I'm sure once my dog grows up I'll have to upgrade; for now though, it easily accommodates a day's worth of elimination. Also, because the grass patch just rests on the plastic tray below, my dog occasionally tries to scratch and pull it up; if this sounds like something your dog might do, I wouldn't leave your dog unattended with the pet park unless you clamp the grass to the tray and/or ensure that he's been trained to not play/scratch/bite it. Also, be sure to remove any loose plastic grass blades when you get it.

Overall, works as advertised. Definitely made my life easier.

This has been the best purchase. I bought this for our travel trailer. Sometimes we leave the dogs in the trailer while we go out and they sometimes cannot wait until we get back. They love to use the green grass to potty. I do not have to get up in the middle of the night to take them out to pee. They just use the PetZoom pet park. I put a puppy pad between the grass and the pan and just throw it away after they use it. When we get home we hose it off and store it ready for the next trip. I would recommend this for small dogs especially. This is a great litter box for small dogs.

Honest reviews on PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty

In theory this product works really well. My dog loved peeing on it and took to it with no problem. However, I was unaware of how disgusting it would smell. If I had thought about it (concentrated amounts of pee in one spot) I would have realized before purchasing how gross it would be. As well, if you accidentally tip it while trying to empty it, you would end up with pee all over you and the floor. While it is "eco friendly" because you are re-using the same product over and over, it is so awful that it is not worth it! The pee smell permeated throughout my condo and made me want to gag.

Seems like people have tried all sorts of methods for cleaning their Pet Zooms with average results. I have had mine for about 5 months now and am not having a problem with the smell at all. Here's what I do:

-Take it to the bathtub and spray it down until the water runs clear.

-Lay it flat and intact (grass in tray, etc) in the tub and sprinkle about 1/4-1/2 cup bleach (I use scented).

-Fill the tray to the brim with water.

-Let soak for about 30 minutes.

-Dump bleach water out and rinse all parts separately VERY WELL.

-Allow to dry COMPLETELY before using.

Do this once a week, weekends are best when you are home to take your dog outside yourself.

Using bleach is a common way to disinfect pet toys and even baby toys, as long as you rinse it very well and allow it to dry! Also, try to keep the poops outdoors, as this will cut down on the cleaning hassle significantly.

My dog was initially reluctant to use this (she was never trained on puppy pads, just outside grass), but I found that if I led her to it with a leash and just hung out on it, she would eventually go. Now she uses it during the day when I'm at work, no problem!

I like the length of the grass, it's nice and short which makes it much easier to clean. The tray is pretty basic, nothing fancy. I do with it was another color other than black so I could see how dirty it was, but oh well. For the price it's great!

UPDATE:

I've had this for almost two years now and it is no longer possible to keep the grass from smelling for more than a day or two. I highly recommend getting these washable puppy pads http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B3W6C8/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

My dog is so used to going on the tray that she didn't even blink when I made the switch. I replace it every 2-3 days and just wash them with some detergent and a tiny amount of bleach. Smells fresh and new every time!

Pros:

1. It is taller than others, making it harder to be climbed over.

2. It serves its purpose; we couldn't live without it with twins crawling in 2 different directions.

3. Compared to others that aren't as flimsy, the price is right. The other option is metal and it's 2 times the price for half the size.

4. We added the extension and it's the perfect size for both our twins. They both have plenty of space to crawl around and all their toys.

5. Door.

6. Does fold up well to take with you

7. It does provide a safe place to put non-walking infants while you shower, pee, make dinner, etc. We use it everyday. I recommend the Step2 blue mat to go under it to avoid bumps.

8. It is easy to transport since it is light-weight.

Cons:

1. It is a little bit flimsy. You have to keep the door closed and latched or the whole thing will fall over when baby climbs on it.

2. Holes are perfect size for baby to stick hands/feet in and climb. By 9 months, my twins were able to climb half way up.

3. Only one door, others I've seen have a door on every other section, but this isn't a big issue and would probably make it even more unstable.

4. The biggest downer is that when my twins were only 8 months old, they could already move the entire thing around, including off the mat. I can only imagine how they will move the thing around when they can walk. It will defeat its purpose then since they'll be able to take off with gate in hand and get to what they want. It's too light-weight.

5. I only recommend it for babies not walking yet. Unless you tether it down to a piece of furniture or hooks on a wall, it's not useable for very long since they can slide it around when they start walking (see # 4). I would like to get more use out of it.

6. The "handle" is useless to carry it with. It's just a strap that you snap around it. The minute I picked up the gate with it, it came unsnapped. It needs something permanent.

7. It does look like a cage. I wish the slats were vertical...it would make it harder for them to climb and take away the cage-look. Who wants to "cage" their children like animals??

Overall, for the price, I would recommend it since it does serve its purpose. I've done my research, and for a plastic gate, this is the best one out there since it is taller and can be made larger with the extension. A metal one I've seen wouldn't be as flimsy, but then it would be too heavy to make it portable like this one. I guess there isn't such a thing as the "perfect play yard" all around.

**UPDATE**

My twins are now 15 months old and we are still using this play yard everyday. They are walking now and can move it around but because all the toys are in the way, etc., it keeps it somewhat in place so they never go far with it. They just move it off the mat a foot or so which still keeps them refined to one area for safety's sake. They don't like staying in there by themselves as they prefer their freedom now, so I have to get in with them while they play or they cry. There is plenty of room for me, the two of them, and TONS and TONS of toys! My biggest complaint now would have to be the holes they are the perfect size for little feet to climb. My kids can get all the way to the top so we can't leave them unattended at all. Since my kids prefer their freedom now, I think we will be packing it away soon (or using it as a large single gate across an entire room instead of an enclosed play yard), but it has been a life saver and I got more/longer use out of it then I ever thought I would.

Our 10 month old daughter is very active and very tall (30"). We thought this play yard would help contain her mischievous ways while mom and dad caught their breath.

Here are a few things we LIKE about it:

1. It's tall and the spacing of the holes is tiny. Too tiny for little toes and fingers to figure out how to climb.

2. It's relatively easy to put together. Yes, a little elbow grease is involved, but nothing that mom can't handle herself. No advanced degrees or sweaty handymen required. (Well, unless that's your thing.)

3. The pieces can be taken apart and used to block off other areas. I've used them as guards to keep her from going behind the entertainment center, couch, floor-length windows, etc.

NOW A WORD OF WARNING:

4. This product can be flimsy. If your child is into "extreme sports" or you feel has a career in stunt-doubling, this is not the product for you.

5. When completely joined, the play area is too small to be enjoyable. The extension is almost a necessity. It's quite obvious to our daughter when she is being "trapped" inside the play yard to play.

6. It says "gate with handle" and, yes, it has one. But it is extremely difficult to latch and unlatch. I would call it more "one of the panels has a plastic piece that you can attempt to unsnap, if you dare."

I have two toddlers(one who has special neeeds)who spend a HUGE amount of time in their play yard. The previous play yard I had was made by Aosom and was recalled due to choking hazards and lacerations. I researched many many play yards to find a replacement. My husband and I chose this one. It's nice and roomy but my toddlers can push it all over the place. My littlest one got his arm caught in one of the slot openings the first day we got it. My older one can literally bend the plastic all the way backwards. NOT happy with the quality of this at all!

Honest reviews on Summer Playsafe Playard, Tan

We purchased 2 of the Summer Infant Secure Surround Play Safe Play Yards so that we could have a large space for our daughter to play in, and flexability. It has been perfect our daughter loves to go in "her space" and play, and it gives us some security knowing that she wont dart out into less safe parts of the house in a moment's inattention. We even join her in "her space" because she likes to play there so much, it is where we play with her!

The yard is very flexable in its use at home, as our daughter is in "cruizer" mode, we arranged the yard so that her favorite couch is inside the walls, so she can cruise along the couch and get her walking practice! We also take one or two of the yards with us on visits, giving us a quick way to create a safe haven for her in homes that are not necessarily child proofed.

Not much more to say other than it works as needed, is sturdy, easy to transport it was exactly what we needed.

Works well to temporarily house an infant/toddler and toys when I need to disappear to the loo or remove something hot from the oven. The folding process takes a bit to get used to and the knobs you are supposed to tighten in place and loosen to fold don't really do anything. It is only stable in the hexagon configuration. It comes in handy, especially while caring for two, and I am glad we have it.

I like that this product had a short list of natural ingredients. My puppy hasn't had any ear problems, but when he needs to get cleaned up a bit I wipe the inside of his floppy ears with this. The smell is pleasant and my puppy seems to enjoy the soothing feeling (he comes over when I have the bottle out and he sits still while I handle his ears).

The instructions do suck as few reviewers noted. A simple way to remedy this is to take a very good look at the photo of it on the web, take a good look at the bill of material, realize that there are 3 different lengths of various posts and two flat platforms are slightly different one has a pre-drilled hole for a rope, the other doesn't. Then start building it from bottom up, NOT from the top to bottom as the instructions suggest. Make sure you tighten each section well before you attach a next one. As few reviewers suggested, skip the ladders, totally useless, our 3 months old kittens have no problem jumping from the floor straight up to the top of the lower hiding hole, no ladders needed anywhere. Also, the very top piece (and a long screw with a wingnut on it) seemed to be a bit of a mystery until I realized that it serves as an expansion piece so the whole construction can be tightened up against the ceiling (8 feet ceiling) which severely improves overall stability of it. I also switched a few pieces around (middle platform with a basket) to what I thought the cats will like better, it's quite doable. I'd give it 5 if it wasn't for horrible assembly instructions. BTW, if you're dead set to not buy "Made in China" stuff, this IS made in China, I was disappointed but not surprised. It took about 1/2 hour to assemble, fits nicely in the corner of their room. The rope isn't sisal but looks like manilla rope. The cats (three 3-months siblings, one 5-moths old) like it and use it for scratcher posts. Would I buy again? Probably not but only because it's made in China. I'd build something similar myself instead (I am relatively comfortable with hand tools).

This is the worst tree I have ever bought, it fell on my wifes head when my cat jumped on it because its design is defective, the part that connects to the ceiling is so poorly made that you can't attach it securely to the ceiling, and in turn, the base is so thin that if it isn't attached to the top, it just will fall and crash to the ground. It severely hurt my wife and when I contacted the seller to tell them that I would not keep the product, they told me that I would have to send them a picture of the defective part, when the defective part was their design. They were vile and accused me of trying to get an item for free, when I was just trying to get a return label, I even told them that I would try another design, but they were the worst and I beg anyone to try the many other manufacturers that make quality cat trees and that stand behind their products, but I have never had any experience like this from any seller on Amazon in the 12 years that I have been with them.

My Kitties love it... The directions sucked but my man can put anything together so no biggie! Much cheaper than getting this at the pet store, thou it would be more awesome if it were covered in actual carpet like the more expensive ones instead of furry cloth but you get what you pay for! I'm Def. happy with it!

Honest reviews on GoPetClub "Jungle GYM" Cat Tree Furniture Condo Bed House Pet

Like the last reviewer, the instructions are a bit deceiving. After 10 extra minutes of correcting the mistakes I made,it was fairly easy to put together. The cats are a bit afraid of it for now, but I think they will love it when they get used to this new thing in their home. Well worth the money spent. The box it came in was also questionable. You see the dimensions of the condo, and it comes in this smallish box and you think,"Where's box 2?????" But, it's all in there!!! Will futher report the likings of the condo from the tenants when they get used to it.

Overall satisfied.

Not particularly keen on the nicotine-stain gold color.

Instructions are easy to follow if paid close attention to detail, just be sure to have the condos and the base facing the right ways or you'll be taking the whole thing apart again to fix any one thing put together wrong.

The ladders had to come off, otherwise it would be very difficult for the cats to traverse up and down or lay on top of the condos.

At first none of the cats would have anything to do with it, a little cat nip solved that instantly.

And, I found it useful to reverse the order of the platform and basket by the second tier condo by putting the platform below the basket contrary to the instructions having the platform above the basket. This makes it much easier for cats to move from the top of the second condo downward, otherwise there's nothing to step down onto without jumping to the floor.

Kilt learning the Lucky Yuppy Puppy treat dispenser for the first time. Even our 13 yr. old Labrador learned how to do it after about 3 different tries. :0)

Only one of our three dogs learned to use the machine, which is fine, because she's the one we bought it for! It took her no time to learn to use it. She looks like a little factory worker pushing the lever up and down. We've had it for five years, but my son accidentally stepped on it tonight and broke the plastic dome. This is an excellent product that has withstood a lot of rough use (up until now). We have to order another one immediately so Katie will still have her own private cache of food!

Honest reviews on The Yuppy Puppy Treat Machine Dog "Gumball" Machine

My dogs have to work for their dry food, end up they lost weight because each press only few drops come out and they take longer time to finish the food. Remember don't put too full just put what they need. It is a fun Treat Machine, I enjoy very mush to watch them, especially when taught them to get food from the machine. One of my dogs press the machine each time he pass by, he is not taking the food, just loves to play--so cute.

My dobermans love Yuppy Puppy. The enclosed pamphlet says it can take up to two weeks for your dog to learn how to work it, but that is probably an exaggeration as food is a great motivator. One of my dogs learned how to use it in under five minutes, using her paw, the other took about a day and prefers to use her snout to depress the lever. I tried to teach her with her paw but she learned her own way to do it. It is cute to watch them and is much anticipated when I say "Work the Machine!" Product is built sturdy for heavy use by mongrels and stays in place well. Doesn't tip over. Highly recommended.

I have an 11 week old Chihuahua that is about 2.5 lbs and this is one that he is going to need to grow into. I have purchased several pieces for him and this one says that it is an XXS but fits more like an XS in my opinion. Good quality and super cute so I will hang on to it for later.

This is good shampoo, that just smells to much for my liking. It is rather thin and seems to take a lot to bath the dog. I probably would not buy it again, mainly because the odor is just to over powering.
