Neat 'n Dry Dog Training Pads -Large Size are the best doggie wee pads I have ever used. The small size is a bit too small (even little dogs need room to sniff and circle), but the large is perfect. It is the most absorbent pad so there is no puddle under the dog's feet while she is peeing. The borders are also good which is important to me because my dog often pees near the edge, which is a problem when the pads have a plastic border so that the pees runs off and onto the floor. These pads are good even along the borders (as long as the dog doesn't totally miss the pad alltogether).

Tried a lot of other brands and this is the best by far. "Neat n Dry" says it all. These pads are super absorbent, and they turn urine into a gel. Translation = no more drippy messes. The size is just right for my dog too. I have a Havanese who only weighs 14 pounds, but even little dogs need room to move around. These pads are expensive though, so most people like myself will try cheaper brands first. None were much better than using newspapers though, and I wasted a lot of money in finding that out.

I received this product about 3 days ago and by far these are the worst puppy pads I have dealt with. I literally put up the pee pad before bed and waked up in the morning to pick it up and noticed it was soaked underneath. I have bought several different brands over the years. I never had a pad before that if I go out for the day to work, When I get back home I go to replace the pad and find soak through the bottom. I am just grateful I have tile floors. Let me preference this, this is used by a small dog. Most of her pee spots are size of a dollar coin. On the other brands of pads she has pee on, Hartz, Arm and Hammer, Nature's Miracle etc, I have never had this issue before. It has been reasonable for me with every other brand to be gone for about 10 hours, come home, pick up the pad and not have it soaked underneath. I really have to question a lot of these recent positive reviews. Maybe the positive reviews from 4 years ago dealt with a better quality of product but this pad does not live up to any reasonable expectations, especially after buying about 5 different brand of pads that never had any soak through underneath. If there is a review you are looking for to trust, trust mine and trust the negative ones. I do not do product reviews and in order for me to get on my chair to post one this product has to be absolutely the most dreadful item I had to dealt with in this product's category.

Save yourself a headache, do not buy these pads. It really angers me that a product that average's 4 stars burnt me so badly.

******Update for clarification 8/03/13******

So it has been two years since I wrote this review and have looked over some of the comments and figure I answer some of those responses here.

First the Chihuahua using the pads is a 5 pound female. She always went to the middle of the pad, squat, and then pee. The wet spot would be exactly underneath in the same location of her pee spot.

There was never any peeing done on the edges were it would seep underneath nor would I complain about something like that.

There has been several reviews after mine that has stated the same experience. Maybe it was a bad batch but at the time I had ordered I had saw complaints of the same problem.

Currently I use the Amazon link Hartz Home Protection Pads for Dogs, 50 ct., Hartz Protection Pads. They have the same technology were it turns the urine into gel. Once again though, I have bought several different pads as an avid dog owner and these were the only ones that ever leaked underneath on me. I get these though at the local Costco were it is cheaper than Amazon but not everybody has a Costco membership. Costco does sell 100 of those Hartz Pads for about 16 dollars which is a better deal.

But all in all, I always have bought the cheapest pads and none of them had ever leaked except these.

Honest reviews on IRIS Neat 'n Dry Floor Protection and Training Pads for Puppies

My stay-at-home dachshund and Yorkie are very spoiled for cleanliness and these wee-wee pads hold more moisture with no scent than the cheaper brands. I find it very convenient to have a latrine at home and use about one or two pads per 24 hours for back-up bathroom purposes. The small size is fine for small dogs and the price is very good in this package format.

We previously used these pads when they had different packaging and were much less expensive and the pads were great. They raised the price and must have done something to the quality of the pads as they are TERRIBLE. My little 5 pound dog's pee goes right through them onto the floor (which defeats the purpose of the pads) and has us cleaning the floor numerous times a day (defeating the entire purpose of the pad). I find it hard to believe that nobody can make a pad that is actually absorbant enough to handle a little dog. I was actually thinking of trying to double up these pads to see if that way the floor is not soaked so often. These pads were a complete waste of money and were some of the worst pads I have ever used. I strongly recommend that people use other pads as these were TERRIBLE.

Before getting this carrier I had the traditional hard carrier and my cat hated getting into it. He actually likes this carrier and I have no hassle with putting him in it. He even just gets in it automatically if I put it out a few hours before the vet.

Not only do I use this for vet visits, but also for the 10 hour drive from home and back for the holidays. This carrier gives him plenty of room to move around on that long drive.

I have nothing but good things to say about this carrier, and it cost a lot less than the other carriers the same size. Not to mention it's hard find a carrier that fits a 15lb cat!

Only negative thing I have to say is the straps are really long, but I just tied it to shorten them up so I can put it on my shoulder.

I bought this size by mistake, too big for my dog, but kept it and use it in my home. I also bought the next size down and it's perfect. Very easy set up. Soft mat. Lots of viewing areas for the dog. Great portable crate.

Just received the crate. The shipper (Cavalier Wholesale), sent the wrong color. I ordered the blue plaid and got the pink plaid. Not a huge disappointment; it's a crate to keep in my truck for when the dogs travel with me so it's not that big of a deal. Still, I'd have preferred the blue and that's why I am giving the review only four stars. Also, the crate isn't quite 30". It's just shy of 29. I measured it twice when I had it put together. Again; not a huge deal; my two Pomeranians have plenty of room to move around and lie down in it.

The crate is really nice. Very easy to set up; just connect the two tubes of the frame inside. Took literally two minutes. It comes with a nice carry bag and also a small bag that attaches to the crate as well as a little storage area on the top, and a thin mat which is faux fleece on one side. It's very similar to the original Pet Gear soft crate I have (before they changed the model and made it more flimsy). This one is very stable and overall, it's an excellent buy.

I bought the football last Christmas for my then 2 year old golden retriever. Very few toys survive her chewing but the football is still completely intact. She loves the bounce it has when we throw it across the room for her. When she's done chasing it she will usually settle down with it and chew away but she is unable to put even the smallest hole in it. I would have to say this is the best money I have ever spent on a dog toy and I am planning on getting her a couple more Orbee-Tuff toys for Christmas this year. I never thought I would find a dog toy that would still be in the same shape a year later. Very impressed.

I don't know what this stuff is made from, but it is AWESOME!! And completely INDESTRUCTIBLE! When I opened the box and saw how soft and flexible it was I thought for sure my chessie's would have it gone in one chomp...almost a week later and its still in one piece!! Not a single solitary knick, crack, or nibble has been removed from this ball. Orbee-Tuff balls are THEE balls to get for overly agressive chewers or just plain old destructo mutts (like mine!). I also love that these balls are made from non-toxic ingredients, so I feel a lot safer giving them to my two dogs. All I know is, I will be making many recurring purchases for Orbee toys, forget Kong and Nylabone...THANK YOU Orbee for giving me hours of piece and quiet!!! Along with hours of fun for my dogs!!!

Honest reviews on Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Football

As my title stated, this lasted about 10 minutes before it was a pile of "Orbee-Tuff" rubber. I rated it 3 stars because that is actually pretty average with my pit-bull and she definitely enjoyed it. I have been shopping online for toys that match the durability of the Kong Extreme series. The Amazon site (at least at time of purchase) made no mention of the "4 out of 5 chompers" rating or I likely would not have purchased. Luckily it is guaranteed 100%. I will exchange for their "Orbee-Tuff" ball, which seems to be stronger. Some other reviews rate this as indestructible, which may be true for dogs with less strength. For those of us with extremely strong-jawed dogs I recommend this only as a fetch toy.

My 2 yr old golden destroyed the ball in 1 day. She was able to pull it apart at the opening on the tip of the football. She hasn't been able to destroy the Planet Dog snowball, diamond plated ball or glow in the dark orbee. The 5 chomper rating seems to be pretty accurate with these toys. The football was a 4 chomper. The football is a good outdoor retrieving toy, but not good for constant chewing.

I got this product after much thought and research for my 7 year old European Burmese who tends to be restless and anxiety prone. In the past he has also had problems with aggression toward another cat in my home and spraying.

He has been on 5 mg of Prozac for the past 3 years and each time I have tried to wean him off the Prozac his noisy, restless behavior comes back within a week or two.

I am a veterinary nurse at a feline exclusive hospital and our veterinarians are recommending these NurtureCALM Pheromone Collars for cats with anxiety and behavior issues. The feedback so far has been very encouraging. It is my hope that with the help of the NurtureCALM collar my cat will be able to be weaned off Prozac.

There are several things that I don't like about the collar. It is made of a very stiff plastic like material that tends to crack and break easily. In fact the collar that I purchased was cracked in several places and the buckle was about to break off.

I ended up having to return the collar for a replacement. This was discouraging considering the high cost of the collar. The other big problem with the collar is that it is covered with a messy, flaky white substance. Apparently this is what "holds" the pheromone.

I was very concerned that it would have an unpleasant odor but it does not. The flaky white stuff is messy but I am hoping that in time it will be less so. Also, keep in mind that the collars only last about 60 days.

My cat has worn the calming collar now for about 4 weeks and I can see that it has made a huge difference in his restless behavior without making him dull. I am now giving him his Prozac every other day and he is doing well.

The flaky white stuff quickly dissapated, so it ended up not being a problem. I will continue to purchase this product and very much recommend it to cat owners who are experiencing behavior issues.

Bart is about 12 years old now and has had inappropriate peeing issues for most of his life. We have had endless tests at the vet and the general opinion is that it is behavioral. Two years ago I finally put him on prozac because I just couldn't take it anymore. I also adopted a few other strategies such as confining him to the upstairs of our house (instead of allowing him to roam the entire house), locking him in cage when I go out for prolonged periods and using pherome sprays. Adopting the multiple responses has for the most part worked. Instead of cleaning up 2 or 3 pee's a day I now may see one a week. But I decided to use the collar as an adjunctive to all the other stuff to see if we could achieve even better results. And we have. He has stopped peeing everywhere and is using his box regularly. The pherome's on the collar seem to keep him incredibly calm. Are there drawbacks? Yes. It's costly -each collar only last about 1 month so you have to replace it regularly and it isn't cheap. But for me -not having to worry about whether or not I am going to have to go on another pee hunt is worth it. Also the collar is plastic and not very pliant. But I expect this has to do with how the pheromes are deployed. The white chalky substance is a bit overwhelming when you get the collar out of the packaging but it disappears very quickly. I would recommend this product to anyone in my boat. That said I am not to sure (after reading all of the reviews) that it is appropriate for all behavioral problems.

I have 6 cats with the 6th being a new arrival that my daughter brought to me that was very undernourished and homeless. When the last kitty came all you know what broke loose and I was having spraying and inappropriate urination issues along with fighting going on. I have the new arrival seperate from the other most of the time but I am trying to slowly get everyone to get along. I got the spraying and urine areas all cleaned up but there is still a lot of friction in the house among the cats along with my anxiety dealing with it all. Anyway I ordered 4 of these collars. Two of them are for the major offenders of fighting and the other two are for two of the cats that are really stressed about everything. I put the collars on the major offenders first and noticed a big difference in the level of stress amoung the cats. A day later I put the collars on the remaining two cats and within three days the stress level has really gone down. There is a little checking each other out going on but I think they are used to the fighting that was going on so I feel that will subside as time goes on.

I am very impressed with the collar. I have used the feliway spray and diffuser and neither has helped to this level. I will be purchasing this item again when the effect wears off and will probably just get two for the major offenders as the stress situation with the others will have died down by then. I would recommend this to anyone having problems with their cat dealing with stressful situations. Now they just need to make a collar like this for us humans:}

Honest reviews on NurtureCALM 24/7 Feline Calming Pheromone Collar (Upto 15" Neck)

I used the calming collars in tandem with some calming drops for a cross-country move. I would say the calming drops worked more effectively than the collars. Based on other reviews of this item prior to purchase, I knew that the collars may or may not work on my cats. I would say that the collars did a good job but would not recommend them on their own (if moving or in a car for an extended period of time). If you're looking for a significant difference in your cats demeanor, I would not go this route.

I was also surprised by the collars themselves. It appeared that the white substance on them was the calming pheremone. I was expecting a fabric collar that was sturdier.

Side note: don't use these as the cats' main collars they break pretty easily. I put these on my cats with their regular collars still on had to grab one who tried to make a run from the car and the calming collar broke. Just an FYI.

We tried both this collar and the Sentry pheromone collar. The Sentry collar had an overwhelming, horrible perfumey "lavender-chamomile" fragrance that we couldn't stand (and we weren't sure how our cat felt about it either).

This collar seems to work well and has minimal-to-no odor --our cats have been much more friendly to each other, grooming and sleeping together, since we put the collars on them.

One note --the actual product title is nurtureCALM not NatureCalm. Anyhow, buy this one, not the Sentry! Also worlds more effective than the Feliway diffusers.

Review of PoochieBells "Mudslide Paw Prints" Dog Potty Training Doorbell Tool

Customer Ratings:

I used the bell training method 6 years ago when I got my bichon. It was very effective and she understood it right away. At that time I made my own hanging bells using a loud Christmas bell in a liberty bell shape at the end of a cord. I highly recommend the method.

After she was trained and had grown bigger, she gave the bell such a whack that it started to chip the paint on the door, so I replaced it with a Christmas door hanger with bells on the bottom just a bit larger than the Poochie Bells. That hanger started to show some wear so I decided to get the Poochie Bells since I thought the Mudslide print would go well with my color scheme. I expected the bells to be at least as loud as the Christmas door hanger.

The print is only on one side and , unfortunately, using the loop at the top which goes over the doorknob does not cause the ribbon to lay flat. I had to put a ribbon through that hanger and tie that to the doorknob in order to have the print side consistently show. That seems to be a design defect.

The major disappointment for me, though, is the volume of the bells. They are very soft. Fortunately, for me, my dog is so well trained, that if someone doesn't hear her ring the bell, she will go back and give it an even harder smack until she does get a response. For someone just training a dog by this method, I doubt that is likely to happen if they are in another room and don't hear the very soft jingle this bell makes.

I think it probably makes more sense to go to a craft store and get the ribbon pattern one desires and then to buy the a nice loud set of bells to attach. The whole point is being able to hear the signal that your dog wants to go out.

Review of Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss - Heavy Duty Chew Ball w/ Handle

Customer Ratings:

I purchased 3 of these horse-hybrid balls for my 70lb English Bulldog in the 6", 8" and 10" sizes. The balls feel nice and strong, but that's to my human hands, and not to determined canine teeth. I started off giving her the 8" ball, and within minutes she had chewed a chunk out of the handle. In about an hour she had chewed the handle completely off, leaving a large, sharp, jagged hole in the top of the ball, which, much to her chagrin, caused me to take it from her and throw it in the trash. I will probably return the other two balls to Amazon. I was hoping these balls would be more durable, but if you have a passionate chewer, these balls won't last more than a few minutes...

Okay, I saw this at a local farm supply store and didn't realize it was for horses and brought it home for my dogs...both of which are big gentle babes who just love to play. The only other toys they didn't destroy in minutes is the Kong line until now! The first time I brought one of these home they chewed through the handle but the ball is still going strong months later. The second one they left the handle on...seriously it's like the figured out what it's for and neither of them chewed it! In any case, this quickly became THE favorite toy...I actually had to get a 2nd one so they don't get jealous. Very durable although the handle can be chewed through but it still won't impact the performance of the ball which takes a LOT of abuse. Non toxic, hollow center, easy to hose down and at least for my boys, this provides a happy exercise time daily for several months now.

My German Shepherd had this ball for all of 3 hours before the handle was chewed off and there were holes all over it. It's about a month old now, and don't know how much life it has in it? She could destroy it quickly if she set out to do so. And the 6" size is really too small for her. She's small at 65 pounds, so I thought 8" would have been too much...it would have been better.

Honest reviews on Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss - Heavy Duty Chew Ball w/ Handle

I own two Labrador Retrievers , both of whom will tell you the Jolly Ball is their best dog toy ever created. We kick it, roll it, throw it, play chase, smother it, run& subdue it. It is the best play for giving the Labs exercise I have. The dogs are experts at chasing & subduing a rolling Jolly Ball, grabbing the handle & retrieving it back for another toss. If you put it away after play and do not allow your dog to lay & chew on the ball unattended it will last for a very long time. The original balls I bought are 2 years plus and going strong. I have both the 6" and the 10". They love both, but the smaller balls are easier to handle & run with. I highly recommend Jolly Balls to anyone with an active dog, large or small. The balls were a terrific & extremely satisfying find for me & my Labs.

I have pruchases the rose jolly ball for my dogs and they loved it. It holds up unbelievably well with my dogs and their play. My little dog ( 15 pounds) couldnt quite lift the 10 inch ball so I bought her this 4 1/2 inch.

with in 15 minutes she had clean chewed the handle off! Very disappointed. Jolly ball has amazing products but their " dog" version leaves a lot to be desired.
