So far, so good. I have a 3mo shep that so far has a blast with this thing. I saw one reviewer that said it tore apart, and will update as time goes by. So far I love them....well, she loves them. Easy for her to pick up, when the ball is much larger than her mouth (holes in ball) the football shaped one bounces in odd directions, but highly recommend the blue one, as dogs see blue well (color blind).

Our dog is a power chewer. She's medium sized with big dog chewpower!

She loves this ball we have the blue one. It is perfect for making her really work to get to her Stella and Chewy's freeze dried steaks. We break them in half, stretch open one of the openings and put the treats inside. She has a ball rolling, chasing and bouncing this thing around. Keeps her interested and active for about 15 minutes as she figures a way to get to the treats inside. She loves a good puzzle!

While she does stand on this collapsible ball, and chews on it, she has not damaged itand that's a relief, since she IS a power chewer.

I bought one of these last year at a pet store and it was amazingly sturdy. It survived hundreds of hours of intense chewing by my terrier. Finally he destroyed it, and we immediately bought this replacement on Amazon. But *it wasn't the same thing*. It was the same shape and color and brand name, but much much flimsier. Just looking at it, we could see how the rubber was thinner and stretchier. And indeed, our terrier tore it apart easily, within 10 minutes.

Investigating further, I went to a pet store and saw on the rack both the hardy and the flimsy kind of ball, with exactly the same price and SKU. My guess is that the company has just recently switched to a cheaper manufacturer that makes the flimsy balls, and I was seeing the last of the old hardy balls.

Here's a trick: With the hardy kind, one of the hexagons is not a hole but filled-in, with "jw" written on it. With the flimsy kind, all the hexagons are cut out the same.

Anyway, if you see that the reviews seem to be "love-it-or-hate-it", this is why: Some customers got a totally different product than others did. Mine was the flimsy kind. The customer reviews lead me to believe that everybody is getting the flimsy kind these days.

Hudson (15m corgi) loves his Hol-ee Rollers. He has several in all different sizes and colors. They are easy for him to catch and carry around. He even tosses it to himself. They are light and easy to throw and won't hurt his teeth or mouth. Five paws!

My 55 lb Aussie puppy loves this toy. We graduated to the 8" after the other just became too small. She now quite happily runs and jumps and carries and chases the ball all day long, all by herself; leaving me plenty of time to do things like write this review. Great for heavy chewers, fun to play fetch with (it flies through the air with little effort) and a wonderful toy for dogs who like to carry things around because they need to have a job. So strong and versatile that our dog park has a community one for use while you're there. One of my (and my dog's) favorites.

Our Rat Terrier adores his squirrel. Whenever he gets hyper about going outside to chase the real squirrels he sees out the window, we just ask him where's Rambo's squirrel? He runs to get it and squeeks away. The 2 squeekers make it really good.

My dog love the Skinneez brand toys and even though she's a chewer, she likes them enough not to destroy them. That's the good news.

The reason I only gave this particular product 3 stars is that this is not the regular sized toy. Yes, I should have realized this from the title, but I didn't because the cost was the same. I can get the mini toys at my local grocery store for less.

I was disappointed that this was not a good price for the smaller product.

It's not as big as I thought it was, but it's big enough for my dogs. They have really short legs :) It's very light weight, I like the plastic tray bottom as opposed to the heavy metal one in my last crate. The latches are a little crooked and a little difficult to open and close.....the door is a little out of line, so the handles don't match up exactly, but it does the job.

I just purchased 2 of these for my young cats so I would have something to take them to the vet in. They were delivered today and I can't believe the quality of this product. It is sturdy, well-designed and comes with step by step instructions protected in a plastic sleeve. The cats took to them right away. The designers thought of everything including a safety clip to ensure that the front flap stays zipped and Velcro patches so you can roll up the flap and keep it open so they can play in it. Our cats are 12 lbs and 13 lbs respectively, and they are just the right size for them.

We were skeptical of putting a teething yellow lab pup in a fabric crate, but when we saw this in a local store, we were impressed! Very sturdy and tight! Extemely well made.

We bought the E36, even though it was a little small for a full size labrador retriever, and we're glad we did. It's perfect for him now; he's 9 weeks old and he took to it like a den. He walks right in when he's tired. A few minor corrections about not mouthing it, along with a few great toys and rawhide chews, and he's been absolutely fine. He loves it.

It's surprisingly nice to be able to open the top as well. We can pick him right up and carry him outside after a nap.

I would recommend using a little softened bar soap on the zippers, because they're very tight. And of course, I can't recommend leaving a teething pup in it for long hours. Nor would you put an aggresive or vicious animal in this crate.

We keep it right in our bedroom and the zipper jingles when he scratches the door. We get up and lift him out and bring him to the door. Fabulous!

By the time he outgrows this crate, he probably won't need it, but I may have to buy him the larger one anyway just because he loves it!

I had looked everywhere to find this crate in the older style model which the company changed about a year ago. The description when I ordered it said it had the stake tie down straps which is specifically what I wanted to secure crates on a rack in my van for travel to shows and the pictures showed the larger mesh window areas of the older model which provide better ventilation. What I got was the newer model which doesn't have tie down straps and has smaller mesh windows. The picture still shows the larger mesh window area and stake tie down straps, which is not what the newer model has. The description has now been changed to reflect the newer mode, but picture has not been changed. Amazon should make sure their pictures and description reflect exactly what they are selling!

This brand crate is well made and holds up well as I have three of the older model this size and two of a larger size model. I do not like the changes the company made to the newer version though being smaller mesh windows on sides and no tie down straps.

Honest reviews on Firstrax Port-A-Crate E2 Indoor/Outdoor Pet Home

I recently adopted a 5 month old female German Shepherd / Doberman puppy and needed a crate to carry in the car or keep at the office, etc... I've got one of the Midwest metal crates (42") that works great but it's tremendously heavy to move around frequently!

Insert the Firstrax Port-A-Crate (36"). I'd been considering the Noz2Noz crates but was afraid that she would tear the crate apart after seeing some of the pictures people had posted online. This crate was about half the cost of the N2N crate (I got this crate for $50 direct from Amazon) and seemed to fit the bill perfectly for a worthwhile "test" crate.

Pros:

-Light weight (couple lbs max)

-Great build / fabric quality

-Easy to put up / break down

-Sturdy buckles to keep folded / closed

-Excellent ventilation without being too open like a metal crate

-Top zips open for easy access for stubborn dogs / water bowls / etc...

-Definitely gives the dog that "den" feeling

Cons:

-Soft crate is easily destroyed by a determined / untrained dog

-No removable layer on the bottom makes it difficult to clean if there are any "accidents"

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't experience any funky smells when I opened it up.

Combine the light weight with the cost and build quality and this crate is a definite winner! My roommate bought one for his dog; it's a LOT more convenient than breaking down the metal crate for portability.

I gave it the 4 star rating primarily because of the difficulty in cleaning it. It there was a removable layer in the bottom (I suppose a crate mat would help) that would make it 5 stars.

PS: The folded down crate makes a great impromptu barrier for dogs that want to go upstairs when they're not supposed to! :-)

I bought this originally as a fat cat carrier, without realizing the bottom was soft (duh). But it got put to good use, we got an 8wk old yellow lab puppy that we didn't want to leave downstairs in the crate overnight(by himself). So we put this soft crate next to our bed for him to sleep. He loves it! We just put a towel in the bottom and a stuffed animal and he lies right down and goes to sleep. He never even whined! He does try to dig and chew a bit when he wakes up, but so far he has not been able to damage it. I think its just cozy enough that he is comfortable and the top opening is perfect for me to get him in and out. I'll be looking to get a larger size one when he outgrows this one! Highly recommend!

I purchased two of these houses for my dogs. They were very easy to assemble and are very study once put together. My dogs weigh 110 lbs and 80 lbs and both fit easily inside their house. I was afraid that they might chew on them because they were made of wood but I learned from my vet that this type of wood serves two purposes, it deters them from chewing because it taste horrible to them and cedar is a natural repelent for fleas. The roof is great and keeps the weather out nicely, the floor is raised off the ground and the legs have protective, platic feet to keep the moisture out. It is still wood though so I would suggest using a water repelent on the outside just for added protection. They are two years old now and still look as good as the day I bought them!

DO NOT BELIEVE THIS LINE:

"Precision Pet Outback Log Cabin provides shelter during the winter and shade during the summer in a charming design that looks great in any backyard. Solid wood construction."

There is NO WAY this could provide shelter on a winter day, this couldn't protect from a gust of wind on a late spring day, let along a cold gust in winter. Summer? maybe.

The feet are wood, untreated, and I expect them to be rotted off by this time next year.

This dog house was BARELY large enough for my SMALL FRAMED 75 pound lab.

The reviewer who said his two extra large dogs fit in in, well, maybe they fit if their limbs were detachable. My dog couldn't stretch out all the way, it is NOT that large.

VERY poor quality wood, felt more like balsam wood than fir.

The wood roof just soaks up rain because it is untreated, leaving the underside (inside the house) moist and damp.

NO, I did NOT like this dog house. I would have given it only ONE star but my dog doesn't live in his doghouse! He is a housepet, but I wanted something to protect him in case I was running late on an errand or something and the weather turned bad. I wanted to make sure he had reliable shelter until I got home, for piece of mind. But this dog house did not fit the bill.

I moved this out of the dog run (by myself, because it is light and cheap)

and Installed a LARGE real cedar dog house with insulation. With help, because good quality wood is obviously heavier than this contraption.

I also believe the reviewer who said their floor broke. My dog weighs 75 pounds, and that is about the limit this floor could have taken.

This dog house will NOT protect your dog from the elements, there is NO door cover, not even a slight lip to prevent rain or wind from going in, and the roof and sides are stained but NOT WATERPROOF. You will have to use a waterproofer if you want this dog house to withstand one season, let alone FOUR.

Also, it really bugged me, the picture and description state LOG EXTERIOR. There are NO LOGS, just cheap planks. They look exactly like panel planks you can buy at lowes. I counted all the planks, the wood on this if you got it from Lowes would have been about $20.

I did recieve this very fast and it was packaged well. And it LOOKS nice. But really it isn't good quality at all. Buyer beware.

I was drawn to this dog house by its look, the fact that the floor was raised off the ground and it was simply big enough for my 110 lbs rottweiler. Shortly after it arrived and was assembled, the floor BROKE! The walls now wobble without the added support from the floor. I am very VERY disappointed. I would have thought they would engineer it to support the weight of a dog that requires this size of house. Don't throw your money away.

With winter approaching, I bought this house to give my dogs a place to get out of the elements. While it is missing insulation, the construction is very high quality...and will provide shelter from wind and moisture. I am very pleased with the overall construction, the attractive design, and the ease of assembly. The house looks even better than the photo. It went together extremely quickly took no more than 10 minutes. The instructions were very straight-forward and easy to understand. The unit was packaged very well from the factory...with the hardware pieces arranged and laid out in a way very easy to identify/understand. Assembly litterally consisted of 8 bolts and 12 small screws. All you need is a screwdriver and a pair of pliers! I will very likely purchase a second one because of my overall happiness with this doghouse.

With the shipping costs I paid $85.41 for this 36 inch high pen: well worth the money. I set it up in my house to put my 10# dog in when I go somewhere. Before I found this I had spent $200 on doggie gates, which I then put together to make a 4 ft x 4 ft pen. Only it didn't work because he spent all his time chewing the wood, which really concerned me about his safety (this even though I would heavily spray it with Bitter Apple).

So, I put this up into a 4 ft x 4 ft square pen. To make sure he couldn't squeeze his little feet between the connectors I also secured the 2 ft sections with plastic tie-wraps, and then used duck tape to secure those to the pen, so he wouldn't poke himself in the eye with them, or chew them.

To make the pen more secure against movement I put two dog crates in one corner (on top of each other) and tied them to the pen (it takes two crates to stop him using one crate to climb up and jump out of the pen). I jammed one 4 ft length up against a wall, and placed a long table against the opposite 4 ft length. The reason I did this is because the fence is a little flimsy, and I could just see him moving it around or even toppling it (or it folding together), and since I can't use pegs to nail it down I secured it this way.

The top gate latch works great, but the bottom latch is too loose and easily comes undone, so when I leave him alone I will use a small padlock on that bottom latch to make sure he doesn't get it open (and raise havoc while I'm gone.. cause he definately would... he's a 10 lb dynamo).

I use this to crate my great dane and save hundreds not buying a crate. With my biggest dane I have to anchor this to the wall to keep him from knocking it over (but he is 200lbs of puppy) but worth it no having to invest 250+ in a crate he'll be squished in. My other danes don't bother knocking it over. Great size, great quality!

Honest reviews on Everlasting Exercise Dog Pen with Door in Black

I volunteer with a pet rescue, and we have a variety of this type of pen for use in creating temporary barriers, pens, and dividers. The fold-flat design has a nice clip built in to keep the pen together when folded, and it came with a few "dog leash" type clips to easily snap the ends together when you want to use it as a pen (we use Zip ties to attach it to something when we use it as a divider).

The only complaint is the door. On the 24" models the door is open at the top which makes it easy to open the door for a human to step through. On the 36" pen the door is set in the middle of one of the panels fine for letting a dog in & out, but humans must still step over a 36" divider. I of course knew this when ordering, it's clear in the pictures and this is still a good product at a good price but I'd love to see that design change.

The other thing that would be handy about the door is to put it in the middle of the fence, not on one of the end panels. When you're using it as a round pen it doesn't matter, but when you're using it as a divider it would usually be more convenient to have the door somewhere in the middle.

All in all a good product at a good price, we'll be buying more I'm sure.

The best dog balls we've ever bought. My labs love these balls; in fact I can honestly say they are obsessed with them. These balls are rubber, very bouncy, they float and my dogs haven't been able to chew these up like regular tennis balls. And these balls are not furry so the dirt and grass doesn't stick like it does on regular tennis balls. I hate picking up a tennis ball that is all furry and matted with dirt. I think our dogs feel the same way because whenever it's time to play they bring us these and they ignore the tennis balls!

With the launcher we can throw the ball across an acre and give our dogs a really good workout. The balls bounce high when thrown that far. The dogs love it and it's great for getting their energy out. Also great for the lake because the balls float, stay buoyant and are easy for the dogs to grab in the water.

Cost more than tennis balls but they last longer, and my dogs are worth it. 5 stars.

-----------

4-29-13: Our 3 large labs are still gaga over chuck-it balls!

After 6 years and countless hours of fetch, no problems with ball safety.

My working line GSD is ball obsessed...and he gives them a rough workout! I previously used Orbee balls, but the hole in the center would fill up with water when he dropped it in his water bowl for a drink and then would spill all over our floors. These don't do this.

Also, they're bright orange which makes locating them easier, especially in the dark. They're still chewy, so he loves them. They are TOUGH. They float and bounce high...they're not very heavy.

These also fit in the ChuckIt thrower...

****Tennis balls are DANGEROUS to your dogs....they break apart and can cause impactions, AND the glue will eat away at the enamel on your dogs teeth. Buy these balls instead, you won't be sorry.

By far one of the best balls out there. They bounce higher than most, are easy to find in the the grass and have proven highly indestructable so far with my super power chewers, a Lab mix puppy and adult German Shepherd who love to devour tennis balls. Best of all no green fuzz all over the house!

These balls have been a big hit with my German Shepherd Dog since the moment they arrived today. My dog hasn't popped one open yet, but she's determined to try! I had to start buying these balls because she was destroying tennis balls, eating them and then vomiting them back up later.

The Chuckit balls have a nice bounce to it. They are hallow in the center so there's leeway when the dog chews on these.

To watch my dog's rewiew, watch the video. Her obsession with this ball says it all. By the time I took this video she'd been powerchewing on this ball for four hours.

Update 3 May 12: The balls are still intact. Amazing! No tennis ball lasted this long.

I purchased 2 packs of these balls recently for my Chocolate Lab. He loved them, became his favorite toy to play fetch with immediately. But, be VERY CAREFUL... we've had them about a week, and last night, playing fetch outside, my dog almost choked to death when he caught this ball out of the air, and it went right down into his throat. My labrador is average-sized for his breed (about 75 lbs). After rushing to the vet in a panic, and paying a $163 vet bill, I will be getting rid of these immediately, and trying out the larger size "Chuckit! Ultra Ball Large 3-inch, 1 pack" instead... Thankfully, he's OK! Just wanted to warn anyone considering these for a mid to large size dog!

I've had this for about a year now and has been holding up really well. We've been keeping it outdoors in our patio area by our sliding door. My dog is a 13lb Chihuahua/Pom mix. It's a little too roomy for her but overall it's still a good fit for her. There's a doggie pillow we threw inside to make it extra comfortable. She likes to jump on the top so we placed a little doggie blanket so she can relax up there too. The bottom raised part has not been an issue. It's high enough to where rainwater does not reach it. This was the only house I could find that ensures some shade inside the house at certain hours of the day. I'm glad I purchased it for my happy dog!

First of all this small size doghouse is only big enough for the small breeds of dogs. I bought it to use as a house for my outdoor cat and it fits one cat that weighs about 15 pounds, nicely. It has a nice front porch for additional weather protection, which is why I bought it. It looks like a miniature log cabin. The walls and roof are high quality and very nice. NOW FOR THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.... The floor is useless. It's made of nice wood, however the way it goes together is stupid. The floor is in 2 pieces that dovetail together, however there is no center support do if any weight is put on the center of the floor, it caved in. We easily remidied this with 2 street bricks laid flat underneath. Problem solved. I wouldn't pass up this really nice house just because of the floor issue, but be prepared to place 2 street bricks under for a brace or the poor dog will fall through. Other than that adjustment, I love it!
