Best Zack & Zoey Polyester Stowaway Dog Rain Jacket Deals

Unfortunately, this jacket is turning out to not be very functional.

First, I had to purchase a size larger than suggested in order for the length to be correct, (a size L so the length would fit my 25 lb, average size dog). So I got the correct length, but then the belly is too large, so I have to double over the velcro closure. And, disappointingly the hood is extremely smallI don't know if the hood could fit any average size dog, so your dog's head won't be protected from the rain. Also does not provide very good coverage underneath, only covers the very top of her back, not nearly as good as coverage as shown in photo (I think the dog in photo must be wearing a few sizes larger than suggested).

One positive aspect though, very easy to take on and off, and secure velcro closure.

If you're wanting a functional rain jacket, I wouldn't recommend this one.

I bought this in a size small at a local pet store last year. It was the 2nd or 3rd dog raincoat I'd purchased, and the first that fit well, and was both lightweight and water-resistant. I appreciate the zipper pouch, which allows me to zip it up and stow it in my purse. My dog tolerates it well, unlike heavy, vinyl-coated raincoats, which weigh her down and slide sideways because of the weight. I did have the benefit of finding the coat at a local store. I think it is extremely difficult to size dog apparel accurately online.

Honest reviews on Zack & Zoey Polyester Stowaway Dog Rain Jacket

I purchased this item for my 7lb maltipoo. It is a pain to get on. I have to thread the leash through the tiny whole first because his harness has double d-rings and the velcro gets stuck to the inside mesh-like material while I'm doing that. My dog is absolutely hates the hood, he shakes it off as soon as I finally get it over his head. The hood covers his eyes if i get it on good enough for him not to shake it off. I purchased this jacket because my dog doesn't mind the rain so he's in no rush to "go potty" when it is raining. I needed something to keep him dry so his fur wouldn't knot up. It does however, keep about 12 in of his back dry, but not his head, tail, or legs, defeating the purpose I purchased it for. It looks good and the bag is convenient, but my dog hates it.

I love this raincoat! It's bright color so it's great to keep my dog visible in the rain, at least during day time. It keeps my dog dry and it's easy to put on her because of the velcro. Materials is light weight and she looks really cute in it.

This works well if you can get it together. You would think that it would come with pre-drilled holes in all the pieces, but the 2 big pieces do not have any. This made putting it together a little more difficult. Once it is together, it works well in keeping our little havanese puppy contained.

It does the job of keeping the dogs out of the living room or the bedroom. I like that it can be made longer to fit our big doorway. I only gave it 3 stars bc the ends become lose over time with normal use n it can't become tighten again, for the price I wish the ends wouldn't move.

The product didn't go together easily, the instructions were poor, and the quality of the gate were subpar. In addition, there was damage to the box in transit, which also made gouges on the gate.

On a very positive note, however, when I contacted the seller, the response was quick, and a refund was issued. I have to say, that I was surprised at that, having dealt with a computer company where I had to fight with them tooth and nail to get a response, and then continue to fight with them for a solution. BestChoiceProducts has earned my loyalty, and I will most definitely consider them in the future for other purchases!

Warmly,

I took one star off because we had to put in a better "screw" to hold the gate together...I believe the other one was a bit too short.

Also made another hole to adjust to the size we needed, but other than that, it serves the purpose & looks nice :)

I bought this for my 15 pound (a little chubby) Cairn terrier. The size (small) is perfect and she loves it. She can now see what is going on and put her nose into the wind. I use it in my 2500 HD GMC Sierra and the height is perfect. It goes in an out as needed in probably 10 seconds and is well secured by the seat belt. I am going to modify it slightly and would offer my suggestion to the manufacturers as an improvement. The sides above the cushion are not stiff enough in my opinion and when Abby uses them to sit up and look out they tend to flop over. I am going to attach 2 inch strips of velcro strap on each side to connect the sides to the back. They can be unhooked to install the seat belt and then attached to give the sides additional rigidity. This small change I think will make the seat perfect.

The small drawer at the bottom of the seat is very handy to store a leash, toys and cookies. I bought the chocolate color ultra suede to match the interior of a new Avalon Hybrid we have on order. I am confident my friend will find it just as enjoyable in the car as in the truck. This is a very nice, high quality product.

Discount Tuff Balls Peanut Butter Flavored Dog Toys (2 Pack)

Petsport Peanut Butter Balls 2 Pack
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Had I bought them for any other reason than to reach the $25 supersaver shipping requirement, I'd be pissed. As it is, oh well. My dog destroys tennis balls in minutes -rips them along the seams. These were no different. In the time that it took me to go in the house to get the sunblock, the ball was torn. As for the smell, there was nothing whatsoever reminiscient of peanut butter. There was a very strong chemical smell, VERY strong, but not even a hint of peanut-y goodness. I didn't go so far as to chew on it, so I can't say that it didn't taste of peanut butter...but it seems highly unlikely. I agree with another reviewer that the Penn tennis balls seem to last a bit longer, and I can often find these at the dollar store, in packs of three.

Sorry on this one. I ordered the wrong size, but it worked out well because we donated them to the local dog shelter and they loved having something for the larger dogs to play with when they were outside.

Honest reviews on Tuff Balls Peanut Butter Flavored Dog Toys (2 Pack)

I bought some pet tennis balls at my local supermarket. They had a terrible, toxic smelling, rubber odor. I watched my lab mix destroy two in about 5 minutes. No way I would let him chew them unsupervised. When they split open, that odor filled a room. The Tuff balls on the other hand, have been the complete opposite. They last forever. I have not had one even split yet. I've used the peanut butter and mint ones. No, not a strong scent, but fine overall. I don't think he really cares he loves his tennis balls no matter what. Definitely a fan.

My little mix of a Japanese Chin and a Shih Tzu absolutely loves these things. She's a small dog, so the smaller junior size ball fits her mouth perfectly, and she prefers these to the normal non flavored balls or the mint balls because of the peanut butter flavor. In fact, I think she's absolutely addicted to them and constantly wants to play fetch with them. I ordered these off of Amazon, as I can't seem to find them in PetCo stores locally anymore. This is a bit expensive, but well worth it if you have a smaller dog that loves to play fetch!

I have two dogs with sensitive stomachs and allergies, so normal raw hide bones cause them to get sick. Other non-raw hide, natural bones my dogs can devour within minutes, they are heavy chewers. These are great because they don't make my pups sick and it takes them 30 min or more to eat the larger bones. Also the price is wonderful, at petsmart they charge $15-$24 for the larger varietys. Definetly will order these again, and again!

My dogs get these every year for Christmas and their birthdays. When we bought the first one for our first dog, he went crazy for it. He usually just eats treats without a big deal but with the N-Bone, he wouldn't let it out of his sight. He even wanted to take it outside when he went potty!

I have two standard poodles....one of which can mow down any bone in about 20 minutes flat. What's nice about this bone is that....not only does she NOT mow it down in 20 minutes...but it must taste so good to her that she'll come back and pick it up again later and work on it some more. Both of our poodles will do that with these. They don't do that with any other chew/bone product. They either lose interest or chew it a while and never touch it again.

My dog obviously loved her new bone but it lasted less than 5 min. I give her a bone when I leave to keep her occupied since she has separation anxiety. She finished this bone before I had a chance to get out the door. In my opinion this bone costs too much to last such a little amount of time

My 8 month old pit mix pup chews everything, including the landscaping, seat belts, and our English mastiff. This product apparently has a wonderful flavor; he worked on it non-stop. At 48 pounds he's a decent chewer, but certainly not the jaws of death, yet he managed to chomp off 1" sized chunks within 20 minutes. I had to throw the bone away a half hour after opening it. I didn't want to chance the good flavor tempting him to swallow the pieces.

That said, flavored Nylabone products are generally big hits here, so I quickly ordered two chicken flavored Soupers. They don't offer the same satisfaction as being able to knaw off a piece and therefore are not chewed on as often, but they last years and have been a safe option in our house of many dogs.

I'd recommend the Flexible Bones for little, really young pups and weak chewers.

Our shelter dog did not play with any of the toys we bought her the first month she was with us. This Nylabone was just sitting on the floor for a month. Then all of a sudden, one day she decided to start chewing on it. Now it's a regular habit and she just loves chewing on her Nylabone. It sheds in a weird way and comes off in tiny little pieces. I like that it's not big pieces that she could swallow and hurt herself with. Her tail wags the whole time she is chewing on it. I will have to replace it soon (it's been a month) since she has almost worn down the nubs.

Honest reviews on Gumabone Chicken Bone Dog Chew Toy

I consider my dog a moderate chewer and at about 25 lbs he's not the sturdiest dog around. I gave him this flexi chew bone and within about 3 to 4 minutes he was biting off decent sized chunks and trying to eat them (some successfully). I had to remove the bone after I noticed this and don't plan to give it back to him at any point. I'd say this product is for LIGHT chewers, if any at all. Very disappointed.

I have tried Four Paws Wee-Wee pads, Dynarex Under pads(worst),Simply Right Super Absorbent under pads(very good-still use) and Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads(still use)and find Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra is the best by far for doggie wee pads! I have (2) 4-lb puppies that share the same pads and I am impressed on how absorbent Natures Miracle Advanced turned out to be. They claim to hold 6 cups of liquid and I believe it, this is the only pad with Polymer in it, Polymer helps absorption and keeps the spread of the liquid to a minimum getting more use out of the pad, this pad is also fantastic at keeping odor absorbed. The funny thing is I bought this brand on accident, 50pads for $39 bucks at Petsmart which I find is the only place I can get these pads in-store in my area. The pad size is larger than the other pads 27x23, the others are 23x24 and Natures are truly the closest pad to the usable size stated on the package, the other pads can be up to 4inches smaller in usable area size(so your 23x24 pad is actually 19x21 inches)because the blue border is non-absorbent and not usable(Dynarex brand)!! I just bought Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra on sale at Petsmart, 100pads for $39 which is a great price but I only use these in my crate due to that high price. For daily use, I go with Simply Right Super Absorbent 23x36 under pads from Sam's club which is also very very good and not bad at keeping odor at bay with a very very cheap price tag, 120pads for $24 plus they are sold in-store, no need to order online. I put these 23x36 pads on top of crate replacement trays $14 bucks on sale at Petco free shipping at the time to help keep the urine for spilling when they use the edge of the pads. Even the Natures Miracle doesn't stop the half on half off the pad and you have to agree you can't catch them every time. I would def recommend these pads I am very happy with them, just wish the price would come down.

My dog is little but can pee a lot! I find that natures miracle products work really well.

I am a postal carrier and purchased the dazer as a first line of defense against dogs. I easily see over 100 dogs a day and when a dog barks at me, I hit the dazer.

I have nearly worn out the battery testing this little device. I cover many routes and have tested this device over 1000 times (easily). It has worked tail-tucking-excellent on only 4 dogs. It will stop about 50% of all dogs from barking for a few seconds. And about 30% of dogs from barking as long as I hold the button.

For a postal carrier this is great because it quiets down my day, but I'd only use this as a primary defense if I had a can of mace as back up--which I do.

I also agree that it works much better on mid-size dogs. Nearly no effect on small dogs--the ones that yipe and bother me the most--darn.

I normally don't make time for reviews but this item is so wonderful I want to post flyers for it throughout my neighborhood as the barking dog problem is rampant. The short version...The pros: It will quiet a barking dog with sensitive ears,it really does shut them up! The cons: It doesn't work through walls! You have to be near the dog (w/in 50ft) for it to have an effect. Get this item if you have a barking dog problem and an inconsiderate neighbor who refuses to do anything about it.

The story: Everytime anyone used to go outside of my newly purchased house, the neighbor's dog would bark incessantly. Not to mention the fact than anytime anything happened w/in earshot the dog would be barking. I asked the neighbor if she could do something about this and she replied, "He's a Lab, they just bark". Unacceptable and not true, only untrained ones do. I tried dog treats, I tried coaxing then I resorted to the hose, and all it did was raise my waterbill and make a large stripe in my lawn very green. So we built a large privacy fence (at our expense) and the barking did not stop. This "Dazer" was my last hope. So the day came to try it out (read: "the moment it arrived in the mail" comes WITH batteries!)It works exceptionally well!!!! I can't tell you how empowering this thing is. I feel like John Wayne. To finally have something to stop the barking. It's so peaceful when my family, friends and I go outside. If the dog starts, I walk over, aim it in the dog's direction push and hold the button and say "Quiet", the animal stops and runs in the house so quickly, you'd think I'd maced it. So I am covertly training my neighbor's dog for her! I was skeptical but relieved to have a tool to bring respite to this barking phenomenon that appears to be taking over the peaceful homes of America due to socially irresponsible dog owners (don't get me started). PS: I love animals. I have 2 well trained dogs myself, that have never needed a Dazer as I took them AND myself to dog training courses. (I'd never heard of it before until I Googled "how to stop your neighbor's dog from barking") Get this, if you value peace and quiet.

Best Deals for Dog Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent

Add me to the growing list here of people who swear by this product and are amazed at its effectiveness. It really does work, so much so that I felt compelled to tell others.

Like other reviewers, I bought the Dazer in desperation after all other methods had failed to stop my neighbors' two Schnauzers from barking at me and my children every time we tried to use our own back yard. When I first used the Dazer on them, the dogs actually stopped mid-bark and looked at me as if I had just called them Chihuahuas. When they started to bark again, I Dazed them a second time and again, they stopped instantly. I then gave the now-silent and clearly befuddled mutts one final shot of ultrasonic goodness for good measure (heh heh), at which they turned and scurried off into their house not in pain, but clearly annoyed at whatever sound the Dazer puts out (humans cannot hear it, nor can my two elderly dogs).

The mongrels and I repeated this scenario for two more days after this, and that did the trick. Now when anybody in my family goes into the back, they either run off or ignore us completely. Oh, they still bark sometimes, but not at us. Like John Wayne (as one reviewer put it so well), I keep the Dazer clipped to my waistband just in case I need to remind them what it sounds like. I might even have done so once or twice, but that cannot be confirmed.

I don't know if the thing works on all dogs, or if it stops a charging dog, and I hope never to find out. I wouldn't rely on the Dazer or any other device to protect my children from an attacking dog, anyway, as Mr. Schinzer below might. But I know this: the Dazer has made my back yard a fun and QUIET place for me and my family to enjoy once again.

Now, if it only worked on loud people...

Honest reviews on Dog Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent

I have three large dogs next door that bark and howl all the time! There are two rots and one chow/husky mix and they are constantly waking up my 15 month old. I decided to get the Dazer 2 because of the reviews and the price and I am SO GLAD I DID! I stand out my back door and point it at the fence where the dog is (about 25 feet away through a 6 foot wood fence) and press the button for about 2 seconds and at first they just stopped barking for a minute, than barked again so I set it off again and they ran inside. Now whenever they bark, I set it off and they tuck tail and run in the house. Now they rarely bark! 1 month later: If they do bark all I have to do is open the sliding back door and they run in the house. I would defiantly call it a SUCCESS! I could KISS the inventor!

I am very pleased with the Dazer!!

The next-door neighbors own 2 dogs that they by the way they don't care about hence they leave them out in the backyard all the time... for them to bark and torture me very effectively.

The `fence' between the 2 houses is a 6-feet wall. When someone comes out to the backyard the dogs immediately run towards the common fence and bark as loud as possible; though they are small/medium-sized, their barks are quite loud and bothersome.

I used the Dazer today for the first time... I heard them barking and went out into my backyard and went close to the backyard where they ran to immediately, barking and barking non-stop.

I `dazed' them once and they immediately ran away from the fence and one of the dogs quit barkingthe small one. The larger dog -though also ran away, kept barking.

But I decided to invest 5 minutes to train them and stayed there so every time I heard barks -mostly the large dog because the small one wouldn't bark again, I hit the button on the dazer and though the dog became more irritated, it was clear that something was bothering him but he ended up quitting the barking...I know I probably will have to invest a few more days/weeks to fully train them, but it was very effective.

It is wonderful, it works!!!! I couldn't hear a thing but clearly it was very effective on the dogs... I am very happy with the product, it works!!!!

Best Yet Quart Spray Bottle (by CedarSide) Review

Best Yet Quart Spray Bottle
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

Before I mention about the spray, I had to mention the condition of the place where this spray was used. The place was infected by bed bug very extensively. I cannot even sleep through a night without getting bitten by min 5 bed bugs. I tried all possible sprays that I bought from near by stores and nothing worked to contain the bed bugs. I searched over the internet to find a suitable bed bug spray and finally I had narrowed down to two bed bug spray, this one and Bug patrol. I went with this, as it said that its not harmful to the skin and never leaves a stain (and so far I never noticed a stain on the carpet/wall or any problem with my skin).

I bought this last week and had it sprayed all over the apartment floor corners and edges. At first I had hard time in coping with the smell because of the cedar oil and also the silica content produced a very strong odor, although its not unbearable but some may find little discomfort (or may be I sprayed too much).I had difficulty in getting through the first day when I sprayed but I had to say its worth the effort. As of now I never had any bite or didn't even find a trace of a bed bug. I can sleep very peacefully without getting bitten by those little vampires. I'm not sure whether it provides a long time protection but some website says so.

Con: The con is not about the spray, but its about the spray bottle that came with it. Its appears to be little flimsy and the spray trigger broke immediately when I started using it. So, take care when using it. I used it by transferring the liquid content to another empty spray bottle which I bought it for less that 1.5 dollars.

I had never even heard of bed bugs until I moved to a new apartment infested with them. For weeks I had no idea what was biting me all over until I finally discovered those evil suckers. Immediately I researched how to kill them, and was completely overwhelmed by how impossible it seemed!! I couldn't afford a professional, or an expensive steamer to kill them, so my choices were sprays or powders. I chose Best Yet after reading the reviews. I started by cleaning all my bedding, encasing my mattress in a bedbug resistant cover, sweeping and washing my floors and cleaning/organizing my entire space. Then I sprayed the Best Yet all over my entire bed frame and mattress and all around the perimeter of my room. The bottle says residue free but if it is sprayed on fabrics, it stains. You can also see a slick shiny residue on wooden floors for quite a few hours until it dries. The smell is strong, but not unpleasant; it just smells strongly of cedar. I sprayed the same areas down every night before I went to sleep for 3 weeks straight. After a few days, every bug I found was either dead or dying and the number of bites I had was greatly reduced. After a week I was bite free and have remained so ever since. After 3 weeks, I cut down to spraying every other night, and only around my room. I'm sure the rest of my building is infested as well, so I will continue to spray every few days just to ensure my space stays bug free. I really like that this product is all natural and completely safe. Also, I like that it actually kills the bugs and their eggs rather than just detouring them to another part of the building. It IS possible to be completely bedbug free!!!! And the price of this product is very affordable! Good luck to everyone battling the bugs!!

UPDATE: I originally wrote this review in Oct. of 2011, and 7 months later (April 2012) I am still bedbug free! I spray about once a month now because I notice it kills and keeps away many types of bugs.

I'm surprised to see how many bad reviews are listed under this product. I just used this spray last night on my whippets (dogs) and literally watched the fleas crawl out of their fur and die. AMAZING. This past flea season was ruff! Frontline, Advantage and flea shampoos were not working. I fear the fleas have build immunity to the brands listed. At one point I triple dosed them with Advantage and it was ineffective.

This product was recommended to me by a dear friend who lives in heavily brushy area with abundant wildlife. I'm so impressed with the results.

A few notes... ***Read the instructions*** You need to reapply daily if your dealing with hot spot and infestations. This isn't a one time application, you need to keep reapplying. Be prepared for an intense blast of cedar aroma. It set off my fire alarms! Ha! So now I spray my dogs on my deck. I got a whole new batch of fleas off them this morning already and haven't seen them itch. So keep up and apply often to get control of the flea problem. I personally love the smell of cedar.

I read a review with regards to someones cat getting sick. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. There is a whole write up on how to treat your cat that best yet has printed for you. Don't drench them in cedarcide! Goes to show the majority of these bad reviews were listed by folks who failed to follow instruction.

I'm a Search & Rescue K9 Handler in Southern Oregon, where we have TERRIBLE tick problems almost all year long... There have been so many "sketchy" reports on Frontline/Frontline Plus and what it "might" be doing to our dogs and their immune system (etc.) over the long run, that I just didn't want to use it anymore.

Came across this natural product and it really does work GREAT!!! I use it on my dog after our training sessions, and I've watched ticks literally "BAIL" out of my dog's coat and die.

However...for best results you need to spray it on and work it into your dog's coat down to the skin.

Also, I can only speak of the product which I've purchased directly from the manufacturer. I just logged on here to see if I could get it any cheaper...and a number of people have mentioned that what they've purchased via Amazon has been DILUTED!

That's good enough for me... I'll spend a few more bucks and purchase directly from cedarcide.com in Texas! This stuff isn't cheap, but it's worth it. I'm sure not paying for diluted product!!!

The only reason this got 1 star is because I had to rate it....This hunk of junk lasted a whole week! For the price that I paid for it, this thing should not have fell apart and been ruined so easily.....Highly recommend not buying, especially for a dog that is active and moves around! The floor of this did not fit tight at all and moved around because the planks that have to be placed are too small.....save your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dogs house was exactly as advertised. Exactly as expected. Perfect fit for our dog. Superbly made. Very happy. Highly recommend.

We ordered the large sized house for our 60lb. lab. Everything seems fine with the house except that it is a little on the small side for that size dog. The research I did showed it was appropriate for up to 70lb. so I thought it would be ideal for my dog. Not really. She has to duck a little to get in the door and there really isn't a lot of room for her to get turned around in the house itself. It will be cozy in the winter to keep in the heat, but again, it's smaller than I thought it would be. I can't imagine it would work for a 70lb. dog at all! If you have a dog bigger than 50lbs, I would go with the extra large instead of the large size.

Honest reviews on TRIXIE Dog Club House, Large

We purchased this for our three friendly feral cats and they love it. Easy to assemble, cozy and warm with lots of room. I highly recommend this. I must say though that it may not be good for heavy weight dogs as the floor unit is not of heavy weight material.

It's not bad, nicely designed, easy to put together, comes with all the hardware you need, and has pre-drilled holes to make it simple. The materials seem decent, bolts, screws, hinges. The top is covered in some sort of gravel where some small bits may shake loose initially. The wood itself leaves a lot to be desired as it's quite thin and brittle. One of the side edges has slight damage from where the lid scraped against it. The sides need to be squared up a bit so the lid sits properly once closed. One of the plastic feet broke off when wood splintered apart where it was screwed in because I dragged it rather than picking it up. It easily screwed back in a different position where the wood wasn't split. It gets a star knocked off for the material, but honestly, I'm not sure I could do better for cheaper.

While it's supposed to be weatherproof out of the box, I added another coat of Rust-Oleum 207008 Marine Spar Varnish 1-Quart to every piece before I put it together since it will be exposed to rain. If you decide to do this, make sure you do it in a well ventilated area and give yourself extra time for it to dry and air out before letting your pets use it. I didn't get the TRIXIE Pet Products Plastic Door for Flat Roof Dog House, Large either but we'll see after the rainy season starts.

As a dog house, I'd be a little skeptical about using this for a 50lb+ dog. I think it best to heed the other reviews if you have a bigger dog or one that likes to destroy things.

As a litter box enclosure, it works great for this. It can fit a Nature's Miracle High Sided Litter Box and Litter Genie Plus Cat Litter Disposal System with Odor Free Pail System, Silver with room to spare. The hinges seem to be okay with frequent lifting, locks in place with a soft click (both hinges lock), and unlocks easily with a gentle tug. For those of you with big (or lots) of cats, the plastic mortar tub from Home Depot (similar to Maccourt At2606 26"x20"x6" Plastic Utility Tub) will fit inside but there wouldn't be room for much else.

These dog treats sounded so wonderful. Didn't know they were made in China! Wrote email to SmartBones and they assured me the product is safe. I will never trust animal products made in China. So many products for dogs are made there. My dog hasn't gotten sick from the bones. I suppose each consumer must make the choice for their own animals. I looked for the Smartbones on several sites and didn't see China on the ads. Seems like homemade might be better. There is nothing like made in the USA.

My dogs (1 5month old and 1 7year old) both got diarrhea and vomitting after eating these treats. They liked them a lot when we bought them, but within a week both dogs had upset stomachs. When the puppy was sick we assumed she had just gotten into something, but she had diarrhea for 3 days and then had blood in her stool. When we took her to the vet they could not attribute it to anything specific. When the older dog got sick a day after eating one of these we concluded it must be the bones. She has never been sick enough to warrant any medications before and we are putting her on medicine and prescription food to get over this. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Piper and Gabby received some Smart Bones for Christmas. Little Gabby had never had a chew this large and neither had ever had a Smart Bone, so we didn't know what to expect.

As soon as the Smart Bones came out of the package, two doggy noses started sniffing the air with gusto.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed their bones and were kept busy with them two evenings in a row. At first Gabby wasn't sure how to attack her bone but quickly got the hang of it.

Piper's dental surgeon advised us never to give our dogs chew bones that were not flexible. These bones are a little harder than I would like, but they are more flexible than some chew bones.

Honest reviews on SmartBones Peanut Butter Dog Chew, Large, 3-count

I bought these for my dogs on a whim at the pet store. When I gave them each one after I got home, they loved them. They chewed through about half a bone each the first night. The next morning I took them out and they both had the worst diarrhea I've ever seen a dog have! It was off-white (the color of the bone) which makes me question the validity of the claim that it is more digestible than rawhide. I'm definitely sticking to rawhide from here on out. These bones are horrible.

My lab has a pretty sensitive stomach, and can't handle rawhide well, so I decided to try these. First of all, it is quite brittle, and she finished it in less than a minute. When she bit into it, it broke into shards. Later that night, she starts vomiting heavily, which she hasn't done a single time since I first got her over a year ago. Should have paid more attention to where the product was made.
