Review of Zack & Zoey Polyester Fleece Lined Dog Hoodie, X-Small, Gray

Customer Ratings:

I ordered the correct size for my dog however the hoodie was too small. I should have ordered a size larger. Other than that the hoodie felt like it was made out of good material. Oh and Amazon charged me a shipping and handling fee for returning it even though it was not my fault that it didn't fit my dog.

I bought this hoodie for my Chihuahua who is about 7 lbs. I had to stretch it a bit to get it to be more comfortable in his chest/arm area. The length is very nice, however, since he's a boy he tends to pee in the hoodie if it gets unrolled. I'm going to have to do some cutting/stitching to get it just right. The bottom is more straight and not curved to be a truly unisex hoodie, so it would be perfect for female dogs without having to alter it. My dog's measurements are: Neck 9", chest 13", and length 10". The shirt is very soft and warm, and my little guy loves wearing it!

Cheap True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillet for Dogs, 12-Ounce

Customer Ratings:

When I had heard enough about dogs getting sick or dying after eating Chinese chicken jerky, I went looking for products made in the US and found this and have ordered several 1 lb bags. When fewer and fewer vendors were listed on amazon and the price quadrupled from my last purchase, I called the manufacturer to see if they had stopped making the product. The person said no, they had reformulated it so I waited for that to show up. Now it has so I went back to the manufacturer's web site to see what they changed.

I was appalled by what I found. From my bags of the old product here is a list of the ingredients. Chicken, natural smoke flavor. That's all.

Here's the reformulated product ingredient list: Chicken, betaine, brown sugar, cultured dextrose, sea salt, natural smoke flavor, garlic powder, mixed tocopherols (preservative), paprika extract color, rosemary extract.

I didn't know what betaine was so I looked it up on the net. After reading about it, I still don't know what it is.

The crude protein dropped from 77% to 50%.

crude fat increased from 2% to 5%.

moisture increased from 18% to 28%.

I am not going to give this product to my dog and will make my own chicken jerky in the oven.

___________________

Update:

I just went to a new Petco that opened near me. I found a 1 lb package of Colorado Naturals Chicken Jerky Dog Treats. Made in the US.

Ingredients: Chicken breasts, natural flavorings.

Crude protein 70%

Crude fat 3-7%

Moisture 10%

I will be buying these once I use up my old stock of True Chews.

____________________

Update 2 (8/17/13):

Since its been over a year since I last looked at True Chews, I decided to see if they've changed their product. Yes they have:

Premium Jerky Cuts

Ingredients: Chicken, Vegetable Glycerin, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Natural Smoke Flavor, Paprika Extract Color, Garlic Powder, Mixed Tocopherols (Preservative), Rosemary Extract.

Crude Protein: 40%

Crude Fat: 9%

Moisture: 28%

I've ordered Colorado Naturals bags several times from the Petco web site and am very pleased with how soft the product is and how they haven't changed the ingredients!

I have a finnicky Westie, and she LOVES these treats. I like that they are made in the USA. Very satisifed with the purchase.

Finally, a dog treat made in the U.S. that's made me and my Wheaten very, very happy. I just wish that this product was easier to purchase, as the popularity of U.S. made products for dogs has made these True Chews difficult to find, even on Amazon. Until about six months ago, True Chews, made by Tyson (yes, the same company that makes food for humans) were exceptionally hard and difficult to tear into pieces. The company obviously listened to consumers and changed the formula so that these treats are much easier to break and my dog seems to like these as much as the previous jerky. I'd like to give this product a 5+.

Honest reviews on True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillet for Dogs, 12-Ounce

I too have rec the new formula for the True Chews chicken jerky fillets. It's smells horrible and looks more like jerky than dried/compressed chicken fillets. I will not buy this product again. I guess I will have to start buying Smokehouse. Beware, Smokehouse products may show made in USA (front of pkg) made in China (on back of pkg). There are Smokehouse products that show USA on both front and back. If your looking for USA always check the pkg both front and back.

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!

This a good treat and my dog loved it, but Sergeant is a very strong chewer. He finished it in about 10 minutes and was asking for more.I'm looking for something tougher. I have trouble fining an edible non-rawhide chew toy that will last with my German Shepherd.

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!

Honest reviews on The Original N-Bone Chicken Large 6.5 Inch Single

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

I have a Papillon puppy and I got this bell set so I would know where he was in the house and in the yard. The bells give off plenty of sound and when it's too much the lobster claw allows me to take them off when I'm feeling over sensitive to the sounds. After much play the rubbing of the bells against each other the beautiful pantena is rubbing off so know you will need a new set for the color display.

Honest reviews on Lobster Claw Charm

I got this for my cat who loves to kill birds. The first bells I got only lasted for a few days when he lost his breakaway collar somehow. It was a Lupine collar with a "breakaway" plastic fastener, which obviously was too easily opened. I ordered another set of bells for him and a better stretchy collar, and so far no more dead birds on my doorstep. The lobster claw clasp is very easily attached to his collar, and it makes more noise than just one bell, which is what bell collars come with. I think the 3 bells on this product are much better for alerting birds, and my cat does not seem to be bothered by them at all.

She can get into stuff, so the bells help us to know where she is at all times. Love the bells.

Buy Evenflo Summit Easy Walk-Thru Gate

Customer Ratings:

I needed something for the bottom of the stairsbut because of railings and trim, I needed something that could differ a little bit in width(top and bottom). Because you can adjust all 4 mounts, it fit perfectly! My dogs can't get thru it, its taller than the wooden gates so they can't jump it, and you can leave the gate in an open position when its not needed. It takes a little getting used to as far as opening with one hand, but overall it's great. i plan on ordering more!

I am the owner of a 15 lb miniature pinscher with a major napoleon complex and a surprisingly high vertical leap. I adopted him 2 years ago with the intention of leaving him out in the house when I went to work, as I have been able to do with my dogs throughout my life. Unfortunately, he had severe separation anxiety and had to be crated when alone.

Initially unwilling to accept this, I decided to baby-gate him into the kitchen (for easy "accident" clean-up on the tile floor) and thus invested in 2 standard baby gates (the wooden frame, crisscrossing plastic mesh type) and much to my surprise he hopped it with no problem. I decided to try TWO baby gates in the doorway, one atop another. Although impractical, it seemed there was no way he'd be able to leap over the fortress wall. You can imagine my surprise when I came home one afternoon to find him scaling the mesh like spiderman, near the top of the second gate, calculating HOW he could get over the top and have pure freedom. Clearly this wasn't working.

On visits back and forth to my parent's house, we had to separate the dogs as their great dane thought my dog was "snacktime" ... and my dad invested in a gate very similar to the evenflo, for about twice the price. The benefits of that gate were as follows:

1) vertical "jail bars" meant my dog couldn't climb his way over to freedom

2) it was exceptionally tall which prevented our dane from being able to peek over (we covered it with blankets so it didn't drive him crazy to see the little dog running around on the other side)

...a few months ago I relocated to a new house on a busy road, and after three near-escapes, I decided it was time to create a separation between the back and front part of the house so the dog didn't end up getting killed if he finally managed to run past someone.

I found the evenflo gate at Meijers, and was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to offer all the benefits of the more expensive gate, but at half the price. Other features I enjoy about this gate include:

1) NO automatically closing door. While auto-close may be helpful for people with kids, my gate is left open 99% of the time. The gate is positioned in a walk-through area and it would be a HUGE pain to have to open it every time I wanted to walk from one side of the house to another. The only time I close the date is if I need to leave the door open (taking out trash, etc.) and then I make sure the dog is on the other side of the gate, close it, and go about my business.

2) vertical jail bars mean no impromptu climbing expeditions

3) pressure-mount --I will admit the first time we installed a pressure mount gate it was a pain and a headache, but once you get it, its a snap.

I will give a word of warning, however. My doorway is the minimum size for this gate (29 inches I believe) and it BARELY BARELY fits. If your doorway is undersized or even slightly smaller than the minimum, don't waste your money. There is really no way to rig these gates if you can't squeeze it into your doorway level.

This gate was purchased at a local baby store it installs in just a few minutes, but broke the first time we tried to open it. All forces applied against the gate when closed are focused on a tiny plastic peg about 1/3 inch in diameter. This snapped off instantly. Upon examination the piece is actually hollow! We called evenflo who sent us another gate. This gate arrived broken in the exact same place! If I could give negative or at least 0 stars, I would. It is a horrible design and of very poor quality.

Honest reviews on Evenflo Summit Easy Walk-Thru Gate

Right off the bat: I'm not reviewing this for my dog. (How's that for credibility?)

My hopefully helpful notes to you regarding this gate:

(1) They say not to put it at the top of the stairs. Pretty sure they're just covering their collective legal butts there. I could see why. If you put one at the top of the stairs and give it a gentle nudge, you may notice it give a little -especially if you've put in the extender. A toddler is unlikely to make it topple but be forewarned. That's on you.

(2) RE: the extender -I feel like there's a little wobble and give when you have the extender attached. Doesn't feel as sturdy.

(3) It's nice having the four corners as independently adjustable. Let's you put this just about anywhere. That said, there seems to be some "exact" width that won't work. Where I installed ours, the baseboard moulding was too wide to install this without the extender -but with the extender it wouldn't fit and we had to "raise up" the gate to install it over the baseboard moulding. And so it goes.

(4) The handle/latch mechanism is... well, it takes some getting used to. It takes some force and finesse. Give yourself a day or two to get used to it. Give yourself a week before you really get used to it.

Am I pleased? Pleased enough. It gets the job done and I don't have to fret with stepping over a "traditional" baby gate (nor put it up and take it down twice a day...)

Difficult for children and adults to use, but that's what makes it impossible for toddlers to open it. I need it when 16m grandson is here to keep him and our cat separate. The bars widest width opening is 2-1/8 inches. First time set up without original packaging strap was 3-5 minutes. I like the red and green indicator to show the gate is set up and locked securely.

OPTIONAL: Use a zip-tie strap, etc. to secure the gate before removing to temporary storage. Can ease reinstall, but not necessary.

NOTE: I lay a small rug over the lower bar once set up as a visual reminder to step over the lower bar. Necessary if I go barefoot and want to spare my toes.

The Zack and Zoey brand is turning out to be my favourite. This collar was too big for my Border Collie/Lab mix so I gave it to my friend and the collar fit her big fat Lab perfectly. In my opinion, the collar runs a little big. The collar is well made, is sturdy and light so the dogs don't get weighed down.

This collar looks really good but as far as function, the end of the strap always falls through the buckle loop which is supposed to hold it in place. The strap was always dangling in my dogs face so I had to use a safety pin to keep the end of the collar in place, which is annoying when you want to put it on or off.

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).
