I ordered this product to help us train our new Yorkie pups. The pen seems to be well constructed and well thought out, with one exception. While the top is affixed to the pen with a 360 degree zipper and is thus securely attached at its circumference, the bottom is attached with Velcro.

The problem is that the Velcro does not secure the bottom completely around the pen; the bottom's attached by 8 small (approximately 1" x 1") Velcro pads, one on each side (not corner) of the pen. This leaves an unsecured `flap' at each corner of the pen, which allows the pups to get at the carpeting on which the pen rests; this, to some degree, defeats the purpose of the pen.

I think I can fix this with some more Velcro, but why should I have to? Had the manufacturer used a zipper on the bottom as they did on the top this would not be an issue.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

I was recently contacted by the manufacturer and was informed that they had improved the product by adding a zipper to the bottom panel. This improvement makes this a 5-star product.

FURTHERMORE, they shipped me the updated product AT NO CHARGE. They didn't even ask me to return the original.

This is outstanding service, especially given that I had never contacted them to complain about the product in the first place they came to me based on my review! Companies like this deserve our fullest support; I hope folks reading this review reward them by purchasing their product.

Have a small, older dog who was feeling anxious when left home alone. Started having accidents. Set up his food, water, and blankets in the pen. Left the door unzipped and he started going in by himself to eat and nap. We call the pen Jake's apartment :). He's now feeling safe and comfortable. Much better than a small kennel. I am impressed with the strength of the velcro bottom. It's secure enough not to separate so he can't get out. Product is sturdy, yet easy to disassemble if we want to move it to another room. Zippered top makes it easy to get to his food and water dishes so no one has to go through the doggie door. Smartly made. Fantastic product. Great price. Thank you.

3 barking yorkies and camping don't alwats mix when fellow paw friends walk by. This pet playpen made a world of difference. Decrease the barking almost 95%. Love the easy pop out! Really makes for a calmer day! I also use this for when the repair-man or company come to visit. Works wonders! at times I did have to place towels along part of this playpen for blocking views from other animals. Wish they would have made this with little flaps to block the screens for decrease in pup anxiety! I totally would recommend this as a great little hide-away for animals! This is the PAW-fect Pad!

Honest reviews on Large Pet Dog Play Pen By 46L" X 46W" X 31H" Zipped Bottom Panel

This product is made of high quality materials. We purchased the item for our 10 week old Chihuahua, since he was getting into all sorts of mischief. He is very content in the pen and enjoys the ability to play and run around without being in his crate. The pen is large enough for his crate and PeePee Pad Holder. The only drawback has been stated before is that there isn't enough velcro to hold the bottom in. The first time we placed him in it, he discovered the edge and pulled it back. He hasn't figured out that if he crawls under the other flap he can be out...but it will be a matter of time. I am going to add additional velcro to insure there are no "escapes".

After a modification, snaps every foot around the edge of the floormat, it works great as a travel playpen for my daughter. A lot easier to use and more space to play than a normal playpen. The mesh is larger holes so bees don't get in, but smaller bugs can. Just goes to show that you can find a reasonable childs outdoor playyard. Just got to know to look at pet yards too.

Sometimes just using a topical flea treatment like Frontline or Advantage on your pet is not enough if you live in an area where there is a serious flea infestation. I found this out the hard way last summer. Hot, humid weather really brings out the fleas. Not to mention a neighbor of mine who lets his cats loaded with fleas roam the neighborhood.

You have to attack the problem three ways: outdoor environment, indoor environment and the pet itself, yet do it safely.

Zodiac FleaTrol is the indoor solution to my flea problem. Last year was the first time I've had to "fog" since 1993 (before Program and the various topical flea treatments were available for pets).

I always buy the 3 pack of X-O-Trol. This seems to be the right amount for a 1000 square foot condo with vaulted ceilings. Just don't OVERKILL on the number of foggers you place it can be deadly! I remember a news story from a couple years ago where a woman placed double the amount of cans of fogger in her house and the pilot light from her water heater ignited the vapors and blew the house up.

It's obvious some preparations need to be made before using the fogger. The "most" important and I hope it's obvious -REMOVE ALL YOUR PETS! You and your pets need to be outside for several hours. I crate the cats and let my dog run in the backyard, while I take it easy on the deck on a nice day.

Turn off the thermostat, unplug the refrigerator and put out any pilot lights if you have gas. Put away all food, pet food, water bowls, etc. so the insecticide can't contaminate anything. Make sure all the windows and doors are closed tight or the fogger will be wasted. Upon re-entry, wash off all countertops and any place your cats would lay (window sills).

I used this product about 2 weeks ago in my small house, one in every room but the kitchen, and I have to say I am impressed. Our flea problem wasn't terrible, but I had bites on me feet everyday from them. There was no smell, and surprisingly no residue either like I had been hearing from others. I have not seen a single flea since. HOWEVER, we did this along with treating our 2 cats with Revolution (from the vet) the night before, and we sprayed our yard at the same time. Since then, we have been flea free!

I don't usually write reviews, but I think everyone should read mine if you have fleas. I spotted fleas on my cats about 3 weeks ago. A trip to the Vet confirmed it. The Vet gave the pets Capstar pills to kill the ADULT fleas (it will not kill anything else). The fleas dropped off. I bathed them using Dawn dishwashing liquid. That cleaned them up. I kept them in the garage and kept giving the Capstar pills, for a couple of days while I approached the fleas in the house. I had a moderate infestation, but with a 14 room, 7,000 sq. ft. house, I wasn't taking chances. I got a hold of Zodiac Flea Foggers. First of all, if you think 1 fogging is going to kill these buggers, forget it. I recommend having a conversation with the VERY HELPFUL staff at the company that makes the Zodiac Foggers. I learned that vacuuming everyday is THE best thing to do, in addition to the foggers. WHY? Because this is the only way you will remove the pupae stage of the flea from the carpets, etc. which is impossible to kill. And this is what hatches the fleas. So, vacuum, vacuum, every single day. Don't skip it or you are back to square one. If your pet has been in any spot in your house you must treat it! If the pet never goes in a room of the house, chances are you won't get fleas there. Wear white sox while vacuuming to determine the amount of your infestation. You will see them on the sox. Tiny ones just haven't bitten anything yet. But they will! So, I set off a fogger in every room of my house. About 8 days later I still had fleas, but not as much. Meanwhile I used flea spray under all chairs, couches, etc. Think of a fogger as a fine mist rain it will only treat where the fine mist falls down onto. After finding the fleas again 8 days later, I fogged the whole house again. Meanwhile, and this is important....I had the pets run around the house to "collect" the fleas onto their bodies. More Capstar pills and the adults fell off. I vacuumed the cats with the hose attachment (they didn't like it at first, but then got used to it)and this "excited" the fleas to hatch out. Next day, another Capstar pill and more adult fleas off the cats. Then, follow up with another bathing.

So, I'm three weeks into the flea infestation; the cats show some "flea dirt" on them, so I am still vacuuming, fogging and spraying. The infestation is wayyyy down, but I am going to continue vacuuming, fogging, spraying, bathing the cats and giving them Capstar. I did a Zodiac Spot on thing on the larger cat, but it showed no marked improvement in killing fleas on him. It just made his eyes water a greenish puss type substance. He is OK now. After that, I didn't treat our little cat.

So, I do recommend Zodiac fogger, just don't be a fool and think that one time will magically kill the fleas. Fleas, I have found out are very, very resilient. You must keep vacuuming everyday, fogger every 8-10 days, once fleas have hatched (if you fog when the fleas are in the pupae stage, it's going to do nothing), keep an eye on the cats for infestations and treat them. I do recommend that you think up all your questions and call Zodiac. It was really very helpful and I think I'm gonna beat this flea thing. I have spent about $900 so far between Vets and foggers, spray, etc. It would be less for a smaller home. Professional companies wanted $1800 A TIME to do my house and they said it would probably take 2 times to kill the fleas. Timing is everything in flea control.

I have used this product every summer for 6 years. It kills EVERYTHING! I don't even see as much as a spider in my home for the entire season. I use 1 at the end of the hallway, 1 between my kitchen and living room, and I at the bottom of the basement stairs. It leaves absolutley no odor, or residue. I do remove evrything from my counters, but I do not open my cabinets as the label suggests and it still works fine. A deep clean after fogging and I am pest free for the summer!!

As I write this my roommate and I are fighting a serious flea infestation. Despite the fact the dog isn't allowed in my bedroom, my room is ground zero for the infestation. We've managed to beat back the flea problem in every room except mine. This product was probably the best one we've used (including calling an exterminator)

This fogger is particularly good because it has both a flusher and a insect growth regulator (IGR). The flusher is a type of pyrethrin which quickly kills adults and flushes them out of cracks and crevices so they can be exposed to the IFR. The IGR in this product (methoprene) prevents flea larva from maturing into adults which bite and lay eggs. Professional exterminators often refer to methoprene as Precor. There are other IGRs also Nylar (ethoxyl pyridine), Gentrol (hydroprene). It helps to know the chemicals and commercial names of all these products when you are shopping around.

We've tried just about every spray and fogger you can buy in stores. Most foggers you find in hardware stores (even the ones for fleas) only contain a flusher. This will kill the adults but leave maturing larva and eggs behind and inevitably you will be reinfested. We made this mistake with the first foggers we bought. The second set of foggers we bought contained Nylar (ethoxyl pyridine). They really seemed to work 4-5 days later we started finding fleas again.

So finally after reading reviews and really understanding the chemicals that professionals use, I picked out these foggers. We used probably twice as much fogger as we needed. I think one box is good for over 2000sq ft, and our house is only about 1000 sq ft. They worked much better than anything else. I also picked up the handheld fogger/sprayer that Zodiac sells and used that inside furniture, box-springs, etc. I removed all vent covers and opened all the closets and sprayed inside them. They say that you only need to worry about pet bedding and things within a foot of the floor, but to be careful I've removed all cloths, bedsheets, etc. from my room, bagged them up, and washed most of them (the rest are still in bags). I actually broke my washing machine in the process of doing all the laundry. We have no carpet in our house (all hardwood or vinyl) so there is really nowhere for fleas to hide. We've vacuumed every day or two since fogging. And we seemed to be flea free for over a week. I thought we had the problem licked.

During all this I built a flea trap similar to one sold by Westham Innovations. Fleas are attracted to pulsing green light (there are academic papers to back this up), and I happened to have some pulsing green LEDs lying around. Other forms of light will work too, but not nearly as well. Take some of these LEDs and a bowl of soapy water, and you've got a flea trap. It won't get rid of the fleas but it's sort of the "canary in coal mine" for flea infestations.

So over a week after using the Zodiac foggers I saw a flea in the flea trap. And the next day I saw 3. And the next day you couldn't even walk across the room to check the trap without having 5 fleas jump on you. It was about a flea per second. And they were biting.

So after spending $100+ on foggers, area sprays, powders (chemical and natural/green), flea drops, flea collars, flea bathes it seems like we have got rid of fleas on the dog and throughout most of the house. But my room is still completely infested. So we finally caved and called an exterminator. $125 for the first treatment and $65 for the second. I wasn't around when he sprayed, but he left a sheet listing the chemicals he sprayed (Precor and a Flusher/Pyrethrin) and they were identical to what is in the Zodiac foggers. The concentrations were slightly higher, but very similar.

When I came back the next day my room was still infested with fleas. I called the exterminator on Saturday and finally heard back from their office on Monday. I tried to explain that the Zodiac foggers I bought were about 10% of the cost and worked significantly better than whatever they did. They've assured me that it's normal and will take at least two visits to get rid of the fleas and considering that fleas take at least 10 days to mature I think this is believable. However, considering the effectiveness of the Zodiac foggers vs their treatment (using supposedly identical chemicals), I'm doubtful. But they have given a guarantee, so I'd rather let them try and fail and get my money back (or let them keep trying)

So I'm left in the position of either spending more money on the Zodiac foggers in addition to the exterminator, or letting the exterminator on his own try until he gets rid of them (or gives me back my money). In the mean time I can't even go in my room, I spend nights crashing at friends' houses, and all my clothes are in trash bags in the back of my car (which I pre-emptively sprayed).

I am giving the exterminator another chance to either eradicate the fleas or give me back my money. After that I am debating calling another exterminator or just buying a case of these Zodiac foggers and using them once a week for the next month. Honestly, you can easily buy all the chemicals that exterminators use and judging by our success you can do just as good a job. That being said these are somewhat toxic chemicals (but not carcinogens or too hazardous), so if you are applying any aerosols directly you probably want a respirator of some sort. The concentrations in the handheld fogger are probably safe, but this floor fogger has higher concentrations and you definitely want you and your pets to be as far away as possible when you set them off. As with many aerosols, the gas is somewhat flammable if exposed to a flame. I wouldn't set these off near (

Catty Stacks Modular Cat Condos, Sky Blue Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is a sturdy, cardboard cube that folds together using a simple tab system.

Each side has a pre-cut hole; some are smaller and offset, while others are larger and centered. The large holes are scored and can be cut even larger still with a craft knife. Our "big boned", portly cat has no trouble fitting through the larger holes, while the smaller holes provide more box surface for standing and resting.

The outside of the cube is a solid color, while the inside is, well, cardboard colored.

The cubes are not laminated or coated in any way. I initially worried that the cats would scratch on them and tear them up because of this, but we've had them for two months and they still look brand new.

It occurs to me that the unlaminated cardboard would make these super easy to decorate with craft paint, markers, crayons, or colored pencils. I could see this being a great rainy day project for a young pet owner, or even a service project for a group of kids to decorate and donate to their local cat shelter. Or, how about having local artists decorate cubes to auction off as an animal shelter fundraiser? I didn't really think of them as a "blank canvas" until I put them together at home.

The cubes clip to one another using metal binder clips (included). This allows them to be arranged and rearranged many different ways. I love how lightweight they are; very easy to move as needed.

Our cats adore having the cubes connected in a long, low "tunnel" down the hallway; they run across the top or through the middle every time they travel up and down the hall. They stash toys in there and love to leap out to surprise one another and unsuspecting people. It has turned a space we weren't using for anything into a cat playground!

When we've stacked the cubes in pyramid-type structures, response has been varied. Our youngest cat climbs all over them, but the senior cat seems to lack the coordination to climb up through the holes and a little unsure about the whole thing. Still, this would be brilliant for kittens and athletic cats.

The only things keeping this from being a 5-star review is the cost. It is, afterall, a cardboard box and a handful of binder clips. They are surprisingly sturdy and are holding up exceptionally well, but could not be cleaned easily in the event of a cat-related mess of some sort. If a cat picks the wrong place to furball (or worse) we'll likely have to let the whole cube go. If the price were a little lower, that would be less of a concern.

Still, compared to the price of those ugly and equally hard-to-clean carpet and playwood cat towers at the pet store, these seem like a good pick. They're made in the USA, by a small company with cats at heart. They're modern and understated so people don't mind having them around, with a clever modular design that makes them great fun for the cats. No regrets on this purchase!

My cat is in love with her catty stacks. I started with 3, ended up putting them in a line because she wasnt wanting to climb up into the 2nd level. Clipped some hanging toys from the holes and she loves it. She hides behind it, plays in it and has been sleeping in it. The cardboard is very heavy duty and sturdy... I will definately look at adding more cubes in the future.

Honest reviews on Catty Stacks Modular Cat Condos, Sky Blue

Our four living-room cats love these Catty Stacks. At first I didn't have much hope for the longevity of the stacks. Our cats like to chew cardboard, wire, etc., etc., and their teeth are like wire-cutters combined with diagonal pliers. Moreover, one kitty is still getting her adult teeth and likes to chew everything.

And I figured a few of their wild romps and leaps would crush the cardboard into oblivion, where it could be chewed up even more.

Well, I underestimated the industrial strength of these boxes. The cats are all over them, sleeping, playing jack-in-the-box, leaping on and off, and doing a little jaw-exercise where they can. But these cat condos are still pristine!

I put some towels in the bottoms of two condos fastened together with the included clips, and then gave them a spritz of catnip spray. The cats loved it, of course, and they spend lots of time there. But no matter how I encourage them, they can't seem to destroy these simple cardboard boxes.

The fact there are lots of holes all around makes them irresistable playthings. Paws shoot out to bat and heads pop out to bite anything or anybody who ventures too close.

So I and our cats all agree the Catty Stacks deserve a five-star review.

Out of my four cats this gets daily use and is especially use by two of them. My cats are on the smaller side only 8-10 lbs. I bought 12 a while ago and just bought another dozen to really create an environment. They can loosen up a bit, but just a small clip will take care of it, but it's not that bad and I can easily deal with it, pretty minor.

I highly recommend trying at least three or four and see if your cats are into it, then maybe take the plug and commit to more. They're great for the value compared to so many other cardboard cat product. They are also durable, easy to setting up, great customizability (I move them around and reconfigure form time to time)and they are sustainable!

Bottom Line: I think they're great.

This gate works for wide openings. Our width was 62-inches wide, and was the area between the dining room and the kitchen.

This particular gate uses four mounts that you screw into your walls. The gate itself can easily be detached from the mounts after installation in case you want to temporarily remove the gate. Another comment indicated that your baseboard may get into the way during installation. This is true. You do have the option of cutting the baseboard, or do what we did, mount the gate just above the baseboard. This was suspended less than three inches for us, so no child could get their head stuck in the gap. The only thing that it did was make the gate a little flimsy, being suspended in the air like that. It works for now, and I can always change it later. It would seem more sturdy if the bottom bar laid on the floor all the way across the opening, as I believe that is what it is designed to do. Screws for mounting seem a little short, if you take into consideration the thickness of your drywall (in case you want to screw into a stud). I used a couple of deck screws to mount the brackets onto one side of the wall that would insert into a stud. You may want to locate a stud in your walls on at least one side of your opening for better stability. The other side is mounted in drywall for us with the provided plastic inserts. The latching mechanism can be unlatched with one hand, but you really need two hands to re-latch it. Unlike the narrower version of this gate, the door is not spring loaded, so it stays open where you leave it. It swings open to either side of the gate. Color is brown. The narrower version of this gate is in white. Again, we have both. We expect the gate to functionally work for us. If you have wooden floors, you may want to run a rubber or one-half of the velcro tape (the soft side) underneath the bottom bar to prevent scratching your floors, as the unit shifts slightly upon use. Good luck with this gate.

This gate is amazing! I have bought many gates over the years. I have two mastiffs and I wanted something tall enough to keep them from getting over AND something stylish that would look good at my front hallway entrance to my house. It is just beautiful put up. I have had many compliments from people coming over on the gate. Its very sturdy and is easy to take off if I need to. It securely attached to the wall, but yet with just twisting the locking pieces on the sides you can just lift it right off and if you don't want to use it. Then to put it back you just sit it back down into the connectors on the wall and lock it in place. Easy to put together also. I have NOTHING to say negative about this gate. It is one of the rare purchases you get when you know you got exactly what you wanted!

Honest reviews on Summer Metal Expansion Gate, 6 Foot Wide Extra Tall Walk-Thru

I guess we got a lemon because after only a month of use the upper welded hinge on the door broke. So unless we get a replacement one and that one holds up for a year or so I have to say that I am greatly disappointed in this. While it work, it worked well. Was easy to open. A little tricky to install but the complexity of making a gate that spans such a wide doorway kind of requires multiple pieces to fit together. I am confused by other low ratings that complain about it being permanent or having to screw into the wall. I was well aware of this before I even bought the gate. It is labeled as such and marking it down for functioning as designed makes no sense. We also have a 5yo that quickly learned how to open it as well....so no complaining about being hard to open!

Anyways....we ordered this March 7th and it was broken by April 15th. We have a 1yo (reason for the gate) that we want to keep from the stairs. This served well in our extra wide hallway because the gate was very custom fit for the width. One day my wife opened the door and the upper hinge broke at the weld point. She is no monster so I know she didn't over power the gate. It looks like it was just poorly welded. Hopefully I hear from Summer Infant quickly and they can get a new door out to me that will last a long time. Otherwise I hate to have to replace it. I can only give this one star because of how quickly it broke. I will change it if a new door holds up better....assuming we hear from the mfg.

This is the third gate we've had for the 6' opening between our kitchen and living room. The first one was the Wide Spaces Swing Gate. It was difficult to open and one morning my husband stumbled over it and it broke into several pieces. The second one was a slightly better wooden gate. A bit more solid and lasted about 2 years. Eventually, our monkey boy toddler destroyed that too. Of all the gates we've had, this one is the most solid, adjustable, and tallest. the gate is easy enough to operate one-handed, but still too tricky for our toddler to use. He's yanked pretty hard on it and it barely budges. Best of all, we have older cats who have a hard time jumping over the baby gates. It just worked out so that the extension on one side is large enough the cats can pass through, but kids can't. This gate is worth every penny.

*Update*

The best part about this gate is that it's easy to remove and reinstall when necessary. We just recently got a new mattress & box spring and taking the gate in and out is done in less than 30 seconds.

Anything that is plush and squeaks usually lasts about 10 minutes in our house and their toy bin is basically full of unstuffed carcasses. These squeaker mats though lasted weeks. There is little actual stuffing in them its basically a ton of seams and lots of squeakers If you have strong dogs, this is the toy for you, even after the squeakers are gone they hold up pretty well as pull toys I have 4 or 5 of them.

The toy is smaller than I thought it would be but it is a great size for my dog. The head rattles so he likes to hold it in his mouth and shake his head. Needless to say, he LOVES all of the squeakers. Typically squeakers are squeaked out in a matter of moments but it took him quite a while to get to all of these squeakers (I think a couple might still work).

Honest reviews on Plush Puppies Dog Squeaker Mat Toy, Squirrel, Large

My photos pretty much say it all. I have 6 Greyhounds: 3 gals and 3 guys. All are special-needs rescues. My oldest boy (and also my largest boy) doesn't play often or even move around much. He has chronic deeply imbedded corns in his front toe pads on both feet that are surgically excised every 3-4 months since the day I brought him into my home. The corns keep growing back so just standing is painful. (Imagine walking your entire life with a small pebble in your shoe that is what he experiences all the time so he spends a good deal of his time on the floor/bed). Walking is torture whether the corns are growing, or he is healing from the surgery. By the time his bandages come off, the corns are back. In any event, this boy weighs in at 80+ lbs and is a very tall Greyhound. He's also very muscular as Greyhounds are. To find him with a toy of any kind is unusual because he just can't romp and play and toss it around because of his painful feet. To find him with a toy he doesn't want me to move or take, even to take a photo, well that just has never happened before. I can do anything to this boy and he'll let me but he wouldn't let me move this toy to take the photos so I had to work around that.

I bought this Kyjen 'squirrel' toy a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. Because of the cost, I bought only 1 (vs normally buying 6 of everything) to see if any of them would like Mr. Fox. (I think it resembles a fox more than a squirrel. Additionally my 'kids' know their toys by the names I give them and we already have 'Squirrelly' as you'll see in the photo so we can't cause confusion now, can we? After all, when I say, "go get Squirrelly and bring him in", they have to know which 'baby' I'm referring to.) No one else has had a chance to even be introduced to Mr. Fox because this boy won't let him out of his sight. Mr. Fox gets carried to my bed, into any of the 11 King-sized vari-kennels located throughout the house. He goes outside in the daylight and in the darkness of night but never gets set down for fear of him being dognapped! Mr. Fox gets carried to this boy's feeding station at mealtime and sits on the floor to catch any crumbs (not likely!) and then when mealtime is over, they both ask to be excused and leave the kitchen together, usually tail in mouth. (That's Mr. Fox's tail in Sammy-Sam's mouth just to be clear. I honestly don't think it would be possible for Mr. Fox to carry Sammy-Sam). :)

My other 5 Greys (including my two oldest geriatric gals) have all attempted to initiate play under the guise of making Sammy-Sam forget Mr. Fox so they can swoop in & steal Mr. Fox for a while, but none have been successful. And this morning I found Mr. Fox in my bed and Sammy-Sam on my bed. How this thing got under the covers is beyond me. When I went to sleep last night, both of them had crashed in a crate. Sneaky little things, the two of them.

So, take a peek at my photos. I tried to give you a point of reference so if you're familiar with dog toys you'll recognize the AKC plush toys I used as references. In one photo you'll see the AKC squirrel and bunny (both the large-sized AKC toys)adjacent to Mr. Fox. Keep in mind that in the photo, 'Bunny' doesn't have any stuffing left in her body just her head and feet so she may not look like she is supposed to look.

I guess this toy is a hit, at least with Sammy-Sam. If he ever decides to share with the others I'll be back to edit this review (and maybe spend money on a few more). He's not playing much with the squeakers although there are plenty to squeak. He more enjoys the softness and plushness on which to rest his large chin and throat, or to fall asleep while cuddling with Mr. Fox. I'd also like to note that the eyes are not hard button eyes. They resemble a well-made/thick arm patch (think Girl Scout badge) and are sewn (not glued) to the face in one piece. The nose is a sturdy/thick pompom not skimpy so it isn't going to be easily pulled apart into little threads of yarn. That, too, is sewn into place. His teeth (buck teeth at that remember, he's suppose to be a squirrel) is a piece of thick felt sewn to the mouth). But when he's on the floor, you can't see his mouth anyway so I'm pretty sure for all time he's going to be known as Mr. Fox in our house.

My dog loves all of the squeakers in this toy. It is durable and I throw it in the washer and dryer when she leaves it outside. Lasts a long time--great toy.

Cheap Grriggles 3-1/2-Inch Rope Fruit Crew Dog Toy, Strawberry

Customer Ratings:

I barely tugged on the tag to remove it and the whole green top came off, I am going to return it as I never even gave it to my puppy. The red part appears to be tightly woven but I'm not going to take any chances on how the rest of it is made.

Little girl loved this toy. It was the right size for a teacup. But best of all it lasted through over two months of her puppy chewing, before she managed to dismantle it.

Discount Precision Extreme Outback Log Cabin Dog House

I looked pretty extensively for a dog house before settling on the Precision. Our dog isn't going to be in it full-time so I think it's going to suit her fine. The materials are decent quality. The roof isn't removeable unless you don't screw it down which is what we did. Because the roof isn't heavy it's easy to lift off for cleaning. We live in an area with extreme heat and cold. I would NOT recommend this house for those types of climates if this is going to be where your dog actually lives. There is no insulation and it will not be sufficiently warm in the winter, nor provide cool refuge in the summer. However, if you are looking for a decent house for a reasonable price that will provide adequate shelter for limited periods of time, then this is a good choice. I also would not recommend this house for a dog over 60-70 pounds. Although the specs indicate it will hold larger dogs, there's no way a bigger dog will be comfortable.

$12 for a pair of socks? I can see maybe $8 even that is high but $12 for one pair of socks come on people you know it don't take that much to make them socks

Absolutely adorable! Funny reason I bought these: my golden retriever always finds a sock to put in his mouth and greet us with. He then literally dog talks. He loved them. And if people were to wear them, good quality as they have been in the house, in the yard, etc. for some time now.

Reviews of Lucky Dog Windscreen Shade and Winter Kit for Lucky Dog Kennels, 57

Customer Ratings:

This is well worth the money. It really keeps the wind off of your pet. It is actually warmer inside the kennel. Your pet can see through it, so he doesn't feel like he's in a cave, which is great for your "watch dog". We have the roofing system with it and would highly recommend it as well.

A year after ordering the 5' x 10' deluxe Lucky Dog kennel (and also thermoplastic flooring), I decided to add the windscreen shade and winter kit, and I'm very glad I did so. Previously I was placing an outdoor white table cloth on the kennel to keep the sun and wind off my English springer spaniel, and it was held to the kennel by shower curtain rungs and my daughter told me it looked very tacky. So I ordered the windscreen (made to fit my size kennel) and it works just great. I used only half of the material during this past Memphis summer (folded it under) so there would be both shade and an open area for my dog to look out, but this winter I plan to place it completely around the sides to keep out the majority of the rain and snow (I have a wooden dog house inside the kennel, and I winterize it as needed). And so now the kennel looks very cool with the appropriate-sized black ventilated shade material attached securely (yet can be removed if needed) on the black powder-coated kennel; I might add that the Lucky Dog kennel is extremely well-made and neighbors have offered compliments on how good it now looks). I plan to report back in a year how well windscreen/winter kit holds up to the elements, but it appears to be very good synthetic mesh material and it comes with plenty of ties (really too long so I cut them off with the pliers after the tie) and brass-type grommets for the ties, and so I have given it the highest rating.

I ordered this doghouse and rec it a couple of days ago. It's a cute doghouse, but much over priced for the quality. 2 of the pieces were broken...wood is much too ligh-weight for the price. Instructions are poor, had to rely on the picture of it on the boxes. I don't believe this product is a good value for the money.

It is a very pretty doghouse, but not hard enough. Our dog ate most of the wood in the house the following day. I think that for big dogs the wood does not work.

We purchased this dog house for our seven year old yellow Labrador. She loves it and uses it daily. She's even been so comfortable in it that she sleeps in it at night instead of coming inside the house. She's just under 100 lbs, and has plenty of room. The house was very easy to assemble and the pieces fit together without any adjustments required. The house floor isn't as sturdy as I might have made it, but my dog doesn't seem to mind as long as there is a dog bed in there for her to lay on. Overall, we're happy with this purchase.

Cheap Snuggle Safe Pet Bed Microwave Heating Pad

My pet sitter told me about this cool little disc. It looks like a frisbee. After you heat it in your microwave for 6 minutes, it emits heat of 120 degrees Farenheit for 12 hours. I use it to keep a homeless kitty that has adopted me warm at night. I just heat the disc, stick it in a box under some blankets on my porch, and the kitty is ecstatic. He sits on it like it's an egg, purring. It's safe and very effective on cold winter nights. This is a really great gift for anyone who loves cats.

This is an absolutely fantastic product. We use it for stray cats that find their way to our porch in the winter. I fix up a cardboard box, put several layers of blankets in it, and slip the heated Snuggle Safe disc in under the first blanket. Every cat we've ever used it with was in cat "heaven" when they curled up in that box and found it so warm. That little disc has helped several cats survive the winter. Give it a try, your cat will love you for it.

Be sure to heat it in the microwave for only as long as it says. The directions include heating times for various wattages. I just wish it wasn't so rigid, but a couple of towels or a blanket softens it up a bit. Go ahead! Get one! You'll love it!

Honest reviews on Snuggle Safe Pet Bed Microwave Heating Pad

We are feral cat colony caretakers. My first experience with this product was at the monthly TNR clinic. After neuter surgery cats generally will shiver due to a reaction with the anesthesia and need to be warmed or they could go into shock. The clinic had several of these to warm cats up who needed help. They are AWESOME for this purpose. If you are involved with TNR and volunteer at clinics, these really help out! (No more warming saline solution bags over and over again!) Finally finding out what they are called, we have added this to our feral cat "rescue" kit!

EDIT

I came back after receiving this item to add additional comments and lower the rating. First, the listing for this item does not show or really state (except in a lower part) that you receive a cover for it and the picture does not show a cover so you think you need to purchase one. You don't. It comes with one, so basically we wasted $2.95 + shipping for an item we do not need.

Second, after purchasing and receiving this item, the very next day we found these at our local PetSmart for (are you ready?) $14.75. The current price of $28.53 is nearly $14 higher than the exact same ones we found at PetSmart (and they were not on clearance).

If I would have known these were available at my local PetSmart, we would have saved nearly $17.00 plus $5.65 shipping for a total of $22.65! These are OVERPRICED! Go to your local PetSmart and purchase one there. I truly feel like I have been ripped off!

EDIT.. again

I came back and changed my review of the product. The comments below are correct, I should not hold the product "responsible" for the price of the item on Amazon. It really is a five star product however, shop around for the lowest price.

I have been looking for a product like this for ages!!! My sphynx (hairless) cat loves to sleep on the {snuggle safe} disc while I am at work, and I don't have to worry about it catching on fire like a heating pad or some other electronically controlled device.
