LED Nylon Night Safety Dog Collar by Nite Ize - Red - Large
Buy LED Nylon Night Safety Dog Collar by Nite Ize - Red - Large Now
This collar works well, is highly visible at night, and economical with battery power.It uses a standard CR2032 lithium button, available everywhere.
It's available in 3 sizes and 2 colours (I walk 2 dogs together).
And the verdict from the boys themselves, .....
"Four paws up!"
I just bought a third collar as a backup; my first is still working well after 3 years!

I own both the leash and collar of this style. The material is incredibly thick and durable. I walk my 100 lbs Rottweiler in the dark in the morning and it is more than sturdy enough for her!Want LED Nylon Night Safety Dog Collar by Nite Ize - Red - Large Discount?
First off, during the time it worked it was perfect. We have a black dog and the collar helped her stand out during the night. However, sizing the collar was difficult, involved cutting the plastic of the inner tube, and was less than intuitive.The major point, though, is that it didn't work after 30 mins. We changed the battery figuring that maybe it was shipped with an old battery, but still nothing. All in all, we spent $20 for a wonderful 30 mins.
DT Works Harness, Clear Patches, Black, Medium - Fits Girth Size: 28-Inch to 38-Inch
SmartBones Dental Dog Treat
With a puppy, I needed something to satisfy her chewing urge. The treat fractured into small bits all over the floor but our dog was willing to pick those up. The pieces looked rather sharp and that was a concern. Others mentioned it was made in China and I would like to add the first ingredient is corn. It might last longer for very small dogs.My minischnauzer loves them and I love the fact they are not made from rawhide. Thanks for a great product.

My dog looks forward to a Smart Bone every evening for "dessert". In fact he looks for the Smart Bone before finishing his food and then returns to his dish to finish the food. I really appreciate that they are not made from rawhide and I don't have to feel guilty giving him "dessert".My dog loves these. The vet. also remarked how my 14 year old dog teeth were. I've been ordering this product and will continue.My dogs love these!! I use this as their special treat. They are very healthy and a great alternative to rawhide. I would definitely purchase again.Easy Walk Harness - Medium, Raspberry Pink

It is really great for my bulldog. Fits great. I think it is comfortable for all dogs that pull on walksRead Best Reviews of Easy Walk Harness - Medium, Raspberry Pink Here
This is a nice harness, it is easy to fit and looks comfortable on the dog. It does not however prevent the dog from pulling. If the dog is pulling the D clip where you attach the harness just swings over to the side. If the dog wants to pull they will still do so. It is not a miracle cure for pulling.This is such a wonderful product. We recently got a chocolate lab puppy who would get WAY too excited when we would go for walks and she would pull very hard, so hard that she would choke herself and gag when we would walk. After purchasing this harness it was a completely different experience walking her. I absolutely enjoy walking her and I think she is happier too. It is no longer difficult for me to hold her back and she doesn't get choked. The only draw back is the dry rubbing under her armpits where the harness rests. Other than that this product is absolutely wonderful!!!!Wooden Bone Design Gate
Buy Wooden Bone Design Gate Now
Love the gate! Great for little dogs and medium size. Easy to move around in your house. Great price. Recommend this product.Gate is exactly as shown. Solidly made, heavy enough wouldn't fall over if someone brushed up against it and neither of my big dogs can easily push it with their noses (or at least they haven't figured it out yet). It's a bit shorter in length than I expected (should have gotten the measuring tape out first!)I ended up attaching to the wall on one side and a bookshelf on the other. It's being used to block the entrance to a stairway that is quite open, so there's nothing to back the gate up on either end. With the smaller dog it wouldn't necessarily be a problem, however with my two larger dogs, they could lean on it and knock it over. I would highly recommend this over some of the other gates similarly priced or even the cheaper ones that look okay but turn out to be rather flimsy.Friday, August 30, 2013

I'm sure not everyone has had this experience, otherwise this product would have been recalled. Here's the story and it's not pretty. About 4 or 5 days after I plugged in the diffuser, my dog starting having liquid diarrhea and gas. I couldn't get a full night's sleep for days because I had to take him out every couple hours throughout the night. The vet prescribed some medication to give his colon some relief. Because of the proximity in time between activating the diffuser and my dog getting diarrhea, and that there was no dietary explanation, I thought maybe the dog appeasing pheromone was causing it. So, I unplugged it for a while. My dog got better, with the help of the medication of course.Then, I waited about 3 weeks and plugged the diffuser back in. I wanted to make absolutely sure it was the pheromone and not just a coincidence. Well, 5 days later he started having liquid diarrhea and gas again. So, I unplugged the diffuser and threw it out, along with my 3 refill pack. He recovered soon after. I believe this dog appeasing pheromone is harmful to my dog. I'm really surprised no one else has mentioned this in a review. I can't have the only dog in the world that has this reaction to it. He's a hearty border collie.
I'm not necessarily saying don't get this product. I'm just suggesting you pay close attention to your dog's digestive health in the first week of installing your diffuser. If you notice any negative change, get rid of it.

I have a small epileptic dog who has had horrible anxiety and submissive urination problems. It's so sad and frustrating. Mostly, you even can't touch him without him urinating. He has had multiple accidents every single day for as long as I can remember. I order the DAP diffuser, hoping for some marginal improvement in my dog's anxiety level. I just plugged the diffuser in 3 days ago...what a miracle! His anxiety seems to be gone and he hasn't urinated in the house one time since the diffuser was plugged in. I'm really blown away!Plaid Pillow Dog Bed with Berber Top

Wonderful purchase for the money, just wish my puppy wasn't in her eating EVERYTHING stage still.. she completely destoyed the zipper within the first 48 hours. on the second day of the bed being in her cage and everyone being at work... the cover is basically ruined. I can always find some DIY dog bed cover though to accommodate. I totally recomend buying this if you have a dog, just don't leave a puppy alone with it.Read Best Reviews of Plaid Pillow Dog Bed with Berber Top Here
If you have outdoor dogs, think about buying another one. If your dogs are still in the chewing stage, definitely buy another one. I found this in the yard, in about 1,000 pieces and it was not easy and incredibly frustrating to pick up. For a smaller, indoor dog, I see it working perfectly.The stuffing does not hold up ~ it's now flat & lumpy.....no comfort for my aging dog whatsoever. He's had a few beds over the past 12.5 years that have all been great & held up well....this one is terrible. Beyond the stuffing being a mess ~ I've taken it out of the zippered cover a few times to wash it (that's a main reason I bought this one bc my dog has skin issues & things need to be washed frequently including him LOL).......the thin layer of covering on the stuffing has ripped bc it is flimsy & cheap even when I'm being incredibly gentle trying to remove it. I've never had this problem with any other bed. It's just not a quality product in the slightest. Don't waste your money.PetSafe Dummy ScatMat Dog Training Mat, Medium

I agree with the person who said it should include a "dummy" electrical box. But even so, it still works. I have a couple of live ones and a couple of dummy ones and my yorkie doesn't know the difference and won't cross them. They are perfect in doorways with a smallish dog as she won't jump across them either. We keep her out of the laundry room this way where so she won't chew our shoes and out of the bathroom so she won't chew the toilet paper....you get the picture. It works.Read Best Reviews of PetSafe Dummy ScatMat Dog Training Mat, Medium Here
I thought I would get what is PICTURED, a dummy looking Matt that would be an empty clear box (no electronics of course) attached (or able to be attached) to this clear Matt.Yes the plastic is very similar to my real ScatMat (that has worked great for 2 years). But the lack of the box, and the lack of wires (or even JUST an image of thin wires would do the trick on the underside of the Matt... HINT HINT HINT) would have been great.
Like most folks I KNEW this was not a functional box (at 25% of the cost) but expected the "Dummy Matt" to at least RESEMBLE the real thing...
I have no idea (just got it today) if it will fool both of my cats, but I will try! I know if it simply LOOKED like the real thing that would have done it. My real Matt has had a dead battery for a month or more and both of our cats do not go near the doorway (bedroom) it protects. That was why I knew a dummy Matt would be fine... I hate to say it but I am quite tempted to return this and get a second functional Matt and leave the battery out...
I will give it a try, but really hate that BOTH PICTURES (two sizes) linked to this dummy item show the real thing. If you look CLOSELY the thumbnail picture in your order and below the item when you look at "Frequently Bought Together" shows what you will get. A completely clear Matt with the holes cut out for the box to attach. My guess is this is the Matt "raw" before it gets the wires in the factory. If they had simply SHOWED the correct picture my expectations would have been different and I would have given this more stars...
EVEN RIGHT NOW as I look to my right it shows YET ANOTHER DIFFERENT picture of this item that IS NOT accurate. In the picture showing is the extension with the wires clearly visible as are the snaps (no box though).
Come on guys, it would cost MAYBE a dollar to include a clear plastic box with the dummy matt, and the shipping box is already plenty big enough to contain it.
Also, fire the dolt who thought this packaging and product was a good idea (hire me!). This device should get it's own manual and NOT include the manual for the real scatmat! No wonder why you guys have gotten so many bad reviews. So change the included manual (no cost) and include a clear plastic box (cost will be under $1 for the empty box). I would gladly pay $5 more for just the damn empty box and this would have been a 5 star review!

The picture depicts the electrical box as part of the item. Not true. All you receive, essentially, is a plastic mat with hole punchouts to inset the electrical box you most likely have if you bought the ScatMat. It is not worth it. I love the scat mat, but they should include a dummy box too.Guardian Gear 2-Way Coupler - Flamingo Pink

The collars work great..I wish that the prongs came in different sizes as my dogs are small and would like the option of having shorter prongs.PetSafe Lickety Stik
A new idea for treats is always welcomed. We had 3 flavors of Stiks, Bacon, Chicken and Liver. We tried all three on both Sundae and Casey. Sundae licked all three and seemed to like them all. Casey, however, wouldn't try any of the three, just turning his head in apparent disgust (lol). Having had dogs my whole life, you never can tell what a dog will like or dislike. I didn't give this 5 stars, because of some functional reasons, not because Casey didn't even try it. First, the lick ball is exactly like a deodorant ball. As a matter of fact, the container reminds me of an Arrid Rollerball Deodorant bottle exactly. It doesn't move freely by just licking, you have to gently squeeze the bottle for the liquid to be available to the dog. If you squeeze too hard, it drips onto the floor. Other than that, it seems to be enjoyable. It is supposed to be healthy, but I had to use a magnifying glass to read the rather small label.
The video is one of our taste tests. Hope you enjoy it.
Update July/September 2012: Sad to say both my beautiful puppies in this video have passed on. They were both 12 years old.I am a veterinarian with 7 years experience, and I have 3 Great Danes. I am always looking for safe, effective, fun, and innovative new pet products. I saw the video for this product, and definitely agree that carrying a pocketful of crumbling treats isn't much fun for training/rewards, so decided to give it a try. All 3 of my girls tried to bite the bottle at first (and I think most dogs will), but within a few seconds, all of them figured it out, and were licking away very happily, each taking their turn sitting down for me. I also recently used it to help keep them standing still while my 8 year old daughter gave them baths outside with the hose on a nice warm day....much less mess than doing it in the tub inside! It was also handy when we went for a short hike at a local park a while back, as I am training the 2 younger Danes to wear backpacks (that's a whole other story!). Even if the dogs jump in the river wearing their backpacks and get them soaked, their treats won't get soggy. The only thing I would like to see is using a liquid treat that's maybe a bit healthier for them...the ingredient list on the Lickety Stik looks like a lot of processed stuff. It does have a bit of an odor, too, but I didn't find it that strong or offensive like some of the other people here did. And I think it's the odor that really draws the dogs to come check it out...otherwise, why would they want to just lick a plastic roller ball?
Also, I think it would be nice to have a bottle that is just a little bit larger for the large/giant breeds like mine...but this does work well regardless. Finally, I think it would be great to have a refillable bottle, so there would be less waste...500 licks goes fast when you're training 3 big dogs!
Oh, and yes, I will re-order this, and do recommend it. UPDATE 10/28/2011
It's been several weeks of using it and there is still a ton of licking left, definitely getting my moneys worth out of this treat.
Another thing that has been nice is the ability to keep this in my pocket without making a mess. So going for a walk with it has been nice (and a great way to keep his attention when there are other not well behaved dogs around).
UPDATE -
Well the puppy dog has spoken... he loves Lickety Stik!
When we first presented it to him he was a bit unsure and tried to bite the stick which was kind of cute but he quickly realized he had to lick it.
Now every time the Lickety Stik comes out as a reward or to teach him something, he just can't wait to lick the bejesus out of it.
Not only does the dog love it and responds really well to it, it's made in the USA!
This is a very unique, clean, easy to use, easy to carry, and fun treat for your dog. I would highly recommend this to most anyone. Way to go PetSafe!

*disclaimer* I was sent this item to review.
Izzy, our mini schnauzer, is very food motivated. Schnauzers have a tendency to get chunky though, so rewarding her with food every time she does a trick is a balancing act between giving her something she likes but not having her snack with treats all day.
At 1 calorie per 10 licks, along with a fun interactive way to give her the treat, the lickety safe is fun and healthy. She had no trouble at all figuring out how to lick the deodorant like ball. This would also be a nice travel treat in the car because it closes up and you don't need to get treat on your fingers to give it to the dog.This is a great training aid for all dog owners. It also eliminates clumped up dog treats that end up in your pocket after you forget to remove them before tossing you pants into the washing machine!!!!
Tri-Tronics Trashbreaker G3 EXP Training Collar
DT Works Harness, In Training, Black/White, Medium - Fits Girth Size: 28-Inch to 38-Inch
The harness is sturdy and seems well-made. My only complaint is that the plastic buckle on the girth strap seems flimsy, but we've been using the harness and the buckle held. Don't be misled by the fact that it's size "Medium." Our pup is 80 lbs. now, with about another 20 lbs. to grow, and it fits him very well. Overall, we are VERY happy with this harness. I would absolutely recommend it!I returned this harness due to the craftmanship as it could not fit right on my type of dog(s). It WAS heavy duty, solid, and strong...those are it's scoring points. The dogs I have are SHEPHERDS. They have V-shaped chest cavities, and no matter how I adjusted the Velcro, it would NOT stay sturdy or straight. Too much slippage. It was obvious that this type of harness is specifically designed for LABRADORS ONLY and such breeds WITH A BARREL-SHAPED CHEST CAVITY. So if you are reading this, save yourself time, money, and aggravation and listen to my advise and don't be a dummy by ignoring it. If you have a dog with a barrel shaped chest cavity, it will likely work great, otherwise, NOT. I will say that the company did not give me any problems with the return, however keep in mind that their return policy is VERY short, so if you do not react right away for your return, you might eat it on the purchase.

This product is excellent value for the price. It is very well constructed with solid materials and heavy use stitching. My only caveat is to carefully measure your dog. I accidentally ordered one that is too small for our service dog, but luckily this harness is almost perfect for our 7 month old dog in training.If I could add one more thing to it, I would have a sewn on clear pouch to slip my dog's certification card in. This way it wouldn't have to dangle from the D-Ring.My dog is still wearing this product. I think I have had it for over two years. It is a little worn now, yet still works great. Now he has service dog on the sides, not intraining :-) .

I bought this for my 9-pound Miniature Pinscher Chihuahua mix "Zippy." It's nicely made and I loved the Velcro attachments -very strong. However, the harness's shape let Zippy slide right out if I picked him up by it (which I figured was a good simulation of what would happen if he were backing away from me with the harness tight). Had to return it.Read Best Reviews of Puppia Dog Mesh Harness "Vest Soft" Medium Camo Here
One thing to remember with these Puppia harnesses is that they fit small. I was satisfied with my purchase/delivery but sadly the harness did not fit so I returned to the seller for full refund and purchased a Large. All in all, it was a good experience and the harnesses made by Puppia are exceptionally durable. That's an important factor with my MaltiPom for whom I bought this particular harness. He chews through harnesses regularly.Want Puppia Dog Mesh Harness "Vest Soft" Medium Camo Discount?
Bought a medium camo for my 8lb 5 month old malshi. Fits him perfectly and is light weight and comfy. i liked how this wasn't a slip over his neck, but had a neck buckle. It also has velcro to adjust to his body. The buckles where you clip the leash are larger, which is nice and easy to clip. Your standard dog leash will not fit around both clips though (you need a larger leash clip end). He wears this all day without itching or biting at it and we take it off him when he sleeps at night. TRUST ME, I did my research and this is the best harness out there. It doesn't cause him discomfort either, which is what I was looking for. He looks like he's wearing a little dog sweater too, so it's cute. Only complaint is it turns my puppy's white fur black, but it washes off with dog shampoo in a bath. (edited: My puppy's now 11 months and the harness is still in good shape! I have now stopped having him wear it all day and only use it to go outside now.)Dog Gigantic Wee Wee Pads

We have a geriatric cat who, from time to time, sleeps so soundly that he loses control of his bladder. Other than that there's nothing wrong with him. These pads have been a life saver for his little problem. The larger size makes it easier to cover the bed so that nothing ever gets onto the bedding itself. We also cover up the furniture with these. So glad we found these. They're large enough to absorb plenty of little accidents. We've already ordered another pack of these so that we won't run out. What a great buy.I've tried all brands of indoor potty pads. I have 5 indoor dogs, so potty pads are a necessary for us. Even though all my dogs are small, the other brands can only hold one or 2 uses before they spill out onto the floor. These are huge, very absorbent and work great. Overnight, my dogs can use it if they need to and some of them always need to. It doesn't leak out onto the floor, even if used 5 times.I bought these to use if I am going to be away more than a few hours since my youngest dog only weighs a little under four pounds she can't go as long as my slightly bigger dogs. I also take them with me to rental vacation places to use just in case she needs to go out while I am away sightseeing. They are great. They are so large since my dog is so small that if need be one could last several days before I would need to replace it.
