Mendota Products Training Tab

Mendota Products Training Tab, Orange, 3/8 x 16-InchBut got not orange. Oh well, still works for holding on to the dog. As the product goes, I do like having the short lead to grab when getting my pup in and out of the truck. Just wish I would have gotten what I ordered.

Tinkle Belts (SIZE XXS 7-10" Waist)

Tinkle BeltsI ordered this for one of my Chihuahuas who weighs 3 pounds, 8 ounces. It fit him perfectly. The product is well made and has a very secure velcro closure. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and doesn't slip or move around. I just ordered a second one so I'll be able to always have a clean one. I use panty liners (cut in half) to line the tinkle belt and cut down on when it has to be washed. Because the XXS are SO tiny, the company even included an extra Tinkle Belt in the XS size to make sure I had one that would fit my dog, said to donate the one that didn't fit to the Humane Society. How awesome is that?! THAT is customer service!

This is a very well made product and I would very highly recommend it to anyone who has a pet with a "Tinkle" problem. It fits very nicely, washes well and is of good quality. The customer service with this company is excellent. I would recommend this company over and over and have. V From New Mexico

This works perfectly, and the people are wonderfully easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend this to anyone whose dog has "accidents"

First, I bought this one because it was suppose to fit my male chihuahua who measures just shy of 10 inches around the waiste. However, I placed a urine pad on the inside of the belt, and it no longer fit around his waste. So, buy a size larger which I did and the larger size is great! Bought two more.

I ordered the Tinkle Belt for my Yorkie mix that has severe marking issue. I had tried about a dozen different things to resolve the issue and had not seen any improvement. The Tinkle Belt has been a saving grace! I no longer worry about my carpet and furniture and I can take him into other people's homes without the anxiety that he is going to spray. My dog is completely comfortable in the Tinkle Belt and does not dig or chew at it while he wheres it. The Tinkle Belt is easy to throw in the was and has held up through several loads. I also use a women's maxi pad for added protection while I am at work, and it works very well for extra absorbency. In short, the Tinkle Belt has relieved all my frustrations with my pup!

SportDOG Orange Check Cord, 30-Foot

SportDOG Orange Check Cord, 30-Footgreat lead, great quality, very happy, would recomend, only draw back is no handle/loop for the hand but not a big deal

This item is strong and very lightweight.

I use it for a tie-out for my terrier who loves to run around. Because I live in a community that does not allow fencing it is perfect for when we are not walking on a leash.

I am still using the check cord even after my vizsla chewed on it a bit. It has weathered being outside day and night for the last 8 months and would recommend it.

Pet Greens Treats Jerky-Style Dog Treats

Pet Greens Treats Roasted Chicken Jerky-Style Dog TreatsMy dog is 16 now and has always been a finicky eater, it has always been hard to find things she likes, but these are one of her favorites! They are also so healthy. She has also always had itchy skin in the late summer to fall, I found these treats last fall and this past summer her skin was so much better, hardly any itching. I would recommend them. Be sure to read the directions though, the amount you give your dog is recommended by their weight. They are also good for dogs if they tend to eat grass.

My wife and I share our home with the Three Muske-Terriers: A male Westie, a male Cesky and, the Empress-of-All-She-Surveys, a female Scotty. The Empress is alergic to wheat, (along with corn and soy), so I had my doubts concerning Pet Greens Roasted Chicken Recipe w/ Wheat Grass Dog Treats wheat grass after all is just "juvenile" wheat. But apparently not to worry! We're half way through our first bag and no allergic reaction, (you haven't lived until you've seen a crazed Scotty in the middle of an allergic frenzy chewing on her tootsies). Now, putting aside her allergies, the Empress will eat almost anything and so will the Cesky. But the Westie gives new meaning to the term "finicky" and Asta gives these treats five barks I mean, stars. So what's up here?

The treats are mostly roasted chicken meal, supplemented with dried chicory extract, organic ground wheat grass powder, lecithin, salt, cultured whey and garlic, preserved with "mixed tocopherols," (I'm not a chemist, but I think that's a fancy name for vitamin E, sourced from vegetable oil). The wheat grass doesn't contain any wheat glutten which I think is the reason it doesn't trigger the Empress' allergies. Wheat grass is an excellent source of any and all of the nutrients contained in fresh vegetables.

The treats are small "jerky-like" rectangles no more than an inch by 3/4s of an inch, and maybe 1/16 of an inch thick, (they may be more appropriate for small to medium size dogs a large dog would want three or four at a time). They're great for a quick reward and at only about 4 calories a piece, there's not much danger that your dog is going to put on unwanted pounds, (however I wouldn't suggest that you carry them loose in your pocket or purse they smell strongly of garlic I keep 'em in a zip lock baggie).

As far as I can tell, the ingrediants are all natural, but only the wheat grass is organic if you are interested in organic treats, I suggest that you check out those made by Wagatha or Robbie Dawg.

Bottom Line: I think that Pet Greens offers both a change of flavor and a change in texture from most common dog treats. The Three Muske-Terriers are scarfing 'em down your furry buddy probably will too.

I was looking for a product that is not made in China, contains mostly meat and does without a long list of unhealthy ingredients. Having older rescued dogs with very few teeth, the treats also needed to be soft enough for them to chew. Pet Greens Treats fulfilled all of these requirements. The dogs aren't crazy about them, but will eat them. With all the dubious treats coming from China, this is a good choice.

It took my dogs a minute the very first time I gave them these. But after they sniffed it for the first time and ate it. They were hooked. Now if my dog even sees the bag he starts drooling. They just love them! I just wish they were a little more affordable...

Pet Repeller Furniture Pad Sofa & Couch Mat

Pet Repeller Furniture Pad Sofa & Couch MatMaybe my cat is just insane, but he LOVES this thing and he lays on it, plays on it, and gets underneath it like a blanket, which is quite the opposite of what it is meant to do.

My cats stay off my furniture when this is on. It is the fist deterrent that has really worked. I have a cat that likes to urinate on my sofa when I'm asleep. So this works great!

So far so good, I have been looking for something (anything) that will keep my two cats off my couch before my girlfriend kills me (jk of course) and this seems to be doing the trick. I think I'll buy another for the my table top since it's not couch shaped, that's one of my cats favorite places and it drives me nuts. I really like it and only time will tell if it'll keep them off forever.

This was the best buy for my sofa. My little puppy starting peeing on my new sofa and we couldn't stop this habit until we got this sofa cover. He doesn't jump on it anymore. He simply just doesn't want to walk on it. Great product!!!! Works!

Been looking for a product to keep my dog off the couch without causing her pain (e.g. plastic mats with spikes or mouse traps). I was skeptical, but this made sense, was very inexpensive and ended up working like a charm! She now stays in her cute doggie bed. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to keep pets off the furniture.

Holistic Select Holistix Dog Biscuits, 1-Pound Bag

Holistic Select Holistix Chicken and Barley Dog Biscuits, 1-Pound BagWe switched over to all Holistic dog food products after our 12 yr old mixed breed started itching,scratching,shedding and losing weight. I can't say enough good things about the Holistic Select products. Our dog has never been healthier or happier, no more scratching or shedding! I highly recommend their products.

I am a regular purchaser of the Holistic Select dog snacks, but saw these biscuits when I ordered last and decided to give them a try. All four of my japanese chin loved these treats, though they still seem to go more wild for the regular dog treats. I can cut the dog treats into smaller pieces, while the biscuits tend to crumble more if I try to cut them to smaller portions. However, these seem to have more teeth cleaning ability than the regular treats. I am happy with this purchase and will definitely keep them on hand as an alternative snack!

These are the only treats our german shepherds get. Our male has allergies to beef, chicken , lamb and who knows what else. This fish based product works great, and they love them. They are a little pricey. A dollar or so less and it would be a 5 star.

I like to feed my dog healthy stuff but one dog trainer wanted me to bring "high currency" treats so I bought some hot dogs and Daisy certainly enjoyed them.

However, she actually goes nuts over the Holistix way more than she ever did for hot dogs and I'm happier feeding them to her. And they're not so stinky to carry around, and not perishable either.

Daisy is about 14 pounds and I break the Holistix into 3 or 4 pieces. It's a little crumby but that way she gets several treats over the course of the day. I use these to help motivate her not to bark at dogs that we pass on our walk. When I mention "treat" she starts dancing on her hind legs walking backwards sometimes half a block in anticipation of one little morsel of Holistix!

I have been buying the Whitefish, Cranberries, Apples, and Blueberries variety. I think we tried another variety once and it was OK but mostly I've just stuck with these. On amazon they are listed as "Menhaden Fish Meal." That is what is listed as the fourth ingredient right before "whitefish." I knew it was the right item by the blue label area and the picture of the bag. Previously I had bought them elsewhere.

These are not cheap but if you break them up like I do and ration them out, as you should with all treats, a bag lasts quite a while.

Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Teal/Blue

Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Teal/BlueI don't think it helped absorb the shock of pulling so much with my dog. However, I also think if you are getting this for a dog that is a strong puller you need to go with the shorter leash. I love the quality and durability of this leash!

Neem Bug Repellent Spray 8 oz. 8 Ounces

Neem Bug Repellent Spray 8 oz. 8 OuncesMy dog had some fleas crawling on her so I decided, with some hesitation, to use Frontline. Unfortunately, it did not seem to have much of an effect. I have noticed that the efficacy of the spot-ons (Frontline and Advantage) has declined over the years...

So, I found this Ark Naturals product Neem "Protect" Spray and decided to give it a try. Since it recommends that you use the shampoo in conjunction, I got a bottle of that too. My dog was bathed with the shampoo, rinsed thoroughly and sprayed with the neem solution. The product was quite effective since my dog pretty much stopped itching like a maniac by the next day. However, I feel terrible because it is possible that she had a really bad allergic reaction due to the product. Within the next 24 hours, she seemed bothered by the smell, refused to sit on a blanket that was sprayed and her eyes became runny and swelled completely shut.

Again, my dog was already allergic to dust and storage mites so I suppose that the possibility that this would happen was higher than in a dog with no known allergies. Although I enjoy some of the other Ark Naturals products and their quality, I just wanted to post this so pet owners would proceed with caution. It is probably a fine product if your animal is not bothered by it but just make sure to do a little test before a complete treatment. Be warned that it has a very strong citronella-like odor that may be unpleasant to some.

It definitely helps repel the ticks.

I took my 3 dogs out here in NJ for a walk down a road 2 nights ago, and only one had the Neem spray on (from a previous training session).

Of the three, she was the only dog that had zero ticks when we got home.

My dogs are short coated with white hair so it is fairly easy to visualize the ticks.

It does come off once they go in a pool or water, so you do need to reaply if going out to a field or roadside walk..

I have used Neem spray on my dogs and myself. It will protect against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

I have used to heal sores and small irritations.

I have found it to be a natural, quality product.

I used the shampoo a week ago. I had no problems with the odor. I used the spray right before we were going to go on a walk. My yorkies are tick magnets. I didn't find one bug on them after coming out of the woods. Maybe it was a lucky day or maybe it was the product, but I find that when I use neem products, they never come back with anything. However, the smell just about killed me. I didn't realize it had citronella in it. I have bad allergies and am sensitive to smells. Certain strong smells give me headaches. My nose is filled up today (a day later) and I have another headache. I'll use it again because I bought it and dont' want to waste it, but I'll wash them right after so that they aren't sleeping with me with the smell on them. This is a good company. I have liked the products I have purchased from them.

The product seemed to be working great but It gave me a little allergy so I make sure to spray her outside and then take her for a walk untill the scent isnt so strong. The problem I have with the product is that I noticed my dog started getting small bumps all over her like hives. She has never had allergies to anything so I think it could be this product. We are using it in conjunction with the neem shampoo. Also she still gets one or two fleas when using the product but anything is better than using those drugs or pesticides on her! Unfortuanatley I will have to find a different product since my dog and me seem to be allergic to this!

I called the ark naturals customer service and they said they have a new prod. called flea flicker tick kicker so I'll try that. They suggested that the neem oil might cause an allergic reaction and the new prod. doesnt have it. very nice customer service.

Hartz Antibacterial Training Pads for Small and Medium Dogs

Hartz Antibacterial Training Pads for Small and Medium Dogs, 50 PadsI have tried about every pee pad I could find and they all were horrible except this one. These soak up the pee fast. They are kind of quilted that way there is not a thin top layer that the dogs rip up. I have a 5 month old Jack Russell and they work great in her kennel. If you have a big dog that pee's a lot I don't know how they would work. These are the best pee pads out there. I have tried them all! I would buy these again and recommend to friends!

In the spring when we have almost daily rainfall these pads are great helpers for our little dog. He refused to go out in the rain with me for a walk when I have an umbrella. The pads are great for emergency uses. They dry fast and have no odor. Conducted my own preference test using several different brands of wee wee pads and the Hartz pads won, paws down.

C Nyl Check Choke Adj Training Collar Sm BlkI've used this collar with two puppies now and it has held up. Great for training. Doesn't pinch the dog's neck which makes it perfect for getting puppies used to leash training. More gentle than a traditional chain-link choke collar.

WACKYwalk'r Dog Leash - Large - Red

WACKYwalk'r Dog Leash - Large - RedIf your dog is strong and a puller, like mine, this leash is a godsend. It stretches as the dog pulls and diminishes the stress on your leash-holding arm, shoulder, and back. Additionally, if the dog suddenly lurches forward, the leash acts as a shock absorber to minimize the impact on you. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to protect their bodies from their dog's unintentional damage.

Simple Solution Stain & Odor Remover Gallon

Simple Solution Stain & Odor Remover GallonThis is without a doubt the best on the market. You spray this on the carpet, furniture, where ever they have an "accident" and it goes away. Absolutely goes away. Leaves no stain, no odor. It's a miracle. For new puppies, old dogs, it works better than anything I've ever seen. And it smells good.It is the most amazing thing I've ever used. If I could give it ten stars I would.

We have 2 cats and 4 dogs 2 of them are puppies. Accidents tend to happen (or the cat finds a corner it likes and totals it.) Dab up as much as you can first then apply and let sit for 10 min and dab it up again and the odor never comes back. This isn't very effective with old stains however (I haven't found anything that is.) So if you get on top of it as soon as you can (when it's still wet) then you have a fighting chance. If it has time to set you're basically SOL. I've tried a number of different products on the market, Hoover Pet Shampoo for carpet cleaners, which works okay but can leave soap residue trapping the pet mess in the carpet if you don't extract enough of it, the brushes of the carpet machine can also 'grind' it further into the carpeting. I've tried Natures Miracle with limited (read 'no') success. This is the only thing that I've found that works 100% and doesn't leave anything to 'encourage' them to go in the same place. I can also put it in the carpet cleaner and can do large areas if I need to.

Great product, and fairly inexpensive and the only thing we will use in the house from now on.
