My only complaint is the clip is oddly large and heavier than most I've seen. It seems to smack her while we're running a more than normal and I wouldn't recommend this for a dog much under 30lbs.

Bil-Jac Gooberlicious Treats - 10 oz
Buy Bil-Jac Gooberlicious Treats - 10 oz Now
I have a 10 year old, rescued, toy poodle and apparently his previous owners taught him to beg for people food. I do not feed dogs people food but I feel so bad when he sits in the floor and begs while we eat dinner at the table. So I bought these to give him when he begs. He also has tooth issues, so I needed them to be soft. He liked it and wanted more, but he seems to like another one (of the same brand) better that is chicken liver flavored. My only issue is I paid 8 dollarsish for these on amazon and found them the day before my delivery arrived at Petsmart for less than $5. Will be purchasing there from now on.Read Best Reviews of Bil-Jac Gooberlicious Treats - 10 oz Here

Buy Pet Repeller Furniture Pad Sofa & Couch Mat Now
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.Read Best Reviews of Pet Repeller Furniture Pad Sofa & Couch Mat Here
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.Tuesday, April 22, 2014

Both my dogs hated them and they are really awkward to get them on/off their feet.

We bought this for our cat as we are going on a very long car trip, it's too big but it is a very nice carrier. The only thing I find confusing are the dimensions.On the label it states: 32 L x 22 W x 23 H
When I measure it I come up with 30 L x 18.5 W x 27 H (not including the edge around the door that makes it 33 L)
It is very tall, not sure what the confusion is about the height on the label.
Anyway, it is a very well made carrier however we will return it and get something smaller.I needed a carrier to take my cat to the vet. There was one that was a little cheaper, but my rather large cat needed a larger carrier. This arrived quickly (Amazon items always do), and was assembled in less than five minutes. It worked wonderfully, and was a great buy.

Blue Dog Bakery Natural Soft Dog Treats, Peanut Butter Flavor Softies, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
I have a 17 year old dog with a whole list of health problems... least of all is the fact that she has five teeth. She's now on a steady diet of canned soft dog food and tons of Blue Dog Bakery Natural Soft Dog Treats, Peanut Butter Flavor Softies, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6). After a LONG search for a treat that was actually soft (we had gotten into the habit of grinding other "soft" treats in the food processor because they weren't quite soft enough) we found these. These treats are fabulous.
First of all, my dog LOVES them. She may be blind and deaf, but she knows her way to her treat plate and gets up to check it about once every 30 minutes just to make sure we didn't leave any happy surprises for her. She can't get enough of these treats.
The reason why I love these treats, though, is because I no longer have to drag out the food processor to grind up other brand's so called "soft" treats! They easily break apart with your fingers and are soft enough for my dog to eat, probably even whole (she's a 17 lb dog, though, so we'll continue to break them up with our fingers!). Think fig newton. That soft. Think no longer having to wash the food processor. THAT HAPPY. :) Plus, they're much cheaper on amazon than at my local petsmart and I'm not spending any money on gas!
I guess the one "complaint" I have with these treats is that they look like real "people" food! When we first got these, my dad saw them in the (new) glass treat container and thought they were for people. However, he didn't think they were quite as delicious as my dog thinks they are... He said they were "a little chalky." I guess they weren't baked with his palate in mind!I have always given my standard poodles "cookies". They have never turned their noses up at any treats, but, their reaction to the Blue Dog biscuits was, and continues to be, extraordinary.
Their reaction to the Soft Treats convinces me that they must contain heroin. My wife gives them one each at bedtime. She has their undivided attention, while she gets ready for bed. The only downside is they tend to drool whilst waiting.My puppy LOVES these, and it is the best (healthy for him and tasty too!) for him. He also likes the peanut butter crunchy treats; I swear, they are the only reason he will "stay" when I leave the house!My dog, a German Shepherd, didn't think much of these. Her favorite treat, chicken jerky dog treats from a store that starts with "C" and ends with "ostco", she scarfs up very quickly and with real excitement & enjoyment. These Blue Dog treats she sniffs and won't take.
They do LOOK tasty to me though, to the point where I want to take a bite. Maybe I would like them more than my dog does.I have a young, healthy, athletic Boxer and he had diarrhea so bad he had accidents in the house 3 times and moped around for a whole day after I gave him some of these cut up in his Kong treat puzzle toy. Boxers can have touchy stomachs and he has had a touch of diarrhea before with a new treat but never anything like this. Even the time he got hold of some chicken wings it wasn't this bad. I recently purchased a carpet cleaner and was never so happy to have one on hand, I used it 2 times that night and once again in the morning. If your dog has any sensitivity introduce these slowly or just pass them up, there must be something in them that takes some getting used to.

Bravo! Premium Freeze-Dried Training Treats for Dogs, Buffalo Bites
P.S. The dogs (an Aussie and a border collie) love 'em!My dogs love these! Two of them are allergic almost everything; grains, cooked beef/lamb/chicken, and preservatives (especially soy). I only get 100% meat treats, either freeze-dried or dehydrated. These are great because I can carry around a bunch of them and they're already the perfect size for training, plus they weigh next to nothing. For three large dogs, I give out maybe 10-30 treats per day and this lasts me about a month. No strong odor, nothing that causes an allergic reaction have bought multiple times and will continue to buy.

I don't have to worry about my dog gaining weight, even with long daily training sessions, because these treats are very small and don't have anything in them but meat. But, even though they are small, my dog gets very motivated by them--apparently they are pretty tasty.Read Best Reviews of Bravo! Premium Freeze-Dried Training Treats for Dogs, Buffalo Bites Here
I use treats for obedience and agility classes. I need a treat that is not crunchy, but chewy and capable of breaking up into small bits. This product is already a perfect training treat size, so I do not have to spend time cutting the pieces into soy bean sized bits. Have yet to see them in action but I am sure my pup will love them.Want Bravo! Premium Freeze-Dried Training Treats for Dogs, Buffalo Bites Discount?

I bought this lead and the matching harness for my chiweenie. Both products are well made and I really appreciate how adjustable they are. When adjusting there is some difficulty in making the adjustment. This just means the fit stays the way you want it to. The set are attractive. I would by again......quality product.Great price, great quality, love that it is an adjustable length. The super soft handle loop is nice too, no more leash burns :)Friday, October 11, 2013

Black Medium Martingale Heavyduty Nylon Dog Collar
Buy Black Medium Martingale Heavyduty Nylon Dog Collar Now
I had never heard of a Martingale collar, but the animal rescue group from whom we just adopted our Airedale Terrier made it a requirement of the adoption process. I don't leave this collar on our Airedale all the time, but have it on his leash and use it every time I take him out. I really like it. It provides good control of the young energetic Airedale and seems better than the chain choke collar we used with our previous Airedale.Read Best Reviews of Black Medium Martingale Heavyduty Nylon Dog Collar Here
I have a total of three good-sized dogs and walk them together. I really like these collars, they've made the whole walking experience easier for me (and for the dogs). I had used the metal pinch collars to train two of my dogs, and these collars seem so much more humane. One of the two took to the nylon collar right away, the other one required a little more training but is now being a perfect lady on our walks without having to use the metal pinch collar. Also, the metal pinch collars don't slip around the neck as easily as these do. With three dogs, they sometimes change positions with each other while we're walking. Now the leashes don't wrap around their neck, the collar just slides and puts the leashes into the correct position. I'm glad I bought these.Want Black Medium Martingale Heavyduty Nylon Dog Collar Discount?
I have one of these already and now have two. They act like a mild choke, but the way they are designed it has a limit and a dog can never really be hurt by this if it is fit correctly. It is designed to fit snuggly over the head, but adjusts depending on the pressure put on it once it is around the neck. I have used this to tie up my dog outside when I am out working in the garden, as I am not afraid she'll choke herself if she gets caught around a tree. She has sometimes slipped out of my standard leather collar I have that she wears all the time with her rabies and ID tag. This also keeps her from pulling on the leash, although a standard choke chain works better than this one for more exact training. I find this is one of many useful tools all real dog people should have on-hand....And it is safe for even the not so educated dog owner.Saturday, August 17, 2013
SnugglePuppie, Black Lab
Buy SnugglePuppie, Black Lab Now
If the Snuggle Puppy isn't available in the color/breed you want, set those wishes aside. This isn't about you! Your new puppy isn't going to know the difference. We got the Dalmation (all that was available at the time) for our Goldendoodle puppy. He LOVES it. We dropped it off at the breeder the night before we picked up our puppy so that it would have the scent of Mom and siblings. Our puppy loves this toy....just remember to turn the heart off when not in use so you don't run the battery down. We've had our puppy for a week now, and he goes right to sleep. I just put him in his crate and he patiently waited for me to start the heart. Now he's resting with his head on his Snuggle Puppy. Totally worth the $$!Great idea but not sure if our new puppy responded to the heart beat or the heat. We forgot to turn off the heartbeat so of course of the battery died and we haven't replaced it. We also only used the warmer pouch once. Nevertheless, we do often find her sleeping on it in her crate like a pillow.We bought the Snuggle Puppy for our new 8 week old chocolate lab puppy. Had it for her first night home, it helped her to settle down that first night. Now it's her favorite toy she plays with it every day and takes it into her crate when we go out. Great purchase!SENSE-ation No-Pull Dog Harness - Purple
But after using this harness (in conjunction with obedience training) success! She now walks beautifully.
I've also noticed that when/if I use her collar (for those quick potty breaks in the middle of the night) she still is trained to not pull.
CON (which prevented me giving this product the five stars):
It's super easy to accidentally pinch her skin when putting on or taking off the harness. It also doesn't help that the clasp part is in an awkward position (under the armpit) and is sometimes "temperamental". For a few weeks, she would run away from me when she saw the harness come out (even with chicken liver present!). I've had to seriously work/train/condition/make it fun to have the harness put on. To this day, I still present treats before, during and after snapping the harness on.I bought my first sense-ation no-pull soft-touch harness back when the company first started. I have bought one for each of my dogs over the years. None have ever worn down or broken and I use them every other day all year long hiking up the mountain out back. In the snow too. I can't speak highly enough about this product. My first two have been through multiple dogs. They deserve a ten!!
Buy SENSE-ation No-Pull Dog Harness - Purple Now
I got this for my 5 month old ridgeback puppy because of how hard she was pulling on her collar I was worried about her hurting herself. =(The harness works great. There is an upper limit to how hard she can pull (important when she's already 55lb and I'm 100lb) before the harness trips her. It took me a couple weeks of adjusting the fit before it stopped chafing her armpits, but now she wears it all day without any irritation. Very sturdy design too; despite how strong my pup is and how big she is going to get, I am not worried about her being able to break it in the slightest.
Overall: super effective in helping me train my puppy to stop pulling as well as stops her from being able to put all of her weight and strength into pulling me in emergency situations (assuming it is fitted properly and you are paying attention).

We ordered this collar and leash to help keep our Labradoodle from pulling. We are working her slowly up to longer walks, but so far the head collar has helped immensely. She is not able to pull when on the leash. It will take some getting used to on her part as she is currently trying to swipe the nope piece off with her paws.Pros
Works as advertised
Easy to fit when follow the insert or dvd
Sizing and length of leash and collar good

I had gone through about seven different products trying to walk our bullmastiff. I have bursitis in both shoulders and we would both hurt for two to three days after every walk (my shoulders, his neck or chest where he pulled on collars and harnesses). He never grew to like this thing, but he did understand that putting it on meant going out so he tolerated it. I was finally able to walk him without feeling like I was being drawn and quartered--no mean feat with a 120+ pound dog with bad leash habits. Also, he could still pant, eat treats, and drink with the collar on, so if he fought me when we got home it wasn't an emergency if I couldn't take it off right away (as it had been with a muzzle we tried). He was incredibly dog-aggressive and did not like strangers, so control was VERY important to us, and this collar enabled me to take him on walks, to the vet, and to the groomer without any drama. I am getting a new one for our spastic lab puppy now.Thursday, July 18, 2013

i really love this collar so far...i havent had it long but so far am very satisfied...bright, vibrant color and thick quality chain...looks great on my bullysRead Best Reviews of Steel Coated Dog Collar in Corona Lime Here
I initially ordered this one size smaller and the quality was great. Reordered 1 size larger and a total of 5 of this type in different sizes and colors. Paint quality was not great. On 3 of them the paint must not have dried before they put it in the plastic hangers, as those three had very sharp paint edges sticking up. The colors are all beautiful (I ordered electric blue, candy apple red, bubble gum pink, purple, and lime green.) What a shame there isn't better quality control on this product. Incidently, as the length goes up; the the links are larger and much heavier. The 20 inch collar I bought is actually quite heavy a little too heavy, I think, for the gentler breeds
