Litter Champ Refill

Litter Champ 3-Pack Refill, GreenI read about the intense odor these bags have and I was VERY hesitant to order the Litter Champ. I had free shipping so I gave it a whirl. There is a VERY faint smell to the bags and it's nearly undetectable once the bag is opened and installed.

This system is BY FAR, hands down, easier to use than the Litter Locker.

We have a brood of cats and it's been a blessed addition and replacement to the litter locker. The Litter Locker is great -but it requires more work to operate -turning a crank and hoping the bags stay on the wheel...instead of falling off and jamming the unit.

(bought my litter champ on Petco it's $29 )

We're ordering a second Litter Champ!

I'm sensitive to fragrance in things and I can honestly say these bags didn't bother me at all. Happy with my purchase.

As luck would have it, the opening in the top of the Litter Champ is exactly the size of the waste removal tray of the Omega Paw Roll Away litter box. The result is that I never have to use the scoop that comes with the Litter Champ, I just step on the pedal to open it and dump the "deliveries" in.

Love that! I use very small electrical ties, which are very inexpensive, to tie off the bag before I cut it off in the bag cutter. The bag cutter is another nice feature of the Litter Champ. I have 3 cats who all use the box and I refresh the bag twice weekly. The Litter Champ completely locks away the odor. The quality of the unit is tops as well. I use one in my bathroom too because my dog loves to examine the bathroom trash when I'm not home. The Litter Champ locks.... enough said about that. Get one; they are worth the price.

I have used this product for over 10 years. These refills fit into the Litter Champ hamper for feline waste. It definitely does the job and removes the obnoxious odors from the litter box. The only difficult thing to deal with in regard to these liners is the overpowering odor of the refills! If you can hold your breath, they're great! They are like the deodorizers in the restaurant bathrooms. Sometimes their odors are worse than those they are intended to mask. Breathe On!

The product is good, but if you ever need customer service from Lucky Champ who makes the Litter Champ liners, you will probably be very unhappy. They do not return phone calls or emails. I ordered liners directly from the company and never received them. They simply will not return any of my calls or respond to any of my emails after I informed them that my product was never delivered. My order shipped on Nov 15th, today is Dec 6th. I have been trying almost everyday to get someone at Lucky Champ to call or email me. No luck. This type of customer service should not exist in any company, large or small. I am astonished to be treated so poorly.

I was using the plastic shopping bags for disposal, but I wanted to find something easier on the environment. I love this product and have found a little "plastic saving" tip. The refills were only lasting 3 weeks for 2 cats (cleaning box once a day) so I started using a twist tie at the bottom instead of tying it in a knot. It is adding at least a week onto each refill.

SOFA SCRAM MAT

SOFA SCRAM MATMy husband and I were looking for a way to keep our cat off the couch and another chair in our living room because she'd taken to urinating on both. This is the only product that worked in keeping her off the furniture. Its genius is its simplicity: no chemicals, no electric shock, no gates, no behavior therapy. Just a pad with a loud sonic alarm. We've purchased two in 6 months -it has saved our furniture. And it's one of the most affordable options in pet deterrents out there.

The pads have actually altered our cat's behavior. After a few weeks we were able to remove them from the furniture and the cat still stays away. If we make any changes in the home (move the location of the litter box, rearrange the furniture, change litter brands, go on vacation), we reintroduce the Sofa Scram for a week.

We used the first Scram on the couch and were able to hide it zippered inside the long couch seat cushion. We were a bit concerned that the cat might learn to step around the Scram we placed on the chair because it was visible, but no -she was not that smart. Cats jump onto the furniture, they hear the alarm, they run.

I love it.



This product is almost like the heart of a smoke detector except instead of detecting smoke it goes off when there's pressure on the mat. You can see the 9V in the video and hear the beep is somewhat similar (but monotone). You can also see it takes a little more pressure to set off on a plush cushion but there's no way a pet could lay on it without it going off.

I've also used ours on a deep picture window sill and it keeps the dog from jumping his front feet on that when neighbors are out (german shepherd likes to keep tabs on everyone!)

One of our dogs isn't terribly scared of the sound but doesn't want to set the mat off. The other dog doesn't want to be anywhere near it. Neither dog wants to lay on the couch with this thing on though so it's effective for both.

UPDATE: We are dog-sitting my sister's 14 year old black lab while they move and have a baby. This old, old dog has lost much of his hearing and the noise doesn't seem to bother him at all. It is alerting us when he gets on the couch which makes it easier to train him to stay off it (while we're home) but is not acting as a deterrent the way it does with our own two dogs.

I originally purchased the Sofa Scram Mat to keep my dogs off my furniture. It also keeps the cats off. It is very sturdy and easy to use. I highly recommend it. Thanks.

This works great to keep the pets off the couch. Once it stopped working, I took it apart to find out why. The small wires that connect the 2 foil pads together break from rolling up he mat for storage. So, if you plan on rolling it up a lot, plan on it breaking due to wire fatigue. If you plan on keeping it unrolled, should work forever.

I have 2 English Matiff's. They are HUGE! My male thinks he can do what ever he wants. Hard to argue with a 200 lb dog! This mat is perfect and works. My concern was I thought once he got on the couch that the buzz (and it's LOUD!) would stop but I was wrong. As long as their is pressure on the mat it screaches! Very thin so when I come home, I turn it off, fold it and slide it under the furniture.

Richell Paw Trax Pet Training Pads, Large, 30 Count

Richell  Paw Trax Pet Training Pads, Large, 30 CountI love this product. It does keep my dogs' paws dry. However, Amazon's price is 30 counts for $18.99, while Target has it for $19.99 for 50 counts. I would only purchase it from Amazon if they start selling the 50 counts instead of the 30 counts and match Target's price.

After contacting the company to see where these might be carried locally, (there are none), and paying postage and handling, which made these pretty expensive puppy pads, I am very disenchanted. They leak just like the Outs from Wal-mart. I would not order again, and their claim that they're filled with gel and can hold quarts of liquid, I seriously doubt.

These are the best puppy potty pads available. I have three small puppies who love to potty. I have tried every pad (including those made of faux grass) on which I can get my hands -all in an effort to keep the potty from getting on the pups' paws and trod around my house. While even these pads cannot stop the pups from standing in the puddle they create as they pause to wet, these pads do the best job keeping the business from pooling on the surface. The pups get more uses out of these pads than any other.

Fashion Pet Blue Pawz Dog Sweater Small

Fashion Pet Blue Pawz Dog Sweater SmallWanted a sweater that was in my daughter's school colors. It was perfect, unfortunately too small. Returned it with no problems at all and seller refunded postage as well, which was unexpected but certainly appreciated. Dog's measurement s were right between sizes and should have gone with the next larger size.

Nice and warm and the dogs loves it. He'll go outside when it's cold now and doesn't come back in shivering.

KAZE Extra Large (36x23 in) Housebreaking Pads for Puppies and Dogs

KAZE Dry Floor Protection and Training Pads for Puppies and Dogs - 100 count Extra Large 36'x23' PadsI have 2 Chihuahua do their business indoors and I've been searching for absorbent and not too expensive dog pads for a long time. The cheaper priced pads are normally very thin, leak, and the urine spread all over and wasteful in the end. These pads are absorbent yet the pee doesn't spread as the other brands. It's easier for me to clean up. The price is reasonable too. Totally worth it. You won't be disappointed. I don't. I highly recommend this.

The products say it, "For all your pets needs". Excellent products. save my time cleaning and will sure buy it again

I love this training pads. It sbsorbs so well. No leaking! Good value for 100 counts with extra large size. I used alot of different brand before but this is the best one.

I read the reviews before I bought them. A previous review was accurate, this company uses a picture that looks very much like the Simple Solution extra large and gives you the impression that these are similar and may be the same company. They do not come in the packaging pictured on the Amazon site.

The pads themselves are very thin. For small dogs and puppies, they are adequate, but I wouldn't recommend them for medium or larger dogs.

They have the unattractive blue lining that I do not prefer. Simple Solution pads are a pale beige and so don't look so unattractive in rooms used by people.

Positive aspects: they are significantly less expensive than Simple Solution extra large pads. I prefer the Simple Solution extra large, but they are pricey.

On a positive note: They are longer and narrower so may fit in certain areas better than a square pad.

If you have a kennel and/or change pads frequently these are a good value. The Simple Solution pads are thicker and have less of a a kennel look due to the pale beige color of the lining.

If you travel with your dog and need to take along pads and will be changing them frequently, again, the value is good and I may buy them again for travel and occasional use.

Grriggles Plush Fuzzy Flyers Dog Toy, Chipmunk, 8-Inch

Grriggles Plush Fuzzy Flyers Dog Toy, Chipmunk, 8-InchMy dog loved this initially, but the rope part broke apart in minutes. I was able to surgically remove it, and my dog still plays witht he animal part.

I didn't get this for it's Frizbee effect. I knew it wouldn't fly well, and it doesn't. But, it's fun for short throws that allow it to be grabbed and flung, side to side, or tossed and caught. Nice squeaker also.

If the price is right, you can't go wrong. It's a good toy to use for a little diversion from their regular playthings. And it seems to stand up to two critters, pulling on either side in a tug of war.

Plush Dog Mat

Slumber Pet Plush Crate Dog Mat, Medium, 23-Inch, GrayIt looks like it's made well, the stiching looks strong, but my dogs are not chewers. BUT-It's not really a "mat" more of a very thick blanket. I was expecting something that the dogs couldn't easily push aside while in their crates. It says it's "filled" but from what I can feel it isn't filled very much. I got these to put inside the crates in the van as we travel to dog shows quite a bit and I wanted my dogs to have something to lay on for long trips, but like I wrote before, it's more of a blanket in that it's so flimsy and can be easily bunched up and pushed aside by the dogs, it even gets bunched up when my dogs just walk in the crate and turn around. I have other crate mats that are only an inch thick but they cannot be pushed to one side by the dogs, and they cost a lot less money (I bought those at dog shows years ago and too bad they're not sold anymore). I think for the price, these slumber pet plush mats are much too flimsy, and really shouldn't be called "mats".

Unfortunately, the mats arrived and although nice quality, were not what we were looking for. Upon e-mailing the company for return information on March 2, I have yet to receive a response (now March 12). I have now e-mailed a follow up note...will see what that brings. Right now, I would only order this product if you are POSITIVE you won't need to return it.

This is a good plush comfortable crate mat like it states. Emphasis on plush. For a Crate Mat. I use it next to my bed for my service dog. He likes it. X-Large is to small for my GSD. The XX-Large is actually priced cheaper than the X-Large. Very nice made product.

Pet Guard Herbal Dog Collar (Pack of 6)

Pet Guard Herbal Dog CollarI have struggled for years to find an effective flea treatment that didn't cause a toxic reaction (skin or in general) with my dogs and cat. Topical treatments worked, but often caused their coats to shed where applied and/or hot spots to appear in other areas. Oral medications were well tolerated, but very expensive and sometimes they have to be obtained from a vet (often requiring a vet check and thus an additional expense). The Pet Guard Natural Dog collars eliminated any fleas quickly and repelled ticks when we were in some heavily tick infested back country, as well an added benefit is their effectiveness seemed to last quite a bit longer than most toxic flea collars. I actually enjoy the scent and don't have to worry about any adverse side effects. I recommend these highly to friends and family...they're that good.Pet Guard Herbal Dog Collar (Pack of 6)Pet Guard Herbal Cat Collar (Pack of 6)

I bought this product only because it advertised it as natural/herbal and not chemical. True indeed, but the oils they use can be just as harmful, if not worse. I bought this for my two puppies. One of them became sick overnight from an allergic reaction. I also did some research right after and learned that the main ingredient, Pennyroyal Oil, is toxic and can be fatal if ingested. It was also once used as an abortifacient, so I wouldn't recommend pregnant women being exposed to it. You may be wondering if this product works? I asked a veterinarian today if herbal collars work mentioning this brand in particular. He claimed that these collars do not work and are commercialized and a waste of money.

I tried to make a return through Amazon, but unfortunately it is not covered under the return policy. Please look elsewhere...you'll be glad you did.

Other notes: I tried to find other reviews online regarding this product and didn't find too many. I did find two different pet websites with the exact same reviews. Looks like some employee from Petguard is making up reviews for the company to make it look good. Now that is pathetic.

Update 10/23/09:

After telling Amazon about my experience, they refunded my money in full! Thank you Amazon.

Dog Gigantic Wee Wee Pads

Four Paws Gigantic Wee-Wee Pads, 27.5-Inch by 44-Inch, 18-PackI used to use this just for my great dane, which is a giant dog, if you don't know, but now that I have kids and the dog has passed away and I still have these giant wee wee pads left, I line my baby's play pen with them and let him be naked in there. Clean up is easy peasy!

I love this brand of pet pads, but to come up with this size is GREAT! I use less of them and also for my dog who can't quite decide where to pee until the last moment always hits the pad. YAHOO

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.
