ValuePad 448 23x24 28 gram Bonus Pack Puppy Pads

ValuePad 448 23x24 28 gram Bonus Pack Puppy PadsGreat Pads for a great price! The puppies are happy their paws are not wet and I'm happy the floor is not wet. This vendor I highly recommend. My "Bonus" was getting pads that really worked! I'll buy these from now on!

These pads are wonderful. I purchased seconds from another company for years but these are much better quality & they arrive in a timely manner. My dogs have been litter box trained since puppies and use these pads in litter box as they are basic indoor dogs.

These pads are on the thin side and i have to change them more often. Sometimes i come home from work late and the pad is really full, but i have never seen it leak through. So they are ok for what you pay for them.

Absorbs well, big enough for my 70lb pit bull. My sister use it when changing her baby's diaper. Good buy!

This is a much thinner pad than I was purchasing before. These will work OK but I will buy the other ones next time. For the price this will work for the time being. Thanks

Quick Fit Dog Muzzle

Quick Fit Dog Muzzle, Size 1For the price, I am very satisfied with this product. This product fits my boxer very well, which is hard to find for their short snouts. His snout was exactly 10 1/2" as is recommended for this product. He has not been able to get it off, although he has not tried very hard to get it off yet. If you get this for your dog, I would recommend that you view and follow the training tips on the video on youtube called "conditioning your dog to wear a muzzle." This method works well for teaching dogs to wear any type of muzzle.

I bought this muzzle because my dog has a nervous aggression around people and other dogs. I have not tested it out with other dogs yet, but it has worked well at preventing him from nipping at people. To my suprise, it has actually calmed him down around new people. We have been doing training with him to expose him to more people, but he has still been very nervous and has occassionally nipped at our helpers. After using the muzzle to train him we were still able to let our guests give him small treats for his training, and without the fear that he would bite them. He has not even attempted to bite at our guests since we got the muzzle. Another advantage is that he is not able to bark when they come over when he is wearing this.

The only thing I was intially worried about with the muzzle was the seams on the inside of the muzzle. I was afraid that it would rub on my dogs snout and rub it raw. Thus far it has not, but the longest that we have left the muzzle on him is about twenty minutes. I would not recommend leaving this product on long term as it does not allow the dog to open his mouth wide enough to pant very well. But he is able to drink and eat small treats with it on.

Overall, I would recommend this product to someone if they are using it to restrain their dog from biting or barking for short amounts of time. For a dog that needs to wear it for longer amounts of time or will need to pant to keep cool, I would recommend looking into getting a basket muzzle that will allow the dog to pant more freely.

Update: I've had this product for a while now (2-3 years?). It is holding up great! There are no tears or problems with it at all. I have noticed, especially when it is warm outside, it tends to get quite itchy on my dog. He will rub his face on the ground to try to itch under the muzzle and it does cause some redness around his snout from rubbing his face on the ground. Overall, I am still very happy with this purchase and it has brought a lot of peace of mind to us with our dog who still occassionally needs to wear his muzzle. Since Amazon won't let me enter a webpage link, try searching "Four Paws Quick Fit Muzzle Sizing Chart" in a search engine. The first link pulled up a sizing chart on the fourpaws website. Make sure to measure around your dogs snout at the widest area up by its eyes.

I'm not sure what to rate this... I never got to use it... I was seeking a good priced (cheaper than the stores) non-mesh muzzle and this one was great and even w/ shipping it was still a dollar or so less than the local pet stores. The pet stores by my house offer the mesh muzzle in S,M,L sizes... My dogs fit the medium muzzles (one 50 and one 80 pounder) but I felt the mesh might snag on their nails if they started pawing to get it off. I could not find how to figure out what size to get for my dog as these muzzles are in numbers. I searched the internet and felt the size 2 would be good for my 50 pounder. When I received the muzzle, it was waaay too small. I called the vendor and she was very nice but I could not return the muzzle as I would have had to pay for shipping it back to her and then shipping the new one to me. With all the shipping costs, it wasn't worth the return/exchange... I ended up keeping the muzzle and will donate it to someone or some place who could really use it. My advice is to call a vendor to get educated on measuring your dog's nose/mouth/head so the vendor can help you select the best fit before ordering.

Bought the size 5 for my 70 lbs shepherd/lab mix with nose circumference of 10 inches. Fit perfectly. Keeps him from getting fresh with unknown visitors and makes it very easy to clip his nails. As if he knows his "weapon" has been deactivated.

I have a 17 month old rottweiler. I decided to purchase this and carry it just in case I need to use it while taking him out in the public. It is light weight and you can pack it away anywhere. It fits great on him and it is fast and easy to use. Haven't had a problem with the muzzle coming off. The muzzle seems like it will last and not fall apart which is great considering it is not the higher end, more expensive muzzles you see at the pet stores.

I had previously bought a Size 1 in another brand. It was too small. #3 was too big.

When I decided on getting the #1 Quick Fit Dog Muzzle, it was because I thought it may fit.

It fits pretty well. I had to put it on the tightest setting, but then it works.

It took my dog about 10 minutes to stop trying to take it off. Then he was finally good with it on.

This is a well-made muzzle and I would recommend it. But know your dog's size so you won't end up with 3 muzzles.

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Giraffe Print

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Giraffe Printvery happy with product just as described and works very well in training our puppy quick delivery as well

We bought these to teach our white german shepherd, Mojo, to ring them when he needed to go outside. He picked up the trick really quickly, and the bells are long enough so he can smack it with his paw or bump it with his nose.

Pish Pad

Pish PadI have been using Pish Pads for my puppies and show dogs since 2005. I bought a 5 yd. roll and cut it into pieces. I am still using the original roll and have since bought a second roll. They have been washed over and over again and still look as good as the day I bought them. I hang them outdoors to dry and when weather prohibits, I throw them in the dryer. I also use bleach occassionally (although not recommended) and they haven't faded at all. I have tried many of the training pads available and none of them are comparable to the Pish Pad. I was frustrated with other training pads that my puppies would drag around the room or worse yet, shred to pieces. Thanks to the 'stay-put' backing, the Pish Pad stays in one place. The 3 layer construction allows the urine to be quickly absorbed and yet the middle layer keeps it from leaking through and onto the floor. While the initial purchase was pricey, over time they have more than paid for themselves. I did hear someone complain of experiencing them separating, so when I cut them, I stiched all the way around them. Not one of mine has any edges that are separated. If you're not sure, they come in smaller pieces so you can try them yourself. I have found them absolutely the best!

We have 2 Havanese dogs that use these pads daily when we are not home. They last and hold up to washing them in the washer and then hang dry. We use HE detergent, oxy clean, and they do not stink and are holding up just great. Have been using them for almost a year now. We have not had any issues with the pads peeling a part. The only bad thing about them is the price.

I bought this item for my elderly dog for when I am away. They claim to be washable and the blue liner pulls away from the pad. The pad holds liquid but too pricey for the length of time they can be reused. Had my roll for only a month. Don't bother with this product.

Zuke's Jerky Naturals Dog Treats, 6-Ounce

Zuke's Jerky Naturals Dog Treats, Tender Lamb Recipe, 6-OunceWe have a little Maltese that we spoil to no end. These treats are the perfect size for him and he loves them.

He can be a little picky. Among his daily treats are Greenies and since we found these on Amazon, Zuke's Jerky Naturals. I will say that we tried two different kinds. Along with these, we tried the Wellness WellBites Chicken and Venison Recipe Dog Treats, 8-Ounce Pouch.

The Zuke's are really potent. When you open the bag, you catch a big whiff of how strong they are. They're probably real flavorful because of it (I didn't try one). The Wellness treats seem a little dryer. While our little guy likes both of the treats, the Zuke's win over the Wellness. Plus they're cheaper so that's even better. He can't get enough of them.

We also tried the Zuke's Z-Ridge Mini Carrot Fresh Breath Dental Chew Bones, 15 Count Pouch made by Zuke's. He doesn't like those as much as the Greenies.

I would say that this product is one of the best we found for our dog. Plus we were able to take advantage of the free super saver shipping as well. These are highly recommended.

[Edit: August 14, 2011]

He still loves them!

We've had to start giving our little guy Remedel for a little shoulder injury he had. These Zukes make it real easy to give him the pill. Since they're moist, we just put the pill inside and press it all around the pill. That way he doesn't even know he's taking it. Trying to give him pills with the Wellness treats doesn't work so well since they're dryer.

[Edit: September 29, 2012]

Anyone else notice that they seem different?? The last couple packs we bought were dryer and brittle. They also weren't as potent as the other ones were. He doesn't seem to like them as much any more. I don't know if the bags we bought were partially opened so they dried out by the time the were delivered or if their recipe changed. I'll buy some more and see how they turn out. A little disappointed...

I have a geriatric mini poodle. He can't chew biscuits or rawhide textures,but these treats are soft enough and still provide some workout for his gums and remaining teeth.

I appreciate the fact that the ingredients are domestic and it is manufactured in the US.

My golden retriever loves them. You can chop them into squares if you want smaller treats.

I bought two bags of these, thinking it was the same product that I used to buy in different packaging (light blue, with a see-through dog shape against a grass green background). Unfortunately, it was completely not the same thing! These treats were actually like jerky-tough and brittle. I give my dog soft treats because he doesn't chew the damn things, and he choked on these horrible things; I had to toss them out.

Note that the "Zuke's Jerky Naturals" with the other packaging (http://www.amazon.com/Zukes-Jerky-Naturals-Beef/dp/B00008DFPY) have always been moist and soft, and I've never had a problem with those. I suspect that this batch was not new packaging, as I had thought, but very old packaging; these may be the same treats I usually feed my dog, just having sat on a shelf for years. In any case, these were COMPLETELY different treats, and not safe to feed my dog.

These are not the tough, durable jerky that I was expecting, but small, soft, chewy squares. They break up easily into tiny BB sized balls (maybe 12 per square) and my puppies will do ANYTHING for them! Best dang training aide on the market!

Warner Decorative Door Bell 10" With 3 Brass Plated Sleigh Bells

Warner Decorative Door Bell 10' With 3 Brass Plated Sleigh BellsI got this in the mail and the strap was of a better quality than the one I previously bought. The bells were also of good quality. These make excellent secondary alarms when hung on a door knob. I like them, they serve their purpose.

The bells are very nice! They are sturdy and sound great! They are attached to a very nice leather belt, and tied with a leather strap to the door handle. I was pleasantly surprised by the great quality. We use it as a bell for our dog to ring to go outside. It is much better quality than some other products that are made specifically for that purpose.

ATC Pet Safe Stubborn Dog Receiver Collar for Standard Underground Fence System(PET023)

ATC Pet Safe Stubborn Dog Receiver Collar for Standard Underground Fence System(PET023)
  • Pulsed Porportional Stimulus
  • Progressive Tone Stimulus
  • Compatible with PET023 Smart Dog In-ground Pet Fencing system
  • Quick disconnect terminals.
  • Range to 5 acres

I purchased this fence for my 2 dogs who chase squirrels and rabbits out of my yard. the wire is flimsy, but it was cheap to begin with. The collars never really worked right. they would beep for no reason and scare my dogs.I had to replace 1 of them.I did only lay the wire around the yard without burying it in spots , but it would break every time a rabbit even ran over it. Every morning i was out looking for a break and fixing it.Anyway my dogs ran through numerous times. The shock apparently wasn't strong enough to stop them from chasing something. My dogs both weigh about 50 lbs.I thought it was a waste.I guess you get what you pay for. I thought I could go cheap since I purchased about 6 shock collars previously from amazon, they all broke. Or my dogs jumped in the pond with them on.
