PetSafe/Innotek Probe Replacement Kit/Pack - Dog Shock Collar Parts - Probe Prong Post

PetSafe/Innotek Probe Replacement Kit/Pack - Dog Shock Collar Parts - Probe Prong PostJust what I needed for my dogs collars. Need more words to complete this section of the form,,, here goes

This is a nice alternative to replacing the whole system. I bought this to replace my original probes which fell off the collar and got lost. Haven't had a problem with them. They keep the dog in the yard, unable to dig holes under the fence. Love them!

We lost one of the probes and this was an adequate replacement. It has two sizes of screws but my PetSafe used only the larger ones.

Petco Classic 1-Door Dog Crate

Petco Classic 1-Door Dog CrateCrate arrived quickly and as described. Works great for my boxer mix who loves it. The metal is not the strongest though as I was able to bend the metal trying to get the divider out of the crate. I was able to pull it back straight but just a word of caution for it you have a dog who is destructive or likes to escape.

Gentle Leader Treat Pouch - Green

Gentle Leader Treat Pouch - GreenThe gentle leader treat pouch is an excellent design, but unfortunately the quality of construction leaves much to be desired. My wife and I purchased two packs to use with our new puppy, and after about three weeks of use, one of the loops that hold the belt broke on my pouch. No big deal, I thought, I'll just use the handy clip and attach it to my own belt. That worked fine for another week until the clip snapped off. Meanwhile, the hinges on my wife's pack broke causing it to stay in the open position at all times. So, we took them back to the store where we bought them, and we were given two new ones. Well, after about a week of use, the hinges on mine broke. So, I took it back to the store once more, and got another one. So far so good with this one and with my wife's, but we're not too optimistic that these will hold up for long.

There is also a very annoying sharp edge that sticks out on both corners where the seams come together. It scratches the underside of your forearm when you're walking or whenever you brush against it when treating your dog. We solved this with a pair of scissors by cutting the offending seam end off, something that one would expect the manufacturers to do.

It's a great design and could be a great product, but they need to beef things up a bit.

Excellent concept, poor construction. After three months of use, once a day, one of the hinges broke defeating the design that allows it to snap shut. This was after one of the hinge pins had come out but wasn't lost so was re-installed. Would NOT recommend this product.

Resco Mahogany Cordo-Hyde Show Lead with Brass Fastner, 3/8-Inch Wide by 60-Inch Long

Resco Mahogany Cordo-Hyde Show Lead with Brass Fastner, 3/8-Inch Wide by 60-Inch LongI have very little experience in showing dogs, but we now have a puppy who is supposedly champion material, and so the breeder wanted us to get a headstart in preparing him. It was suggested I get this Resco lead. It's easy to put on and take off (perhaps a little too easy) and the dog doesn't seem to mind it, and so we jog around the backyard with this lead as if he is the showring. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because when I wind it up after each use, it tends to stay wound up for a while, and it makes it a bit of an untangle job the next time. But the lead itself works fine.

Perfect for showing my Havanese. Would like to purchase oon with the "spinner" and a little shorter than this one.

Dean and Tyler Nylon Patches, Therapy Dog In Training, Black/White, 5-Inch by 1.5-Inch

Dean and Tyler Nylon Patches, Therapy Dog In Training, Black/White, 5-Inch by 1.5-InchThey accidentally sent a different patch in the beginning, but when I called, a new one was sent promptly at no charge. I would recommend using their services.

My Dog never chews on it or bothers with it at all. The quality of the product is durable and the lettering is easy to read and seems to be a high quality print. The photo does not give this product justice because it looks cheaply made on the computer screen, but believe me when I say this product looks professional as can be.

The patch itself is fine. Good quality with lettering very clear. And I haven't found anything else that has both the "therapy dog" and "in training" wording. The problem is that the parches just have the "hook" side of velcro on the back. So unless your training vest is made of the "loop" velcro fabric this isn't going to stick. This company sells its own training vest so maybe it attaches to that. I don't want to invest in another vest since my dog will use the Omega Society green vest when he is certified. So my choices are to attach a separate piece of loop to his vest or sew it on. The size needed additonal velcro makes the patch heavy for a light vest. The velcro backing is too thick to sew through so I am going to have to remove the backing and then sew the vinyl patch on. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Classic Accessories Max4 Heritage Retriever Blind and Decoy Bag (Camo, One size)

Classic Accessories Max4 Heritage Retriever Blind and Decoy BagToo top heavy when carrying decoys, straps are on bottom and get muddy, and as a blind it is too short for a small lab. Great concept that misses the mark.

I work for an organization that traps feral cats. I purchased this duck blind to use as a shelter for the traps during the winter. It's absolutely perfect--easy to use, folds up small, easy to clean. Already used successfully, and it kept the kitty warm!

Raw Science Diet, 12-Ounce

Stewart's Raw Science 12-Ounce Bag Freeze Dried Dog Food, Real Beef with Berries & Flaxseed by MiracleCorp/GimbornThe previous reviewer is obviously unfamiliar with the benefits of feeding freeze dried and raw or low processed foods. Most dogs cannot easily digest kibble and those that seem to don't get all the nutrients they are meant to have. Consider living on a diet of fast food versus cooking at home with whole foods. Your pets are meant to kill, scavange and eat whole foods, NOT ultra processed kibble! Yes it is more expensive then kibble....but it is so worth it. I have a dog with chronic allergies and digestive problems, the only thing that has helped is keeping his diet as natural as possible and supplimenting with digestive enzymes and an essential fatty acid. Please don't read the previous review and dismiss the wonderful benefits of freeze dried raw diets. Do your research, then decide which food is best for your dog.

I YELL AT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME THAT TALK/COMPLAIN ABOUT PACKAGING ETC BECAUSE THERE'S A;WAYS A SEPARATE PLACE FOR YOU TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT...BUT IN THIS CASE I WASNT GIVEN THE OPTION

I WAS GOING TO GIVE 2 1/2 STARS TO SPLIT IT UP WITH THE PRODUCT AND THE PROBLEM BUT IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME

WELL MY 2 BEAGLES LOVE IT...AND ONE IS VERY PICKY..I CAN NOT USE AS A "MEAL" BECAUSE THE AMOUNT IN THE BAG WOULD LAST A PUPPY 2 WEEKS IF EVEN...MY 3 YRS OLD IT SAYS FEEDS 2 CUPS A DAY? THAT WOULD LAST 2 DAYS....FOR MY 1 YR OLD SAYS 11/2 CUPS A DAY SO MAYBE 3-4 DAYS FOR HER...DO YOU FEEL OVER 20 BUCKS A BAG ITS WORTH IT? NOT FOR ME...I USE IT STRICKLY AS TREATS. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION...IS THE BAG IS...HUGE....BUT LITERALLY 1/4 FULL (LIKE THOSE BAG OF CHIPS YA BUY) MAKES YOU THINK YOUR GETTING A LOT WHEN IN REALITY YOUR NOT...AND NOW FOR THE WORST PART..

ITS "SUPPOSE" TO BE CUBES OF FOOD..HA! MY LAST 2 BAGS WAS 1/4 BAG CUBES 3/4 DUST!!! YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST SCOOP IT UP WITH A CUP OR SPOON! SO ALL THATS GOOD FOR IS...SHAKING ON TOP OF OTHER FOOD!!

I WILL NOT BE BUYING THIS EVER AGAIN!

NOT RECOMMENDED!

Bubble Gabber Dog Toy

Grriggles Bubble Gabbers Dog Toy, 5-Inch, YellowThe instant I pulled this guy out, my dog went nuts over it! He loved it so much that within only a few short weeks, he worked the sound box out and his favourite "glub glub" glubbed his last. I'm not sure if my dog is excessively destructive, or if the seams are just weak. Guess you'll have to try it for yourself!

Sam's Yams Veggie Rawhide Dog Treats

Sam's Yams Veggie Rawhide Dog TreatsI have a dog with severe allergies and this is pretty much the only product I can give her to enjoy, treat and/or teeth cleaning! I pretty much place an order every month!

Since most rawhides contain non-food products that can upset tummies and even cause blockages, I started looking for healthy alternatives. Sam's Yam's are all natural (just sweet potato), non-allergenic, and easily digested. This product still helps remove tartar as other rawhides do but I don't have to worry about any negative effects on my dogs' stomachs. I highly recommend it.

Labradoodle puppy likes these chews. He is sometimes disinterested, but get an enjoyment for 10 minutes (med or large). I like that they do not cause significant changes in his bowel movements.
