Pet Naturals of Vermont Daily Catch For Dogs

Daily Catch for DogsMy 2yr old Cockapoo spends quite a bit of time scratching. The vet said if theres no hair missing and no sores or blood, they don't worry about it. Still, it annoys me and I know it annoys her.

I gave her one of these treats (because of the salmon oil) 2 evenings ago and the next morning there was FAR less scratching !! Another last night and NO scratching this morning. Probably a gigantic coincidence but its never happened before!

I will report back if the scratching comes back but so far I'm putting it in the miracle class. I may start takeing them myself just on general principals.

This is my dogs favorite treat and it's healthy. The 1st ingredient listed is fish which I think makes it's tastier and dogs get omega 3 from it which helps keep their skin and coat healthy. This makes a great treat for dogs with allergies also. My dog chose this treat over Halo and Zukes which are other popular healthy brands and a bit pricy.

This product is okay. Our dog Gracie loves them, but then again she loves everything. It's too early to see any difference in her coat or health.

i chose this rating because my dog loves the cookies. I would have given it 5 stars if the package wasn't open when I got them.

Canine Equipment Carry-all Treat Bags, Black

Canine Equipment Carry-all Treat Bags, BlackThis is the first treat bag I've ever used. I bought it to train my new puppy, and even though I'd seen (and liked the look of) the flat style in training books this was what my local pet store carried. Getting the treat to them quickly is really important, but I find this bag awkward to use unless it's at least 2/3 full. Because it doesn't have a lot of structure, if it's less than half full there's just too much loose lining fabric that bunches and gets in the way of my fingers. It's really difficult if you're using tiny treats (I use puppy kibble or other tiny training treats). They just get buried in folds of nylon fabric and I end up digging around for the treat as puppy's attention drifts elsewhere. There's an internal divider, but it's just a single layer of nylon and so floppy it's useless for small treats. I could see this working much better with large treats or biscuits.

Another thing thing that doesn't work for me is the drawstring takes two hands to open and close. When I'm dealing with a leash, poop bag, and clicker, I've found I really need a one-handed treat bag. I tend to just leave it open when I'm training, but I've spilled kibble countless times when I've forgotten it's open and sit on the couch or lean over too far. My last complaint is that the clip kept partially coming off the bag. It slides into little top and bottom sleeves, but kept coming loose of the top sleeve and then was only precariously attached. I ended up removing the clip and using the carabiner on my belt loop instead, which is adequate but then the bag swings around a bit more.

Except for the clip attachment, the bag is well made and seems sturdy, and the front mesh pocket is handy for a clicker or poop bag. I'd use it for non-training situations using larger biscuits (casual day at the dog park, for example), but for training it's just not the right design for me. I'm going to try one of the snap-open flat styles next.

I bought this treat bag to make it easier to carry lots of treats while I train my dog on walks and in the park.

Pros:

Can hold a ball, some treats, and poo bags no problem

Has a carabiner and belt clip for easy attachment

Drawstring keeps treats from falling out and makes them last longer by keeping them fresher

Cons:

Smaller treats (like Zukes) can be difficult to get at since there is a small pocket that they sometimes get stuck in

Overall, it is a good product, and we use it often however I still sometimes carry a plain plastic baggy to hold small treats for training.

This bag is small but efficient, easy to attach to a belt, and convenient. Works well. Bag contains an inside pocket which will hold a second treat; and an outside bag for a small phone or keys. Perfect size for my purposes.

My problemI didn't check the dimensions. Smaller than I expected and wanted but as described-kinda. The pouch will hold a tennis ball (if you push hard) but not a ball and treats. The outside pouch will not hold a tennis ball , for the size it will hold, that size is small enough to choke your dog. It does have an inside pocket about the size of a clicker. When the pull string is tightened, it cuts off the top 1/3 of the pouch space. The construction is very durable and nicely done. So, if you have a small dog with a small ball, tiny poop bag(s), and tiny treats then this bag is great for you! My dog is a 100lb Wht. G. Shep who likes to fetch a baseball bat and tennis balls. Oh well, my error not Amazon or the seller(description a bit misleading)...I have used the treat bag now and find it great for a lot of smaller treats for my dog and probably better and less costly than the larger treats he was getting. He doesn't care since I break the larger treats to smaller bites. The ball pocket..nah..use it for a bag or clicker. I like this purchase!

Litter Kwitter Toilet Training System

Litter Kwitter Toilet Training SystemI got this in hopes to reduce my need for cat litter. It did help in that manner for a while. The need to stick to the schedule and instructions is very necessary. Plus EVERYONE in the house needs to help stick with them and you will be surprised as I was that I had Cat's in the bathroom using the toilet to pee... I believe had the rest of my house hold also helped that I would have gotten at least the two to use the toilet full time and possible gotten another to use it. Don't fret the little things or any accidents the babies have, it just takes some time to get them use to doing and using something so unnatural to them but it really works!!!

Patterned Martingale Dog Collar (Various Sizes and Patterns Available)

Patterned Martingale Dog Collar-Pink Bone-XSI ordered this based on the quality of a different Martingale collar ordered from the same company. Their customer service is excellent, with quick shipping and products in excellent condition. I'm sorry to say that this collar is already fraying to a point where it will need replacement soon, and my small dog has only been wearing this for two months. As a "fashion" collar this would be great, but we were hoping for something that would last.

Fit perfect and looks good on my girl. It was easy to put on and take off, also washes nice.

I love this style collar for all my dogs, keeps them from slipping out of their collar. They are adjustable and close snug when the dog pulls. Once in a while the adjustment piece fails if the dog has been pulling a lot, but for the most part they do not fail. Some of my dogs have been waring the same collar for years with out any issue. These are also great on puppies that are training and try to wiggle out, but no can do, these collars prevent that and saves lives.

Would buy again if needed. Well made and works like a charm. Wish the band were a little more narrow but my dog is between sizes, so not the collars fault.

Very cute, just as pictured. It is not quite as thick and pliable as my other martingale collar but it works.

RC-8 Ultra-Slim Radio Dog Collar

RC-8 Ultra-Slim Radio Dog CollarI just purchased a replacement collar again and for the last time. These collars only seem to be effective for six months or so. After that they suck up the battery life in an amount of days. Also, the static correction level is low. Add in the fact that one will be purchasing batteries indefinitely, this is a no go. After this one craps out on me, as it will, I will no longer be purchasing products from Humane Contain.

The system works, but I have large golden retrievers, and at a full speed run will pass right over the wire without much bother.

Collar with Roller Buckle and Nickel Hardware

Collar with Roller Buckle and Nickel Hardware Color: BlackWe bought this color to be an additional one for the shock collars we purchased. It's big enough to fit our very large dogs, which is what we needed. I thought it would be a little better quality, but seems to serve it's purpose.

PatentoPet Anti Bite Leash 7 Ft x 1 In Red

PatentoPet Anti Bite Leash 7 Ft x 1 In RedAlthough initially my dog would bite this leash it was more like he was holding it in his mouth. The leash has been in use for quite a few weeks and the side seams opened up in one spot. the rest of the leash held up so i kept using it but now it's falling apart on many side seams. I had to get new leashes and considered this but the price was just too high so i decided to just buy cheaper ones and throw them away after my dog chewed through them. Surprisingly, my dog doesn't chew on the leashes anymore so i think this might have broken him of the habit. So you should consider getting this, breaking your dog of the habit, and then go back to the less expensive leashes.

Suffice it to say, the no biting part of the leash is a fallacy. Am I shocked? Nope, been here before with any number of items claiming they do a myriad of things. The good news is, it's very well made and I think I can do a few things with it. It's worth the money as a training leash. Red Pepper? NOT so much.

SHETLAND SHEEPDOG DVD! All about the Sheltie. Includes Bonus Video: Dog & Puppy Obedience Training.

SHETLAND SHEEPDOG DVD! All about the Sheltie. Includes Bonus Video: Dog & Puppy Obedience Training.I agree with the other reviewer. What a waste! If you're looking to see Shelties at varies stages of life, or various colorings, etc. look elsewhere. This was the only DVD that I could find on Shetland Sheepdogs, and I wish I'd passed on it. But I wanted to show the family what we're considering. I watched it by myself, and I'm glad I did. The kids would have been bored stiff, and they used ONE puppy throughout the entire video. Talk about boring. I wanted to see litters of puppies playing together, adult dogs doing tricks. Pass on this, buy a good & informative book filled with pictures, and then find homemade videos of real people with their dogs. Much more satisfying.

This video is cute but not at all what I expected. I was drawn to the information on grooming a sheltie but the whole video focused on puppies, not adult dogs. Adult dogs have very different needs than puppies do. My dogs did enjoy the doggie video towards the end.

Could have been a nice product but failed at every turn. It was 2 months late in arriving, received 2 copies instead of the requested one and was an absolute waste of time as it was advertised. The only info provided was obvious to any dog owne and the dog was a poor representative of the breed. Didn't use any variety of the breed. The viewer gets the feeling that the production takes place at a shelter and the human rep in the film is calling out for different breeds to make the same lousy film with yet a different animal. "OK, that's a wrap now let's do the beagle."

Don't waste your time or money on this one.

Whole Life Pet Products Pure Meat All Natural Freeze Dried Turkey Treats for Dogs, 4-Ounce

Whole Life Pet Products Pure Meat All Natural Freeze Dried Turkey Treats for Dogs, 4-OunceI purchased these pure freeze dried meat pieces initially because I had a diabetic cat and had to get him off the dry food completely. These meat pieces are just that pure meat pure protein. They are what a carnivore needs. Cats of course are obligate carnivores and dogs are often said to be omnivores but that is not really true. Dogs are carnivores as well, however they will scavenge and are able to get nutrition from non animal proteins as well where a cat must have the meat. Whether you have a dog or cat or both these whole life pet products freeze dried meat (many varieties are available not just turkey) are a healthy and appropriate food for your dog or cat to eat. Some use them as treats i,e, for training purposes, I give them to cats as a reward and also crumbled on top of food to entice them to eat!

Its hard to find a single-ingredient treat for my dogs who are allergic to most everything, but these are great! Good sized pieces and my dogs always love them.

My dog loves these treats and I like them because they are all natural. He hardly eats the more processed treats anymore. Only problem is he would eat the whole bag at once if he could.

I purchased this treat at my local vets office since my dog is on strict turkey diet due to allergies.

The product is very expensive for the amount you are getting. But I can only justify it by quality.

My dog eats the treats but is not crazy about them since due to freeze dry process there is almost no smell to the treats.

Another issue is that since the treats are dry they easily break and crumble. I ordered my second pack online to save money (I will not disclose the vendor since I am reviewing the product not delivery) but 1/5th of the package was filled with dry turkey dust instead of treats. So I will keep buying the product from the vet or store to have all of it edible and not damaged.

Overall it is a good treat for dogs with food sensitivities and on diets since nothing much is added to it.
