Travelin' Dog Pet Seat Best Quality


Our Pom-Chi mix weighs just over 12 pounds. This seat has been a real life saver. It awkwardly fastens into the car seat but this does not bother me as my husband usually moves it from car to truck etc. Our dog really likes this. He can see more by being higher in this seat. He jumps onto the seat and waits for us to fasten his safety harness. He likes it so well, there are times we have to persuade him to leave! We have not had any problems with the legs snapping shut during travel. Murphy likes to chew on the liner so we removed it. We are 100% happy we purchased this product.Get more detail about Travelin' Dog Pet Seat.

Drinkwell Big-Dog Pet Fountain Immediately


I think that this is a wonderful device for providing water for any animal. I provides great water for my 3 dogs, i.e., 2 mini-doxies, and a 76 lb. female Lab. Anyone that has maintained water for animals knows how the bowl can get slimy and nasty from the dust and dirt from being on the ground to the grunge from stuff in the animal's mouth. The fountain is thoughtfully designed for cleaning and even pump replacement. The 50 or 70 oz. reservoir couldn't be easier to change out and/or clean! I use Brita filtered well water and along with the activated charcoal filter in the fountain the water stays fresh and aerated. I was very skeptical about any of these devices as just some gimmick, but after about a year and reading reviews I got the "Big Dog" model and very, very, happy. I would buy this again for me and for a gift.

It is easy to clean, as I alluded to above, and I use Dawn dish liq. with Clorox and/or Clorox Clean-Up with lots of rinsing! Even my new pup seems to be attracted to the light bubbling noises and the pump is very quite in my home. I hope that this has been beneficial to others and encourages others, that can afford it, buy one to provide consistently tasty and clean water for your loving pets.Get more detail about Drinkwell Big-Dog Pet Fountain.

Carlson 0680PW Mini Gate with Pet Door, White Top Quality


Bought this because dog #2 chewed up the Four Paws 18" wooden gate I used to have. Definitely no chewing going on now since this is metal. My 5 lb teacup maltese (dog #1) is able to shimmy through the sides to get to the other side. I could buy an extension but I really don't feel like paying the additional $10 plus shipping for it. I bought two of these gates: one of them was missing the little feet at the bottom. I'm sure if I called, they would have sent them to me but they're negligible in my opinion.Get more detail about Carlson 0680PW Mini Gate with Pet Door, White.

Pet Gear Happy Trails Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 30-pounds, Cobalt Blue Review


After many years of my 2 doxies riding in their blue Happy Trails stroller, the wheels became worn. I ordered a new Happy Trails stroller in blue, which I immediately returned. Evidently the Happy Trails stroller has been redesigned and made smaller with smaller wheels. Why? Not only that, but the only other 4 wheeled stroller with the larger wheels (Jeep Wrangler) was discontinued. There is now no 4 wheeled stroller for pets with wheels larger than 6.5". As stroller people know, the larger the wheel, the easier to push and 4 wheels are much easier than the 3 wheels to control, not to mention more compact. I am very disappointed in Pet Gear for not producing a replacement for either the Jeep Wrangler nor the larger Happy Trail model.....The Pink Plus is also not as big. With all the good reviews for these strollers, I can't imagine why the downsize. I now have to buy new wheels for old stroller...Pet Gear would have made more money by me buying whole stroller.Get more detail about Pet Gear Happy Trails Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 30-pounds, Cobalt Blue.

Pet-Tabs Supplement for Dogs, 60 Tablets


I used to buy my Pomeranian dogs vitamin pills but they never liked them. I had to FORCE them to eat it. I bought these (and the 360 count ones) and they have been in love with them from the beginning. All 5 of my dogs. I take one pill and split it in half. Everyone gets a half. Obviously, you can't see the results but I feel as if they're healthier for using it. Plus, I give a whole pill when they are pregnant to make sure they get enough healthy vitamins and minerals.

Great product.

Buy JW Pet Company Tough By Nature Hol-ee Roller 5 in Dog Toy Assorted Colors


I'm a 10 year-old German Shepherd. So this soft squishy ball is gentle on my aging teeth and gums - - yet DURABLE enough when that bouncing-off-the-walls-with-endless-energy lab puppy comes over to visit... (aka steals my toys). My human pet sometimes puts dog biscuits inside this ball - which entertains me (and her) for a good 30 minutes. I actually have two of these now. One outside and one inside. The inside one is great - because the humans here throw it all over the house. It's lightweight and gentle on the walls/furniture, etc. - So get TWO!Get more detail about JW Pet Company Tough By Nature Hol-ee Roller 5 in Dog Toy Assorted Colors.

Order Super Pet Hamster Silent Spinner 6-1/2-Inch Regular Exercise Wheel, Colors Vary


I got this wheel about 2 months ago and in the time I had it it was not balanced at all and every other day I would have to pick it up and set it up right for my chinchilla. When he would run on it it tilted and made him run sideways. Along with that it is more silent than a wire wheel but not quiet in the least. I can hear it squeaking from the other room. And about two months after I bought it, it snapped and the plastic cut jaggedly off of the center component. It could have seriously injured my chinchilla if it got its leg caught. I do not recommend buying this for how expensive it is.Super Pet Chinchilla 12-Inch Giant Silent Spinner Exercise Wheel, Colors VaryGet more detail about Super Pet Hamster Silent Spinner 6-1/2-Inch Regular Exercise Wheel, Colors Vary.

Mr. Herzher's® Medium Wicker Pet Residence Best Quality


Like other reviewers, I was very happy when I received Mr. Herzher's Pet Residence. It looked great in place of the old wire crate I'd been using for my lab. Later the same day I crated her and ran a few errands. I was gone for about an hour. When I cam home, she had chewed a large hole in one of the side panels. This dog has not chewed anything else in my house (other than her toys), so I was really surprised. Although I found an online source for replacement panels, I've put the crate in storage for now. If your dog chews at all, this is a waste of money!Get more detail about Mr. Herzher's® Medium Wicker Pet Residence.

Bellrock Growers Dog Treats, Chicken, 4 oz Immediately


My wife and I share our home with the Three Muske-Terriers: A male Westie, a male Cesky and, the Empress-of-All-She-Surveys, a female Scotty. The Empress is alergic to wheat, (along with corn and soy), so I had my doubts concerning Pet Greens Roasted Chicken Recipe w/ Wheat Grass Dog Treats - wheat grass after all is just "juvenile" wheat. But apparently not to worry! We're half way through our first bag and no allergic reaction, (you haven't lived until you've seen a crazed Scotty in the middle of an allergic frenzy chewing on her tootsies). Now, putting aside her allergies, the Empress will eat almost anything - and so will the Cesky. But the Westie gives new meaning to the term "finicky" - and Asta gives these treats five barks - I mean, stars. So what's up here?

The treats are mostly roasted chicken meal, supplemented with dried chicory extract, organic ground wheat grass powder, lecithin, salt, cultured whey and garlic, preserved with "mixed tocopherols," (I'm not a chemist, but I think that's a fancy name for vitamin E, sourced from vegetable oil). The wheat grass doesn't contain any wheat glutten - which I think is the reason it doesn't trigger the Empress' allergies. Wheat grass is an excellent source of any and all of the nutrients contained in fresh vegetables.

The treats are small "jerky-like" rectangles - no more than an inch by 3/4s of an inch, and maybe 1/16 of an inch thick, (they may be more appropriate for small to medium size dogs - a large dog would want three or four at a time). They're great for a quick reward and at only about 4 calories a piece, there's not much danger that your dog is going to put on unwanted pounds, (however I wouldn't suggest that you carry them loose in your pocket or purse - they smell strongly of garlic - I keep 'em in a zip lock baggie).

As far as I can tell, the ingrediants are all natural, but only the wheat grass is organic - if you are interested in organic treats, I suggest that you check out those made by Wagatha or Robbie Dawg.

Bottom Line: I think that Pet Greens offers both a change of flavor and a change in texture from most common dog treats. The Three Muske-Terriers are scarfing 'em down - your furry buddy probably will too.

Shop For FroliCat BOLT Interactive Laser Pet Toy


Every cat loves laser pointers, that's a no-brainer, but this toy requires minimal human interaction, which was a selling point for me. I work from home, and usually my kittens are on my lap and up on my shoulders, trying to attack the mouse cursor on the screen or distract my mouse hand so they can get petted. If I close the door, they cry endlessly and try to dig a tunnel through the carpet until I let them in. That isn't good for me when I'm working so I got them this toy. It's a laser pointer and everyone knows cats love to chase laser pointers. That part is great.

This opinion is coming from an engineer, and I see 2 problems with this product.

1) The cats should be able to turn it on themselves when they want to play with the laser. Cats are smart enough to figure out that the laser comes out of the device, and touching or batting the device will make the laser come out of it. If the device's chassis were re-designed to be roughly half-spherical with a flat base and some ballast in the bottom, cats could whack on it with their paws without knocking it over. Put something dangly and attractive to cats on it to encourage them to touch it. A cheap accelerometer could detect the cat's touch and activate the laser. My old cat (a rescued feral with little interest in me other than food-and-water-provider) would not ever respond to her name, but she would come running if I called out "Laser!". Even before I turned on the laser pointer, she would look at the pointer in my hand and inspect the area of the floor it was pointed at. This animal had a few signs of unusually high intelligence, but I think most cats could figure out smacking the device gets them 15 minutes of laser play. The human-activated mode could still be retained as well.

2) The laser pointer jumps around too much and they lose track of it. It moves around one area for a few seconds and then disappears, reappearing several feet away, often outside the cat's field of vision. The cat loses track of it for a while, which appears to be somewhat frustrating for the animal.Get more detail about FroliCat BOLT Interactive Laser Pet Toy.

Discount Multipet Nuts for Knots Ball Medium Dog Toy


This toy is great, until your dog figures out how to unravel it. From that point on, it's all downhill. It then becomes a rope with a ball at the end, which can be flown about your house if your dog gets too excited while playing with it. Then, as it unravels more, large pieces of rope begin falling off. Our dog pulled off a section of rope that was several inches long - not just a few strands, but an entire section of those twisted, multicolored ropes. It was at that point we took it away. But she enjoyed it a lot until that point.Get more detail about Multipet Nuts for Knots Ball Medium Dog Toy.

Cheap Bergan Ant Free Pet Bowl (Colors Vary)


I live in the country and feed 3 cats outside so ants are a problem. The feeders solve the problem nicely, and the cats can't turn them over either. I add fresh food as needed and when the water in the "moat" evaporates to where it's mostly gone I just rinse the bowl, dry, and refill. The bowl was larger than I expected, but after using it for awhile I think the size helps maintain the stability of the bowl. The size would also be okay for a small dog.

Low Price Cayman 1 Pet Carrier


I purchased the carier after measuring my dog and the carrier was not as big as they say it is. My dog is only 11 pounds and it says the description say it fits dogs up to 20 pounds. It is a sturdy carrier though and it was very easy to put together. My dog could not sit properly or turn around. It was clearly misrepresented but I purchased the Cayman 2 and it was perfect. If you have a very small or short dog, this carrier works. I would reccomend that you do measure your dog and purchase the next size up.

Our Pets Store-N-Feed Jr. Universal Decide Now


My sister's cat was in the habit of pushing her separate water and food bowls around the kitchen and living room.... spilling a lot in the process. I have the regular-sized version of the Store-N-Feed, and recommended the Jr size to my sister. At the very least, she could put something heavy in the storage area to weigh it down, so it wouldn't be so easy for her cat to push it around.

Turns out, simply having this Junior feeder solved the problem of the bowl scooting. Something about its size or weight, I don't know which, but the cat doesn't want to scoot it around.

Super Pet CritterTrail Discovery Deluxe Habitat Decide Now


I have tried many cages for my four mice, and while this one is far from perfect I find it to be the best, but it required a couple of modifications. I should say that my last cage was the Habitrail OVO for Dwarf Hamsters or Mice, and while it looked awesome and the wheel was totally silent, the water bottle leaked like crazy (and the tube beneath it was not water tight so it leaked onto whatever surface the cage is on), there is VERY little actual "floor space," and since it comes in about 50 pieces and must be disassembled to clean properly, it's a huge pain to clean. It's pretty, but it's pricey and painstaking, and it's what led me to try this CritterTrail cage, which promised easy cleaning.

It keeps that promise. I find this cage to be extremely easy to clean, and I love the amount of open space that my mice have to run around, and I can use large accessories on the bottom level. No other cage system I have tried is nearly as easy to clean as this one is, which makes dual-level living so much easier to deal with. It's the space and ease of cleaning that make it worth looking past the considerable faults and making modifications to make it really workable.

The first negative thing that was immediately evident was the water bottle. It's flimsy, doesn't stay in place, and leaks all over the place, not to mention that when you take it off to fill it there's a hole plenty large enough for a determined mouse to squeeze through. I discarded this bottle altogether, put an endcap over the hole, and bought a good water bottle to attach to the bars on the back. I've noticed that most water bottles that come with CritterTrail cages leave much to be desired.

The second major problem, which showed up within minutes of moving my mice into their new home, is the wheel. It looks great and it's a nice idea to have the wheel outside so it takes up no space inside, but the thing is LOUD, and the tiny little guard around the bottom seam of the wheel does nothing to keep excrement from falling onto the surface below, so within fifteen minutes I realized I had a whole pile of mouse poop on my desk. I tried to alleviate this by buying the external wheel that comes with a little drawer for the excrement, but this fills in no time and can't catch it all anyway, because it flies out from all directions. I ended up placing an endcap on this hole as well, and I bought a small solid-surface wheel that I attached to the bars on the inner right side of the cage, which is the only place where it is possible to do so. I wouldn't recommend this for most hamsters, as it will only accommodate a small wheel, but this is fine for mice. You can however place a much larger, free-standing wheel in the front of the cage, leaving open space behind it. That, I think, would make it suitable for a hamster. The external wheels are absolutely terrible though, I would avoid using them. If you have the space, you could connect it to another cage that has an internal wheel, which would be a luxurious solution.

Despite the design flaws of the accessories, I would still highly recommend this cage if you're willing to fiddle with it a bit, as it makes cleaning a snap and it is very easy to view your pets as they enjoy this habitat.Get more detail about Super Pet CritterTrail Discovery Deluxe Habitat.
