Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain Immediately


I got this automatic water bowl for my 20 pound dachshund, Pickles, because I liked the fact that it said it would circulate the water. It, however, would barely move the water with its weak and basically useless pump.
The pump never had the power to produce much of a stream of water and it would randomly make a ton of loud noises.
It was a pain to clean and basically needed to be disassembed and reassembled each time to clean it properly.
The pump totally stopped working after a little more than 2 months. It would be nice to sell something that does what it says and to a normal standard.
My husband always hated it for some reason and said it was 'evil' and 'going to burn down our house one day' I thought that was a little dramatic but it never impressed him.
I felt it is a good idea cause I hate to see stagnant water in Pickles' water bowl but they need to redesign the pump with one that actually works since most people are probably buying it for the pump.
Be wary and be forewarned!

Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain Best Quality


I've been through three water fountains by similar manufacturers and this was the last one we bought prior to our new ceramic one which was purchased through Dr. Fosters website (Bridgeport Onyx Waterer).

Our dog would NOT drink out of this fountain. He seems to dislike the taste of the water because of the plastic or it could be the loudness of this fountain. This is NOT quiet. It's super loud so if you have a skittish dog - don't get this.

We bought the Dr. Fosters water fountain from their website. It's double the cost but it's absolutely beautiful and totally silent.

Basically, here's the differences:


Drinkwell:

(1) Loud - Motor is not quiet at all even at lowest setting due to vibration of plastic. We cleaned it, moved it, put towels under it - you can still hear it! Our dog wouldn't approach it and we tried and tried. This was the third of the fountains we purchased that were plastic. All had the same issue.

(2) Cleaning - Difficult but light weight - gets slimy if you don't regularly clean it thoroughly

(3) Ugly - Unattractive to both you and your pet.

(4) Cheap Quality - It's durable and light BUT it's definitely just a hard plastic. There is nothing attractive about it. They sell this at Petco if you want to go look at it.



Dr. Fosters Ceramic Fountain - Bridgeport Onyx Waterer

(1) Silent - Vibration masked by the ceramic heavy fountain (could be fact that fountain motor is a little smaller)

(2) Attractive - Beautiful - Kinda like a black hat with cute doggee prints and they even have matching single food bowls that you could get if you are an artsy soul

(3) More Expensive in cost - But quality is obvious - Currently on sale on their website - they sell the filters on Amazon - Go to Dr Fosters and Smith

(4) Our picky dog loves it! Our dog finally is drinking out of a pet fountain and he enjoys it! He loves the little slide like area where the water goes down the side and likes the pooling.

(5) Cleans easily - Light cleaning in the sink and it's only a few pieces

Well, hopefully this will help everyone out. I'm tired of going through fountain after fountain and was greatful to finally find a product that our dog loves and which is beautiful to boot. These plastic fountains are just awful and not worth it. Unless you have a pet that's totally not fussy - the way to go is with the ceramic one - not this brand. I know that some people gave it good reviews but I've compared both fountains and I can tell you, there's a HUGE difference. They just don't know it.Get more detail about Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain.

Kyjen Outward Hound Car Booster Seat Get it now!


The small is too short for my pet to lie down in, although he is only 9 pounds. The straps on the front rub his ears when he looks out the window or moves around. It tilts too much and bunches up where it rests on the seat back. The one zipper pocket is nice (three advertised) The exchange policy is ridiculous....the company will call you within 1 to 2 business to set up the exchange, and then will ship the replacement once they have received the unwanted item back! I ordered this item for a 9 hour car trip coming up this weekend. Disappointed! Poor customer service and not great marketing strategy!Get more detail about Kyjen Outward Hound Car Booster Seat.

Handi-Drink Dog Water Bottle- 17 Oz - The Portable, Spill-proof Way to Keep Pets Hydrated Decide Now


I think the people that are saying this is hard to use do not know how to use it. All you do is lift the bottle up and squeeze and the water goes into the tray, soooo easy and wonderful. We run 6 days a week and this is the only thing I can get my Belgian Sheepdog to drink from and she needs it in this desert heat. I am buying a second one just in case. I love love love it. She would never drink on our runs and I knew she was thirsty, first time I introduced her to this she immediately stops and looks at it when she is thirsty. 10 stars if I couldGet more detail about Handi-Drink Dog Water Bottle- 17 Oz - The Portable, Spill-proof Way to Keep Pets Hydrated.

Lowest Price FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats, 1.75-Inch Edge


Amazing how much hair you get with this tool. I try to use it once a week and what a difference. My cat is a American Shorthair which impact his feelings toward the heavy metal that goes over some of the boney areas. He is not too crazy of the FURminator because of this and makes it hard to use it more than once a week. That is why I gave it a 4, it would be nice if they could lighten the weight on the head of the tool.Get more detail about FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats, 1.75-Inch Edge.

Save Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Dogs and Puppies


I am VERY disappointed with this product and the company (Merial) that makes it. I have a small 4.5# dog (indoor except for pottying, 4 mos. old, only pet,) that has a mild case of fleas - no tics or other pests. After applying the product 2.5 wks. ago and after one week following the application, I only saw a small reduction in scratching. Still found a few live fleas; it clearly did not work for MY dog. When I called the company re: their "Satisfaction Guarantee" prominently placed on their packaging, I was told that in order to claim a refund, I needed to use the product for 3 consecutive months before a "refund would be considered"! Nowhere on the box does it say that. When I mentioned that to them, they said that if I had gone to their website (which I never had nor had a reason to), it is THERE that I would have seen the limitations of their "satisfaction guarantee". That's VERY deceptive and illegal to tie unwritten limitations on their packaging to their guarantee when it is not stated on their pkg. (What if their unwritten policy required 6 mos. usage, as an example, before refund is considered?) Satisfaction guaranteed means just that: if you're not satisfied (and I am NOT!), you get your money back. If the pkg. said, "Satisfaction guaranteed AFTER 3 mos. of usage", I wouldn't be arguing here. They told me that Frontline was not designed to repel fleas, so it's of no help if another flea(s) comes around after application. It only will "kill" them once they are on the dog after a day or so. I have been told, but haven't verified, that Advantix DOES repel them so I will try that brand. To adhere to THEIR requirements of minimum 3 mos. usage means that my dog would have to continue to suffer scratching and itching for another 2.25 months, which is ridiculous. I will NEVER buy this product again nor do I recommend it. If they are so deceptive about their "Satisfaction Guarantee" then what else are they deceptive about?Get more detail about Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Dogs and Puppies.

Discount Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain


I had a Petmate for years, very reliable, my cat liked it. After the fountain died I decided to go to a Drinkwell to give my cat a new experience.

My first experience with the Drinkwell was that it was a very loud water fountain, water noise. It was disturbing. My cat decided he didn't want anything to do with it. I tried different settings and it was still too loud and than one day, before dissembling it and getting rid of it, I decided to turn the water setting all the way down. The fountain became very quiet, and finally my strong willed cat began to drink from it. The water flow is acceptable. I am happy.

I like it better than the Petmate, it contains more water in its reserve bottle and is a little bit easier to clean. If you are buying a cat fountain because you want less work, filling a bowl daily is much, much easier. You do need to clean these fountains every few weeks or sooner depending on various factors. It is a chore but brushes makes it a bit easier. I just use hot water a sponge and brushes without soap until it feels squeaky again.

The pre-filter before the pump is great idea, the carbon filter is easy to replace but a bit expensive, but it is a good idea to keep it as clean as you can.

The only negative is the slight hum when the top lid is not on tight, you can make it go away, but from time to time it comes back. It is larger than the Petmate but for me it is nice having more water available.

If money is a factor, the Petmate is a good deal, mine lasted for three years, I could have replaced the pump for 19 dollars. My cat immediately liked the Petmate. I actually ran the thing out of water for a while and it still worked without burning up the pump.

Buying Kyjen Hide-A-Squirrel Puzzle Toy for Dogs


You've probably seen it at you local PetCo. This one is just a little bit larger. Our labrador is not so interested in pulling out the squirrels as playing tug-o-war with the whole tree, or chasing it when we throw it down the hallway. We've taken to stuffing it full of other dog toys and she will pull them out one by one. Well made and pretty tough.

Purchase PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer


My dog:
Chi/Pom
8.5 lbs
Very active

Cliff notes: DO NOT USE THIS!!!

Full report:
I was trying to work my dog into getting used to it. I showed it to her blah blah blah. The INSTANT it hit her nail she freaked so hard that she dislocated her hip (as someone falmiliar with this dislocation, let me tell you you wish you were giving birth; that's so much more pleasant). I've never seen anything like it. Every muscle in her body activated to get away. Now I have an appointment with an orthopedist in the morning to remove the ball joint from her femur (Femoral Head Ostectomy <- Google that!). Now I'm going to be $3000 (+ $10 for the crappy tool) in the hole. Use something else! Yesterday morning my dog was running around and happy. Today she is loaded up with morphine waiting for surgery in the morning.

DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS! It MAY work, but you are gambling with a lot:
1) the health of your animal
2) your free time (there is a 6 week recovery time for my pup)
3) a lot of money
4) your animal's health

My dog will never be the same and that makes me incredibly sad. In the morning I watched her run and jump from a 5 foot ledge at speed hit the ground and go yell at the neighbor... Just like always. I am now looking at my dog locked in a small kennel gripped by the paranoia caused by morphine. DO NOT DO IT! I only wish I had looked for some reviews; I also wish I were the one hurt right now, it was MY mistake.Get more detail about PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer.

Where To Buy Bags on Board Regular Bag Refill Pack


I've tried using things like grocery bags, bags from newpapers, etc. Grocery bags work pretty well but you have to preinspect them for holes first, and throw out the bad ones before you save them. Bags on Board is the "real thing" and substitutes just don't cut it. The package says they are biodegradeable "except in California" which I suspect is the only state in which there are actual standards on making this claim. I suppose the reality is that my pet's waste will sit in a landfill for a very long time before breaking down. I'm not proud of this, but as with disposable diapers, the convenience of easy local hygiene wins out. I've been using these for years now, and it's great that Amazon has them for less than the local pet store. They're a little expensive, but considering that it is pretty unneighborly to leave poo around, I think they've paid for themselves.

Purchase Solvit 62295 Pet Vehicle Safety Harness, Medium


Got this for our 30 lb female Beagle mix. Took a minute to figure out just how it goes onto her body the first time out, but once understood, the fit was good and subsequent uses are a breeze. Our dog doesn't mind it a bit, she is kind of high energy, but well behaved, so initially we were a bit concerned she might hate the limits to her movement. As it turned out, she liked it and is safer. The Solvit pet safety harness provides inexpensive peace of mind for those who understand the physics of auto crashes and want the best for their pooch.Get more detail about Solvit 62295 Pet Vehicle Safety Harness, Medium.

Buying SS Scroll Work Double Diner - 12"X5.8"x2.5"


I was looking for a nicer set of bowls for my cat and this is perfect. I use one bowl for dry food and the other for the wet food he gets at night (he is spoiled and has a fountain for water, which I bought on Amazon too Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain and highly recommend).

He still makes a mess with his dry food by getting it all over the floor, but a good function of these bowls is that you don't have to pick them up when you're doing a quick sweep.

I would highly recommend this item to anyone who is considering buying it.Get more detail about SS Scroll Work Double Diner - 12"X5.8"x2.5".

Pet-Tabs Plus for Dogs, 365 Tablets This instant


My lab-mix used to have a wonderful thick coat. She's somewhat allergic, so she's on a hypoallergenic food and I used to give her 3V Skin Caps with Fish oil, vitamin A, E and D. When 3V discontinued the Skin Caps, I switched her to another brand that was recommended as an equivalent. In no time at all she started to develop dry patches on her sides which quickly went bald. I investigated the guaranteed analysis of the "new" skin caps and realized they didn't have the same dosage of specific vitamins that the old ones had. I researched Pet-Tabs Plus for Dogs and realized that it would easily deliver the deficiency of vitamins she was missing, and then some! She's been on them for about a month and at first I was afraid to believe it, but the hair is finally growing back! I highly recommend this product if your dog has any skin issues. It works!Get more detail about Pet-Tabs Plus for Dogs, 365 Tablets.

Where To Buy JW Pet Company iSqueak Bone Rubber Dog Toy


My beagle chewed the end of this thing in a matter of 4 or 5 minutes. He never even figured out there was a squeaker. I figured the rubber was just way too hard, so he started chewing on it like any other bone. Once he got the end off and I took it away from him, I saw plenty of teeth marks in it.

Shop For PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder


I noticed when I received the 5-meal feeder that a couple of edges on the instructions label (large label that takes up most of the underside of the lid) were peeling up. I pushed the edges back down, set up the timer, and it worked like a charm ... at first. After a couple of feedings, I came in and saw that the hopper had only partially turned, but enough to give my dog access to the food. I happened to be home during the next feeding time, and went to take a look as it turned. It only made it about halfway, then got stuck and made a cranking noise as it kept attempting to turn. I opened the lid and saw that the label had come unpeeled and curled, sticking to the hopper as it tried to run. I just peeled off the entire label and taped it inside the cabinet door for next time I need it. I'm not sure if they're using a defective glue or if the summer heat during shipping was just too much for it. It's working fine now, but I would have been EXTREMELY upset if this happened during the overnight trip we bought the feeder for.Get more detail about PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder.

Buying Easy Step Pet Ramp


I bought these steps for my elderly cats, so the steps can easily accommodate their weight without a problem (they weight between 10-14 lbs). I do like that these steps are taller, so my cats can easily get up onto my taller bed. The problem with these particular steps is that they are angled downward, so when they crawl up and down the stairs, it throws off their balance. Try to imagine climbing up and down stairs yourself with the steps on an angle. Not exactly very safe. The steps should have been designed flat and on a right angle. I'm not sure what the purpose is for this design, but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose but to create problems for them. If I had to purchase steps again, I would not pick these. It's not worth my pets risking a potential fall and injury.Get more detail about Easy Step Pet Ramp.

Buy Andis 18455 14-Piece Pet Clipper Kit with DVD


I have a year old Schnauzer and her hair feels soft. But, I guess its too much for these clippers. I oiled like crazy but no matter how many times I ran the clipper over her back, it wouldn't clip all the hairs. So after 20 or so swipes over the same area, I decided to just be happy with a thinning effect. When she gets back from the groomer, her hair is all the same length, something these clippers aren't able to do.Get more detail about Andis 18455 14-Piece Pet Clipper Kit with DVD.

Lowest Price Pet Corrector Pet Behavioral Training Aid


When I bought this, I thought it was just compressed air, but it isn't. It contains HFC134A refrigerant...and yes, it's damaging to the environment and not entirely safe unless you take caution when using it.

Another product called the Pet convincer uses compressed co2 cartridges, so it is refillable and not dangerous nor is it damaging to the environment. The pet convincer costs more up front but the refill cartridges are cheap and plentiful.

I don't recommend the pet corrector unless you can't find the pet convincer anywhere. I bought both products and they both arrived in the last 2 days. I tried both and the pet convincer seemed to be more effective even though the Pet Corrector product gave off a much more powerful sounding hiss.

I think this product is basically the same as the compressed gas you can buy for cleaning computer keyboards and the pet corrector is more expensive than the typical can of "compressed air".

If you don't care about the potential danger of this product, it does seem to be effective. It seems to be a workable way to correct your dog from unwanted behavior, but I don't like the fact that it uses a refrigerant.

The 50 ml cannister is a very handy size and my big dissapointment stems from the fact that it's not compressed air as I thought when I ordered it.

Super Pet Hamster Come Along Small Carrier, Colors Vary Review


I bought this carrier as a Zhu-zhu pet carrier, rather than for a live pet. It actually works great as a toy carrier. It is very good looking and easy to open and close and holds four zhu-zhu pets with plenty of room for some small accessories. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5-stars is the fact that is isn't holding its shape. The carrier is starting to sag a little and nothing I can do will make it come back to its original shape. It isn't horrible, but it doesn't look quite as nice as it did originally.

I do have guinea pigs and this case will easily hold one of them, both of them if I need to take them somewhere quickly. I didn't have that same chemically smell as one reviewer wrote and I would absolutely buy it for my pets as a carrying case.Get more detail about Super Pet Hamster Come Along Small Carrier, Colors Vary.

Purchase Pet Supply Imports - Kitty Play Tunnel


Thanks to Kathleen's review of the PETCO Blue and White Kitty Crinkle Tunnel, I found this wider, cushier, expandable kitty play tunnel. My cat Tiger played in it constantly when I first bought it (April 2010) and can still be found sleeping in the felt-lined interior at times. I have two tunnels and one connector tee so he also likes to play with the ties that connect each part. My cat Turvy is not as excited about it but his form of play seems to involve me chasing him. So now I chase him through the tunnel where, upon exit, he attacks the scratching post on the kitty condo and waits for me to come pet/scratch/snorgle him. Tiger doesn't play in it as much these days so I'm not sure if he tires of new toys easily or if the hotter weather has something to do with it since the tunnel is lined. All in all, I am really glad I made the purchase. So much so, in fact, I am contemplating getting another connector tee and one or two more tunnels.Get more detail about Pet Supply Imports - Kitty Play Tunnel.

Order Stainless Steel Pet Drinking Fountain Raindrop Design


I have gone through three pet fountains well before their natural lifespan because the calcium and other sediment in our local water builds up so badly on the plastic that no amount of decalcification and cleaning will get it off. While it's theoretically no harm to our cat, it bothers me that it ends up looking so icky and that the plastic starts feeling rough. I've even tried using the water that's gone through our Brita filter, but either we forget to use it or the build-up just happens anyway. One of the fountains we had used in the past had a stainless steel track but a plastic reservoir. I thought that might help, and it did. The track was easy to clean and stayed nice, but the plastic bowl and reservoir got the same build-up.

After my most recent fountain started looking not-so-fresh, I decided to search again for a pet fountain. Finally, someone has made one of these fountains almost entirely out of stainless steel! I ordered it right away. In fact, I ordered it on Friday and it arrived on Sunday (yes, SUNDAY). Setup was very easy. The design is very elegant, and, thanks to the curves, there's no corners for things to get caught in. The stainless steel parts are incredibly easy to clean.

The only plastic part is the case enclosing the pump and the filter. It's a plastic clamshell piece. It's small enough that I think the calcification won't be as much of a problem with it. Also, it's hidden, so if it is just a matter of it not looking as nice, you aren't looking at it.

Best of all, this fountain operates silently. I know many of the fountains say this, but this one really does run silent. I think that is part of why my cat took to it right away. We usually had to wean him from one to another, but this one he went right up to and drank...no "break-in" period.

It's also just beautiful to look at. You could put this in your bathroom and guests would think it was one of those zen fountains instead of a pet fountain.Get more detail about Stainless Steel Pet Drinking Fountain Raindrop Design.
