Dogs

Review by Amy D.:

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3Q9UN9LG95VHB After seeing these “hide-a-squirrel” and egg babies toys for a while, I just couldn’t picture my 40lb boxer mix puppy (13 months) doing anything but tearing it up and swallowing the eggs. But she doesn’t. She gets the eggs out, sets them aside, and looks for more. Once the eggs are out, there’s really no stuffing to worry about (except the head, but she’s not interested in that part). She did get a LITTLE batting out of the cavity where the eggs go – but the seam stayed in tact. If you’re having a hard time picturing what these are all about, see the video!

Review by Ranty:

Your dog will love this. You should follow the instructions and show him how to get the squeaky eggs out without destroying it, and then it will last quite a while, even with a heavy chewer like ours. If your dog is one of those ones that instantly tries to destroy anything soft, this won’t hold up, but if he’s just a player, this will last a while.

Review by J. Chen:

If you have a medium sized doggie and are looking for a crate because you live in an apartment, this particular model is a good choice. Crate training is amazingly simple (just don’t use it for punishment–make it a happy experience when your puppy go into his crate). We have been using this for two months, and he takes to it easily.

1. Easy to put together and fold away. Solid black e-coat steel wire, conjoined with small metal plates with welded corners facing out. It comes with a slightly smaller divider that you can hook to the insides of the crate. As our puppy got bigger, we moved the divider and eventually removed it.

2. The two doors (one on the long end is off-centered) are not removable and opens only one way so it’s not omni-directional when you place it in tight spaces. You may want to check out some crates with three doors if so.

3. The bottom tray is made of black-composite plastic material, easy to wipe clean and slide out from under the short end of the door.

4. I like the double latch, but some people may find it a little more work to open and close day-to-day.

5. If you buy a crate cover, check out Cratewear Pet Dreams 3-Piece (which fits this model well, but only work with the door on the short end).

6. For this price, it’s a good crate to highly consider because your goal is to have a sanctuary for your puppy (for time out and quiet-time) and to housebreak your dog and/or temperate from negative behavior (such as chewing furniture, etc.)

I hope this review is helpful for you.

Review by voodoo:

I purchased this crate from Petsmart for my newly adopted dog. They size these crates based on dog weight, but I would measure your dog to make sure they fit.

My dog is less than 45 lbs, but his head touches the top of this crate when he sits up. He has room to lay down, but he can’t really stretch out. I am ordering the next size up from Amazon for him however, and will use this one as a travel crate.

It set up in less than a minute, and everything works very well on it. The crate seems very sturdy and I’ve had no problems at all.

Review by Erica Marshall:

I have a 80 pound lab mix dog who loves nothing more than chasing a frisbee in our backyard. The problem is, while bringing it back he chomps on it so hard that he either cracks the harder plastic frisbees or his teeth just pierce right through the softer plastic ones. This Kong frisbee is different, though. It’s made of rubber instead of plastic, so it squishes rather than cracks when the force of his teeth is applied. Of course, this also makes it much easier on his teeth, but I worried about whether it would last. I bought it, though, since it was not much more expensive than the plastic ones I knew he’d destory.

After a half-hour of playing there was no visible wear on the frisbee, so I left it out in the yard. It’s been out there for over 2 weeks now and we’ve played with it every day. There are a few (seriously) tiny tears in it -nothing I’m too concerned about. If and when this frisbee wears out I’ll definitely buy another one!

Review by Chipiparuba:

Flying disks are thin, and as such No-one will ever make an indestructible dog frisbee-that’s just the nature of a frisbee. Having said this the Kong flyer outlasts other disks ten to one.

Prows:

* Very durable should last much longer than any other disk

* The soft rubber won’t cut your dogs mouth when caught (especially important for smaller dogs or dogs just learning to catch disks)

Cons:

* It’s floppy, and doesn’t fly the same as a rigid disk (they still fly quite well especially with a little practice)

* A bit more spendy (When considering the average life-span of other dog frisbees the few extra bucks is well worth it.)

Review by G. Reid:

Frontline Plus is the best way to keep fleas and ticks off your dog. It is applied once per month in about 3 minutes. It seems to have little or no side effects on the dog. It has been used for many years on dogs without problems. I checked all products and asked various vets and everyone agrees that Frontline Plus is the best way to keep ticks and fleas off your dog. The Plus even kills the flea eggs.

Review by K. Hill:

My dog is a Chow mix and very furry. Ticks are impossible to find under her two layered coat until it’s too late. At first, I tried cheaper brands. They work on ticks but do nothing for fleas. Then my vet recommended Frontline. I later tried K9 Advantix since they claim to also kill mosquitos, but I didn’t notice any difference with the little bloodsuckers. And the protection from K9 Advantix didn’t seem to last as long so I switched back to Frontline.

Frontline works great for us. My dog is an outdoor dog and our county reportedly has more deer than people. And with deer come deer ticks. I’ve seen deer in my back yard and my dog’s house is very near the woods for shade. And she likes to take the occasional jaunt through the woods. Still I rarely find a tick on her. And when I do, they’re usually dead (or soon will be).

I wish I’d known Amazon was selling Frontline for a better price sooner. I’ve been purchasing only 3 months worth for about from another site for the last 2 years. Very frustrating since before you know it, you’re out. With 6 months worth I only have to remember 2 times a year instead of 4.

Review by yanosan:

These bags are plain old plastic with a chemical catalyst (heavy metals like Cobalt and Lead) that are supposed to help the plastic break down…into millions of pieces of plastic. This is not biodegradation.

These do not meet the ASTM 6400-99 specification for biodegradability. They do not meet the California requirement for use of the term biodegradable.

Buyer beware.

Review by J. Decker:

The bags are a bit thin and will tear if you are not careful. However, they get the job done, and you really can’t beat the price. I would order them again. The dispenser is nothing to brag about, but I was ordering these to fill a dispenser I had so I just chucked the free one.
