Zack & Zoey Polyester Lil Honey Bear Dog Costume, Small, Brown


So cute!
The puppy looks so cute with this costume, is very soft and warm, it could be better if the honey pot could be fixed to the costume (velcro).
made very well
Particularly for the price. It is large for our puppy and she was too rambunctious at this time but it will be perfect by Halloween.
Cute Costume, but very specific fit
This costume was absolutely adorable, but you really need to pay attention to all of the measurements and really take your dogs shape into consideration. Probably the most awakward part were the legs of the costume. Would've much preferred if they were velcro instead.

Housewares International Ceramic Pet Food/Water Bowl with 'Princess' Inscription and Crown Logo, 6-Inch, Pink


Cute bowl.
I purchased this for my mini long haired doxie. I was looking for a bowl that said "diva" but this seems to be a good fit for her personality. She is spoiled rotten!
The bowl itself is cute and a bit bigger than I was expecting, but other than that I would recommend it.
OMG
I love these bowls...I ordered two for my granddog and she is THE princess in my home. She loves them too.

Zack & Zoey Acrylic Poinsettia Dog Sweater, Small/Medium, Black


Pretty Holiday Sweater
Very pretty, but going by seller's sizing it's still too big for my shih tzu mix and
she doesn't really like the binding behind dog's legs in the back. I shrunk it by letting
it sit in hot water and then put in the dryer...it's now the correct size :) Very pretty for
Christmastime wear.
Love the coat!
Very pretty coat-the detail on the back is very glittery, very pretty and nice and noticeable-well made too. I have a 14.5 lb bichon and got the small/medium. It is a bit big but ok-probably could have gone with a small. The best part about this coat is the colors for the holiday-the black against a white dog is lovely and the design on the back is big and sparkly enough to see well and make it a holiday sweater that is a bit different from all the green/red ones out there...we both love it!
Nice!
This is totally well made, is beautiful, and has survived one season with my kitty. She wears it proudly around the holidays, and is the toast of the season.

Dexas Popware for Pets Elevated Tandem Feeder Bowls with Legs, Medium, Brown/Green


Dexas Popware
Love this product! I bought this to have in our motorhome, perfect for traveling, easy storage, easy to clean. Wonderful product...highly recommend.
Perfect dish for home and travel
We are a Foreign Service family and move and travel often. This dish is perfect. It is high quality and folds down flat so that we can easily fit it into a suitcase. It is also better for our dog as it is an elevated dish. We use this as our dogs main food dish.
Perfect
I really like the color combo of this foldable feed bowl set. Its made just fine, easy to clean, easy to set up for travel but mostly we just use it for his every day set. Everything about it is just fine, it's just that our spaniel apparently doesn't like to eat his food out of such a deep dish. He won't eat if we put the food actually in the bowl. We actually thought he was sick. If I flatten the food side and put a shallow (3/4") bowl on it, he gobbles up his food just fine.

Pet Gear AT3 All-Terrain Pet Stroller for cats and dogs up to 60-pounds, Red Poppy


Broadens My Two Kitties Horizon
I purchased this for my two cats because they seemed bored being cooped up in the house all day and needed something other than my daily play sessions with them. I love the stroller, although one of my cats hasn't gotten use to it yet. The fat one didn't want to come out after I took him home.

I gave the unit a 4 because of the second Con and the fact that the first unit was defective due to how tightly they design the front.

Pros:
- Excellent size for two cats (one fat one and one normal size) - you can probably even get three normal-sized cats in it comfortably

- It's so easy to push, pull, and go up and down stairs with (I live on the 2nd floor) - there is a certain "give" in the wheels when going up and down stairs as if the unit had shocks - a very nice feature and feel.

- Has ample storage - tray holder, the under cab pocket, and the tray on the bottom under this pocket

- Ride is very smooth

- It's nice...
Great Pet Stroller
I just purchased the Pet Gear All Terrain Pet Stroller. I previously though that pet strollers were really silly products, but when I purchased a new puppy, I realized that I needed a stroller that would allow me to take the puppy along while I exercised my other dog. I highly recommend this stroller, the large wheels which easily turn in all directions makes it easy to manage one dog and the stroller. The entire unit moves across sidewalks and grass very smoothly so that jogging with any dog under 50 lbs is easy.The design has large compartments for water bottles, pets dishes and food, in addition to any articles that I want to take to the park. In addition, the pet compartment is roomy and well ventilated and has additional weather protection covers. My puppy could see everything through the large front and back panels and play with her toys. The only disadvantage is its size when folded. The stroller collapses and has good brakes, but the front wheel prevents the unit from...
We LOVE this thing!
I bought this for my beagle (show puppy), as we go to a lot of shows and when on the road, we like to go places... Well, it is so great that I now use it at the show too--we put his grooming equipment in the bottom tray, and he stands in the bed while I get him ready. Before and after the class, he just sleeps in his bed. So simple! I used to be the only one there with one of these, but now after a few shows, others are catching on, too.
My kids say that this stroller is better than the one I had for them when they were babies--and they are right. This is stable, easy to steer, etc.
Oh, and when I get another show beagle, she will fit in, too. Such a deal!
(Oh, and I paid full price for mine, so the Friday sale price is amazing!!!)

To Small
Good product ,I just ordered it way to small didn't size it properly.Needed a sizing chart or video to help.
Zack & Zoey Tomato Red Two Button Polo Shirt - Medium
I have ordered several of these polo shirts in a variety of sizes and colors. I typically order a medium because my ShihTzu Hampshire and my Shihkingnese Darby both wear a 16" medium.

Zack and Zoey are always true to size and they have the best sizing label in the industry. I've never had a problem with their garments--they always fit.

I especially love this tomato red two button Zack & Zoey polo shirt--the color simply pops! I also love the classic preppy polo look and the cotton weave.

I have ordered look alike brands that have squared hems with side slits, but I find that the cotton weave begins to pill after just one wash. Not so with Zack & Zoey.

Zack and Zoey also has a rounded hem that allows for potty breaks without wetting the hem of the garment. This is certainly a plus when you're traveling with your pet family.

There is nothing worse than a smelly urine saturated hem with clingy dirt and debris. With the other...

Platinum Pets Star Wars 3/4-Inch by 6-Feet Nylon Leash, Chewbacca Design


Chewbacca's leash
I bought this Chewbacca leash and the matching collar for my red cocker spaniel, because I love Star Wars and the color looks good on her. The leash is very lightweight. It looks like it's stitched, with rivets and Chewbacca tags stamped all along it, but that's all printed on. I like the look. If Chewbacca had a leash, this is what it would look like.
perfect
The description was very accurate and I would recommend this to any one. great for any one who has a Star wars fan in the family LOVED it!

JW Pet Company Clean Water Silo Waterer Bird Accessory, Regular (Colors Vary)


Not for all bird cages
We used this waterer with our old bird cage, and it worked just fine. Especially once we got the hang of how to flip it over without losing all the water in it! A really good feature is that the birds can't soil the water and yet they can still drink as if they were outdoors. The problem came when our finches began escaping the old cage, which had 5/8in bar spacing. We got a new cage with 3/8 in bar spacing, and this item didn't work with the narrower bars.
More water on floor than in bottle
When the bottle is filled and flipped over, the floating valve tends to get stuck and all the water leaks out. In addition, for such a simple device there are a multitude of parts. When I change my birds' water I want to rinse out the little reservoir as well as the bottle, so what's the point of removing the bottle separately? Sure, you can pull out the reservoir at the same time, but it's clumsy.
Love!
I love the fact that, once attached, you only need to remove the actual water container in order to clean or refill.

Dexas Popware for Pets Adjustable/Elevated Feeder Bowl, Purple


Excellent
This is our second Dexas elevated feeder bowl. We love to travel with our two Boxers and this is perfect for them. This feeder folds down to about 4" thick, so its great to put in a tote bag. When unfolded and open it can be adjusted from 8" to 13". With this wide range of adjustments, it's obvious this can be used with just about any breed of dog. They are built sturdy and should not pose any problem as far as collapsing mid meal or drink. I can't believe I waited this long to buy these!
Works great!
Folds up easily for travel, very sturdy when set up. Also cleans up easily. I'd recommend it for anyone who travels a lot
DEXAS POPWARE ELEVATED DOG DISHES
I bought this Elevated dog stand with two collaspable dishes, because, you can take it with you when you travel. Also I have a Tall German Shepherd, and the stand rise up to 13 inches, so she does not have to bend down. Also the dishes collaspe, and the table can be ajusted to fold down very small, so we can take her stand and dishes with us when we travel. OTHER WORDS IS, ITS PORTABLE. I recommend this DAXAS POPWARE DISHES AND STAND. Jim in Ohio

Ethical Mediterranean Double Diner, 1-Quart


The info you need
I wanted to give you the information that everyone else failed to mention. The dimensions of this product are 20"W x 9.5"D x 9.875"H. The bowls are 8.75" diameter x 3" deep and are a thin gauge stainless which can be easily dented, but for $23 I can't complain. This is good for medium to large dogs.

I do like the design of the frame which seems sturdy. You only have to slide the left and right legs into the tubing of the frame, set the bowls in (after washing of course) and you are done.

I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.

Razz
Nice stand and bowl set; 18" is LENGTH not HEIGHT!
The set is cast iron with stainless steel bowls and for the money is a great value. However, the quick description says 18 inch. One would assume naturally that is Height measurement but it is actually Length description. Furthermore, on the listing page if you look further down it says details and gives the dimensions of all the sets. For this particular set they have it listed as 4.5" in Height. However, our measurement assembled is 7 inches in Height. That's actually better for a larger dog (we have Belgian Tervuren's and my boy is 70 lbs. and 27" at the top of his shoulders)so we were happy for that matter. The dish is actually better suited for my female who was half his size and weighed 40lbs (we just lost her to bladder cancer). Other than that it's a great deal and looks nice on the floor as well.

For the sellers, it would be good if you listed your measurements appropriately noting that Height is the biggest factor in determining size for a dog. I would have given...
Disappointed...
I ordered these as an interim solution to growing puppies. These are much smaller than I expected. The base requires assembly. This set, however, was not created even. When I set it up, it wobbled. So, I switched the legs to the other sides; same results. The wobbling causes the water to spill easily. It's very easy for the pups to push around. That's not what I was looking for. The bigger set might be more sturdy. This set would be good for someone who has a small dog that isn't very strong.

Midwest Black Polyester Crate Cover for 42 Inch Wire Crates, 42 Inches by 28 Inches by 30 Inches


Does what it says.
It covered the kennel until she pulled it apart.

I agree with the other reviewer that it is flimsy material. It's like umbrella material. However, I knew this when I bought it. We have a husky/lab mix, she is about 40 pounds. We used it to help keep her quiet at night when she is supposed to sleep. It did it's job well for 2 months.

She would pick at the edges she could get and once she pulled enough the velcro that keeps the sides together (3 pieces on each corner side) would just easily pull apart. She pulled the entire thing in her kennel when we left last week for a few hours, and when we returned she was uncovered, and had literally ripped the entire front flap off the cover.

Yes, it is her fault, however, this could be made more sturdy. We know dogs chew, and are going to do whatever they find interesting. My suggestion would be to have the back completely stitched so there is no flap (our kennel has one door) and to have zippers on the...
Poor quality and poor fit
This product was poorly designed. A thin material that had velcro to attach the sides together. When the front or side was open as it was designed to be, the panel was placed across the top of the crate and exposing sloppy seams with lose threads all over. Furthermore, the fit was not exact. It was about 2 inches too short and didn't go to the ground to cover the entire crate.
I returned the product without any issues.
Great crate cover!
I have to say I am surprised at the poor reviews on this crate cover. I have two already and just ordered a third! I love them, They are light weight and easy to store. They clean up well and I love the Velcro corners. They fit the crates well and do everything I could ask of them! Great product!

Bamboo Combat Flying Calf Dog Toy (6 Inches)


Don't mistake this for the old, larger one
I suspect some of the reviewers are mistaking this new product for the no-longer-in-production larger frisbee. Bamboo used to make a 10" (or so) dog frisbee that was AWESOME. I've used a lot of different dog frisbees, and the old, bigger version of this was the best! However, for some unfortunate reason, they're not selling those anymore. Now they're selling these much smaller ones. They're too small and don't fly as well.

Bamboo, please bring back the original, larger version!!!
Awesome "Frisbee"-like disc!
My Border Collie LOVES this disc. A couple of years ago, I purchased two of these. The plastic "Frisbees" developed chew marks just from catching the disc, which caused her mouth to bleed after a short time of playing. These are soft but fly wonderfully for our purpose. I purchased two so that I would have a clean one all of the time; I put one in a lingerie bag and wash it with towels that have been used to dry my car. After washing, I shape it and put it outside to dry. Fantastic Toy! I waited this long to review as I wanted to put it "through the wringer"! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Pit Bull tough
Max, my Pit Bull rips every frisbee to shreds within an hour. Bamboo flying calf lasts about two years land float which is a real bonus. It's washer machine friendly, couldn't get by without theses frisbees. Excellent product.

Doggles Dog Goggles ILS Skull and Cross Bones Frame / Smoke Lens Large


I love them, but my dog doesn't.
Yay! I found a set of googles for my dogs to use when riding in my side car!
Great concept, but my pooches don't like the fact that they can't see out the sides. It kinda acts like blinders on a horse. I tried the original version and they have a slightly better field of vision.

Also, in keep an extra pair in my sidecar because the interchangeable lenses can slide out.

Training them to wear them can also be tricky. I've taught many clients dogs to wear them, but my GSDs can just pop them right off if not tightened properly.
Adorable!!
Fit perfectly on my two Pitties. The girls weren't crazy about them at first but with lots of praise and treats, they don't mind them. And we love keeping their eyes protected when they are enjoying the wind out of the car window and enjoying bright sunny days at the field and the lake.
Doggles!
I did like this product, however the lenses scratch very easily. They came early and they were wrapped very well. My dog doesn't really like them, so it's not too hard for her to get them off. We try to use them when she rides in the car, so she doesn't get debris in her eyes. I don't regret buying them, but I won't purchase another pair.

D.T. Systems Soft-Mouth Trainer Large 3-Inch by 12-Inch Plastic Dog Training Dummy, Blaze orange, 3-Pack


Best Labrador fetching dummy.
They can chew it up if you leave it out. They cannot break it with out a lot of really violent tug-O-War action. Lost one in the snow on a Mountain. My dogs love this toy. I buy a three pack because I have got them caught in trees. They fall out eventually.
Only one was chewed apart when my 15 month old got busy with it when she got bored.
Best made fetching trainer on the market.
I bought several look alike training bumpers from Petsmart, same price. All three lasted a total of 6 training sessions. They cracked up and fell apart. This bumper made by D.T. systems can take a beating. My two labs play tug of war with it and they have done little damage other than pull the lanyard I attach through the hole in the tab.
It works in the snow and Ice. It works in the desert heat.
If my big dogs can't pull it apart it is strong.
I do not let my dogs chew up toys so I advise trainers to take this away when the session is over. My dogs idolize this toy, they know it is their fun toy. I may not buy another for a long time, because they last a long time, and I bought a 3 pack.

Garmin Magnetic mount antenna


A *MUST* for long range use
Most of the time your dog will be nearby when hunting, but garmin made the exception knowing that you may have a quad runner or 4WD and the rubber duck will be woefully inadequate and kill off your range.

When I bought my Astro it was only doing about .3 miles in the CITY - I measured the power out of the transmitter and had to send it back for repair, which brought it to about .67 miles. That's with the unit in my hand out the window of the car to get a signal, so I bought this antenna.

Range is now 1.77 miles - almost 3 times what it used to be! and that is CITY usage - taking it to the country went well over 4 miles. If you use any sort of motor vehicle and let your dog(s) roam, this is a must to find them.

The fit and finish of this is very well done - it meets all my expectations and is designed around garmin's antenna interface.

I was surprised Amazon stocked this but very pleased they did. Recently alot of electronics have...
Excellent for long range
I have this antenna as well as the portable long range antenna from Garmin. I don't even bother with the antenna that comes on the unit. I get significantly farther range with this one over the portable antenna. It will still pick them up well after the portable antenna has lost communication. This is "must have" when driving around trying to find your pups. We've been almost 5 miles out and still tracking our dogs in rough country. You will definitely be glad you've added this to your inventory.
great product
I would have to give this a great review. While hunting with other guys and they loose the signal from their dogs they all come to my truck cause I will still have them picked up!

SportDOG 100-Acre In-Ground Pet Fence System, SDF-100A


Two different dogs two different stories!
I have two medium size mutts. Chase is laid back but loves to run and play and Rufus is a very timid and scared of alot.

First off let me say this make sure the range is adjusted on the box before putting the batteries in the collars. My husband was holding the collar in his hand inside the house (far away from the lines) and got shocked on the 5th level! Ouch! We readjusted the range to two feet from the line and truned the collar down to level 2 after that.I think the range came out of the box set on 40 feet

I took chase out on a leash and let him lead me to the perimiter rather than me taking him over there and tossing a toy or treat across the line like youre instructed too. It only took him 2 times of trying to cross over the fence before he realized that he didnt wanna go anywhere near those flags. He LOVES playing fetch but you better believe if that ball goes NEAR that fence he will NOT even try to go get it! We did have one incident the other day where...

Flexi Durabelt Retractable Belt Dog Leash, Extra Small, 10-Feet Long, Supports up to 18-Pound, Black


The quality is incredible
I can't believe how good this product is. The push button looks like its from a batman movie. The rope is very wide and strong. My rottweiler is 130 but he is much stronger than most 160 pound dogs. He is aggressive and I need the rope to return fast and this product leaves me at ease.
Quality Product
Not much to say really. It's a dog leash that hasn't broken yet and is doing the job well. It is exactly what I wanted.
Pink with BLACK belt
I have an identical one in black that I bought at least 3 years ago and is still working great after walks with a 100+lb dog. I got this for my smaller 75lb dog. Flexi brand has several products that look similar and when you are shopping for them this makes it really hard to select one. This leash has 'classic compact 3' stamped into the plastic housing and back when i bought the first one that is how it was listed but now flexi seems to be calling this same leash 'Durabelt'. This is further confused on amazon where some are listed under names that don't match the product photo or the packaging. The housing part of the leash matches the product pictured at the time of review however the belt is black on mine and the item pictured at the time I purchased showed a pink belt along with the pink housing.
I feel this is one of their more solid leashes and although it is large it does feel more compact than other models. For some reason it feels a little lighter than my other leash...

These shirts are adorable!!!!! The buttons are on the right side (On the chest, not the back of the neck as most!) and they actually work! It is a mini, fully functional Polo. On issues though. I ordered 3 colors for my Chihuahua in the same size (small) and got 3 different sized polos with (small) labels. Great little polos, but be prepared for variations in sizes.
Excellent Quality, Good Fit
I have two Westie-Doodles, each weighing between 13 and 15 pounds. They are 12 inches at the shoulder, and about 15 inches from chest to tail. I dress my dogs to protect them from rain and snow because they don't have a fur coat, and because they look adorable with the right clothing. These shirts look adorable on them! The shirts are sturdy enough to handle wrestling matches at the dog park without being torn. The collar stays true and crisp, and the shirts launder well. I will purchase another set of shirts when and if these ever wear out.
True to size
Ordered this for my petite Morkie, and it was too small(which was my fault because I assumed he could fit XS although his measurements were closer to small). Bought 3 more in size small and LOVE them! Color is vibrant, and it is made of the same material as a quality human Polo. Love that my boy can pee without wetting his shirt. Buy it!!!

Ruffwear Highlands Bed, Granite Gray


nice backpacking dog bed
This ruff wear highlands dog bed is very useful when hiking and camping. I use this on mountian backpacking , so my dog has a nice bed to sleep on instead of laying on the ground. It is warm and packs up small because my dog carry's his own bed and food ,water' etc. Plus he like's it. I love this product and other ruff wear products
Great Portable Bed
I use this for camping and for traveling. I also use it when I take my dog to someone else's house so that he has someplace "safe" to go to. It is very light weight. It's easy to roll it up. The instructions on it say that you can tumble it in the dryer for a few minutes to fluff it up.
Excellent!!
Another great product from Ruffwear. I used this recently on a camping trip. My dog loved it. It packs light and works as advertised.

NCAA Rutgers Scarlet Knights Dog Collar (Team Color, Small)


My dog loves it!
Good quality collar that is easy to adjust and clips securely. The team logo is perfect and my dog is happy to show his Rutgers pride.
Rutgers dog collar made the day
This was great. Our dog is a golden retriever rescue and they had their annual fundraiser and the theme was favorite sports teams so our buddy was dressed in Rutgers from head to toe and looked amazing. The collar and leash were perfect for the outfit and went well with his bandana and Rutgers t-shirt. It is really nicely made and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for any of the sports teams that you carry

Penn Plax Spongebob's Pineapple Home Ornament


buyer beware if you actually care about your fish
I bought this item to place in my 20g tank.
The quality of the manufacturing isn't ideal, and the product can certainly harm your fish. The harm would come from the areas around where the door and window openings are formed into the body, as well as the rim around the bottom... In all those areas, the material seems to have been cut with a hot knife or some other type of thermal cutting tool, sharp plastic slag and edges on the interior where fish (especially if they have flowing fins like Bettas or goldfish) can harm themselves either by shredding the fins or damaging scales.....

I used fine sandpaper and steelwool to polish the sharp edges, and after a through cleaning placed the house into my tank.

the house looks good in the tank with a sand bottom.... but, there will be some modification you will have to do since this product is obviously mass produced with little attention to final quality.
Really cute for my female betta fish
I was out Christmas shopping for my four bettas when I came across the Spongebob Squarepants pineapple house. I couldn't help myself but buy if for my female crowntail betta fish Syn. Syn loves it. The size of the windows are a perfect size. Syn swims through the holes with ease. She also likes to rest in it. I think it was well worth the $10 I spent on it.
Fish Love It
Bought 2 pineapple houses for my two beta fish. They love it! They swim in and out of the windows and doors all the time. Then they will swim half way through a window and park there. I love watching them do this. If you love your fish, get them a pineapple house of their own.

Lucky Champ Litter Champ Premium Pet Waste and Odor Disposal System, Taupe


Litter Champ replacing our Litter Lockers! No turning required A++
So far so good. Started using the Litter Champ 5 days ago and still haven't had to change the bag. We've used Litter Lockers for 2 yrs and with the Litter Champ you instantly enjoy the EASE of use. No turning of the handle, no touching the lid to lift like you have to with the Litter Locker.

PROS - CLEANER than Litter Locker, no turning required of the unit, don't have to touch the lid. Haven't noticed any odor from the bags - the fragrance mentioned in a previous review is extremely faint.

CONS - the magnet for the scoop is only on ONE side....we can't turn the unit to sit in our bathroom because the magnet faces the side we need to have flush with the wall. Bad design oversight on their part. I can probably super glue another magnet to the other side to remedy the problem.

The litter locker's main problem is having to rotate the large handle in the middle. Sometimes the bag slips off the turn shaft or when taking the bag out it snags and tears...
Love Those Indoor Cats, BUT....
We have three indoor cats and our cat boxes are kept in an area that human's dwell as well, so it has been a challenge to find a litter disposal system that works to keep the smell at a minimum.

I'm happy to report that this product works quite well and has done an outstanding job controlling the odor. The bag (while expensive to replace) is easy to change and the foot pedal to open the can works well.

This product would get a five star rating if the scoop were more sturdy or the opening was larger (to allow other scoops to be used). Because the opening in the can is sized for the provided scoop and you actually push it open to deposit the litter, you have to use their scoop. We've resorted to using our large metal scoop to loosen everything up, then use the plastic scoop to try and minimize the risk of the handle snapping.

Overall, it is a very good product and easy to use. While the bags are expensive to replace, we've had it about a month and...
Litter Chump
While better than just dumping litter into a bag, this product is inferior to Litter Locker products. First, the foot lever doesn't open the canister, but a lid over a rigid flap. To open the rigid flap in order to dispose of feces, you have to push down on it with the scoop that is full of feces and the bottom of which was also in the litter pan. This means the flap is contaminated--this is not a touch-free system. Second, the interior of the canister picked up the smell of feces on the very first use, so the unit smells even when it's empty. Because the bottom of the interior of the canister is not raised at the circumference (that is, it's not concave), you can't add a layer baking soda to decrease the smell. That's not odor free. Third, essentially you're just filling a bag with feces. This bag is quite heavy and really needs to be cut and tied off before it's so full that you can't use the interior cutter. You can use scissors, but the idea is that this is supposed to make life...

IRIS Pet Food Scoop, 2 Cups, Clear


handle should be solid
This is useful and works fine for the price... I use this daily to scoop my pup's food and it works for that but I wish the handle were solid because what happens sometimes is food gets in the handle part and when I tip it over to her food bowl, some kibble from the handle rolls away, missing the bowl. Totally can deal with it and use it, but something to be aware of.
Low price, great scoop
We buy our dog food, cat food and cat litter in bulk to save money and store them in the Vittles Vault II 40-Pound Clear Base Cranite Top. This scoop is a tiny bit large for those particular containers, you have to tip it back a bit to get it out, but it's not a big deal. Our dog is on a diet, so having the measurements on the scoop is extremely helpful. It's made of durable plastic, this won't break if you drop it. It's a great little scoop, especially considering the low low price and free shipping. Worth it!
Decent product
Helpful in measuring our puppy's food. Problem was, the handle is too long to pull it cleanly through the top of our dog food container (vittle vault) so we have to tilt it and some food falls out. I would suggest to others with a sealable container to purchase a scoop that is deeper and not to long. Other than that, great product and perfect for its purpose!

Alfie Couture Designer Pet Apparel - Superhero Costume Superman - Size: XS


Love it!!!!!!!!!
I have a 10 lbs terrier mix (2 yrs old) and S fits her perfectly!!!!! Love it and going to save it for the coming Halloween!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!
SO CUTE!!!
We bought this well in advance of Halloween to make sure we got it. We bought a XS and have a Maltese that is about 8lbs. We could have maybe order the S and it would have been a little long on his legs, but still soooo cute! The quality for the price was great. I have bought crappy kids costumes for way more. Two thumbs up! The reason that I gave 4 stars was it was hard to know what size to buy they should include better info so you can make a educated decision. I would order again.
Cute
This superman outfit is so cute. The order arrived fast and in very good condition. My only complain is the sizing. I ordered a medium for our 18 lbs Maltese-chihuahua and it barely fit her. We could have ordered a large one but the medium looks ok, not perfect. It just gets burried in her long hair.

Garmin Astro 320 GPS Tracker for Sporting Dogs (Bundle, US)


As good as the previous Astros but not better
I purchased this to replace a 200 model. It works just as well but not any better than the previous model in that you can always follow the arrows to find your dog but the compass seems to have trouble staying oriented to the north. I am needing to recalibrate often the so called 3rd axis where you can read it with it vertical is no better than the old one. All in all if you need a dog location device the Garmin Astros are the best on the market but save some money and get the previous model. If you are like me and had an older model the upgrade is not worth it wait for another upgrade.
Wonderful product for working dogs
Update- August, 2013.

I purchased tracking collars for my other two dogs and am glad I did. I use the collars every day, whenever we go out trail running or hiking. Great investment. Not only do I know where my dogs are at all times, but it is fun to see how far each dog travels. I have started training my youngest dog for Search and Rescue (SAR)- avalanche and wilderness. It is very useful for training- I know where the dog is, where she has been, and how well she may have searched and area. Perfect working application. All in all, this product has worked very well so far- with daily use for almost a year. It was a costly first investment, but well worth it.

Original Review-

I finally bought this product on sale at REI after I (for not the first time) lost track of my husky, but this time he ended up following someone home and nearly ended up at Animal Control. I employed my tracking dog to find him, and did- but it was a bad situation. I thought I...
Good product and improving concept. Still needs LOTS of work
I purchased this product to put on my beagles. It is a little bulky and Garmin has had some issues with the antenna and signal strength.

The birdseye imagery (which is what makes this unit awesome) really sucks because of the download speed cap. It is so frustrating it makes me not like the actual product a little bit.

Signal loss is a huge issue!! For advertising 13 miles with the extended antenna only consitently delivering 1 to 2 miles is really a crappy thing to do. I did get one read in perfect conditions standing on a mountain at 4.14 miles but that was only for a second and then it quit.

Still its an ABOVE average GPS stand alone system with lots of capabilities and keeping track of dogs is really easy even if the bulky makes iit difficult for the dogs.

Worth every penny to keep the dogs safe and be able to use topo maps and birdseye with it makes it fun to use as well.

PS. FOR 600 BUCKS MAPS SHOULD BE FREE!!! when you...

Doggles Dog Flotation Jacket, Small, Yellow


Flotation Jacket for Teacup
It is extremely well made and very cute. I thought it would actually help my daughter's teacup float but the floatation jacket doesn't really have enough flotation, which means the dog cannot really float, it still has to paddle very fast to stay above water and she gets tired. It doesn't really work as well as I expected. The little head rest could have been great, but the dog turns its head sideways immediately, because it gets annoyed with it, so it serves no purpose. Just to let you know the dog weighs 4lbs.
XXS fits my 5 lb chihuahua
The XXS fits my 6 lb chihuahua well. The neck floatation part is a little bit off to the side on her but it seems like it will still do its job (haven't got her in the water yet though). For info if you're trying to fit your small dog, she's 14.5 inches in girth, 6 lbs, and 10 inches from neck to tail. The neck hole on this doesn't constrain her which is good because she's old and not too flexible anymore. The handle picks her up well and doesn't seem uncomfortable for her. It's not a totally perfect fit, but at her teeny size it seems like it would be really hard to fit all dogs perfectly with one jacket, and aside from making her a custom jacket, this is probably the best for her.
Good quality
The quality of this jacketis great. I ordered mine according to my dog's length, so it fitted too large. I recommend you to fit the with of the chest better.

Alfie Couture Designer Pet Accessory - Vince Sailor Harness and Leash Set - Color: Blue, Size: M


my nyc shih tzu
looks great in this harness set it looks so couture too.im so glad i ordered this item ,so cute for my baby boy.
striped sizing off
The sizing is bigger than any other brand. I really have to pull the velcro part tight to keep it on him. He pulls his arms out of the holes and gets stuck in the vest.

I give it a 4 because I still love the desing of the product. It is adorable and well made.
Many compliments!
Got the extra large for 8 week old Golden Retriever puppy. Had to return small size. Velcro strap allows dog to wear it even if its a little big. My puppy is growing into it ( he's 12 weeks) and soon we will be donating it to a little friend! So many inquiries as to where I got it. We live on the water in condo, so it's perfect!

Casual Canine Polyester The North Paw Puffy Dog Vest, Medium, Black


Minimal padding.
I purchased this because I have a short hair dog, and I live in New England. It gets very cold here, and he will often shiver. There is so little poly-fill in this, that it's pretty much useless. I actually took it apart and put in more poly-fill. I also put in a small opening between the collar and the body for my dog's leash to go through so when he's on his leash it doesn't pull the collar of the coat off his neck.

This is good if you live in an area where it gets mildly chilly, but if you live where you might see penguins on snow drifts.. look for something better.

Or if you are looking for "my dog looks cute in it" more than "practical and useful" you might like this.
Very warm
The vest is very warm which is great. The workmanship is superb with tight stitches that don't tear and plenty of Velcro on the underside. I did need to shorten the length to fit my terrier mix that weighs 12 lbs, but is a long dog, thus needing this size vest. Highly recommend this company.

Mini Bobble Head Dog Bichon Frise


Missy Angelique on The Airplane Dash
I bought a 1978 Piper Warrior II Single Engine Airplane. The seller had a hula hula girl bobble head on the dash, and he kept it. Since we have a bichon frize - Missy Angelique - I was looking for a bobble head to put on the dash of my airplane, and this fit the bill to a tea. She even has her head cocked to one side looking at me as I fly. I love it. Arrived in perfect condition. I bought a stick on velcro kit to attach her to the dash. Works great... great conversation piece. Thank you.
