I have 2 cats and a dog; the dog loves to dig in the cat box and make a mess; with the top entry the dog can't get in so the area around the box stays clean, also the dog cannot drag or eat cat feces. The cats like the privacy the box offers, no getting scared and jumping out if someone is close to their space. My cats are 12 and 15 years old and have no problem jumping in and out.

I spent a lot of time reading reviews before purchasing this item, and I'm glad I did. The people that had negative experiences expected it to perform above what it is capable of. If you know what you're getting into, this will work very well for you. If not you will be disappointed. Been using this since x-mas, here's what I've learned...- have 2 cats, the cartridge will last 2 weeks max.- cartridges are between 15-20 bucks each, so expect that expense- it does scoop very well, but you do need to take a look at it once in a while to make sure it's ok- even if it's not full of poop once the crystals are saturated with pee they will start to stink- you do need to do a little extra cleaning when you change the cartridge just to keep the rake and housing clean. if you let it get disgusting it's going to break someday- the 'cartridges' are just cardboard boxes with a little hatch to keep the poop in, nothing special. the crystals are what costs $.- the crystals aren't that great (and some do get tracked out of the box that need to be swept up), but they're better that the mushroom cloud that was created when pouring my old 'clumping' litter.So - if your expectations are in line with how the thing works, and you are willing to spend a little more for a little less work, you should be happy.

This collar is great. I have had one previous and it lasted well over 5 yrs. This is the best and humane way to stop barking dogs who bark too much... I use mine every day but do not leave on at night or for extended time. A great tool when company is coming also. I highly advise anyone to use this item if needed.

I was very happy to be able to purchase this replacement plastic door on-line. That being said, I was surprised that the original wore out like it did. So..... 5 stars for being able to replace it. 3 stars for the product itself.

My two chihuahuas are very spoiled and will only eat the finest (and smelliest!) treats. I was looking for some variety from their usual freeze dried liver and chicken breasts and found these sausages at the local pet store. I grabbed one of the Grammy's Pot Pie because who doesn't like chicken! I cut it into little pieces (one sausage will last my boys at least 4 servings each) and gave them some as a bedtime snack...they nearly broke out of their beds to get more! They look very good and you can see the vegetables in them. I feel confident giving Merrick treats due to their outstanding quality and these are no different. I would reccomend these to any picky pooch!

My only hesitation in purchasing this product was the litany of complaints about the confounding system to program it. The system *is* totally craptastic and seems like something you'd have found cutting-edge in the mid-eighties. I mean, it's just not intuitive AT ALL and is hindered by a few quirky limitations (like the portion size has to be the same for all feedings). However, any patient, intelligent person can follow the directions and have LeBistro up and running in no time. I spent about 15 minutes programming it.The plus side--and this is a HUGE plus for me--is that my cat no longer begs me for food. He used to spend a good portion of the day meowing at me in anticipation of his next feeding (particularly annoying in the morning). Now he gets the same amount of food, but doesn't waste any time yelling at me like he's starving to death or tangling himself up in my feet every time I walk toward the kitchen. He seems more playful and less stressed out because he knows his food is coming on a punctual schedule and he doesn't need to lobby me for it.I'd love to free-feed my cat, but I can't because he'd turn into a furry blimp so this was a great solution for the attendant annoyances of portion-control. Honestly, I wish I'd made the investment long ago.

Thank god for this. I simply detest cleaning the litter box, and recently, my cat began to protest and poop outside his normal, hooded box. I decided to see if this box would make it easier for me to clean and therefore, make my cat happier. It worked!!I empty it every day and it's fun and easy to do. Better yet, I no longer have to pick up cat poop from the bathroom rug!

The Nylabone brand is great for dogs who are strong chewers. All 3 of my dogs love this bone and it takes them a very long time to finish it. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a dog that normally destroys all their toys.

I bought two of these and plugged them in to an extension cord with a splitter, which some reviews said wouldn't happen. The first thing I did when I put them in the tank was to accidentally pin my female beta, who is not to bright, under one. She almost drowned, so take care not to pin a fish while digging this heater under the gravel. :P For the first 12 hours they seemed to be doing absolutely nothing, but 24 hours in I can tell that the water is notably toastier than our chilly house, and the betas are the pictures of perky fish happiness. Both had been suffering from the cold, and their turn-around is amazing. Each heater is in a 1 gallon bowl, the house is at 60 F, and the bowls are at least 70. Excellent solution for chilly betas.

My dog is a 4 year old maltese (10lbs) and I've been struggling with his marking/little accidents for pretty much as long as I've had him. I've tried other (larger) pens, belly bands, and couldn't crate him because I'm out of the house for so many hours in the day. This pen is the ONLY thing that has worked!! Its the perfect size for a small bed, a wee wee pad, and bowl of water/food, with walking room to spare. My dog actually loves hanging out in there too. It's enclosed enough to be his "safe place" and large enough so that I don't feel bad keeping him in there. The door is a great touch and allow easy entry and exit, most pens don't have doors. Its also really easy to take the pen apart for storage, which I have to do due to the lack of space in my small apartment. Excellent price too, can't say enough about this item.Only minor issue is that its pretty light and some days I find that my dog has moved the whole pen half way across the room. This is a small issue, which I'm sure can be easily solved by weighting the pen down.

My cat is in love with the Love Glove Grooming Mitt! At least once, and sometimes twice a day, she gets her grooming massage with the glove and she loves every minute of it. It's better than catnip in her mind. To anyone who owns a cat with either long or short hair, please buy a Love Glove for your pet. You'll make them very happy.

Fantastic product. This is our 3rd leash in 2 years for our dog. The first one she ate (our fault)and the second one (not this brand or type) stopped raveling back up into the case. So, I ordered this one and it is working well so far and does not seem to be easy for her to chew through it. The attached bag holder is wonderful and eliminates the need to remember a bag everytime we venture out. It shows my neighbors that we are "responsible" dog owners.

My dog loves Dogswell sweet potato chews, which I recently learned are made in China. I had hoped that these Sam's Yams would make a good substitute. However, these are much tougher, really like rawhide, and my cockapoo has no interest in the product. I'm not even sure she realizes that it is something to eat. Maybe it would appeal to a larger dog that enjoys chewing.

My ten year old Siberian Husky is very active and needs frequent walks. There are times when I must leave her at home for a few hours, and this bone seems to give her something to occupy her time while we are out. I would not advise leaving a dog unsupervised with a bone, but she seems to spend most of her time trying to get at all of the peanut butter and just gnaws on the bone as Huskies love to do. We only give our dog "Made in USA" products since the melamite scare. If your dog tends to splinter bones, keep an eye on her while chewing. That said, there is no treat that equals this for my crazed Husky!

My cat is about 4 years old. She did good at first but once I cut the first hole she wanted nothing to do with it. I caught her peeing in the sink and after she couldn't hold it any longer (3rd day no poop), she did it on my couch. The only way I think this could work is if you are able to block all furniture and constantly watch the cat to correct her when it makes a mistake. I'm back to the litter box again. Glad it wasn't that expensive.

I thought it was a good product from the picture, but the assembly "without tools" was cumbersome and not very precise on the corners. Also, the velcro couldn't hold that much and must of the time my 30 lb dog was half way on the floor. My dog started chewing on it and that was the end, I presume he didn't like it either. Also the shipment took forever.

I have two medium size dogs. Large size of this product is perfect for them.Assembly was very simple. After the whole assembly, we found some gap in the flooring. This is the only reason I rated this product with 4 stars. I covered that gap by putting vinyl flooring on top of that. There are snakes in our area so it was necessary to cover the gap. Otherwise, it is an excellent product. Great outdoor decor. Our dogs love it.I will highly recommend this product to all the pet owners.

I bought this to keep our Labrador from chewing on house plants, a cedar chest, the baseboards, his bed, and the door mat. I saturated the stuff after a few sprays didn't work. The house plants are mangled, the cedar chest needs repair, his bed has holes in it, and the mat is ripped to shreds. It adds a zesty flavor to the stuff he likes to chew.He's teething and he's bored. The only things that have worked are keeping everything away from him, a constant eye on him, and keeping him busy. New toys are helpful. Grannick's Bitter Apple, not so much.

This is far and away my dogs favorite toy, and we play with it daily in the backyard. I tread water in the pool, and throw it across the yard. She brings it back to me, sets it by the pool, and sprints to the other side of the yard for the next throw. It helps us both stay fit, and give us great funtime together. I love me Ginger, and the Jivin Jack......

Works great.No details to add here - probably lots of reviews say the same thing - attracts fur, sticks to it like a magnet. Doesn't seem to pull the hair out at all, so I really believe it's collecting fur that would have fallen out anyway.THE THING IS:If you have a dog and a cat (we do), don't get both cat-zoomgroom and dog-zoomgroom. I did and foudn the cat zoomgroom prongs are only slightly closer together than the dog ones. not enough to matter imo. waste of money to get both. If you get one, as I did, and find it's working fine, DON'T buy the other one. One is fine.Bottom line, imo:GREAT product to reduce fur around the house.Somewhat predatory marketing to have 'two sizes'. One is enough.Otherwise, highly recommended to get one. Love it.- pb

I have a dog who considers it her personal mission to destroy any dog toy she encounters (Black Lab/German Shepherd). This toy has been ideal for her for two reasons:1) It is shaped like the woodland creature she would most like to catch, yet never can.2) As far as plush toys go, this is the most durable toy I have ever come across. No plush toy will be indestructible due to the inherent nature of being made of stitched fabric. This toy has durable fabric, and the stitching is quite strong.I can also attest to its durability because one evening my husband was looking for something to shoot out of his cannon and chose this dog toy. I can attest to the fact that it came out of the ordeal with no more than a singed tail.Even if your dog is destructive and manages to tear this thing apart (mine has only managed to make it look mangy), I think you will get your money's worth out of it. I will keep buying them as long as they keep selling them.

Ordered this for the backseat of my Kia Sorento. It does not quite fit perfectly, and is a bit bunched at the top around the headrests. But overall it works great and helps to protect my leather seats. Dogs had to adjust to the new surface at first - easier for them to slide around but they are buckled in with a harness so this is not a major problem. Would buy again.

In my estimation, the Premier Squirrel Dude is the best designed treat filled toy. The plastic is strong enough to withstand strong and extensive chewing and the hole which has three little teeth (that can be trimmed if necessary) keeps all kinds of kibble treats from just falling out. With other toys like this I had to resort to expensive fillers or high fat substances (like peanut butter) to keep our Jack Russell from emptying the toy too quickly.

Reviewing a cat food seems... I dunno, a bit strange and obsessive. Still, our MC Cleo likes her crunchies---she's a slave to crunchies of any kind. But for some reason, this particular brand and type are the cat's pajamas. She'll do anything at all for "Formula 31" crunchies and has been known the gnaw the bag if it is left out. The kibble is a bit larger than average. Who knows if it is actually better for her? But she eats it like a lion.

LambertKay has discontinued making the Fresh'n clean unscented shampoo for dogs. Yet the sellers on Amazon continue to display the image of the discontinued item. Based on the image and description given, I purchased what I thought was the unscented shampoo. What I received was different from what I was led to believe was accurate.Fortunately, the seller agreed to refund the purchase price and the shipping charges via Amazon, and rather than pay for return shipping, said I could keep the product and donate it to someone else.I do not know if Amazon or the seller is responsible for setting up the imagery and descriptions for products they list, but I think someone should be held responsible.I have used this product before and would have given it a five-star review.

We're on our fourth rake for this product, which is woefully lacking in any kind of design work. Littermaid's customer support lacks as well. We are on our fourth rake -- the wheels constantly break off and at $30 per replacement rake and the headache involved in cleaning this absolute piece of cr*p device makes it a "zero star" in my book. We've unplugged it and now use it as a $100 manual cat box.Did I mention that Littermaid's support sucks? Their response to the constantly failing rake wheels? "You'll need to buy another one from us..."

works well. hard to tell if she pulls me or the other way around sometimes but she responds well to the gentle retrating tug. was initially worried it would add to much length but seems just fine. use it with the belt lead and really enjoy running and hiking with my pup so much more. She was pretty good on a lead to begin with and I think that helped transition to the belt lead. Saw another runner yesterday using the lunge-buster with a regular lead and the pup seemed to respond well despite a few lunges while we were watching.

As the other reviews state, these things are quite pungent. We keep them in a ziploc bag and it does a good job of holding the smell in. Our dog loves, them, though, and they last many times longer than some of the cheap chews that we've gotten. We'll be purchasing more of these in a month or two, once our dog gets through this bag.

I've been using this for over a year. I have 2 cats, 8+ years old, m & f. I read the negative reviews first, and it seems these reviewers expect instant results. At first, I expected quick results, but found if I waited longer, say 2 to 3 weeks, the stain disappeared. Remember, it is based on urp/fecal/urine munching bacteria, so it can take some time. A friend that has cats uses Resolve or Woolite (the Oxy-Clean ones) and wants results quickly, but I've noticed that K&P does a better job over time - and without the potentially dangerous chemicals.

I bought this product to remove an odor from an area where my cat had peed. The first time, I don't think I saturated the area enough at it didn't work. It did work the second time (after using A LOT), but it left behind it's own odor. It definitely has a fragrant scent, but not one I'm fond of. Had to cover it up with regular carpet cleaner afterward.

My dog (a pit-something mix) loves Nylabones, and she particularly loves bacon. This is a great bone - perfect for her size (she weights about 36 pounds) and very durable. She chews up a storm - most toys do not last very long around here, except for Nylabones. I find her chewing on this pretty regularly - she seems to like the flavor. I will definitely be buying more of these - luckily, they last for such a long period of time I don't need to buy them too often! One of the few toys I will actually spend money on for my dog.

I am fostering a litter of kittens at the moment, and they fell in love with an old leather mouse we had purchased a few years back for our other cats. Problem was, they were fighting over it- and not in a very nice way. The company that used to manufacture the older leather mouse has since switched to synthetic fur and leather, and our cats want nothing to do with them... so I searched online and found these. They showed up yesterday (quickly), I passed a few out to the kittens, and they spent HOURS playing with these. No fights ensued. Our older cats also love these, and it's bringing out the kitten in them. One problem I've noted so far

I had no trouble assembling this box and it is sturdy enough. This is the second one I have owned. The first one lasted just about three years. Over time, the odors will start to permeate the walls as they are particle board and the cat has missed the actual litter box on occasion and hit the back of the washrom. This time, a piece of plexiglass attached to the back may help that problem. Time will tell. I love that it looks more like furniture and makes the bathroom look just a little bit classier than a plastic box in the corner. I would buy this again in another three years if need be.

I Bought the standard one first for my three cats. It was great, but soon I realized that the cats resented the shrinking of the size of the litter box (previous one had more interior space), they started to throw the litter out. Also, I had to clean it several times a day (VERY picky cats).I got the bigger one and problem solved. Period. I'm sending the standard size one to my mom, she has 2 cats, and I think the box will be enough for them. As for 3 cats, it's asking too much for the standard one.I Had them sent to Chile. Veeeery expensive management of the box, the delivery, customs, etc, but entirely worthy. I don't have to scoop anymore, I hated that. Easy to clean, no need to touch anything but the container... great.

Our cocker spaniel is now nearly 10 years old, and the solid gold food I'd been feeding him suddenly changed its formulation over a year ago(with no notice on the packaging), and he became subject to unexplained stomach upsets. After the contaminated food scare even tho Solid Gold was not recalled, I decided to switch, and this formulation is perfect for him to not gain too much weight. Newman's own is a brand I totally trust and have bought snacks for my human baby as well for years. After a year on this food, my dog is doing fine, but I do notice a need to supplement with fish oil for a healthier coat. That may be age related as well. But the stomach upsets have stopped. And I feel better knowing I am not exposing him to additional pesticides and hormones by going mostly organic with this formula.

My cat became sick with this stuff. Luckily, he is okay now, but has a small bald patch where I applied the medication. If you are reading this and you have somehow put this stuff on your cat or dog, bathe them immediately. Make sure all the stuff is off. Call your vet just for safe measure. I'm not kidding. Simply Google something like "Sergeant's Gold Squeeze-on Bald Spot" or "Sergeant's Gold Squeeze-on sick" and you will find TONS of information. Some pets were not as fortunate.Try the same thing with any other flea treatment like Frontline, and the links you get will still take you back to horror stories about Sergeant's Gold. Most are people who were on a budget. I simply didn't know. I thought I was doing the right thing by preventing fleas on my cat and the stuff seems to have burned his skin. I feel horrible 'cause my poor cat can't say "This stuff hurts."Edit

About two years ago my vet diagnosed my Bichon Frise with the onset of cataracts. At that time she was 11. He suggested trying OcluVet drops in lieu of the $2500+ per eye cataract surgery since the cost of surgery was prohibitive for my family. She has been on the drops for about two years and has almost 100% of her eyesight back. These eye drops are miracle drops! My vet also has charted the eye progress by looking at the back of her lenses every time she has had a check-up. The cataracts will always be there; however they have diminished to about the size of a pen point. I saw positive changes in her eyesight within a few weeks of use. Now she only needs a drop in each eye every other day. My only concern is the cost that averages about $35 per month. I wish the drops would be affordable so that all dogs could have their sight restored.

I love this conditioner. It makes my dogs coat really soft and manageable (as manageable as a dogs coat can be!) plus it smells wonderful!

My dog learned to walk with it and not drag me. Keeping him still while putting it on him was something else. He would see it and take off and hide.A hotdog settled him down...

I would recommend the purchase of the Petsafe Sportdog In-ground Fence. After shopping around I found that the Amazon price was good, especially considering the free ground shipping. I have had 3 previous Black Labs but had never owned an in-fence system. We decided that for our dogs saftey and for our own piece of mind we would set out on our own to install the system. The manual was clear and easy to follow. I laid out a simple rectangle perimeter around our house of approx. a bit over half acre. The wire roll that came with the system was more than enough. Fortunately 2/3 of my area was wooded or brush so I was able to just lay the wire on the ground after clearing a path with a rake. I later went back and covered the wire with leaves etc. Path areas that crossed these areas I buried by creating a shallow ditch with the pointed side of a hoe. I went across the front of our house, driveway and roadside, wide enough so that our dog could go out the front door and get onto our car inside the zone. With limited space on the front side I had to set the zone limit here when setting up zone. Hardest part of wire installation phase was digging trench across crushed stone/cinder driveway area. Just for wire protection a slit open old water hose I had and inserted wire into hose before burying. Hardest part of installation was twisting the long dual length of wire that ran to the house and into the system control box. The manual had no suggestions as to best way to twist the wire. I went into a crawl space under the house and drilled a hole up to room with control box. I also went the extra mile and went out and purchased solid ground wire and added lightning rod as suggested.Once wire was set I powered up and got 'Loop light' to light up. Next, using dog collar with batery and set to level '3' I went to yard and tested zone with range at '4'. I was upset to find I was getting erratic signal from wrong distances. Reuring to control box I found my mistake was having 'range' switch to 'high'. Once set to 'low' all was well. The small plastic light test device was not as pictured in the manual so this was a bit confusing. After figuring out that the collar prongs were not meant to go through the hex holes but rather touched up to 'wire' holes I set zone areas and placed flags ( approx 4-5 feet from wire, about 3.5 on the control box dial ).Just as my breeder, who has the system, told me, the training went much faster than outlined in the manual. All went as instructed in first two training sessions on Day 1, with collar set at '2'. However, on third session a neighbor pulled up in front of the house and rolled down her window to ask about the dog (7 mos. old). With this the dog (off the leash and doing well respecting the flags so far)ran towards the car to say hello. She received a jolt, lept off her feet, and ran back behind zone. That was a lesson for Day 6-8, Ooops! That really did the trick and she was pretty much trained from then on with a little help pointing out flag boundaries. Of course I suggest you try to follow the manual's training schedule with your dog. We have been using system for a week now and dog is good in yard off leash but not on her own yet since we are always outside with her. I went out and bought a red nylon collar, drilled matching holes, and attached system collar unit to it. With a lighter I sealed holes, got hole area as flat as possible and then clamped down using black washers and hex poles from collar unit. This is not easy but you will figure it out. All & all I think I saved over $700 by doing this installation myself.

My Pocket Shih Tzu loved playing with this toy, but the squeaker died after (literally) one day of playing. I would not order this again.

This works, if my dogs will stop being scared of it,they could drink some good water.It did not pump water when I turned it on, I called and they immediately sent a new pump.funny thing is, I figured out that it was the adjusting arm also doubles as the pump volute, and it was not in place correctly and barely hamgs there at all, since I snapped it on properly (though flimsy) it has funtioned normally, and I got an extra pump, lol

This crate is perfect for a puppy or small to small medium dog. It is very good quality and safe for your dog. Price is higher at Foster and Smith, where I have purchased many items before discovering Amazon.

The most difficult part is getting the cat to swallow the pill. I think it is helping control tape worms now.

Our cat was very anxious. She would hide if people came over and pee on the furniture. Since we started using Feliway along with a scented collar, that behavior has completely stopped. We will definitely be reordering!

The grass did not grow but since I am not much of a gardner I may not have had the right gardening skills to make it grow. I would not buy again.

I bought this bed for my 11 yr old Belgian Shepard. He loves it. He has a soft doggy bed also in case he does not feel like being warm all the time but so far he loves it. Even though it is safe for outdoors my dog sleeps in the basement and I do not want him sleeping on cold tiles. My dog is a big dog so I bought him the large bed. Even a smaller dog or cat could use more comfort if you can afford to buy a larger bed. My neighbor is thinking of buying one for his colony of feral cats. The product also arrived pretty fast so everyone is happy.

I also received a soaked box with about 25% of this product left in the bottle. I was able to use it enough to tell it is a good product, but I recommend you buy something at your local retailer where it doesn't have to be shipped.

This is a very well built and well designed piece of equipment. I bought it for my two 15 lb Maltepoos and it is just the right size for them. I was impressed with the sturdiness of the material and also the netting. I was afraid that they would tear it when they jump up but i do not think it can tear. It does real well on turns and feels quite stable. Although it does not feel like you are lugging a lot of weight, i did notice i had to cycle in higher gears than normal, but I assumed that it would be like that. The color of blue, however, was not as depicted on the ads. I received a much darker blue but i am happy because it will not show dirt as much. I would definitely recommend this product.

This really does work at calming my cat down without nasty lethargic or hyperactivity side effects. And it is unnoticeable to me. Each plugin refill lasts about 1 to 1-1/2 months. Great deal buying this in bulk!She doesn't meow so aggressively and seems to use the litter box more consistently. However, it's not 100% effective since it hasn't gotten her completely out of the habit of inappropriate urination when stressed or the box hasn't been cleaned for a day. So if her environment gets out of whack, Feliway doesn't seem to be the cure-all for poor kitty behavior. Keep that in mind and try to make your cat's environment as chill and stress-free as possible used in combo with Feliway.My cat still seems stressed with the addition of our dog (she just does not like him!), so I'm considering the "prozac" approach per my vet's recommendation since she still seems to urinate around the house. It's tough since she doesn't have a complete aversion to the box so I never know when she is and isn't eliminating on the carpeting until it's too late.The vet said Feliway is the step cat parents should take prior to considering prozac for a cat with anxiety/inappropriate elimination issues, so try this before you medicate your cat.

I bought one of these from a local store after seeing it advertised here as a Ferret Chase Toy. Sure, my ferrets chased it, caught it, then stuffed it away under the sofa to be forgotten. It's just too slow for ferrets, and they get bored quickly with this toy. You are better off with a small and fast R/C car.

My dogs absolutely love these Quado bones. They chew and chew on these things like its the last supper. The only problem is exactly that; They devour these bones within the hour, instead of it lasting for a period of time. I have large dogs, and one dog took out 2 prongs in a matter of 15 min, completely devoured! At a cost of around $8 per bone, I cannot afford to give these things to my dogs often, as they do not last long enough. But they are crazy over them.

I bought this for my chihuahua. She just takes a smidgen every morning but this and coconut shampoo bar also a smidgen of Veggemite make her long red hair just beautiful. I never have to blow dry it any more. All products are on amazon of course. I also give her 1/4 of Dog Gone Pain DGP and she looks and acts more like a 3 year old than an old lady of 12.

I ordered this for my 7 lb Ocherese puppy. I do a lot of walking for exercise, but she cannot walk that far. She loves it. She walks a while, then I put her in the puppy bag. . . .she rides along looking at the scenery, waiting for someone to tell her she is cute!!!! The strap is adjustable. There is a pocket for keys or puppy snacks.

I ordered Small for each of my Miniature Pinscher and 1/2 Jack Russell, 1/2 MinPin and they're too short lengthwise for them. If I find these again I'll order Medium.The coats keep them very warm, snow doesn't stick, velcro closure much easier on them than arm holes.Very dissapointed that they're Made in China however, which will stop me from buying this brand again.I would like to see Amazon inform of everything where it's made included in the specs, details, etc.

This Christmas collar looked good on the webpage, but it looked even better out-of-the-box. It actually has three collars, so you can use one, two, or three to make it thinner or thicker depending on the needs of your furry friend. It looked great on my white standard poodle, got a lot of appreciative looks, and I'm pretty sure my poodle pranced a little more proudly.

We had tiny chihuahua puppies and this is the perfect size....I do think that bigger puppies would probably need the 8 sided version as it is pretty small. It is durable, washable and so easy to put together, move, lay flat etc etc. Great product!!

I always get a kick out of putting an "impossible to remove" food item into this for my dog, and watching his efforts to get it out (he always manages to). It definitely keeps him entertained, sometimes over an hour if the food item is difficult enough to remove. He had one as a puppy too, and it helped keep him out of our things and interested in his own toys.

This dog feeder was exactly what I was looking for. It provides my dogs with food for more than a week, allowing me to go on trips without having them boarded or having a neighbor checking in on them every single day. It is easy to fill and it keeps the food very clean and dry. I used one screw to hold it flush against the side of my porch and it has not budged, even in winds exceeding 50 mph. I would recommend this to anyone seeking a large feeding solution.

It is really short, flimsy and cheaply made. I have a ragdoll cat and he hated it. He barely fit under it. I guess if you have a really small cat it would be ok. But I don't recommend it at all.

Dont bother, it doesn't do anything more than any other. I couldn't tell if I even washed my dog. The dog smell the same as before. I am very dissappointed.
