After reading the manufacturers directions to use for 30 days to see results, we purchased about $85 of this stuff to cover a 2500 sq. ft home for 2 months. We are now going into the 6th week with NO positive results. It was like taking $85 cash and throwing it right in the garbage.

I am a long time owner having had one for 12+ years. This skimmer will work very well when setup properly.As others have stated it is a pain to get it going right, but pulls tons of gunk once running. I would buy again.

Happiness is the day I bought this products. I no longer have to lift this heavy gallon container. I looked all over for a pump like this and was timid to purchase when I found this one but I am so glad I bought it. This is a very good product and I highly recommend it. I use it to pump shampoo out of a gallon jug. It works great

I was recommend this product from a neighbor who trains dogs. I have been very happy with the collar and has really worked for our dog. My children have also been able to control our dog much better without causing any harm or injuries.

Found this product at a local pet store. Ran out of my regular dog food & needed something in a pinch. My dogs loved it! So now, I use mostly this dog food with a little bit of their old food (organic dry crunchy stuff). Their bowls are always empty when they're done!

The cat loves the taste of the toothpaste and the brush is the only one that I've seen that is small enough to fit in a cats mouth. After we're done cleaning his teeth I give him a little more on the brush as a treat.

We had high hopes for this litter box after reading some of the reviews -- but our hopes were recently dashed when, after only about three months, this one failed too. We cleaned it every day, but last week the motor stopped and even though we completely cleaned out the whole apparatus, will not start again. We're going back to an "analog" litter box and will just scoop every day. Two Litter Maids and this one later -- we're not wasting any more money on electric litter boxes.

Our cat loves these things. This is the third time we've ordered them. They come fast , too. Our feline could play with these all day long if we had the energy to throw them for her that long. We tell her to "Get Ready," and she backs into another room or a closet, watching and waiting untll we throw the ball up in the air. Then she flies through the air to catch or swat the ball.

Nice quality and very easy to put on my dog. The velcro around the neck and chest were great since I didn't have to pull anything over my dog's head. Nice and warm for cold outdoor weather.

I was finished cleaning my Drinkwell fountain and didn't realize I had the last filter. I didn't bother putting the filter back in. Why would Frank, my cat, know the difference. Frank refused to drink from the fountain. He has been using it religiously for ten years. At 2:00 a.m. in the morning, he was sucking on the tub faucet, which is something he hasn't done in years. So, yeah, the filters do make a difference in taste and I immediately ordered some more online. (I dug the older, 6 week old filter out of the wastebasket and Frank went back to the fountain.)I had to respond to the person who said it doesn't make a difference. It sure did to my Frank. I bought the fountain when he just wouldn't drink water out of a bowl and his kidneys were abnormal at age two. He's twelve now and his kidneys are dandy. I love the Drinkwell, filter and all. I want my Frank around a long time. Without the drinkwell, his kidneys wouldn't have lasted long. That just shows you how important water is to your kidneys, people and pets alike. Drink up!

I want to review this crate higher. As others have stated, it works out great, assuming that you are going to be right there. I bought it so when we are camping, I could put my dog into this crate at night. The crate I have for her at home took up way too much room in the car, so the fact that this one folded so compactly was a great selling point for me.My dog is crate trained, and even did well in this crate, when I was there with her. I left her in it once when we went out to dinner. While we were gone, it appears she pawed at the side mesh and it was pretty well shredded when we came back. The mesh panels are very thin. It does not take much to damage them.I have since bought new material to try to fix the damage, but I also bought a wire crate that packs flat.The company includes the note:"Not intended for puppies in the chewing stage, chronic chewers or aggressive dogs.Purchase a MIDWEST wire crate if you think your pet might chew the fabric used in the Canine Camper as damage by untrained dogs is not covered by MIDWEST's Limited Manufacturers Warranty. Use your Canine Camper Crate after your pet has been properly crate trained."So, to their credit, they do warn you about the likelihood of damage. From my experience, even having a well trained dog [though I am sure some will read this and say that apparently my dog is not all that well trained] does not ensure that this crate will make it in the long term.I still contend that this would work well when we are camping, and are in the tent together. However, I would never leave her alone in it again. Heaven forbid I had to leave her for a moment or two while I relieved myself.So, it looks like the new wire crate will satisfy both my needs, of packing compactly, and keeping her where she belongs.

Just like most dog coats and jackets, it can't be a warm in freezing temperature if it is open on the front. The dog's back is covered but everywhere else has no protection. If it would have been designed better I would have not mind to pay more for it.

I love cats, I love every kind of cat, I just want to hug them all, but I can't...can't hug every cat!This litter box seems like it should be on MTV cribs, it's huge, or it would seem that way.On the inside there is a cute stair case that leads to you widdle kitties poop-shack, but the area for answering the call of nature is very small.Packed with the litter box was a one time use liner, which was funny because the shape of the box/oval will not contain any liner, like ever.There is nothing about this cat box that masks smells, they do add a filter, but it's on the top(which is common) but don't think that just because of it's shape you will be able to avoid your pretty-kittys stink!After the first week, at the request of my cats, I decided to change the litter...oh what fun!There is not really an edge on the box that allows you to smoothly pour all of the contents into a garbage bag, so get ready to sweep the floor, alot.Finally, the litter box is called a Booda Dome, however my cats have still yet to achieve any kind of enlightenment...is this ok? Is there a timeline available to know when they might?Lemme know!

My pump failed in 6 weeks. The pump is a fifteen dollar replacement part, so no thanks. That's not a solution.To Amazon's credit, they said they would accept the return, but I am waiting forever to get a postage-paid label snail-mailed to me -- and who knows how long it will take for the credit. Amex has a 90-day product guarantee, so at least I know I'll be protected by my cc if Amazon doesn't come through.

Our dog really suffers when the temperatures climb into the 90s. She completely abandons her dog bed, preferring to sleep on the floor, preferably near a vent if the A/C is running. It can be tricky filling the bed inside the house but it is well worth the effort. I filled the bed with water in the master bedroom, its permanent location, placing the Cool Bed on top of the Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed which was also purchased through Amazon. The two work in tandem, the Cool Bed providing the cooler temperature and the Coolaroo providing the added air flow. Our lab dives into her bed each night--finally comfortable and blissfully goes right to sleep.

After a complaint about my "barking dogs" I bought an anti-bark collar and used it on the biggest offender. It worked very well so I purchased two more collars and in no time I had the barking problem resolved. Out of the three dogs, it only irritated one of the dogs' necks and it was a very mild irritation. I would recommend this product to anyone whose dog barks incessantly, or won't shut up when you tell them to. It's priced very well and works great!

This harness, for our slightly larger than usual Rat Terrier, has worked out great with the exception of it rubbing on the backs of his armpits. There doesn't seem to be any redness or chaffing, but his coat is pretty thinned out there compared to before. He doesn't seem to mind at all though, and I think him and I are willing to accept that small detail to avoid neck and throat injuries caused by normal collars. I no longer feel guilty about yanking at his neck when he tries to chase a squirrel, and I feel safe that he can't slip out of it as well. Recommended!

My dog has never gotten used to having his teeth brushed, but he loves the taste and it has been effective in keeping the tarter from building up on his teeth. Saved me a teeth cleaning last year.

This is by far the best litter box we have ever owned. It is super easy to clean. We don't use the liners just good scoop able litter. We have six large dogs and they have never knocked the top off or tried to get into it. The litter stays inside the dome and off the floor, our cats love it, soiled litter smell doesn't exist anymore and it looks neat enough that it doesn't need to be hidden out of site. We love it so much I just ordered another one to put on the opposite side of the house so our cats have a choice of where to go.

I bought this tubing to bring air into my aquarium - I wish I had paid attention to the fact that it was blue, for I would have bought clear, but it works great so it really doesn't matter to my fish that it is blue.

I was having great difficulty maintaining the Ph level in my aquariums. I had tried frequent water changes, putting shells in them, and other pieces of advice you find on the internet. Nothing worked. It was around 6 to not measurable by the test. Then someone at my LFS said to use this, and it fixed everything! I was hesitant because I don't like to use chemicals in my tanks other than Stress Coat to dechlorinate during water changes. I have not had an issue with ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates since I started using this, and the Ph levels are rock solid. I tried to fix the other chemical levels for about a year, but they straightened out after I leveled the Ph. I actually use less than the directions call for and test weekly to maintain it, but I never put any in except at water changes.I let it disolve in a cup while I am doing the water change. Otherwise particles will float around the aquarium until they dissolve. Some users complain about the phosphorus causing algae growth, but I love plecos so this is never a problem for me and I can't really say if it does!

As the days get hotter here in Brooklyn,NY, my cat Nat was shedding more and more and staying under anything that kept him cool. I was desperate to give both him and I some relief. Like other reviews, I bought the brushes, the bristles, the big red homie the clown rubber glove thing which was harder to clean than my cat. But the hair seem to never end.A friend hipped me to the Furminator and I found it for cheap here on Amazon. But again, as others have testified it is worth its asking price.Today, I ripped it out of its plastic container, coached my cat into the bathroom and stripped down to my underwear (enough of my clothes will forever have cat hair on it, the madness would stop today). I locked the door and brushed the living life out of my cat. 20 minutes later, I was covered in so much fur, Nat thought I bought a second cat home. The waste basket was filled to the rim in his fur and Nat appeared as if he lost 3 lbs. He coat glistened and with no fear he strutted towards the sun that came through the windows.He loved every minute of it. As if he was meowing "Free at last Free at last, thank god almighty I'm free..."Ok, I'm being a bit over the top here, but the damn product works!

We bought the Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain to simplify our neighbors feeding our cats while we were away. It works great! And now the cats won't drink any other way. This is my 2nd drinkwell as I warped the first in the dish washer. We don't use the top because one of our cats insists on knocking it off. Best prices here on products and filters.

Would give a better rating if my Betta would enjoy them... he ate them like crazy when I first fed them to him, but not anymore... he just turns away and lets these little worms just float on top of the water... so not sure what happened, but disappointed that my Betta doesn't like them anymore...

My three month old Westie loves this treat. The only bad thing is that it's huge for training. If I command sit, it takes him 20 seconds to finish eating it and do the next trick. I recommend breaking it into tiny pieces because the label says 1 or 2 a day only. My pup loves this treat and would do anything for it!

This is the second Midwest Life Stages crate I have purchased over the last couple of years. The first one was for our 2 year old lab and we decided we didn't need it after about 9 or 10 months. Wish I had never sold it because we just got an 8 week old puppy. The divider in the middle is great to keep the crate small enough so that the puppy is cozy and does not make the crate too big at first which helps with potty training. Our puppy loves his crate and I highly recommend it to anyone. Amazon had the cheapest prices I have ever seen for this crate. It was about (...) less than anywhere else. The shipping was ridiculously fast too.

Really good quality product. Nice and thick and looks great; however, even following the measurements, it was a bit too big for my dog. The waistband was much too long and wide that my dog ended up peeing on it. As a result, I ended up giving it away as a gift to my neighbour. If the waistband were a bit shorter and moved toward the front at least an inch it would've been perfect.

I've always been a fan of desktop decorative fountains and fountains of all kinds really, and I had a pet that seemed to be extremely interested in getting to the sink whenever he heard the faucet running. He also seemed to spend a lot of time in the shower because he liked the drips from the shower.After reading a few reviews of the Petmate Freshflow Pet Fountain, I realized that the reason why he may be so interested in flowing water was because he may be thirsty. Animals have much more sensative senses of smell and probably a more sensative sense of taste as well. If you leave a glass of water on your nightstand overnight, there's a big difference in taste of that water. So, if you have water that sits in your pets bowl, it's just logical that the taste becomes stagnant and probably why your pet doesn't drink enough water.After I bought one of these pet fountains, I immediately noticed that my pet stopped hanging out in the shower or running to the sink every time he heard running water. The Pet Fountain constantly filters and cycles the water and because of evaporation, naturally cools the water as well. Cleaning the fountain is simple. I probably clean it a little more than is needed, but the entire cleaning process takes about 5 minutes.Cats are predisposed to developing crystals in their urine which can rack up huge veterinary bills as well as causing pain to your pet. I know for a fact that my cat drinks so much more water now since byeing the Petmate Fountain. I suggest this product to every pet owner.

I have a 10 gallon tank that I had been having trouble with. Too much algae and the filter I had clogged a lot. After shopping around, I stumbled on this. It seemed to be what I was needing so I got it. My first impression was that this thing is huge compared to my tank. I thought it was going to be too powerful and push my fish around. Still, I installed it hoping that it would all work out. After it was installed, it took a little finagling to find the exact position I wanted for it.It has now been installed for six weeks. My tank is much cleaner and I have had no trouble with the filter. While it is really powerful, it doesn't seem to bother my fish too much. In fact most days, I can find one of my clownfish playing in the stream. One of the things that I like most about it is that I will be able to use it if I decide to upgrade my tank to a larger one (the place I currently live is restricting me to 10g). This is quite a good filter and will be in use for several years for me.

We've had our adopted dog for 6 years. She came from the shelter where she was scheduled to be euthanized because her original owners did not want her back. She had been abused and taught to kill critters and run wild in the neighborhood, terrorizing dogs and cats. We have been successful in teaching her to the contrary and she is a very loving yet protective dog. Knowing we were the ones who needed training, we've watched numerous videos, read books, etc. Because we live in a wilderness setting, we never had much need to teach her how to walk on a leash. When we tried, though, we found out we needed a solution very quickly!Reading all the positive reviews here convinced us to try this harness. From the moment we put it on her, she responded like magic. No pulling or yanking our arms out. We are truly amazed at how well this very inexpensive (but well made) product works. The directions on the package are easy to follow. Because she chews on toys, we are well warned about not leaving the harness on her unattended. During the first couple of times we put it on her, we gave her a treat. She now gets excited whenever she sees us grab the harness/leash (we bought the combination), knowing she is going for a walk with us - no treats necessary now.

You need this. my almost retarded dog that cannot seemingly be taught anything (and his sister) both barked bad enough to draw criticism from my neighbors. The association was about to have a meeting on the nuisance. Pick these up at the pet-store for about $15 more than this price (needed them fast), and wallah. I know some reviewers talked about how inhumane the jolt is, but my dogs tested the highest level of this progressively increasing zapper only once. couldn't be happier with the results, they barely growl at passer by's now.tip

This product could seem to be a must for any dog owner-trainer.I sugest it to be used with a lot of care and responsibility, if you can, use it under professional guidance, in that way, results are amazing.Don't forget this is a Negative-Reinforcement technique tool. however, I find it more human than a good snap with a choke collar. Anyway, please be pacient and gentle with it. I used it with my Border Collie and it was ok, although I 100 % prefer positive reinforcement techniques

I put my two adult rat boys in this cage. It's so roomy for the two boys! I would probably be comfortably putting one more boy in there. There's plenty of room for the boys as well as toys and hammocks. The bar spacing is wide, so I couldn't put my 3 month old rats in there, but it was perfect for my two adult boys. I don't have a wheel in there because they run around my apartment for exercise. I would recommend this cage to anyone looking for a rat cage for adult rats. Not sure about females- I've never had them.

as long as you keep the litter box cleaned up. I find that the arm and hammer litter in the yellow box works well in this litter box. The filter helps eliminate a lot of the odor that escapes from the top of the box. You need to change these about every other month.

I'm a big fan. The lunge buster works really well too. The ability of the leash to rotate around your body is good, but it's not entirely smooth. This could be partially due to me and my dog rather than the quality of the leash. So far my dog and I are super happy with it!

This is my first pet and I've really dreaded cleaning up the "land mine", but this scooper is AWESOME!! Initially, I was using a shovel and the task would take forever, but now that I have this new scooper, it is a snap! The shovel part can fit several batches of "brownies" and the rake easily scoops them up. This is an extremely efficient product and seems to be very durable. EXCELLENT PURCHASE!!!!!!

I have owned this product for about six months now and use it nearly every other day for both of my cats. This has made a noticeable difference in the amount of cat fur buildup on the carpet, bed, chairs, etc.When I first saw the product out of the package, I was a little worried about how fine the teeth were of this product. I thought it might just 'cut' the hair and make it look like it did a good job or be too rough for the cats, but they both love it and it really seems to do the trick. The back of the package that I purchased (at a local pet store) had a lady sitting next to two animals and ridiculous amounts of fur around her and the pets with "One Sitting!" proudly proclaimed next to the testers. I actually laughed at this and thought what a gimmick.After I used it I really do believe that if your cat or dog will sit there for 1/2 hour, you really could get all that out of them. I usually get my cats cornered for about 5 minutes or so and get around three large hand-fulls of fur every time I use it.I will be gifting this for my parents and my sisters this year. I love this product.

My 7 month old rescue pup had parvo before I adopted him, so he has a very sensitive stomach... these tendons don't mess with him at all. I'm a bartender, and our nightly ritual when I get home at ~3am is to sit on the couch and watch tv for about an hour. I'll have a beer or two and he has a tendon. One tendon will last him at least 20-30 minutes and he's the happiest dog in the world the whole time. They don't stink at all, and they're less than a dollar each... I cant imagine a better longer lasting HEALTHY treat for my dog. The food I have him on is almost 70 dollars for a 30lb bag, so these treats are a STEAL. And please don't buy those bleached cow hide chew toys for your pets... they're just awful.

Overall I had no problem cutting my cat's nails with this trimmer, but after owning it for only 4 months the thing simply disintegrated in my hands! I literally just picked it up and was preparing to trim my cats nails, when I gave the trimmer a test squeeze to make certain I had a good grip on it and the plastic handle came apart. I don't mean that the pivot joint came undone, the plastic broke clean through without even making an audible 'snapping' noise. The blade and spring promptly fell out as well and on closer inspection I realized that the handles of the trimmer have no metal reinforcements, they are made out of a simple cheap plastic that apparently is prone to decay.Spend a few dollars more and buy an all metal trimmer from a different manufacturer.

We searched everywhere for something to keep our chew happy 1 year old German Shorthair occupied. The Kong only held up for a few weeks and never held enough treats to keep him entertained for more than 5 minutes. The Buster Block only slid on our hardwood floors. I actually purchased the Omega Paw ball with the Buster Block to get free Super Saver Shipping. Big mistake, I should have purchase another Omega Paw ball! We put dog food and/or Cheerios in it. Our Pointer plays with it inside and out for 30-45 minutes at a time. It took about 10 minutes to teach him to roll it with his paw or nose. This was easy to do by nudging it with my foot a few times. Once he realized the nudging meant goodies he was all about it. When it's empty or mostly empty, he usually picks it up and brings it to us or moves on to running circles around the house. It is the best $12 we have spent! So far, 6 months with minimal wear. We still keep bones around for chewing too.
