Review of Critter Trail Two Pet Home

When properly put together at first, this cage was a decent, interesting home for our hamster.He liked to cruise around it and carefully built his cozy home in the top "petting zone" level.

However, when cleaning time rolled around, we really came to hate its poor design.It is NOT a job for a kid under age 12 or so, so parents hoping to teach responsibility for cleaning up after a pet will be annoyed to find another chore added to their own weekly list.The pieces are cheap plastic, easily broken, and there are many of them.They come apart easily -- too easily -- and are okay to clean, but putting the thing back together is an exercise in frustration even for an adult with a degree in mechanical engineering (like me).Everything must be aligned perfectly or else it falls apart unexpectedly.You don't dare do it wrong, either, or your hamster may escape or have the whole thing collapse on him later.Over time, the punch-out hole blanks and latches holding it together break off and you have to resort to bent paper clips and duct tape to eke out another few weeks' use out of it.

The water bottle, by the way, directly resulted in the death of our first hamster, because it is opaque.A piece of litter got caught in its valve and it drained dry soon after it was filled.We didn't notice because the water was soaked up by the litter and the level inside is not visible.My son discovered his dead pet soon thereafter.One might say that we should have been checking/changing the water daily anyway, but we didn't forsee the problem and our hamster paid for it with his tiny life.For our next hamster we bought a separate, clear water bottle so we could monitor the level in between fillings.

I finally tossed the thing today.I couldn't even give it away in good conscience, even though it cost so much.Our hamster is back in a small but secure and easy to clean cage.There's a marketing opportunity out there for someone!

Review of Critter Trail One Pet Home

I have owned the two and three story Crittertrail cages for my then 2 gerbils, along with regular wire cages and glass tanks.Now I only have one gerbil and have moved him into the Critter Trail one pet home.He seems happier in it than a regular, bigger wire cage (non-Critter Trail).Neither one of my gerbils liked being in the aquarium tanks either (we had a 20 gal. tank).After trying a variety of homes for my gerbils, I have concluded that they feel more secure in the Critter Trail cages and were friendlier.It is easy to clean, has a deep bin, love the petting/sleeping area at the top and is less drafty than a regular wire cage.I have heard of hamsters escaping from Critter Trail cages though.The original wheel is noisy.All in all, very happy with product.Wish it was a wee bit deeper.

Review of Critter Trail Three Pet Home

Although this product is marketed as being compatible for mice, it is not 100% true. The problem lies in the spacing of the cage wires. They are just too big. Anything other that a full grown adult mouse will be able to squeeze through. You waste a lot of your time trying to catch lose mice in your house. This is not fun. The Critter Trail Outlook is a much better product for mice.

Review of Critter Trail X Pet Home

The hampsters learned to open the door pretty quickly.We have to put a twist tie on it so they can't escape.The wheel being on top seemed like a good idea but when they poop and pee in it (not to mention hoard all their food in it) and then run, the contents of the wheel get sprayed all over everything around the cage about 2 feet around. Ugh.The tubes are difficult to get on and off if you buy the extra tunnels to add-on.They also don't fit the holes in some instances.If you want to remove the wheel, nothing else will fit in that hole so it's pretty impossible to replace the wheel.

Review of BioBag Dog Waste Bags, 50 Count Boxes (Pack of 4)

My husband and I started using the BioBags for our dogs' waste, and then we bought them for our kitchen trash can, and our bathroom trash can. It feels good knowing that we're putting our "trash" in completely biodegradable bags. It's just one small way we're helping out the environment.

Product Description
BioBag Dog holds the distinction of being the first biodegradable and compostable “plastic” pooper bag in the world. It is one of our most popular products. Picking up after your pet is part of being a responsible pet owner. In many communities, it's also the law. We are constantly amazed when pet owners put 100% biodegradable dog waste into plastic bags that can take over 100 years to decompose. Now owners have a logical solution… BioBag Dog.

Review of Pet Memorial Stone with Engraved Heart Tag-Deluxe

I ordered this memorial stone after my beloved Siamese cat, Simon, passed from kidney failure.Though the stone itself is smaller than I envisioned, I still wouldn't trade it for the world.

This memorial stone is made out of concrete that is engraved with a rememberance.The heart (or other of your choosing) tag is similiar to what you'd find for a dog tag.The company carefully engraves your request on the tag as long as you follow the directions to place your preferences in the gift tag section at checkout.

All in all, I would order this same product again.

Review of SmartScoop No-Stick Litter Box Spray

I bought a small sample of this at a pet store recently and tried it. It really works well and makes litter-box cleaning much easier. I went to the manufacturer's site and discovered that one could but it on Amazon.

One important point: They suggest waiting for at least 15 min after you've sprayed the box with this, before adding litter. This is important advice. In my experience it makes a big difference.

Review of Multivet Spray Commander 3 Refill Scentless, 3 Citronella, 5 Batteries

After trying dog obedience classes without any success, we purchased the Multivet Spray Commander for our black lab/rat terrier mix. The results were immediate. It's a little tricky to get into the swing of training and our dog slumped around like we had beaten her for the first couple of days. One of our biggest challenges with her is that she became aggressive toward other animals and very territorial. Within a week of using this product, she no longer constantly harasses our ferret. She's also decided that the cat is her friend and not her enemy. Last night they were actually curled up together on the couch sleeping. Before using the Spray Commander this would have *never* happened.

The main thing in using this for training is that you have to be consistent. Remember to always reward good behavior and to never fail to correct bad behavior. Also, the only reason I can't give it five stars is that the remote is a little touchy. Keeping it on hand is one thing, keeping it in your pocket is quite another. I've accidentally sprayed her a couple of times when she's done nothing wrong. Needless to say, she got extra belly rubs and lovins for my mistakes. Also, the collar tends to loosen itself without some fancy threading through the buckle.

I'd only recommend the citronella scent for outdoor training. It's a really strong scent and a little much for inside training. I'm sure it will be great this summer though. Some spritzing around the camper this summer should keep the mosquitoes away. (When the collar is off the dog, of course!)

Product Description
How it works When your dog is too distracted to obey a command or displays bad behavior, you use the handheld remote control dog training device to trigger the spray collar. A harmless spray is released; it interrupts the dog's inappropriate actions and makes him receptive to your command. The kit includes :1. CD & Complete training manual 2. Handheld remote control 3. Spray device 4. Adjustable collar 5. Six 6 volt batteries 6. 3 Scentless and 3 citronella spray

My 4 month old puppy seems to be able to unzip his from the inside, which is a problem, but overall these are great quality.

Review of Litter Buster Litter Mats - Regular Size

I've tried a few different mats to keep my 2 cats from tracking litter all over the house.This one works, and works really well.It has stopped the spread of litter.However, one of my cats has occassional bladder problems, and goes outside of the litter box, sometimes on the mat.It's very difficult to clean the mat - makes me wish that he'd just go on the floor instead if it's not going to be in the box.If it were easier to clean, I'd have definitely given it 5 stars.

Product Description
Regular size is 11.5 in. x 17.5 in..Litter Buster Mats trap litter and clean cats paws.Grasslike blades prevent litter from spreading around the house.Soft blades are specifically formulated for cats.Great with silica and clumping litter.Note:Regular size mat is kitty shaped.Extra Large size is rectangular.

Review of Thermo Crinkle Tunnel Sage

We live in quite a cold place and it didn't do us much good. The tunnel doesn't stay open like shown in the picture, it collapses, which I think is so it will conserve some of the heat. The heater isn't very strong and our cat didn't like crawling into a collapsed tunnel so it didn't work at all for us. We ended up buying a different cat bed and putting the heater under the new bed. Heater still doesn't do much heating, but is getting more use than when it was in the collapsed tunnel.

Product Description
Which end should I attack from? That's the biggest question cats have with the Thermo-Crinkle Tunnel (Sage). With built-in noisy walls and both ends open for attack, it'll be any cat's favorite place in the house. The plush interior and super comfy heated floor will be the perfect snoozing spot after all the fun. Uses our safe, effective 4 watt heater. Machine washable. Indoor use only.
