Small Dog Electronics South Burlington For Sale (2024 Update)

Let me prequalify this by saying that I am a fan of PetSafe Products. The Stay and Play Wireless fence and the Large Dog Citronella Anti-Bark Collars have worked flawlessly for my medium size indoor/outdoor pup. I also have a 1.5 year old Yorkie, and the PetSafe Elite Little Dog Spray Bark Control has design and operational flaws that I can't overlook: 1. The unit's sensor is not a typical rear sensor, and it doesn't pick-up normal barking unless it is high intensity (this is WHEN it works). 2. The unit does not last for the full amount of sprays. 3. The unit has to be at a high level of tightness to the point of almost choking the dog to remain in place in order to be correctly positioned to both pick-up the barking and deliver the spray. 4. The unit does not have an ON/OFF switch other than turning the battery, and then you have to manipulate even that when wanting to reset the bark counter. The bark counter should be reset in the electronics when the battery is removed if that's the case and reflect this in the refill directions for the spray. At the end of the day, I have use spray collars for my outdoor dog at my home for years, so I am familiar with the quirks. I have remained faithful to PetSafe, and they never let me down. The Elite Little Dog Spray collar is not up to their usually high standards. I have bought one, exchanged one, and bought another to give this product a fair chance, and I am heading to Petco this morning to return the last one as a disappointed customer. I have moved to an apartment from a home in the process of building a new house, so it is imperative that I be able to reinforce that excess barking is not acceptable. I suppose it will have to be with another product.PharmDrew

I bought two of these and neither of them worked. The first one worked for about a week of occasional use. Then it started leaking a steady, tiny hiss of spray from the intake hole. Months later, on a road trip w/now 2 small dogs I picked up 2 of the older, silver models that use the 6 volt batteries. They still work great (2 years later, intermittent use for overnights away from home or having exciting visitors that the dogs celebrate vocally, Enthusiastically, unceasingly. Also for occasional backyard relaxing if the neighbor kids get the dogs too excited.) I shared one with my sister for her dog on a hotel overnight and it was a revelation to her. I tried to buy her one but can only find the new “elites” with that proprietary battery so I caved, hoping the leaky one I had was a fluke. I got a few inconsistent sprays out of it, many barks without spray, then it just quit completely. I tried a new battery, refilled the spray and The lights did their thing correctly when I followed the steps to turn it on. Then I tested it by loudly barking right up against The back of it, tapping the back of it, holding it against my own throat and trying different tones of loud singing and yelling… nothing. I’ve wasted too much $ on the bad new design ones that don’t work. I really wish I could get another old silver model one to give my 4 legged niece. Obviously the requirement of a $15 proprietary battery makes this PetSafe’s preferred model to make, regardless of it’s consistent failure to function. Disappointing.JenMN

I like the price point of this camera, but it doesn’t work well even to be mid-grade price. It only detects motion about 25% of the time. I mainly got them for motion detection and recording so that was a huge disappointment. The video is semi consistent when it does decide to record, but it doesn’t record the entire motion encounter. In addition, the motion sensor hasn’t worked at all since I got a notification about my trial expiring soon (it hasn’t expired yet though.) The app is a little glitchy but is otherwise easy to navigate and the quality of the image and video is decent which is why they got 2 stars here. To be transparent, I didn’t do much research into these before I bought them, and to add to it, they were buy one get one free so I was pretty excited to buy them. Just know for this camera, you will need to sign up to a monthly Amazon subscription for cloud storage. Please consider before purchasingSimone

This security camera will show you live feed without a subscription! I got lucky enough to get 4 cameras for the price of 2 during Prime Day a few years ago, so I could install in the bedrooms and areas of my house where my little kids tend to play alone, so I don’t have to run from room to room to find out why they are being soooo quiet. If you’re a parent you know your concern starts when your kids are being way to quiet! It can sit anywhere, with without being plugged in and you can pair it to your phone via app and watch from anywhere in the world!!! As long as there's stable Wi-Fi inside the home. I watched my living room for 18 days while visiting my family in another country. This camera has the ability to record as well but you need a subscription to store the recordings on the cloud! Very clear picture with ability to zoom in (on your phone) and night vision is well lit black white. Best of all, this camera allows you to hear speak through it. It's also a fantastic way to monitor children and the elderly without having to run inside all the time to see if everything's alright! I believe the subscription gives you Alexa voice command when you register your blink on Amazon.com. Best camera, good picture, great features, very dependable and easy to install! The only issue (and this is the only reason why I’m not giving 5 stars) is because if the room is completely dark and you check the camera (especially if it is in your kids bedroom), a blue light turns on (it won’t make it bright, but if you’re facing the camera you will notice something is on even if your eyes are closed). It will also beeps while you’re checking the camera, so it can be distracting if your child is almost falling asleep… but other than that, absolutely nothing to complain about.jessica.p

First off the price is right. relatively easy to set up minus a few issues with it not recognizing my wifi. perfect size to hide in places you want monitored. Video quality is lacking a bit. one feature that would be a good add is not only being able to flip the video up side down but rotate it so you can mount it on a wall and have the video rotated to be level. the motion detection is bit useless. all night long it will record a pesky moth but during the day I can walk past it in front of it and it won't record. I have it set to the most sensitive setting (maybe that's why the moth is always showing up) but it misses other movement. if there is a way to fix these issues I would consider giving it a 4 star rating. this definitely isn't going to help you identify a burglar who broke in but will at least help see when someone is in your house when they are not supposed to (if the motion detection works)Stop making landfill

I’ve tried a lot of other tracking devices, including those generic ones you can purchase anywhere. This device attests to the saying, you get what you pay for. The Cube tracker is the perfect mix of hardware and software. First the hardware, super well built, responsive button, compact and solid—I am not afraid to strap it onto anything. Then the software—the app is so easy to use. I cannot go wrong with anything I click. Setting up the device is easy. Pairing was a breeze and the app can recognize the device within a couple of minutes. One thing, the app requested for me to turn on my location all the time. I have some hesitation with allowing the my phone’s location all the time to perfectly use the app. I don’t know if I am just mistaking it—but I am thinking, it should be the location of the Cube all the time, not my phone. So I need to understand why I need to have my location accessed to read where the Cube is. Anyway, back to the app, I just click the Cube in the app and I see it’s location. It tracks where it is and it also tracks where it has been—the exact path. So that’s great. I can see where the tracker has been day-by-day. The map it provides is not too shabby either—there are notable POIs in the map, like restaurants, community centers, post offices, etc. There are pretty cool features on it too—like sharing the location with others, getting alerts in reference to my location, even fencing areas so it can save battery or it can let you know whether the cube has reached a certain location I set up. Speaking of saving battery, I have been using it for a week, attached to another car, without using the save battery feature of the Cube, and I still have 68%. I started on a full charge and after a week of use, I still have 68% battery—which is so cool. And another cool feature is, the Cube has a button that you can program—press it a certain number of times and it can notify someone of a custom message, like where I am or if I need help. It is a really useful device. There is a data subscription though, which is expected because it has to communicate with you wherever it is. But it is a perfect companion with the kids (especially with the dangers out there), or our other cars, etc. I super recommend!DarR

What I like the most about this GPS tracker is its convenience to be placed anywhere. Its small, solid, long lasting Battery (specs states from 10-60 days depending on the configuration), can be discretely placed in the car or any other place you want it. You can carry with you, in case you are in a country where you don’t feel safe, you can put in your bag while you are traveling in case you are not feeling confident with the airline baggage service, so the GPS coverage is worldwide, or you can attach it to your pet while you are walking and have peace of mind if he got lost. But basically if your car is stolen, this is the device you want to locate it. It is very accurate, and because it has its own battery, it doesn’t mater if the thieves disconnect the Battery of the vehicle, whenever is hidden the Tracker it it will continue providing the location. You can hardwire in the car with the USB-micro USB cable that comes with the device, and then look for the way to hide it in the car, so it will not run off battery. The setup is pretty simple, just follow the instructions, first you install the Cube Tracker app, this can be found either Apple Store or Google Play. Create an account. It is going to ask you the payment method. $16.50 is reasonable, I am paying the same amount for the Kahu lojack GPS tracker service, I have installed in my car, and doesn’t have the advantage that this Cube tracker offers, where I can use it anywhere. Besides, the monthly data plan doesn’t have a fee for cancelling or restart the service, which is very convenient. Then, you have to give it permission locations all the time, press and hold until it beeps the button to pair it via Bluetooth with the app, and finally add the serial number of the device and that is all. One cool thing I noticed is that the app comes with the option to make it ring, in case you are looking for it. The app offers some other options, like create a virtual fence, so if the vehicle left the boundaries you have set up, the app will alert you, SOS Button so you can send a prerecorded text message along with your location to your family and friends. I think this is a very convenient, Multipurpose and affordable device that will give you peace of mind.gonzaloejimenez

I’ve been looking for a more versatile tracker and this one fits the bill. The fact that this uses a combination of GPS, cellular, wifi, AND bluetooth for tracking, makes this tracker extremely versatile with how you can use it as well as its accuracy. // Versatility I can use this for tracking my vehicle(s), pets, bikes, and even myself (more details on that in the Sharing section). It’s small enough where I can easily hide it in my vehicle and there are built in holes on each side of the Cube so I can attach it to a dog collar easily. It’s not quite small enough to hide it inside most bicycle frames but it can easily fit inside a little saddle bag. // Sharing Location with Friends and Family You can share the location of the tracker with your friends and family so this is where you can track yourself and share the location with your chosen contacts so this could be useful where let’s say you were going backpacking or traveling alone, you can have this on you so your loved ones know where you are. // Location History I really like the fact that it not only shows its current location in the app but also the location history so you can see where this tracker has been. Super cool. // Virtual Fence Another feature I really love is the virtual fence feature where it can alert you if the tracker goes outside of a defined zone. // Audible Tones This tracker can also make pretty loud beeps/ringtones for tracking it down when you get within a closer proximity of about 20-25 feet and the ringtones are fairly unique so I think for most people you should be able to hear it even from a distance. // Battery Life Battery life will vary based on how you use it when it comes to tracking intervals, strength of cell signals, and a host of other factors. Real-world usage for me was about 2 weeks which may pale in comparison to bluetooth-only trackers but I think that’s probably to be expected since this leverages many more methods of tracking/communication. What’s also nice is that they have a setting where you can set up a “Safe Zone” based on a location where if it senses that its in this zone, like lets say your house, it can go into a power saving mode where its not using a cell signal to save on battery life. // Subscription Being that this tracker uses cellular in addition to GPS, wifi and bluetooth, this device has a subscription associated with it starting at $16.50/month which isn’t necessarily a drop in the bucket but I think of it as something like insurance for anything of high value. For the use case of keeping track of a pet I think that’s well worth it. Also, at just $29 for the tracker itself, that’s actually not a bad monthly price to pay considering the device itself it rather inexpensive.gwtbike

Absolutely useless product. I am aware this is only useful for 24 hours. My dog enjoyed eating it as a treat but other than that it's useless! It did absolutely nothing in 24 hours if anything it seemed like it made it worse! All it seemed to do was irritate the fleas and make them bite more! Also another thing to note after taking this my dogs were extremely extremely thirsty like I've never seen before! Please beware and don't waste your money on this useless product like I did pay the extra 20 dollars and go buy a soresto collar.V

My poor boy. The fleas love him. I can give him a flea bath every day and he's still infested. After trying daily baths, over the counter remides treating my yard and topical treatments, nothing worked so I decided to try a oral treatment. I swear by this. After one treatment I would find fleas on my bed (he jumps up on my bed when I'm not looking because I didn't want to share his unwanted friends) my blanket was covered…. of dead or dying fleas. 1 TREATMENT people. Since I do have two big dogs I will be spending the money monthly. Works great and we'll worth it. And my dogs eat the treatment with no issues.Joanne McCullough

I wanted this to work so bad because my dog is highly allergic to fleas and shreds himself up even when he has the topical flea prevention. Even if a dog around him has fleas he breaks out (our neighbor dog has fleas so my poor pup get around them). I saw this and wanted to try to give him some relief to my itchy pooch. The first day, I saw 3 fleas on my dog and purposefully left them on there to see if it worked. I came back in an hour and they were still there. I figured since it says up to 4 hrs I would wait. Later in the day I checked him, fleas still there. So I thought may it took some time for his body to get accustomed to it. The next day same story, he went outside in the morning I checked him saw he has some fleas, gave him a pill checked him about an hour and a half later, fleas are still having a party. Let it set for the rest of the afternoon and checked him before dinner, still the fleas are alive and kicking. 3rd day same story. At this point I can see it isn’t working and I wasted the $25 it costs for it. At least I didn’t spend the $50 for the month. Look at the reviews and notice several of us back to back have rated it the same so obviously something is wrong here. Avoid and save your money and spend it on the more expensive one!Kate

This dog food looks like and upgrade for my dogs before I even opened the bag. The packaging is so elegant and shows the fresh salmon. Once opening the bag, it does have an overwhelming salmon smell but I can get over that if my dogs love it. I filled up my 17 year old chihuahuas bowl and my two year old lab insisted she have some as well even though it says it’s for smaller breeds she can’t be left out. They both ate it all up and loved it. My older dog is very picky and it’s also hard for her to eat a lot of dog food anymore because of her old teeth but she didn’t seem to have any issues. I would for sure buy this again for my dogs, the ingredients and quality of the food won me over. I did receive free via Influenster it that doesn’t chAnge my review.michelle.a

I received this product complimentary but this is my honest opinion. My dog honestly loves this new food. He usually gets excited for new food but gets bored easily but this was not the case this time! He actually looks forward to his feeding times and devours the bowls each time. I like the high quality ingredients and the fact that beef, lamb and salmon are the first ingredients in the list followed by sweet potato. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my dog is eating real ingredients. The size of the kibble is perfect, not too big and not too small for a bigger breed like mine. Highly recommend!elena.p

My two golden doodle/husky mix dogs are not on a grain free diet. One of them seems to have some kind of food sensitivity, as he is always scratching his face after he eats. I was excited to have him try the Merrick Grain Free Real + Chicken and Sweet Potato Recipe, to see if he still had the same issue. He seemed excited too smell the bag and to try a few pieces of kibble. He was not happy when I mixed it with his current food though. He refused to eat. He has a history of being picky so I wasn't surprised. I guess he likes his current food better. I really like the ingredient list but I will be sticking with what he will eat.jamie.a

Great little unit for my tinny I have bought to be a topper. Display unit bracket is easy to remove, attach and adjust. Basic sounder functions seem good for price and my purpose. Gps Speed function works. I have not used way points yet. I downloaded Lowrance app, but my opinion not worth downloading for this as no mapping functions with this unit which fine for my purpose of Creek use. I have an Lowrance Elite ti in my bigger boat which is a better unit for mapping and fish finding inshore and offshore/Reef/shoals. I alsways run a vertical slide mount for the transducer mount on my boats that will be beached, Suggest buy one if you need as stops damage to transducer and mount. Overall good little unit for $150 on sale.Sandy1

Walmart is a great store and ships fast. That said, This Lowrance Hook2 4x (Bullet) very hard to figure out. Read that again. despite instructions. Although mounted easy enough. YouTube has a ton of videos about the dreaded live mode weird screen I failed to see before buying. Jumbled numbers and white screen with intermittent colors has something to do with actual depth. Well this is all I get from the beginning. BTW This has no GPS but upon inspection it has no slot to get it or the maps if you wanted it later. So what you see is what you get. So far for me it's been a nightmare of self contained grimness. Its very hard to figure out. Maybe it's the auto depth. I suppose I need a months worth of YouTube set up and trouble shooting. I have zero tech savvy so it could just be me. Yes I'm aware of water depth placement of the transducer. It's fine on the Yakattack adjustable arm I pre-purchased before it arrived. And it mounted up perfectly. Note : it never just worked and suddenly didn't. It has always had this weird screen from the beginning. Except for running in the factory programmed simulation mode. That's completely fine? I give this a 2 for being tech unfriendly to us novices and sub Einstein's.KingDave

The fish finder does not show depth like it does in the picture… It just shows the (range) its scanning. I would love for it to show what depth I am in at the moment and for it to be visible for old eyes and maybe high lighted, but I digress… The unit does not show currant depth for me… I am very disappointed in every aspect in the manual… Nowhere I mean no where does it show my problem… In fact the manual is lacking very lacking in operation. This is the first time I have used the Lowrance brand and I knew I was taking a risk using such a cheap unit but reading other reviews I purchased it… I am unhappy about this purchase. I feel I was sold a cheap product that does not perform as advertised… I threw away the box and probably cant return this product, but that doesnt mean I cant leave a review that might save someone else the problem I have… Do not buy this product… It is cheap and the instructions are not complete. I am forced to go to youtube to find out all the functions of this product and how to resolve problems with this unit… I though hey save a few bucks buy this unit, but I should have known you get what you pay for… I was lured in by the reviews that now I think are biased… I doubt this review will be posted… Lowrance has failed in a big way and we the public have to speak up and get justice for the negligence of lower tier products.. Just because they are lower tier doesnt mean they shouldnt perform as advertised…edward

I have a pup that is a large breed, he looks like I been feeding him steak and potatoes cause he's so dang big. He is ALL puppy though. Chews on everything loves running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Been trying to train him to chill with me, yeah, right. He wants to play. And because he wants to play, he wants to run every stinkin where. Decided, for my sanity as well as his safety, I'd get this thing. Put the flags out, set it on a low static charge, and it didn't take long before he figured it out. You DO have to WORK a dog with this. It's not just a plug it up and watch their hair shoot up when they get popped. Walked him around the perimeter for 7 days, he sees and sniffs the flags. After that, I let him run around, and he got popped maybe 3 times, and figured it out. Now he's pretty dang happy, and I can let him rip around with zoomies while I work in the yard. He likes the freedom of being off leash in the yard, and like the fact that he's not road burger.SlimslowShady

I wanted to give it 5 stars so bad, but the batteries die pretty fast without warning. You need to keep at least one or two replacements on hand. I do love that it is wireless, that you can choose different ranges. But I had one dog that would escape no matter what. Portable wireless system sets up in 1-2 hours For dogs 8 lb. and up Fits neck sizes 6-28 in. Tone for training plus 5 levels of adjustable correction Tone-only mode alerts your pet with a beep Automatic safety shut-off Covers an adjustable circular area up to 1/2 acre (180 ft. in diameter) Expand containment size with additional wireless transmitters Add an unlimited number of pets with additional PetSafe® Wireless Fence Receiver Collars Waterproof receiver collar Collar uses replaceable PetSafe® RFA-67 battery (included) System is compatible with all PetSafe® Wireless Fence Receiver Collarsmandy.p

I have a 2 yr old LARGE French Mastiff that weighs 180ish! I bought with the (red in color) “stubborn” collar. We previously installed a wired underground fence. (Which I have to mention took 2 FULL DAYS TO INSTALL AND READY TO USE!!) My Bo would realize he was close to the boundary, take a step or two back then take a run right through it, with no second thought!!! We watched him do this several times. I guess he was thinking, well this is going to hurt but only for a few short seconds. Idk?? But it did NOT phase him one bit! I had talked to 4 or 5 people that had this system, so reluctantly I decided to give it a try. I thought to myself well if it doesn’t work I will simply return it, no harm no foul. My boyfriend had it installed and collar on Bo in 30 mins flat. We walked ole hard-headed Bo around maybe 4 times to show him the boundaries. Once he heard the beeping, he kept walking then he felt the shock 1 time and that must have been enough because he never ventured close again! It has been about 2 months of use and I would give it 100 STARS IF IT WAS AN OPTION! We live in a subdivision where houses are fairly close. I was ultimately worried that the zone would lead into the neighboring yard. (which was the #1 thing we are trying to prevent) And although it may, Bo doesn’t even attempt to go that far. I believe he now understands to stay in his own yard! Living in a subdivision, many people take walks and Bo just sits and watches them now!! Matter of fact, just to see, we have sent him outside WITHOUT the collar and ironically enough HE STAYS IN OUR YARD!! The ONLY complaint I have is the small clear piece on the collar broke off the first time I went to adjust the strength of the shock. So far it hasn’t effected anything so fingers crossed on that! Just an FYI, we set ours on a level 3 to begin with and my boyfriend was ready to give up, so I told him to have some patience and we just kept adjusting the level on the collar and we ended up discovering for Bo he needed to be set on a #6. Again, I repeat he weighs 180 lbs, and the Mastiff bread is KNOWN for their stubbornness. I would suggest starting at the lowest level for a smaller dog PLEASE! But, if you are hesitant as myself, about this system just give it a try AND I PROMISE YOU WILL BE SO SURPRISED!!!!! I love this system, and just hope that it lasts!!!!!!Owner of French Mastiff

This is a cute appliance and cleans up quickly. However, it gets super super hot on the outside as well as in. I would not let kids use this. The mini spaces for the dough are very small, so it is hard to get the right consistency to fill the very small bone shapes. It is easier to make in the oven, but if you just want to quickly make some bite size biscuits, this will work.Oneof5

I bought this as my dog has early stage kidney disease and cannot eat commercially processed treats (look at the ingredients, full of nasty stuff). I personally don’t use any of the recipes that came in the booklet but I make my treats out of egg whites, white flour and baby food. After a small learning curve of of thick to make the little rolls and cooking time they are coming out great. Another review said it was unsafe pressing the dough into the maker and she wants a more liquid recipe to pour. Id you did that you would essentially be making pancakes lol. A small amount of dough rolled up is all you need. Your hands don’t need to come near the warm plate at all. When you close the lid it will squish your dough to form perfect dog bone shaped treats. All of takes is a few times to figure out the consistency. I bought this on sale for $15.99 and it’s well with it.showard

I’m very picky about what I feed my pups, especially treats. I’ve discovered that oat flour is most easily digested, so I found a dog cookie recipe made with oat flour, incorporated sweet potato or pea baby food, and they love them! Next I’ll be looking into grinding up pecans, or maybe some pure peanut butter. The Dash Mini Dog Treat Maker, as with all the Dash appliances I own, provides me with a quick and easy way to dish up special treats in a Dash!Janice

We received a furReal Cinnamon My Styling Pony complimentary for testing purposes. My 8 year old daughter adores this toy. She likes that it comes with accessories to put on the horse. It has an assortment of felt flowers that can be attached to the rein of the horse and a removable headband to use as a flower crown. It has four removable horseshoes. It also comes with a apple shaped comb. She can comb it’s mane and tail. The apple shape can be “fed” to Cinnamon and she nibbles at it. Cinnamon makes sounds and moves her head when you pet her back. She can be put into a kneeling position as well. Her eyes open and close and are so cute with her long lashes. My daughter said it would be even better if she could walk!ReneeC

My daughters obsession right now is Horses/Unicorns so when she saw this toy she freaked out! The pony is super cute and comes with a lot of hair accessories, an apple brush and pink horse shoes. It also comes with a little crown for the horse so the child can decorate it with the included flowers. Needs AA batteries which are not included. I really like the night node too, not alot of toys have that. When put in night mode, the pony closes its eyes and begins to play calming music and its little cheeks glow. I think that is the cutest thing ever. My only down fall about this toy is that it says theres 80 different sounds but I can only make 5-6 at most sounds. I am following instructions but I still get the same sounds. My daughter obviously doesnt mind it. As long as shes happy, I am happyCarmenangelica

I have never owned a Nerf gun, so was not sure what to expect. The gun is massive, its got the nerf bullets with it and 2 different types to go in the 2 areas of the gun. There is the blue ones for the front which you have to pump and shoots out 6 bullets at once. The orange ones ho in the gun which there is a removable magazine to put them in. There are 2 triggers for the main part of the gun, one charges it and the other shoots. Then at the front there is a pump and button to do the 6 shots at once. I have to say because the gun is so big, it was uncomfortable to hold and difficult to do the button while aiming. My children also had the same issue but my husband found it to be about right for him, so feel this is a gun for the taller person. The pellets do not hurt as much as I had thought, although if you pump a lot the bullets do tend to go quite far quickly. I would recommend not aiming for face as I accidentally hit my son in the eye while trying out the gun. Overall this is a really fun nerf gun, its a bit big for me so I would recommend it as it is great fun and will be looking at others to enjoy as a family.Sher27

Premier Pet 60oz Pet Fountain was easy to assemble. The time from unboxing, rinsing off each piece and putting it together was under 10 minutes. The set up instructions were clearly written, were numbered, and the accompanied pictures were helpful. My cat started to drink from the fountain as soon as I had put it down and plugged it in. He seems to prefer to drink from one of the four free-falling water streams versus drinking directly out of the tray. However, I’ve seen him drink from the tray occasionally. Much to my surprise, he is drinking a whole lot more water than he was before. I not only see him at the fountain drinking multiple times per day, but have also noticed the increase in urine output when tending to his litter box. The fountain runs quietly. The constant water circulation helps to prevent gross stuff from growing, and collecting in the water he is drinking. I am happy to note that the water passing through is free from hair and other crud that I used to see floating about in his old water dish. (This fountain has two filters, a small carbon filter, and a foam filter which are included.) The bowl holds 60 ounces of water. The top comes off easily so you can refill and/or clean when needed. It’s easy enough to clean by hand, or you can put the pieces on the top shelf of the dishwasher if you prefer that. This was a great addition to my cats preventative health maintenance. I feel much better knowing he is drinking more water, and that it is a pleasant experience for him.IVIG Mom

Fantastic buy. Kitty drinks a lot more water now, gravity water container just wasn't enticing enough and required constant changing. Kitty drinks over 8oz of water a day now ontop of whatever hydration she gets from her wet food. I love how reasonably priced the extra filters are too, as this is often more expensive than the appliance itself! Had this for around 6 weeks now with zero issues, just keep on top of cleaning it regularly and changing the filters to keep kitty healthy and hydrated. It's pretty quiet, I have ours placed ontop of a folded up towel to help muffle some of the "vibration" sound, it did take kitty a few hours to get used to it. Amazingly satisfying to watch kitty drink, knowing lack of good hydration can be very harmful to a cats well being. Only downside I would mention is the "flow change" switch, its located on the motor, obviously, which is surrounded my a mesh protector of sorts, so when you re-cover it, it can often move the switch to a different position, im not knocking any stars off for that though as it just needs to be put together carefully, it is a design that could be revisited though.adam

Pros: Cats always seem to love running water and gravitate towards the dripping faucet! I think this really does encourage them to drink more water throughout the day and prevents it from becoming stagnant. Set up was very simple – there are a lot of pieces, but the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. It’s lightweight and once assembled, super easy to operate; it’s a simple plug that automatically turns it on when plugged in. In terms of noise, I was worried that it would be too loud but it only emits a low humming noise that I didn’t even notice after an hour or so. It is reasonably priced compared to other fountains I’ve seen – a great value for your $$!! Cons: Through no fault of the product itself, my cats did not care for this at all. They were absolutely freaked out by the fact that there was a new water bowl and it made noise. I had it running for about a day and they never seemed to get used to it and were on high alert/stressed out. It was sitting next to their other water bowls and I’m pretty sure that one of my cats didn’t drink water all day because he didn’t want to be near it! I give the product 5 stars still because it’s not the fountains fault that my cats are terrified. Additionally, our home utilizes well water. While we have a water softener, I suspect that because our water is hard, the bowl and filters will need to be cleaned and replaced more frequently than homes that use city water. While regular maintenance on something like this may not be a big deal for the average person, as a working mom with two young kids, adding additional tasks to my list isn’t necessarily conducive.Meg F

I have been purchasing Beneful for at least 4 years, if memory serves. After receiving some coupons in our newspaper, I decided to purchase Beneful to see if one of my older dogs would have less digestion problems. Logan loves every flavor that Beneful makes! He especially loves his veggies, barley, and rice. These items are very imprtant to Logan's health because they keep him regular. Like older adults, older dogs need dietary items that are good and good for them. Logan likes the Beneful dry also, but he does better on Beneful Wet foods. Our Vet says that even though Logan has been mistreated to the point that he has his digestion problems, Beneful is the best food for him and his 14 yr old system. He still likes his fresh salmon, wild rice, carrots and brussel sprouts he gets every other Sunday, but he's just as happy with his Beneful Chopped Beef and Chopped Salmon to name a couple. Thanks Purina for making something all of our adopted (and now our fostered dogs), really like and that is healthy for them. After being thrownaway, Purina helps us fit them all into our home with healthy food and lots of love.DawgLimoDriver

🐕🐩🐶🍖🐾 I have a little pomeranian that is very picky! He's a much older dog who has cataracts and isn't very active. He was a rescue dog when I got him he already had all his ailments. I really like that this food is mostly soft even though it is considered dry dog food. I also like that you could see the vegetables in the food as well! Gus really seem to enjoy this food which was surprising given how picky he actually is! At a good price point and it it looks good! I definitely recommend this for anyone that has a smaller breed of dog!🐕🐩🐶🍖🐾elizabeth.n

My 3 fur babies absolutely love beneful incredibites. The little bites is just right for them. I have tried different foods and different flavors of beneful but they hardly touch them. This one they have no problem chewing it down.Kay

This is an excellent purchase. It is lightweight which I love. I use this upstairs on my hardwood floors and small throw carpets. It sure beats having to lug my regular vacuum up and down 2 flights of steps! It has great suction on hardwood and carpet. Don't hesitate, it is a great buy.latt

I bought this to replace a 2-in-1 stick vacuum thats handle broke. I bought the Dirt Devil Express Lite because not only was it lightweight for me to handle, had a removable hands free dust buster, it also had a roller brush I can use for area rugs and gets in the edges of the carpet along the wall. The price was about the same as the one I had with less features, so it was a great value for the price. After putting it together I realized it also has another valuable feature. The filter is rubber and can be rinsed to get rid of dust. No nasty cioth filter that never gets clean and holds odors. I have respiratory condition and this will keep my house dust free! I am so excited to have such a powerful, yet lightweight sweeper. It will meet all my needs!Psmithny2

I work full time and run an animal rescue. I needed a strong vacuum for the intake room and had NO time to put something together. To my surprise the unit literally snapped together! It also has a button to turn the broom off which I LOVE (makes me wonder about those reviews that said the broom quit, it's not advertised on box only instruction guide). Also, those reviews that say it filled up fast..I believe it was designed for a small area and for that it works perfect! Thank you for making my life easier!Animal Lover

Was pups first type if hard/crunchy food. My pup loved it but we noticed he didn't get all the nutrition he needed. Wr bought powder to get him where he neededbto be. He grew out of the puppy food and has now changed to something else's. This was his only food he ate for the first year of his life as he didnt like any other brand we bought. He's a chocolate Labrador. This product may and my not be best. Some dogs don't get enough nutrition from this product if you notice this happening then please feed your dog something different.stephanie.t

Great for puppies. All the nutrients in one bag. Hills science is the only brand I feed my dogs. They have all stages of life. Nothing compares highly recommended 10/10. Nothing but empty bowls at feeding time. Reasonably priced, great quality.member-d46bb

My little senior dog loves this dog food, the delicious chicken flavor is packed into a tiny kibble for small dogs that prefer variety and easily digestible ingredients help support their energy levels. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a dog food made with natural ingredients containing minerals for immune system support as well as heart and kidney health. Go ahead and try it…your pooch will love it too!katrina.s

I've been using Blue Basics Limited Grain Free Senior dry with great success for my 16-year-old allergic dog for a couple years. When you changed the packaging, you also changed the formulation which caused massive diarrhea. Took several days for me to get it stopped, my carpet is ruined, and even though you make it appear it's the same thing in the picture above it's not when I compared labels. Very unhappy! Luckily, Pet Smart who I purchased it through gave me a refund. But that doesn't replace my carpet or help me with my dog. My senior dog can't eat grains including oatmeal and brown rice.Mad customer

We have 3 dogs and this food has been great! We have a Beagle mix , Old English Bulldog and a French Bulldog. They love the salmon flavor and gobble the food up every day. This food has Good Grains which dogs need. This food takes care of our dogs sensitive skin and stomach issues. We are very happy with this Blue Buffalo dog food. The food was fresh and delivered free in a timely fashion. Great prices! Thank you. Happy customers and doggies 😊Lorrie

Upon delivery, the dogs knew there was something in the box for them- especially the smallest one; Betty, a teacup chihuahua my mother adopted a several months ago. Duncan is the pug in the photos; he was welcomed in their home around Easter this year and is a picky eater so I wanted to get his reaction most of all. You can see how he does the sniff test, takes a bite, absolutely dives in the bowl, eats every bite and passes out! This food worked for each of our dogs and of course the older ones wanted to get it as well. The pieces are a bit large for the 3 pound chihuahua but she is so feisty (and our veterinarian seriously approved the food choice) so we let her have a few nuggets with the others. I like the house of lamb and rice because lamb is usually a protein that dogs can digest without much chance of an allergy and rice is so much better than corn fillers. I used to rotate Nature's Recipe food in my adult Rottweiler's diet but had not used the puppy formula before. I can honestly say my mom bought a second bag for her house yesterday and I recommend it as well.becky.s

So many of us pet parents and babies have come to depend on this food. I see so many pleas just in these reviews alone to bring it back. Your company wanted "enough people" to come forward that use this product. Well, here we are! We get the standard "we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue…". Obviously it wasn't that difficult because it was discontinued without warning. For us, I'm trying to transition my baby to something else. She has so many different food allergies that THIS was the ONLY food that she would not get sick from. She has been sick now for the last 4 months and recently started vomiting blood because her poor little system cannot tolerate other food. I urge you, I beg you from one pet Mama to another- PLEASE consider bringing back this formula. So many of us depend on it. Sadly, some may lose their babies because they simply cannot feed anything else all due to your company not finding it financially conducive to continue production. Please have a heart and sympathize with us and what we're going through.Jackchimama

My dogs LOVE Nature's Recipe Lamb and Rice Dry Dog Food! Thanks to Influenster, I was gifted this dog food in exchange for my honest review. I've been feeding my dogs Nature's Recipe for a few years now, but just the wet food. This was my very first experience with their dry food, simply because I cannot locate it in store anywhere even remotely close to me. I wish had been able to try it years ago, because my 2 small dogs can't get enough. I'm glad they are finally hooked on something as nutritious and healthy as Nature's Recipe Lamb and Rice. I typically serve them just the dry kernels throughout the day, at their disposal, and then for dinner I mix any remaining kernels plus a few extra, with some plain shredded boiled chicken, steamed rice, and different bone broths depending on the day, to give it some extra flavor. Just the kernels provide a healthy, balanced diet alone! Nature's Recipe is trusted, affordable brand, that my dogs love, and probably most underappreciated is that it leaves no lingering stinky weird aromas like I've noticed with some dry dog food kernels I've tried lately. hmmmm. #complimentary #FuelTheWag @Influenster @naturesrecipeblair.g

We have a Ring Indoor Cam in one of our rooms (Where one of our cats stays when we aren't home) so we can monitor our pets while we are at work. We use a few cameras , different brands, and the Ring is exceptional. We have 2 way speech on it, so we can talk to and be spoken to back, it has an alarm option and the ability to record footage. Mine needs a subscription though to save footage (which is a monthly fee), which is the only downside as our others save the footage on Memory cards by looping. The footage of these Ring cameras are clear and great, and has the ability to change into night vision too which is great. You can be alerted when there is motion, and the camera size is quite small and minimalistic and doesn't take up much room or look like an eyesore. If you are happy about paying a monthly subscription then this is great, although you can still run it without one (access via their app on your phone) but you can just view, not save footage. A great quality camera with high resolution and clear footage- The ability to activate the alarm is great if you ever need to as well.michelle.m

Pretty easy setup to Ring security system. Only 1 camera hung on software update but the rest were smooth. The Ring app is pretty good. Shows bandwidth use which is helpful for limited data plans. Can set motion zones like Google Nest. Video history – I like Google Nest's history scrolling and review much better. I try to view specific timeframes in Ring app but video will scroll to another time period. Nest is smooth and easy in this respect. I admit is could be user error.AKtravels

I purchased this in-door security camera to protect my privacy of my bedroom as I live in shared accommodation and wanted to make sure nobody was sneaking around in my bedroom. The camera works great and the motion detection and video quality is incredible for the price. However the sound quality is inherently and noticeably worse; the microphone on the camera itself is pretty God awful unless it is placed in the same room as the broadband box, and the same goes for the talk-back feature; the speaker on the microphone emits barely any viable sound. One thing I did not realise was when signing up with Ring, the video and motion capture storage is actually not included with the camera, and it costs £2 per month as a somewhat hidden subscription fee. All in all i'm not entirely disappointed with the camera because of the price tag – but it could definitely be better.Wangdalf

For YEARS I recommended these to everyone and anyone within ear shot. We breed, raise, train poodles and Bernese mountain dogs. These dogs can be anywhere from 1000-5000 a piece however the pain my family is feeling from this completely avoidable losses no amount can fix. We have not lost just one family member but seven senselessly. It wasn’t till a vet tech advised me in line at our Petco not to buy this product that this was what was making dogs sick! Our puppies and adults all dogs all wore these and experienced vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, spontaneous abortions, chemical burns and the worst death. My family’s heart is broken, it was to the to the point that we were drowning our pets medical bills. Trying to save everyone one else who were originally misdiagnosed because this company FAILED to inform their customers! Shame on you Seresto!Brooke Dent

The pets in our house receive love in frequent Caresses', Brushings, Gardens for play and Special beds for sleep. Above ALL, they receive New Seresto Collars on Valentine's day each year ! Thus, they are protected throughout the year from those nasty ticks and fleas that would love to snuggle into their fur and pester the cats and dogs all season. Stopping our capture /neuter/release program of 35 years, didn't leave us free of cats. We three ranch wives found ourselves still with cats, after the "DUMPING" ceased. And, praying we outlive them ! We were fortunate in finding homes along the way, for kittens and adult cats that were eager to have forever homes. But, unfortunately, there are always the few that pass the "cute-adopt me" stage. Our ranch is currently "BLESSED" with 9, yes NINE varied aged, varied breed CATS – All of whom are loved dearly by all who share their lives. Along with 2 small dogs, expenses would be great if not for PET MEDS ! SERESTO cat & dog purchases are our most important ! With SORESTO, we have never had an infestation of fleas. With the collars they are free to roam our gardens and acreage in comfort. The collars are VERY IMPORTANT to us and the pets lives. We don't need to round up the population for monthly treatments- have no worry a treatment has worn or washed away. Collars can be removed and replaced for bathing and grooming. I sometimes wonder = JUST HOW DID WE MANAGED WITHOUT THEM ! ! ! ! Yes, the collars may seem a bit pricey, BUT WELL WORTH IT ! Lane Unser BBB Ranch Dripping Springs TXLANE

Oversight Subcommittee Report Reveals EPA Failed to Protect Pets, Owners From Dangerous Flea and Tick Collar
Jun 15, 2022 Press Release
Washington, D.C. (June 15, 2022)—Today, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, released a staff report entitled “Seresto Flea and Tick Collars: Examining Why a Product Linked to More than 2,500 Pet Deaths Remains on the Market,” which details the findings of the Subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into the safety of the Seresto flea and tick collar. The report reveals that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under previous administrations was aware of the dangers of the Seresto collar as early as 2015 and failed to take action to protect pets and their owners. Scientific experts, a former EPA official, and pet owners will testify about the dangers of the Seresto collar and the findings of the Subcommittee’s report at a hearing this afternoon.

“It is unacceptable that the EPA has been aware of the Seresto collar’s safety concerns for years and has continued to allow Americans to unknowingly put their pets in danger by using a product they have been led to believe is safe,” said Chairman Krishnamoorthi. “While I am pleased by the EPA’s new commitment to revisit the incident data, I urge the agency to initiate formal Notice of Intent to Cancel proceedings to determine whether the Seresto collar should be removed from the market, including a comprehensive cost-benefit review of its serious risks. Following the Subcommittee’s disturbing findings, I believe the EPA must expand its data collection standards and more strictly follow its scientific review process to ensure that dangerous products are not permitted to stay on the market and threaten the welfare of pets that so many Americans view as family.”

The Seresto flea and tick collar received EPA approval in 2012 and was introduced to the market in 2013. Since then, Bayer—the original brand owner of the collar—and Elanco—which purchased the product in 2020, have sold more than 30 million collars. Pet owners embraced the convenience of the product, which provides 8 months of flea and tick protection for dogs and cats for under $70, and which is widely sold by pet specialty stores, online pet pharmacies, and large online retailers.

The Subcommittee launched its investigation into the collars in March 2021, following the publication of an investigative report which revealed that, as of June 2020, there had been more than 75,000 incidents and approximately 1,700 pet deaths linked to the Seresto collar. Since then, the reported numbers have increased to more than 98,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths.

The Subcommittee reviewed emails from the EPA, as well as documents from Bayer and Elanco, that showed the EPA was aware of these incident numbers and the dangers caused by the collar yet failed to act. Documents and communications obtained by the Subcommittee reveal:

EPA Rushed Seresto’s Approval Through a Flawed Scientific Review Process: An EPA Risk Manager wrote in 2016 that the agency “rushed” the Seresto collar’s registration so that the CDC could use the collars in a study. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation found that key studies that tested the Seresto collar on adult dogs and cats were not acceptable because the studies “greatly under-estimated the exposures” to one of the collar’s active ingredients.

I received a little bag of this and normally feed my dog high quality expensive food but thought I would give them a little. They love it more than any other food they've had before (Purina pro plan, Costco, tractor supply, zignature). When I grab the little bag, both dogs run to the kitchen to eat and my Dane shoves his head in the bag to eat it. Neither dog is overly food motivated and will leave their food all day every day. I'm shocked by how much they love it. They also had zero belly issues from trying this new food.amber.l

After Iams was out of stock, I got Pedigree. The dog eats it, but does not like it. Feed this to any dog you want to survive. That is it's only purpose. Eventually the dog gets hungry enough to eat it. I leave full bowl out all day and it does NOT like Pedigree. I had to by a special slow eat bowl for IAMS. Pedigree: corn (cobs, kernalsBryan

I bought Pedigree Small Breed a week ago and my Maltese / Shih Tzu mix loves it! It's very easy for her to chew, the size of the pieces are perfect for her. There are so many brands she hasnt exactly been a fan of at all. Nearly as if she would have to really starve herself to build the courage to eat but not Pedigree foods! With Pedigree, her poop is also showing healthy signs in color, size and texture. She's much more energetic after eating sleeps a lot better due to not having any upset stomach aches or still being hungry! She also shows signs of excitement when she knows she's about to be fed Pedigree!jaelinn.c

This is another product that I really wanted to love, but didn't. I just don't feel the need to have a smart speaker at my beck and call. To be honest Alexa and Google Assistant are better at that than Siri. I'm a prominent Apple user, but I'm honest. What really hurts this cute little speaker is that it could be amazing, IF Apple allowed the user to determine how it connected, or improve the connectivity. Here is my rant: I have the Mac mini 2020. These don't have a mic and a poor onboard speaker. So, I looked into using this as an extension. You would think that APPLE, would have seen this coming, and made a no-brainer up-sale opportunity. NO. The mic won't sync, and, as an external speaker, the audio delay and anomalous behavior is enough to think that you've time traveled to 15 years ago. Also, because what drives this speaker is AirPlay, it appears to have a mind of its own at times, playing what was left in its queue, vs what you want to play from your device–Assuming it is able to tell which device you want to connect to at the time. Ultimately I just found it to NOT be worth my time nor the money I spent and I returned it. Because my simple JBL Charge 3.0 Bluetooth speaker was far more reliable in terms of responsiveness with less quirky behavior. In my opinion, Apple really dropped the ball on a use-case scenario that they either didn't see coming, or didn't care to capitalize on.Rich5370

I got tired of Alexa's "by the way! advertising", among other things, and got lost trying to configure Google's whatever-they-are-calling-it-this-week voice activated service. Having a lot of Apple gear already, I decided to give HomeKit a try. I use HomeKit (now Apple Home) via HomeBridge in a Raspberry Pi to control a lot of devices that are not Home(kit) compatible. It runs fine; all the more reason I am pleased. I am VERY pleased with the build quality and appearance, and the ease of setup if you have an iPhone. Not sure how it would set up otherwise, but with an iPhone, and I presume with an iPad, setup is easy as falling off a log. The sound quality is good, but be advised: I am not using my HomePod Mini for music. Just voice activation, weather reports, and answering questions. Example: "Hey, Siri, what is 274 pound converted to kilograms?" My ONE cause for four stars rather than five: there is no means to keep Siri from being a bit verbose. I would like to say "Hey, Siri, turn on piano area floor lamps", and it just does it. Maybe with a little beep or double tone like Alexa does. Instead, Siri is a bit wordy at times, other times, either nothing, or "done!" (I am using the Irish male Siri voice.) If you are using Lutron for lighting, or are buying devices labeled "HomeKit Compatible", you are all set. If you are already dialed in to, say, a bunch of cloud-based devices, or, like me, a lot of Z-Wave and Zigbee items, HomeKit may not be for you unless you use something like HomeBridge or Home Assistant to join it up.TheRetiredViking

I bought the K-Mini Plus and just used it today for first time. I replaced a K-Mini that worked for a little less than 3 years, but I loved it. I live alone and make 2-3 cups of coffee a day. So far, so good; but I don’t really think the “stronger” brew button does anything because the strength of the coffee brewed tastes exactly the same as what I brewed in the K-mini that didn’t have this feature. I’m using the same flavors and amount of filtered water that I’ve always used. Disappointing, because I was looking forward to a stronger brew, and the main reason I purchased the plus instead of just the mini. Also, this brewer doesn’t brew my coffee as hot as my previous K-mini. It’s okay but not as hot as I’d prefer; just barely passable, which is disappointing. I shouldn’t have to buy the “mac daddy” big brewer so that I can adjust the temperature; especially since my previous K-mini brewed a hotter cup of java. I took excellent care of my previous brewer, keeping it descaled and clean, used only filtered water, etc., but it started acting up about 2.5 years after purchasing it. I was able to fix the issues by watching videos, but then the heating mechanism died. I’m hoping this brewer lasts at least 5 years. My original big K-cup brewer lasted over 10 years! I moved to a small condo that has a small kitchen, so the mini size is crucial to me. If this K-Mini Plus brewer doesn’t last, I’ll be purchasing a knockoff brand because from what I’ve read, they last about 2-3 years and they are much cheaper. For now I’m recommending the brewer, but I’ll edit my review in a yea or sooner if I have any issues.Flagal4ever

Bought it Oct-20, great design, fit, functionality. Just a bit pricy but worth it for a quality machine right? Within 6 months the lights stopped working, so there was no way to know if it's on, off, heating, brewing etc. Fine, I could understand it well enough from the sound and actions it's performing. Within 12 months it can't finish a cup in one go. Either it doesn't suck in the water, or it dies immediately after the water is in the heating body. Then I have to restart it through a combination of; Open/close handle Press on/off button for 3 seconds Unplug/plug powerchord BUT since there's no working lights I can't tell if it started heating or not, so now I'm pressing my ear against the side of the machine to listen for the heaters starting up. The reason I bought this machine was for quick and automated coffee, but now I'm spending half of my morning just to get it to work. Conveniently the damage starting getting critical only after the warranty was up so Keurig won't do much about it. It's a shame because I like the product otherwise, but next time I buy a coffemaker I'll expect it to work for more than a year..randerxos

I love, love, love the Keurig K-Mini Plus, and you won't find a better price anywhere. Yes, I've checked. This is my 4th Mini-plus, so I now have a machine in every room of my house with running water. The K-cups make a perfect cup of coffee. Water run through the unit is the perfect temperature to brew a cup of tea (or cocoa) as well. I have had zero malfunctions with my Keurigs; they are all in perfect working order. I don't need to brew a whole pot of coffee, I just want a well-made steaming mug every once in a while. The water goes into the reservoir fresh each time, which is ideal for the best flavor. If you live in a multi-person household filled with coffee drinkers, maybe the larger machine with a multi-cup reservoir makes sense, but you still are making your brew one cup at a time. So, for my money I prefer the Mini Plus. The little flip-top reservoir is handy for cleaning, but I usually just leave it in place and pour the water in. Follow the directions and you'll be fine. This is a simple machine that makes a fine cup of coffee. I love the extras that QVC throws in for nothing–takes the sting out of the shipping cost. These are the best coffee makers I've ever had.rewmelaine
