Our 7 year old male loves stuffed animals and will play with them when we are busy but if we call him up he will sit with us forever! The puppies are very active and love to wrestle and play but if we pick them up and put them on our laps they immediately settle down and lay on our laps for a very long time. It is amazing how these dogs settle down and enjoy just sitting on your lap. An older shih tzu would be a great pet for an older person. Shih-tzu puppies need someone with alot of energy and can run fast enough to catch them! I advise that if you are going to get one of these dogs be prepared to pay to have them groomed regularly. They need the hair cleaned out of their ears, nails cut and the hair cut away from their eyes on a regular basis. —...

I was a little short on money one month so i bought just a little bag meow mix. I was very nervous, but as soon as i put it in his food bowl he loved it. Not only did he like it but his bad breath isn't to bad anymore. Im so glad i found...

Be advised, it should be Fragrance Free, otherwise the cat might not like it. (it happened to my cat). She didn't even like Fresh Start's Fragrance Free, it had carbon in it so I suspect that was the smell (confused because it was supposed to be perfume free). It does a very good job with clumps, sometimes I can wait until next morning to clean...

Thay have to be dropped off by 9 am and they call you when the dogs are done. I took my two boys in for grooming snd did not receive a call back. Around 2:30 I phoned, concerned cause of bathroom breaks and the older one does not eat early int he morning he eats later in the afternoon. WHen I phoned in the lady assured me that if they had been there that long that they would be let out and walked. And that treats ans water were provided for any animal there for over so many hours. I felt a bit at ease by this. Around 5 p.m. I was called to pick them up. When I did, both could hardly make it out the door before having to use the restroom. When they got home they consumed two large bowls of water letting me know that they had not been provided the care she stated. Both ate as if starved and I am sure they were. I phoned the owner of the facility and she told me that it was my fault for not having them in earlier. That if I had had...

I began to grow concerned when i noticed little pieces of the plastic had been chewed off the ball. For the next 3 days she had trouble going to the bathroom. So maybe she got plastic blocking her airway. I threw the ball away and since then she has been going to the bathroom fine. I wouldn't reccommend this toy for a...

I have a shepherd who weighs 95 pounds, and he can go through a large ham bone in less than five minutes. — — When one of my dog lists did a "not so secret santa" Christmas exchange this past year, the woman who drew my name knows about power chewers. Her dogs dwarf my shepherd. One of the thing she sent for Rambo was the Black Kong for Tenacious Chewers. It is touted as the world's strongest rubber dog toy.  After four and a half months of abuse, the Black Kong still lives!  — — The Kong is a 6-inch rubber tube with holes at each end.  You can stuff treats or peanut butter or cream cheese in the Kong, and this will keep your dog amused for hours. Even a power chewer!  A favorite is to stick cookie treats inside, then seal the ends with cream cheese or peanut butter and freeze the...

I've also seen my parent's dogs play with them, and I'm amused how each dog has a different strategy. Eventually, once they've gotten enough treats out of it they just start to carry the kong around in hopes that  a treat will appear inside of it! It's...

They also don't digest the same way that natural chew treats do. We used to give these to our dogs but stopped when we found that EVERY time our dogs felt ill afterwards. — — If you do give these treats supervise your pets 100% - your dog could choke if he swallows a large chunk or it could cause a life threatening bowel obstruction. —...

It does not have corn or harmful by-products and fillers like ALL of the grocery store brands have. — — We feed this food to our 2 dogs and have seen such positive changes in them since beginning this diet. Both have gorgeous skin & coats, great muscle tone and no more of those awful tear stains on their white faces! — — We also love the Raw foods made by Nature's Variety. —...

Both of my dogs have been completely tick and flea free.  They don't have the itching and problems they had using store bought products.  This product was referred to me by my vet and it was expensive but well worth it.  Never again will I subject my dogs to flea collars or store bought products.  Frontline is not for every dog.  My mother's dog is allergic to the ingredients in Frontline so please be careful after applying this product.  Watch your animal closely after applying and know that you CAN use liquid antihistamine in case of...

Zupreme has an amazing line of products for just about any animal imaginable. I especially like the Primate Biscuits, which I feed to my birds, squirrels, and other animals I have cared for. They are especially handy if I will be away overnight and want to be sure my animals have a nutritious snack while I am gone. It's great for their teeth/beaks, and they all love it. — —...

They are great weight and healthy. — I have a small terrier mix and a miniature Australian Shepard. — Only (and I mean only) drawback I have with this food is that it's $36 for a 40 lb bag, but when I am only buying it every 6 weeks, I really can't complain. —...
