I can’t resist chiming in here with my own Invoxia experiences. As mom to a pack of three adventurous beagles, I was constantly fretting over their whereabouts on our large property – until we found Invoxia. Small enough to fit snuggly on their collars and tough enough to withstand their rolicking escapades, it’s been a peace-of-mind godsend. At first, I balked at the price, but one trial and I was sold – you really do get what you pay for and the durability of the device has been worth every cent. Haven’t tried customer service yet; anyone had any expereinces they can share?
I recently invested in the Invoxia Cellular for my Lab, Charlie, and I must say, I’m impressed with its durability. For a rambunctious dog like him who enjoys outdoor adventures, it’s certainly holding up well! What initially attracted me to it was the size – small enough not to be obtrusive but still robust. Considering its price point though, I was a wee bit sceptical about the material quality, but so far it’s proving worth every penny. Does anyone know if they come with warranty coverages? And are there any specific cleaning advice for this product? Thanks in advance!
Couldn’t agree more with the durability comments. I bought a Whistle Go Explore for my Boxer, Bella, who’s got a knack for destroying anything attached to her collar. Yet this lil gadget has stood strong. Its size was a concern initially as Bella is pretty picky (she once refused to wear her festive Christmas bandana because it didn’t “feel right”). But she took to the Whistle Go Explore surprisingly quickly, without any of the fuss normally associated with anything new!
What makes it even more impressive is the fact that Bella is not just an active dog but also loves exploring rugged outdoor locations – she’s true to her breed and adventurous at heart. The device seems immune even to the roughest of terrains. Even from a price perspective, in my opinion, it’s a worthwhile investment considering the peace of mind you get by keeping an eye on your fur-baby’s whereabouts all day.
As for tips? Well, if your dog has sensitive skin like Bella, make sure you move the device around on their collar every few days to avoid any irritation spots. Has anyone else tried any other durable tracker for their outdoorsy pooch?
Remember: No device should replace adequate supervision and safety measures while outdoors with your dogs! This is only a tool to enhance those efforts.
I totally agree with you on the Pawfit 3’s stylish design, it’s a standout for sure. Got one for my Labrador, Ruffles, about two months ago and he doesn’t mind wearing it at all – and trust me, he’s usually fussy about dog gear. The size was spot-on and its durability has been surprisingly good, considering his energetic personality and love for outdoors. What impressed me the most though is the battery life which is just phenomenal; hardly needs recharging.
For the price, I’d say it’s a pretty solid investment if you’re looking to keep tabs on your pooch’s activity levels. Just one little tip – make sure you explain to your furry friend what’s going on when you first put it on ’em; Ruffles was a bit disconcerted at first but got used to Pawfit after a day or two. Anyone else found their pup took a while to adjust?
I love your tech-focused perspective on the Halo Collar 3! I’ve got to hand it to them, they certainly know their audience. As a tech-lover myself, I really appreciated the smart features of the collar.
Now on to my experience – when paired with the app, this gadget was superb at keeping tabs on my Beagle’s location during her adventurous wandering through the woods behind our house. She doesn’t walways appreciate boundaries and has an annoying habit of chasing squirrels, so this feature alone was worth every penny!
In terms of comfort and fit, I did have to tweak it a bit to make sure there wasn’t too much pressure on her neck (remember always keep an eye out on your pet’s comfort). The GPS feature works like a charm but sucks battery life faster than you’d expect. If you’re planning to use it for an extended period, make sure you charge it fully before stepping out.
So, besides some battery hassles and getting the fitting right in the first few days, Halo Collar 3 has been an absolute game-changer for me! What is your take on its endurance over time? Anybody having issues with durability or material quality after using it longer term?
Anyone else noticed that your furball turns into a truffle pig when these Good n’ Fun treats are involved? I swear, my old Golden can track one down from a mile away – no matter how well I think I’ve hidden it. They’re a great size for her, annd pretty resilient in the face of her treasure hunting antics! Question tho – is anyone using these treat for dog training purposes? Just curious if they also do double duty as good rewards during training sessions or if they’re too distracting for that. And remember folks, as tasty as they seem to our canine compadres, if you notice any odd reactions consult with your vet.
Completely agree with your review! I switched my ol’ Boxer Buddy to Taste of the Wild nearly 3 years ago and, to be honest, it’s been nothing short of fantastic. Buddy’s coat shines brighter than ever and he really seems to enjoy every small kibble. The smaller pieces are ideal for his age; I’ve noticed far less tooth-related struggles during meal times. As per price, while slightly on the higher side, it’s worth every penny considering the nutritional benefits and Buddy’s renewed enthusiasm for food.
One quick tip: introducing this new food slowly by mixing it with their regular food works wonders, at least that’s how it went perfectly smooth for us. Worth giving a shot if anyone else is considering the switch!
Anyone tried other flavors from Taste of the Wild? Would love to hear how dogs reacted!
I’ve been feeding Cesar’s dry dog food to my pups for about 3 years now and honestly, I appreciate how the kibble size is just right for my smaller breeds. In terms of price, it’s within a reasonable range and the nutrients listed should cover basic dietary needs. Although it’s crucial to consult a vet for specific health concerns or dietary needs, as one size nutral solution doesn’t really fit all dogs, in my experience.
Now about durability, does anyone else notice if their dog’s teeth have benefited from this? Some claim dry food can help with dental health due to the added crunch factor. Although my poms sure do love the sound it makes.
And yes, always introducing new food gradually is key! Remember that abrupt changes in diet can upset their tummies. Anybody else got wisdom nuggets to share on transitioning dogs to a dry food diet?
P.S – Might be silly to ask but has anyone else sniffed this food? Strangely smells like biscuits! Or is just me with an overactive imagination? 😅
I’ve also been feeding my Lab Merrick for the last couple of years, mainly becuase of its ingredients quality and grain-free options. He seems to enjoy it and has had no noticeable issues. However, considering what you’ve mentioned about the k…, I am now wondering whether it’s the best option for his size and activity level. Have any of you noticed a significant difference after transitioning your larger breed dogs from Merrick to a different brand? I’d hate to change if it’s not necessary but also want to make sure I’m doing the best by my buddy.
I must say, I’m also sharing the same sentiments with everyone about Nature’s Promise Dry Dog Food. My Boston Terrier, Baxter, used to snub his nose at every other food I’d offer him until we tried this brand. Now mealtime is his favorite time of day! The kibble size is perfect for his smaller jaws, annd it seems realy substantial without shooting up in price. Plus, I noticed the ingredients are all-natural, making me feel good about what I’m feeding him. Anyone else seen improvements in the coat condition? Baxter’s looks shinier these days. Always remember though if a major dietary change is causing any issue, it’s best to consult with your vet!
While I can understand why many might lean towards Merrick (I actually did too initially given the brand’s reputation annd nutritional value) I ended up switching to Blue Buffalo for my golden retriever. My dog absolutely loved the taste of Merrick but had a tendency to gulp her food down too quick due to the smaller kibble size; this resulted in a couple of messy accidents around my living room rug. With Blue Buffalo, the kibble is slightly larger, which slows down her eating pace and seems to keep the mess at bay. Also, while slightly more expensive, I do feel like you get what you pay for. It might be worth considering if your pooch goes through similar issues or even jsut for a little change. Remember though, any significant diet changes should be gradual, always consult your vet first! Any thoughts on Blue Buffalo guys?
Oh man, I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been using Wellness Complete Health dry dog food for my golden retriever, Seb, for about a year now and the difference has been really noticeable. His fur is shinier, he seems way more energetic and even his bad breath isn’t that bad anymore! 😂 I find the kibble size to be just perfect for him and love that the bag reseals with ease – it definitely maintains freshness for longer. The only downside? It’s a bit on the pricey side but well worth every penny in my opinion. The transition was pretty smooth; we mixed his old food with this one over a week before completely switching. By the way, anyone else noticed improvements in their dogs’ dental health after switching here? Please consult your vet if you have any health concerns.
jsut throwing my two cents into the discussion here, folks! We’ve got a FitBark GPS on our boisterous Boxer, annd honestly, it’s been as tough as nails. He’s crash-d through bushes on trails and even decided to take an unplanned dip in our backyard pond once. It held up perfectly! In terms of sizing, well… Benny might just be a bit on the hefty side (we’re working on it), but the adjustable strap has worked just fine for us. So, the price point may be slightly steep, but I reckon you’re getting what you paid for – durability, reliability and peace of mind! Cheers, Sheffield Bob
Couldn’t agree more with the previous posters about Zuke’s treats. I’ve been using them for my lab, Max, for over three years now and I can definitely attest to their quality. In fact, they’ve become my go-to for training sessions thanks to their small size and Max’s love for them. Plus, the price isn’t too bad considering how long a bag can last us! Always remember tho, even if they are healthy treats, they should still be used in moderation – couldn’t hurt to consult your vet. Does anyone else use these as training rewards?
Merrick Treats: Pawsitively a Top Choice!
Body: Absolutely agree with the positive feedback here about Merrick dog treats! I was using a different treat for our Labrador pup Ruben’s training sessions, but ever since we switched to Merrick, he’s been noticeably more engaged. They seem to be the perfect size as Ruben gulps them right down and immediately looks for more. As for durability, while they are not intended as chew toys obviously, they last just long enough for him to enjoy them thoroughly. Plus, you get quite a volume per bag making them pretty worthwhile in terms of price.
A funny little aside – When we ran out of the Merrick treats for a couple of days and had to use our old ones temporarily, Ruben gave me the saddest look like “Where are the good ones?”. That being said, always remember if you notice any unusual behavior or reactions after switching food or treats, it’s best to contact your vet.
Anyone tried the dental version of these treats? I hear good things and wonder if they’re as big a hit with other dogs?
