Alright, I despise to be “that guy,” but my experience was a tad different. Had the gizmo for about 4-ish months now with our resident Houdini, an overly-energetic Vizsla named Romper. In terms of size and material, it’s really good. However, working in strides is another story. Our dog park escapades have seen some hiccups with the Invoxia not precisely being ‘durability superstar’ if you get what I mean. Price, tho, pretty decent for what it is.
Here’s a tip – avoid the whole romping in wet weather situation at all since our device didn’t quite take that too well – learned the hard way. Has anyone else had similar happenings or did Romper somehow manage to get the only flimsy one?
fellow dog enthusiasts! I’ve been using Pawfit 3 for around six months now, with my trusty Labrador, Rover. In terms of durability and price, it’s been a no-brainer—we’ve had some rough and tumble adventures, and it’s still in tip-top shape! My main gripe? The size is quite hefty for smaller breeds. So while I can vouch for its efficiency on a larger dog like mine, petite pooches could find it a tad overwhelming. I recommend trying to find something more size-appropriate if you’ve got an adorable Chihuahua or Pomeranian to kit out. Thoughts?
Totally agree with you about the durability and cool features of the Whistle Go Explore, but did anyone else find it a bit big for smaller breeds? I tried putting it on my little Pomeranian, Fluff, and it was certainly a sight! She strutted around looking like she was wearing a bulky walkie-talkie. I’m guessing this device is meant more for medium to large-sized dogs. What other tracking devices have worked well for those with smaller fur babies?
Jumpin’ in on this! I’ve been using the Halo Collar 3 with my two bundles of joy, a Bull Terrier and a Pomeranian, for about 4 months now and let me tell you – it works like magic! The custom invisible fenced areas are so handy for our weekend adventures. Both of them are quite active and love to dash about, but the collar has been holding up well – no durability issues so far.
To anyone considering buying it, make sure you fully charge it before first use as ours seemed to last much better that way. I too was skeptical initially due to the price tag but honestly? It’s worth every penny for the peace of mind it gives.
Though, does anyone else’s dog take some time getting used to it initially? Because my Pomeranian did scowl at me for a good two days. How do you handle the transition phase?
Absolutely agree with both of you about the benefits of Wellness Complete Health dry dog food. When I switched our family Lab, Archer, to this brand, it was a game-changer.
However, looking at alternatives I’d like to suggest trying “Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Dry Dog Food”. This brand, similar to Wellness, prioritizes high-quality ingredients and has worked wonders on Archer’s coat and energy levels too. Its single source protein and limited carb sources are particularly good if your dogs have any dietary sensitivities.
Ultimately though, every dog is different and what works wonderfully for one may not quite cut it for another. Always refer to your vet before making any major diet changes. Has anyone else tried Natural Balance and noticed improvements or differences?
Agreeing with everyone here, Charlee Bear treats are a big hit with my fur baby as well! What I really appreciate about these treats is the size – super handy for our obedience training sessions and not so big that they spoil his appetite. But gotta admit, he’s developed quite a penchant for the turkey liver & cranberries flavor. Just make sure to keep them securely sealed or they can get a bit hard over time. Anyone else noticed their pups having a favorite flavor too?
Absolutely agree on your review of Nature’s Promise Dry Dog Food! My Lab, Biscuit, is a notorious fusspot when it comes to meal times. Moving him to Nature’s Promise was pretty hassle-free. He loved the bite-sized kibbles which are perfect for his size and I noticed that they don’t crumble too easily too – Less mess, double win!
In terms of cost-efficiency, this brand hits the sweet spot – not too pricey but still offers good nutritional value. jsut remember to introduce new food gradually to your pet’s diet to avoid any digestion issues. Always consult with your vet for any concerns about changing diets though. How does your dog react when you switch their feeds though?
Just chiming in to agree that Charlee Bear treats have become quite a staple in my household as well. My Golden Retriever, Marley, is extremely food motivated and these work wonders when I’m training him. Their size actually works great for us because Marley tends to gulp down treats without really chewing – these small-sized tidbits ensure he doesn’t do that. I appreciate the price point too, you get a good quantity without breaking the bank. As always tho, a balanced diet is key – so be sure not to overdo the treats! Has anyone else noticed their dogs behaving better during training with these treats? Just curious!
I invested in a FitBark GPS for my adventurous terrier last year and have been so impressed. The size is spot-on – it’s not too bulky for her to carry around on her collar, plus the material has held up really well despite a few accidental ‘swimming lessons’ and tons of woodland walks. My one gripe would be the price, might seem a bit high upfront, but given the peace of mind, I deliberated and finally thought it’s worth it. Has anyone else had experiences with the battery life? Mine seems to run down quicker than I’d like.
I totally get why so many of you love Wellness treats. I’ve been buying them for my Golden Retriever, Benny, for quite a while now. Not only does he seem to love the taste, but they’re also a great size for a larger breed like him. Plus, the fact that they are grain-free is a real bonus as Benny has been dealing with sensitive digestion issues throughout his life.
Price-wise, they’re pretty much on par with other high-quality treats we’ve tried over the years. I mean, you do get what you pay for in terms of nutritional content and ingredient quality.
However, I’ll give potential buyers one piece of advice: be mindful of your dog’s chewing habits. Benny is a rather fast eater and sometimes he doesn’t chew these treats as thoroughly as he should; I guess they’re just too tasty!
Besides any specific health concerns which should definitely be discussed with a vet, has anyone else found this to be an issue? Could there be alternative treat choices suitable for fast eaters? Might help us slow-chewer pet parents out there!
A Note About Size When Using Airtag Pet Case
Body: jsut wanted to pop in and mention something about the size factor when it comes to these Airtags Pear Cases. I’ve got a pretty big Retriever, Charlie, and he doesn’t even notice that it’s on his collar – doesn’t bother him at all. The case is robust and has held up well during his outdoor shenanigans so far!
Regarding mini Schnauzers or other smaller breeds like Toby, I’d reckon the tag might be a bit cumbersome. Maybe you could consider attaching it only during walks or outdoor activities? Has anyone with small breed dogs had similar concerns or had their dogs become accustomed to wearing an Airtag? Always curious about other folks’ experiences!
Merrick Treats: Bigger Than You Think!
Absolutely concur with above observations! When I first introduced my energetic Springer Spaniel, Fidget, to Merrick dog treats, he took to them faster than a Frisbee on a Sunday afternoon. What struck me though was the size of these treats – they’re much larger than most other training rewards, which might not be perfect for smaller or medium sized dogs.
In terms of price and durability, they are indeed worth every penny. My fur kiddo absolutely devours them but they managed to hold their form quite well and didn’t go soft even after being opened, which is something I’ve noticed with other brands.
As an alternative suggestion, if you’re looking for slightly smaller-sized training rewards with equal pizazz and quality, do give Zuke’s Mini Naturals a shot. They’ve worked absolute wonders when it comes to working on Fidget’s recall command without contributing to any weight gain. They are bite-sized goodness packed with flavor that your pooch will love – mine certainly does!
Always remember each puppers preferences and dietary needs vary so don’t hesitate to experiment until you find what works best for your four-legged friend. And of course, if you notice any unusual reactions or change in behaviour after introducing new treats, consult your vet!
Been using the SpotOn GPS Fence for my risk-taking Rottweiler, Dave, who loves to explore. This gadget is surprisingly robust given its compact size and wasn’t noticeably intrusive for Dave – he hardly knew it was there after I initially put it on him. The durability and accuracy of this system are truly remarkable.
We took a camping trip out to the local nature reserve recently and I decided to put the SpotOn device to the test. I set up a custom fence around our campsite, and Dave didn’t wander off as he typically tends to during our outdoor trips. Saved me hours of ‘Dave wrangling’. The price may be a bit on the heavier side, but the peace of mind it brought me was well worth it in hindsight.
It takes some time for both you and your dog to get used to the system, not hard though. Worth noting that if your dog is disobedient or badly trained, this isn’t a magic solution – remember, tech can assist but can’t replace good training! Anyone else found they had a similar positive experience with SpotOn?
While I agree that the SpotOn GPS Fence has great convenience features and can provide a whole new level of freedom for our furry friends, I’ve found the size of the collar unit a bit bulky for my petite Shih Tzu, Millie. Plus10, considering the hefty price tag, it’s worth mentinoing it may not be affordable for all dog owners.
In terms of performance though, it’s true that SpotOn gives a boundary without physical barriers! That got me excited initially. However, due to Millie’s small frame and at times unpredictable behavior (Oh, you know these mischievous terriers!), I sticked to a traditional wired fence coupled with consistent obedience training which turned out more effective for us.
For those curious to give GPS fences a try yet intimidated by high-prices equipment like SpotOn – you might want to look into more budget-friendly alternatives such as the Findster Duo+. It doesn’t offer boundary settings but serves well in tracking your pup during outdoor adventures! Anyone else tried this or any other worthy options?
Absolutely agree with you on the Jiobit Next! We’ve got a lively border terrier who loves to wander, and this tracker has done wonders for our peace of mind. The battery life is surprisingly long-lasting and the device itself is pretty durable – Jerry’s rolled down hills, played tug-of-war with it, and it’s still going strong. For those considering purchasing, make sure to introduce it gradually to your dog; we associated it with treat time so now Jerry actually gets excited when it’s time to put it on! Definitely a worthwhile investment in my opinion, especially if your dog has a tiny streak of Houdini in them like ours does!
