It was a before bed post. Just looking for a place to purchase deer antler chews for dogs in bulk instead of paying $7-$15 a chew at the pet store. I remember someone in Pet Island posting a specific site.

Maybe? I'll give them a look over. I thought you could only get bullys there. cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Feb 27, 2014 |

cheese eats mouse posted:I'm looking for a site to purchase antlers in bulk. Try looking at etsy or local taxidermy or deer processing places because pet stores overcharge a lot on antlers. Like 3-5 pounds of antlers/antler bits on etsy for $10 shipped as opposed to $14 for a single piece at petco/smart. Although Petco does have some decently priced water buffalo horns so that's pretty cool. They seem to last longer than antlers. e: or that works whoops. I'll edit in a review later for some stuff.

Shnooks posted:Yes! I was just looking for this thread. I loved these things but the problem was finding refills consistently at a low price. When I got a second cat and added a new litter box I just bought a second genie cause it was ~$3 more than a refill at normal price. You can kind of rig up a temporary refill using a plastic bag but its clunky. I just looked and you can buy the refills on amazon in bulk pretty cheaply so I might pick one up again. I had just moved to scooping every day and using little ziplock sandwich bags. Since we are talking bout poop stuff i'd like to recommend Swheat Scoop litter. I switched to it after Scoop Away unscented changed their packaging and it suddenly had a scent, around the same time one of my cats started sneezing a lot as well.

Any recommendations for good slip leads? Pistol is just slightly too short for me to comfortably hold onto a goat lead at agility class, and the goat lead is just long enough that he gets his foot caught in it sometimes so it sucks all around but still I need some way to hang on to him between runs without having to fumble around with a leash clip.

I'd like to build my own cat wheel, but every design plan I've come across is the usual pinwheel version. There's an axis-free design that I'd really love to build, it looks like this

Can anyone recommend a good de-shedding tool for cats. My cats both seem to dislike my current one (or at least they try to eat it) and with spring arriving, shedding has kicked into high gear.

You'll brush another cat out of your existing one, I'm not kidding. N.B. if your cat is an older shorthair, try not to aggressively or over-brush them in certain places where their hair naturally thins or you end up with a bald spot. Sorry, Penelope.

Scaredy Cut Tiny Trim - RECOMMENDED - My dogs' hair doesn't grow but I'm using this for nether region dreadlock prevention. One of my dogs is kind of psycho when it comes to grooming so I went looking for options and found these. There is a nub between the handles so that the scissors don't make a scary sound and the points are actually rounded so that the dog won't get poked even if they lose their mind. I haven't tried the set that has clipper attachments but it looks pretty smart.

Kong Satestix - Recommend, I got one and it makes a good tug toy, however it does have the downside of looking like some kind of weird sex toy: I'm also after recommendations for a good covered-in litter box - Frodo keeps trying to eat Ringo's poop, and while that's kind of gross it also means he ends up eating silica crystals, which probably aren't good for him. At the moment I just have a generic high-sided box, so I'm hoping it's not too much of a leap for Ringo to go to pooping in an enclosed box.

Tina Stafford makes some nice agility slip leads. Her website's a little confusing (fourpawfun.com) - you have to reference the collar and design section to fill out an order form. I have a 3/4" martingale style collar with a quick release on a braided nylon lead (maybe 5'?). You can also customize a lot of aspects differently - get a single strand lead, with or without quick release buckle, or a braided fleece tug lead. Apart from that, I use a cheap 6' rope slip lead I got off of Amazon when I'm working with the shelter dogs, and that would probably work pretty well.

One of my Boston Terriers is an INSANE chewer. All the tuff toys he has mutilated. Deer antlers? Not a chance. However, my wife works at one of those pricey dog food stores and brought home some Himalayan chews the other day and so far they are amazing! http://www.amazon.com/Himalayan-Dog-Natural-Treat-Under/dp/B001J9SUHG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1395454502&sr=8-2&keywords=himalayan+chew It's been three days and he's hardly even put a dent in it after letting him have it each night for about 30 minutes each. HIGHLY recommended

I just DIY'd this thing up over the weekend after seeing those plastic containers at Officeworks for $6 each. I had some carpet squares lying around, and I bought some double sided carpet tape. Cut a basic hole in the plastic with a boxcutter (anything fancy and the plastic started to chip and shatter. Straight lines were fine), attach the carpet, then slice out the hole. Pudding jumped in before I was even finished. They didnt seem to have a problem jumping on top to investigate. As of this morning, both cats pooped in the uncovered boxes. I put the tops on before I left for work. Hope I dont go home and find poop everywhere.

I just got this beast of a cage for a very spoiled chinchilla. It was $260 at Petsmart, a Critter Nation model 162 double level cage. That woman on the right is probably 5'6" because the cage is 5'3" tall, 3' wide and 2' deep. It is huge and the white background does not do it justice. PROS: Large removable double doors on both floors Middle ramp can be fastened to close off hole between floors to separate animals or isolate them while cleaning Wheels move easily This cage is massive and will not shake or tip over any time soon They built little loops into the wires under the platforms so you can hang stuff from them Adjustable platform heights Ramps come with velcro-fastened machine washable fleece covers They sell expansion parts if this epic fortress still isn't enough for your spoiled pet CONS: The pans are very shallow (an inch maybe?) and bedding will easily get kicked everywhere. I plan on switching to fleece bedding as soon as we run out of aspen and paper stuff. Pans are made of plastic, so you'd better keep your chewing rodents preoccupied with other stuff It says "no tools required!" on the box. This is a drat LIE. A rubber mallet will be your best friend and possibly a cheap screwdriver to jimmy tight panels into place. Filing down the paint from the pegs may also help. It was a total fuckin' pain in the rear end to assemble and much cursing and sweating was involved but it is majestic to behold and our chinchilla couldn't stop chittering in glee.  I'll recommend it, because after the horribleness of assembly you'll never have to do that again.

Serella posted:PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder (2 Well), HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - This thing. This loving thing. It changed my life. My fatty cat was constantly begging for food, yowling for hours before dinner time. Finally fed up, I bought this after reviewing basin-style feeders and determining that my cat would probably just reach up inside the drat thing like other people's fatty cats did. This thing is awesome. You fill each side with food and set the timers for up to 48 hours (they're crank timers, so it's not 100% accurate, but you can get it within an hour of the time you want). I feed my cat twice a day with it, or I can set one for 24 hours and the other for 48 if I'm going to be out of town for a few days. My cat has never managed to break into this thing, despite spending the first few weeks trying his damnedest. It's not a mechanism they can pop open, it just will not give until the timer clicks and releases the lid. Cat even knocked it off the counter once, but it just kept ticking and didn't pop open. Not only that, but it's been running on the same battery (a single loving AA) since I bought it over a year ago, so it's super economical. I love this thing. My cat no longer yowls at me for food, but instead tears rear end across the house when he hears one of the lids pop open.

However, my wife works at one of those pricey dog food stores and brought home some Himalayan chews the other day and so far they are amazing! These things are fantastic. They are made from "yak and cow milk, salt and lime juice" so... milk bones.  They come in different sizes as well as a puffy version for dogs that have issues with hard things. I have one dog that has the mouth of a Great White and she can plow through one in about 20 minutes. In fact the only thing that she can't quickly devour so far is any kind of deer antler but she gets bored with the antlers quickly. She needs a conquest. My other dog is missing a few front teeth; he'll work on a yak for a bit, forget about it and come back later. The best part about these sticks is that when they get to a scary small size that could be possibly be swallowed, you can microwave it for 45 seconds (+30 if needed) and turn it into a crunchy cookie. It gets pretty hot but cools down in about 5-10 minutes. My non-chewer is absolutely bonkers for the cookie.The only down side is that they are kind of expensive. I get 2 packs of three and each dog gets one every two weeks.

Rub a bar over the area you don't want chewed, just a light layer will do it. Of course, this was just to dissuade my cats from nibbling, this did NOT work on my rabbit. But worth a shot.

The door to our yard is off our sunroom which had a sliding glass / screen door. Problem is that Lulu hangs out in the sunroom, sees the birds and squirrels and decides she need to go chase them now. We are tired of letting her out 30 times a day. Anyone have a dog door add-on for sliding doors they could recommend? Edit: Forgot to mention, ideally I'd like to connect this to the screen door and be able to slide it open and closed. tomapot fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Apr 5, 2014 |

Any good recommendations on vacuums? I know it's not technically a pet product, but I do have a Dyson, the pet one, but I have a horrible time on the stairs. There has to be something better. We are going to hard surfaces soon, so wondering about just going with a roomba and have it going all the time, but I still need something on the stairs. Of course, no carpet will make the Dyson suck better or less or, whatever. Thoughts and reviews would be appreciated. With all of us, we have to deal with fur and the mess they make, so I thought this might be a worthy question. If not, disregard and I apologize.

This works pretty kickass on my furniture and I imagine it would translate well to stairs. I just wouldn't use it for large area vacuuming as it's handheld. Downside is that it's corded.

I used to have a little hand vacuum for pet hair, about $40, I think it was Shark brand. It was cordless and it worked pretty well on stairs. I'll try and find a link later. I also used to have a Dyson Animal and can confirm doing stairs was obnoxious.

Speaking of roombas, does anyone have one with pets and hardwood/tile floors? We have hardwood and might move to a place with tile, and we have two boston terriers that shed a little bit, but constantly have to dust/sweep the floors for their hair and dust bunnies. Any thoughts on roombas?

I've really heard great things about the Roomba. I'll try to pitch the for review maybe (I do a product review site). Not sure I can pull that one off, but did get a Dyson so who knows. The Dyson isn't bad on the rest of the house, just horrible on stairs.

This is what I had. It handled the hair from three cats and my GSD mix pretty well. Battery life was admittedly short before needing to be charged again, but it lasted long enough to do my huge, heavily carpeted staircase and that's all I needed. It was really nice for quick cleanups too, like tidying up around the litter box.

I have a very old Roomba Dirt Dog, and it is the only vacuum I've ever had that wasn't eventually killed by rabbit/cat hair. The newer models make me jealous because they're quieter and have all sorts of great features, but I haven't been able to justify buying one when my old one still works well. The Dirt Dog was a heavier duty model meant for shop floors, which we figured would be good for picking up stray hay and rabbit pellets in addition to fur. It does a great job on all of them, even in the corners, though it's noisy. I'd imagine a regular model would be great for dust and fur, and supposedly they're nearly silent now.

After which he completely ignores it unless it runs into him, then he just moves out of the way. Only trouble is he gets concerned when it's docked. It may not be idle, it must move all the time, battery be damned. Oh and I haven't figured out how to get him to vacuum when I'm not home. You're home all day dammit, make yourself useful.

Good to know. I've since switched to fleece covers which really cuts down on dust and odors, and makes spot-cleaning the poops daily a breeze.
