Order Petmate Fool-A-Bug Stainless Pet Bowl, Giant


This bowl really works. I was a little skeptical about it, but really wanted a bug-proof (specifically ant proof) bowl that didn't utilize a moat. I'd been using my own makeshift "moat" by placing our dog food bowls in an upside-down rubbermaid lid filled with water and a little dishsoap. It worked, but it would get nasty in no time due to our dogs dropping dry food bits in the water. Yuck!

Even though this is pricey, it was well worth the money. Get more detail about Petmate Fool-A-Bug Stainless Pet Bowl, Giant.

Shop For Van Ness Pet Food Container 50 lb


The low profile wheels are great and makes it easy to move around, but it does fly across the room at the slightest bump like some other brands. Just the right size to refill with 10 lbs or so of dog food left and you can still add a 40 lb bag. Great product but I don't know what I was thinking, my dog only weighs 18 lbs. Probably won't get to refill it until next year! Get more detail about Van Ness Pet Food Container 50 lb.

Pet Guard Turkey and Rice Food for Cats, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) This instant


I really wanted this food to work, as it seems to have good ingredients for a decent price.

Rubbermaid Pets Scoop'n Store Pet Food Storage Best Quality


I purchased this container to store a 52lb bag of food for my 3 dogs, and it is perfect! The container could probably hold at least 4 maybe 5 more pounds of food easily which is great because I can put a new bag in before the old runs out!

The seal to the actual container is great, just make sure to snap the lid shut (both the lid to the container and the flip open part), and the scoop is extremely convenient since 1 scoop= 1.5 cups (which is the amount of food all 3 dogs eat at each meal)Get more detail about Rubbermaid Pets Scoop'n Store Pet Food Storage.

PetSafe PFD17-11859 Healthy Pet Food Station, Medium Buy Now


The PetSafe pet food station does what it's designed to do, but it looks and feels very cheap. It looks much nicer in the pictures. The whole feeder is made of thin lightweight plastic. The bowl portion is plastic, and has a removable stainless bowl. The feeder portion is similar to a gallon plastic water bottle. There is no way to control the portions of food it distributes. All the food is open to the air, so food stored in the feeder will go stale quickly. I have the "medium" size, and its huge. If you're considering this for a cat or small dog, get the "small" size. Personally, I'll be sticking to manually feeding my pet.Get more detail about PetSafe PFD17-11859 Healthy Pet Food Station, Medium.

Richell Pet Food Keeper, 60 Quart, Clear with Blue Lid Right now


I buy 15# bags of Blue Buffalo Spa Select Indoor cat food which is fairly small. This container can hold 3 1/2 bags and the four cat dishes! I could probably fit all four bags if I didn't store the dishes in there too. The wheels are great, after 9 mos. they still haven't fallen off. It's a bit hard to clean since it's so deep and I'm about 5'4". I have to lay it on its side and reach as far as I can which means my head ends up part way inside to reach the bottom! I have to say though, it being that deep is not a downside, I'm just too short to reach. A month ago one of my cats jumped on top of it as I was opening it and one of the plastic tabs that holds the latch in place broke off. It's so small that it can't be glued back on no matter what I try. However, that said, I can still latch it closed and it will stay on. My cats still can't smell the food so it must still seal as well as before. If they could, believe me, they wouldn't leave it alone! It still works great even after I broke it so I'm thinking of getting another for litter. Definitely would recommend to anyone!Get more detail about Richell Pet Food Keeper, 60 Quart, Clear with Blue Lid.

Low Price Richell Pet Food Keeper, 50 Quart, Colors May Vary


All in all, it holds a decent amount of food and moves around pretty well but the most important feature is the lid and it broke after about three weeks of daily use. The snaps are thin plastic tabs and one of the two broke off with just normal use. Disappointing it still works okay but not like it should.

Save Paw Naturaw Organic Chicken Diet, 12-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 12)


In re: Paw Naturaw Organic Chicken Diet

Note: We have no connection to Paw Naturaw or the other dog food companies mentioned.

We have a French Bulldog, a breed notorious for flatulence. His breeder had started him off with Eukan*ba Natural Lamb & Rice for Puppies. Wanting to give him the best that we could, we tried numerous, premium, grain-free, dry foods including: Inn*va, Calif*rnia Natur*l, Merr*ck, Now! Grain-Fr*e, and Karma Org*nic. During gradual transitions between brands, he'd always have bloating and gas, sometimes diarrhea. ALL the dry foods gave him bloating and gas, even the reputedly better brands.

After more research we found out what's *really* in dry dog food and decided to change his diet immediately. We also found out about species-appropriate, raw feeding. We wanted to stop the kibble sooner than later so we did a rapid transition of only 3 days. We'd supplement the Paw Naturaw with Soj*s, Honest Kitch*n, and home-prepared veggies and fruits. We're careful about safe food preparation and haven't had trouble with pathogens.

Pros: even with the quick changeover onto Paw Naturaw our pup had no issues: no diarrhea, no bloating, and now, absolutely no more gas! He used to clear the room with his stink bombs. He also used to have overpowering "doggy odor," even after a bath. On the raw diet the heavy doggy odor's gone. Now he has a cleaner, subtle scent. His stools are normal. He also has more energy and he's more even-tempered. He's eager to eat, whereas on dry food there'd be days he'd refuse to eat and would be moody.

Cons: raw, organic, dog food does cost more per pound than kibble. Roughly double the cost depending on which brand and what size bag. Shipping through Amazon.com helps offset the cost a bit. Feeding raw takes a little more planning and prep, but not much: just thaw overnight, mix, and weigh out portions for the day in covered glass or ceramic containers. Takes no more than 10-15 min. Having a small digital scale and several, same size, bowls on hand make prep easier.

We're thinking long-term and feel that his health and well-being are well worth giving up the convenience and lower cost of kibble. If we'd known about raw feeding before we wouldn't have fed him kibble at all. Although this way, we did see the stark contrast between the results of raw vs. processed food. In short: our pup's indigestion and gas-free, has more energy, and is healthier and happier on a raw diet. The clear results speak for themselves and we hope that Paw Naturaw keeps up the good work.Get more detail about Paw Naturaw Organic Chicken Diet, 12-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 12).

Order Dogswell Happy Hips for Dogs, Chicken Breast, 5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)


Well first, my dog loves these. I made the mistake of giving one to him at night before bed, and now he flat out demands these before bed or he pouts all night. Why? Well, it's basically a healthy chicken jerky. The ingredients are good, and so is the quality! I am very sensitive as to what is in pet foods I buy, and this is a great treat!

And I do have a comment about the person who mentioned that they are made in China. My response is so what? I actually think it is a good thing! We treat chickens (as mean as they are) so poorly here, and their waste pollutes our rivers and streams. Land is a whole lot cheaper and easier to come by in China, and they don't tend to pack them as densely as they do here. So thanks to China we have a great product with a much cheaper price point then we would normally have to pay for. We are one world people, and if another country can make a quality product with a lighter impact on the environment then we can, I am happy to share whatever the profits are with them. Sure they made many mistakes industrializing, and I am sure they will make more... just as we will. However, they are very sensitive to maintaining quality at a good price point, and I have more faith in chicken coming from China then I do from the US... sad to say but true.

So back to the review. While the quality and look of the product is great looking, the smell indicates that the flavors are probably stronger then just regular chicken (think of beef jerky). If your dog has a very sensitive tummy I would buy a small pack first and make certain that it digests easily. As for my dog, a Golden Retriever, he would likely gobble the whole bag if he could, and not think twice about doing it again the next day.

Where To Buy Newman's Own Organics Adult Cat Formula, 4.75-Pound Bag


I recently purchased the Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder, 5-Pound Capacity, Black automatic cat feeder and I have been looking for a good large bag of organic dry food to fill it with. After reading some reviews about Newman's Own Organic pet food, and spending a few minutes on their website checking out the ingredients I was confident the quality was high.

The bag is a great size for the 10lb automatic feeder, fills about half the tub. I have one medium sized cat so this lasts for a couple of months. I placed the cat food on subscription, using amazon prime, so I got it for a great price as well.

My cat seems to be enjoying it and eating her two potions a day. I'm never quite sure what people mean when they say their cat won't eat the food. Perhaps I'm a little more stern with my cat, if she doesn't eat it, she doesn't eat. Trust me, sooner or later they will learn to love it. I think this policy has meant she is pretty good at trying new food and enjoying it.

As much as I can review cat food without eating it, I'd say this is a good buy. I checked out the price of some bags of organic cat food at my supermarket and its competitively priced.Get more detail about Newman's Own Organics Adult Cat Formula, 4.75-Pound Bag.
