- This filter is wonderful. I previously had a jebo filter that was cheap and got the job done for about a year, but when it comes to ponds the saying,"You get what you pay for," is very true. I love the backwash feature on this tetra filter, so much better than the jebo! Although I wish the outlet for the backwash was a standard garden hose size for more convenient watering of my garden plants, but is an easy fix. The construction is very sturdy, if it needs parts to be replaced they are easy to find online. Putting the filter media in initially is a little tricky, but worth it because I'll never have to do that again. no more hosing off the filter sponges, yay!

- I installed this filter 3 weeks ago. So far it is working great. It has my pond water crystal clear and has removed all algae,dirt and odors. I especially like the fact that I have'nt needed to change any foam filters since it does'nt have any. I also bought the Tetra DHP3600 pump which was recommended for the back flush to work properly. It also increased the water flow to my waterfalls.

I have had a pond for 9 years and was getting tired of constantly cleaning the foam filter. I almost decided to get rid of the pond but the way this product has eliminated the maintenance, I decided to keep it.

- This dryer has multiple heat settings, but only one speed. The product description didn't say it had only one speed.

- I was disappointed with the temperature of the equipment. There is no much of a difference

between one temperature and the other.

- This collar looks great on our dog. We spent a lot of time looking for one just like this and it hit the spot. It might have been a little bit on the pricey side (that is why we gave it 4/5) but we are very happy with it and will consider purchasing another one in the future.

- This changed our lives (seriously)! We have a 70 lb border collie/lab mix who BOLTS when given a taste of freedom. This isn't a large problem as we've trained him to be a great on-leash running partner, and we have a fenced in backyard. But, we live next to a 3 acre open field and feel badly that he cannot meet other dogs off-leash despite all sorts of positive reward training.



We bought this unit, and watched the basic DVD. Your dog needs to grasp the basics (sit, heel, stay, come); however, it is ok if they don't get it -- clearly ours ignored come 99% of the time. It has 8 shock settings that I tried by strapping the collar onto my bicep -- 1 through 3 are various levels of static electricity-intensity shocks; 4 is a bit stronger than your worst static electricity shock, kinda like putting a 9v battery on your tongue.



We went to our field, put our dog on a 100yd nylon leash and the collar. In 5 minutes, I felt confident enough to take the leash off. We spent 95% of the time on the #1-2 setting; I've only had to go to a #4 three times in the past week, when he was intent on tracking a deer or another dog. It is VERY obvious when you have your dog's attention at what level you should be stimulating. With no distraction, a #4 level shock would make him whimper sadly -- clearly too powerful; however, with a deer in sight, a #4 just causes him to pay attention to you and follow the "come" command, no whimpering whatsoever. God forbid we ever need more than #4, but I guess it's nice to have extra power.



We can now go for walks with our toddler and the dog off leash, and he is totally attentive to us. He stays no further than 50 yards, and has a really fun time. We appreciated the humane-ness of the training dvd--it really is clear from his body language when he's enjoying training, and when he's had too much.



It has a steep pricetag and I do wonder if we could have gotten by with the lesser-range products. But I think it was 100% worth the price; I put it up there with the iPod as a revolutionary tech gadget for our lifestyle!

- I have the SD-1800 and love it. I have a 130lb, 18 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback. I have had other breeds of dogs (German Shepherds, Rotties, etc... with no problems), but I was amazed how big he got and how fast it happened. Rigdgebacks are very stubborn dogs on top of all of this. They are a breed that if not trained to know who the boss is, will continually test their limits.



I tried training classes, chokers, and finally a pinch collar. He didn't even flinch, nor did he ever listen. I have a four year old son who was frightened by him, not because he was mean, but because he would knock him over, climb all over him and scratch him with his paws while trying to play with him. He just did what he wanted when he wanted. He would run full force into me and wipe me out, knocking me on the ground with his enthusiasm. He tackled strangers, tables, anything he wanted. Never in a mean way, he never growled or anything close to showing aggression. He was fine with anyone near his crate or food bowl, so he wasn't a mean dog. He was just out of control. He was meant to be an indoor dog, but his behavior had him spending most of time in our yard. I was saddened that I might have to find him a new home.



This collar was my last option and I am so glad that I tried it. I was so afraid that it wouldn't be strong enough and he wouldn't respond. He has a very high pain threshold. But I was greatly surprised. After 5 minutes on this collar he was no longer knocking me over. My first goal was to teach him "no." It took about 4 times to say it with the collar on and pressing the button, before he was responding to "no" without me having to press any buttons. He is great to be around now. He still charges me when he sees me and is excited, but he comes to a complete stop about a foot in front of me and then sits for me to pet him and love on him. I don't even need him on a leash anymore. He responds to my commands easily.



On the technical aspects of this product, I love that it is completely waterproof, not just water resistant. We have two ponds on our property that he loves to jump in. So that is a great benefit. The remote is small and easy to use. And it is also waterproof. Both can be submerged completely in water and be fine. This is not considered a "throw away" collar, meaning if it is broke, you can still fix it. I looked at the models that were cheaper by other companies, but for a little more in price, I was able to get one that would last much longer.



Needless to say, I love this collar! It allowed me to keep my puppy and make him a real part of our family.

Our premium handmade high quality cat furniture is made from scratch right here in the U.S.A. and requires no assembly - we do all the solid building for you.

But, it is a piece of furniture meant to be scratched - just what kitty ordered. This particular unit contains one bed, one tunnel, and one cradle plus 24" of all natural sisal rope for scratching. It stands 54" tall on a 2' x 2' base and comes in a beige color.

- This cat tree is so sturdy that even my dog sized cats can't tip it over! It's pricey but it's still a bargain. So few things are made to last these days. I can definitely appreciate the nice craftsmanship of this piece. The cat tunnel on the 2nd tier is thick, sturdy, and immovable! Nothing wobbles on this unit! It came already put together. That is a definite plus! It is a big cat tree, though. 24" x 24" and 74lbs is bigger than you think!

- All the positive reviews convinced me to get a "Molly and Friends" cat condo, and I settled on this one 'cause of the moderate height and nice neutral color. Well I'll just add one more positive review to the pile. It's great. My cats love it and use it constantly. It's so sturdy. No chance of it tipping no matter how hard my biggest cats play on it. It is solid. Nothing wobbles. And it's very well designed and roomy. It accommodates even the largest of cats on every level. I'm tired of miniature cat furniture that is only suited for kittens, and this is scaled for adult cats (though my kitten loves it too). It's a great value. Highly recommended.

- No complaints about this tower. Very sturdy; two of our cats are big ladies but the tower has proved to be topple-proof. I like that it came pre-assembled (although, like other reviewers mentioned, the box was gigantic.) I was worried the hole in the top of the middle barrel would be too small for our fat felines, but they're able to slip through it with no apparent discomfort; whatever it takes to get to the top, the spot most likely to contain a cat, although they also enjoy the spacious barrel. Our newest 8 month old loves to scale the long post, swat at and bug the cat currently at the top before moving on to play in the barrel. Lots of fun.

- This cat tree is really awesome and fun...once it's put together! But putting it together is a pain in the rear (and the fingers, after you get done screwing everything together). The "instructions" are a numbered picture of what you need to put together first, along with a page listing what came with the cat tree. My copy of the instructions were mis-numbered a couple of times so I had to guess a couple times of what the next step should be. I also found the parts list confusing at first because it was hard to tell what size the posts were. They were all listed in centimeters -- I finally had to go find a tape measure with centimeters listed so I could figure out which ones to use.



One important thing to know is that the order of what you're supposed to put together first NEEDS to be followed closely. I went out of order a couple of times and ended up stuck and having to take the whole thing apart and start over. Another tip I would give is to put it together on its side on the floor and then set it upright. It also helps to have another person to help you put everything together as some of the pieces come with crooked holes or holes that haven't been drilled all the way through.



All in all, it took me 7 hours, my mom's help, a bunch of slivers from screwing in the rope covered posts, and one crying hissy fit to get the tree put together. But the tree looks awesome and my cats LOVE their new toy. I do think the tree looks like it's made for smaller cats -- which mine are -- and I agree with the other reviews that the right side isn't nearly as stable as the left. I'm going to wait and see how my cats handle it before I decide whether or not to secure it more.



If you're willing to go through the headache of assembly, this cat tree is totally worth it AND it's a great price -- over $100 less than what the manufacturer's website is selling it for. Just be prepared to spend a very frustrating, sweaty day putting it together.

- We were so happy to receive this and couldn't wait to put it together. However, it had the worse directions I have ever seen in my entire life. None of the parts were numbered! The directions was just a picture of the jungle gym. Then numbers on the picture and some lines where it was hard to tell what was numbered. Like the bolt/screws or the parts to use. However, the actual pieces and screws/bolts, ect were not numbered. So, we seperated everything by what numbers we thought they were. However, it was hard to tell. Then we started trying to put it together. For instance there are 2 ladders. We couldn't get the ladder to fit in there right. Then when we got the second ladder and it wouldn't fit right. We finally thought maybe they are not the same and there is some difference. So, we traded them out. Then they fit perfectly. Which would of all been avoided if the parts were numbered. Then we get all the way to the last square on top and there is no place to hang the rope. Because we put that square on the bottom. Not knowing all the squares weren't the same. They all looked the same. There was no way were were taking the entire thing back apart to get the right square. This was very upsetting. Then the right side where there is nothing to touch the ceiling is not stable. It moves and the cats practically knock the entire thing over. It needs a ceiling holder on both sides. Also the top square one part doesn't screw in it just sits on top. So, the bolt thing pushes through to the carpet where the cat can sit on it. So, it is not as great as it looks. My sister and I don't drink but after this we had to. My Mom had to bring us a bottle of wine, we were so upset. (yes we are of age) It took hours to figure out how to get it together and put it together. Then I had carpet burns on my knees from trying to get stuff together. Also, on one of the hammocks the hole was too small for the thing it attached to. It took about 30 minutes to get the hole bigger to get it to fit in it. This was the worst directions I have ever had. I wouldn't buy from them again. As long as it stays together and does not fall over on the right side, it will do. But, I would of prefered better directions and a help number to call!

- After seeing the higher prices and smaller sizes of climbing trees in local pet stores, this was an easy decision. We don't regret it at all-- our Bengal loves it. It is higher quality than I expected, too. Very sturdy connections, the fabric is securely attached to the platforms (without staples!), and the sisal is wrapped tightly around the posts. The other review was right on about the third section; it is quite wobbly. We plan to connect the two towers with an additional board wrapped in sisal.



I gave this four stars instead of five for two reasons: first, and this is very minor, the color of the fabric is "retro" in a bad way. It is a little more gold than it appears in the pictures. I'd prefer something more neutral. Our cat doesn't care, but it's not something I'd be proud to display in our living room (it resides in the corner of our bedroom). The big fault is the size-- right now, at 16 weeks, it is perfect. It seems like it was built on 7/8th scale. I'm afraid that he will outgrow this within a year. The fabric baskets will probably be to small soon, but he LOVES them now! The tubes are a small diameter and there's not much space around them, but the good news is that I can just remove them when he gets bigger. Since this is easy to assemble, it is easy to disassemble.



Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this to any cat owner with the space for such a big item. A better bargain than you'll ever find in a pet store.

- This cat food has treated my two kittens well. They're 6 and 8 mos. The younger one was hand reared and subject to eye infections and even had a few vomiting spells. The other one was a frequent sneezer. Both always seemed hungry when I fed them other foods. When I switched to this brand, there has been no vomiting, the smaller one's eyes have remained clear, and you barely ever hear a sneeze from the other. Both their immune systems seem to be better, and the best part is they don't beg for food anymore. I feed them twice a day as much as they can eat in one sitting. The medium-sized bag lasts WELL over a month. I attribute it to the fact that there is more protein content in this food than the other I was feeding them. The only drawback is the poop smell. Goodness, it was ROUGH when they started out. I had to open the front and back door to the house to air it out just to clean the litterbox. Fortunately their systems are adjusting to the higher protein and the smell isn't as horrifying now.

- Great Cat Food, Expensive Price at This Store

First - the basic cost of a 6 pound bag is $13.39 here - at PetLuv - the cost is $11.99 per bag. If you buy 10, they GIVE you a free bag.

This online store is already $1.40 over my local store. Then you add the $6.59 shipping fee, and you get a whopping cost of $19.98 per bag - and you have to wait 3-5 business days.

This product has great ingredients, but, I sure wouldn't shop here to get it.

- I was using another brand until I discovered the horrible animal testing that was taking place. I began to search for a product not tested on animals and came across this brand.



I am so happy with it! It is all natural, not tested on animals, no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, etc. It is also USDA quality meat that is used. My cats love this product! My little one is picky and wouldn't eat any others I tried, and she loves it. She climbed in the empty bag looking for more. I am using the reduced calorie formula, and the other two cats are now at an ideal weight.



The food does last longer as they don't need to keep eating to get full. I haven't noticed a change in waste odor. The best part... their coat! After a just a few weeks their coats were softer and shiner. This is a great product, and your cats will be healthy and love you for it!
