When I went to do laundry later in the week, and discovered that even after washing, there was this gross residue on the sweater I wore to the party (from the deodorant). That.. I wasn't impressed with. I was hopeful for an amazing product, but it doesn't live up to the 48 hours. It works as a daily deodorant, but not much longer (for me, anyways). It doesn't wash off well, and leaves residue on clothing. -

Trying to get this darn thing sized.. well, all I have to say is measure well. It's entirely possible that the muzzle won't fit the dog's face so well, especially if he's a mix, like mine.
The shape of the muzzle is what makes it challenging; my dog (dane/rottie/shepherd mix) wouldn't fit properly in the 5 or 6. They're not really well suited towards a broader head shape, and there is no room or ability for the product to be adjusted at the bridge of the nose, which would be ideal.
If your dog has hanging jowls, like mine, they'll have to tuck up and shove underneath.
Also, considering what was supposed to be the proper nose length shoved right under his eyes, getting in the way of his line of vision.
Another area of concern was the amount of opportunity I felt it was possible to rip off the muzzle with the space underneath, even with all the other hooks and attachments. Again, it might also be because the size that was closest to fitting a broad head (6) caused more space below.
My dog resembles Houdini over Cujo, but I sense that this might not be the best muzzle if you have an extremely aggressive dog. I've handled a few dogs that I know could easily get out of this. On top of that, small fingers, even hands, could easily fit into the gaps around the muzzle-- at least for the larger muzzle types. This is a concern of mine, as the dog I purchased it for, after a fellow rescuer recommended it, has fear of people. If someone were to grab inside, they'd get their fingers bitten.. yet it would be me, and my dog, on the line for their stupidity.
Note that this muzzle isn't one that would work to prohibit barking at all, as it allows for a lot of jaw movement.
Overall, this doesn't suit my needs.

McCain Savoury Wedges
These taste pretty good, but don't deliver on the extra crispy promise. Because of that, they were more like savory, soggy, greasy. Not as expected. It's unlikely I'll buy these again.

I tried this product with 2 of my dogs, via the ChickAdvisor review panel.
Reading the ingredients, the food sounded promising, since it was grainfree. The dogs absolutely loved the taste, and were excited to try it out.
Unfortunately, in roughly a week of testing it, the dogs showed signs of allergic reaction, and developed ear infections :( the vet recommended stopping the food immediately, and solely feed their previous food.
What I noticed right away, even though I transitioned them correctly, their poop volume was nearly doubled for whatever reason. I guess they weren't digesting it well.. Not sure.
The price of the food is ridiculous! A small bag is $35 at my nearby pet store! Even if the promises of healthy skin, eyes, fur, etc. was met, it wouldn't be practical to feed them this, as one bag is 75% gone at the end of a week of transitioning. It would be nearly $200//mo with taxes to feed them properly! Nope!!
So.. No, this didn't meet my/my dogs needs. At all. And I have a vet bill for antibiotics on top of it. Blahh.

Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner Action Gel Spring Waterfall 710 ml
It cleans okay, but the scent is not great; quite floraly, and sickenly chemical and overpowering. I could smell it over the entire house after use :/ I won't buy this again.

This is about the size of a basketball. It's quite durable. The problem is, for smart dogs, this becomes extremely frustrating. Two of my dogs ended up having frustration meltdowns with cries. It's almost cruel.
My 3rd dog is a corgi cross and enjoys it, but because it's massive, and she can put her head in the holes. She doesn't quite "get" the concept of trying to get the ball out, so she's happy with it.
If you have an intelligent breed (lab, collie, etc), this toy is cruel.
If you want to see your dog suffer, I'd suggest this. I gave it the stars for durability, yet took away 2 due to it being unsuitable.

Hueter Toledo Soft-Flex Heavy Duty Squeaker Gripper Ball, 7-Inch
DOG TOY!! I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. My dogs absolutely adore this toy. A quiet squeak that they still love, and I can tolerate, helps a lot. It's tough, and can't be popped. All my dogs are power chewers; 2 being 100lbs+, and the other... +
DOG TOY!!
I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. My dogs absolutely adore this toy. A quiet squeak that they still love, and I can tolerate, helps a lot. It's tough, and can't be popped. All my dogs are power chewers; 2 being 100lbs+, and the other being a much smaller 25lbs.
My geriatric dog played and danced around with it by himself for 30mins straight, as did the 1 year old.
Probably best for large/giant breeds, as the handle is quite big.

Croc's Women Capri IV Flipflop
I purchased these in mushroom. While they were comfortable, the sizing was off, and quite narrow for a Croc product. I ordered a 10, as I like them roomy; I normally wear a 9, and the outer side of the top of my feet wear slightly hanging out :(
