Wash’n Zip Pet Bed

Posted on May 14, 2019 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

I never heard of the Wash’n Zip Pet Bed until a breeder friend of mine recommended me to the company as another breeder. They contacted me and asked if I would like to try out their bed. I of course said I would love to try out their bed as I go through a lot of beds in my house with destructive adult dogs and litter of puppies that soil the beds before they are fully house trained.

Multiple Benefits:

Saves Money – Because it can be cleaned repeatedly, one Wash ‘n Zip Pet Bed will save you from having to purchase new beds when they become soiled, smelly and dirty.
Crate Pad – We chose the dimensions of your Wash’n Zip Pet Bed to fit the majority of pet crates on the market, so it can also be used as a crate pad.
Car Seat Cover – When travelling with your pet, simply unfold your Wash’n Zip Pet Bed and use it as a car seat cover.
Furniture Throw – Protect your furniture at home by unfolding your Wash’n Zip Pet Bed and covering your sofa or chairs.
Blanket – Some pets like to be covered when they sleep, so unfold your Wash’n Zip Pet Bed to use as a comfortable blanket.
Flea Prevention – Flea eggs and larva may penetrate the cover of a typical pet bed and infest the inside. However, the ENTIRE Wash ‘n Zip Pet Bed is laundered, which destroys fleas, plus their eggs and larva.
Environmentally Friendly – Stop discarding old foam pet beds, which will be dumped in landfills. One Wash ‘n Zip Pet Bed can last a lifetime since it can be laundered over and over again.
Odor Control – Wash and dry your Wash ‘n Zip Pet Bed as often as you want, which keeps your bed fresh and clean.
Great Gift – The Wash’n Zip Pet Bed is a great gift idea for your friends and family who love their pets. ~Wash’n Zip

Gambler in the surgical run at our Veterinary Clinic.

The Wash’n Zip is great for travel. It folds up nicely and easy to carry. I work in a Veterinary Clinic so many times my dogs will come to work with me. When they come to work they stay in the dog ward in a surgical run.

I have the large pad and it fits nicely when zipped up in the run. When zipped it is thicker and more cushion for sleeping on. I have the puppy proofer cover on the pad as it helps protect the bed from chewing and wear and tear.

We have a boarding facility at our Veterinary Clinic, the above photo is Gambler laying on the Wash’N Zip bed zipped up and no puppy proofer on. He is using it on top of the cot that is in the kennel.

In the above photo the bed is unzipped to open completely up so Gambler can lay stretched out in the kennel if he wishes. He still has a nice cushion of padding in the bed when it is only one layer thick. I love the versatility of this pad. It can be used many different ways and easy to clean by unzipping it and putting it into your washer and dryer. It holds its shape, no more lumpy pet beds. When I brought the bed into the clinic to show my co-workers there was one co-worker that had the same bed. She brought it in for me the next day to look at, she said she has owned it for about 5 years and it was still in really nice shape. Not at thick as it was in the beginning but still thick enough to keep the pooches comfortable and keep them from getting compression sores. I was happy to hear she had one for so long as this is a really nice bed I hope to have for a very long time.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons that customers prefer the Wash ‘n Zip over the thousands of other dog beds:

1. So easy to clean – Just throw in the household washer/dryer
2. Gets completely clean, inside and out, not just the outer covering like other dog beds
3. No annoying covers to wrestle with
4. Keeps its shape over time, stays looking new
5. Less expensive in the long run since it doesn’t have to be thrown away as frequently
6. Great for travel – use as a blanket over car seats, or as a blanket in RV or back of SUV
7. Helps eliminate fleas and pet odor
8. Multifunctional – dog bed, crate pad, furniture throw, car seat cover, blanket
9. Puppy Proofer helps deter pets from the temptation of chewing
10. GREEN and Eco-friendly since it doesn’t have to be discarded so frequently
~Wash’n Zip

There are 5 different sizes, x-small to x-large as well as 5 different colors. The sizes were matched up to fit in crates to be used as crate pads.

Wash’n Zip Pet Bed is offering to my friends a special web offer of 15% off of a new bed. All you need to do is click the link here and enter the coupon code of SAND at check out.

Gambler gives this bed 4 paws up and I think you will too. Thank you Wash’n Zip for your super pet bed. One more great thing about this company is that they pick a rescue group each month and when you buy a bed from them they will donate $5.00 per bed to the rescue group of the month.

You can find Wash’n Zip on Facebook.

I was given one pet bed to try out, I was not asked to review this item. I wanted to review it because it is a really nice bed.

Electronic Collars At Chewy

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

Ding dong Chewy calling!

Did you know you could get electronic training collars at Chewy.com? Well you can.

One type you can get there is Petrainer Dog Training Collar.

You can get a one or two collar system. The one I got was a one collar system.

It comes with the collar, remote and charging station.

It also comes with short and long prongs.

You use the prong that is the right fit for your dogs coat.

I like that the charging station is one unit.

Helps aid in nail trimmings for dogs that hate their nails being trimmed.

Description – You can have the well-behaved pooch of your dreams quicker and easier than you thought with the Petrainer 998DRB Remote Controlled Dog Training Collar System. Correct such common doggie disobedience problems as unwanted barking, digging or pulling with the touch of a button using the programmable remote and water-resistant collar unit. Customize your pup’s training sessions with one of four stimulation modes–beep, light, vibration or static shock. You’re sure to get his attention with 100 levels of intensity to choose from! With a range of up to 900 feet and a backlit LCD screen, this user-friendly Petrainer e-collar system can be used practically anywhere, at any time. And when training time is over, the receiver and transmitter can easily be recharged together. ~chewy.com

Gambler hates his nails being trimmed, he is already collared conditioned so he knows how a electronic training collar works. I put this on him and used the vibration mode to let him know he had to lay still to get his nails trimmed. He did much better with this nail trimming having the collar on him.

Key Benefits –

Nylon collar strap is designed to fit small, medium and large dogs over 10 pounds and is adjustable from 14 to 24 inches.
Great for addressing such common behavioral issues as digging or chewing, aggression or barking, and jumping up or bolting.
Compact and water-resistant receiver has a range of up to 330 yards for training sessions in the park or backyard.
Remote can be programmed to customize training sessions with four different stimulation modes and 100 levels of intensity.
Rechargeable transmitter and receiver make training time easy and safe with available Memory and Auto-Protect functions.
~chewy.com

I like this collar because it has a beep, vibration and shock mode you can use what you feel is needed to get the response you want. You do need to collar condition your dog to the collar to train it to understand the collar and what you are asking of it. It is not to be used with out reading the directions and teaching your dog what it is about. It is a training tool to aid in training.

Gambler knows when the training collar is on that fun stuff is ahead as he is most likely hunting or training and that is what he loves to do so he loves to have his collar on.

The Petrainer 998DRB Remote Dog Training Collar is on sale right now at Chewy for $26.99.

Get on the Wellness Healthy Indulgence Gravies Grain-Free Variety Pack Cat Food Pouches.

Bones is a gravy kind of guy, he prefers gravy moist food over pates, so this was the review for him.

Description:
Treat your picky cat to a meal even they can love with Wellness Healthy Indulgence—a menu of delectable tastes and textures to satisfy the most demanding palate. With taste in mind, but health at heart, they slow-cook chicken, turkey, and skipjack tuna into tender shreds all served in a delicious sauce. Without artificial colors or flavors, this is the Wellness way to enjoy life’s everyday indulgences. Their favorite Shreds Variety Pack includes 8 pouches featuring two delicious recipes: Chicken & Turkey in Light Sauce and Skipjack Tuna & Shrimp in Light Sauce. ~Chewy

Once the seal was cracked you didn’t have to tell Bones twice that some yummy food was being place on his plate for him to eat, he came a running, jumped up on the table and started digging in. He didn’t sniff it, he didn’t look at it, he stuck his face in the goodness and just started eating.

Key Benefits:

Grain-free, complete meals come with balanced, everyday nutrition for your cat.
All natural, slow-cooked meals are made with real morsels of chicken, turkey, tuna and mackerel in delicious gravies.
Contains only premium, all-natural ingredients with no wheat or wheat gluten, corn, soy, artificial colors or flavors.
Convenient, easy-open, ready-to-serve container makes mealtime quick and easy.
Thoughtfully prepared to ensure the highest levels of quality and safety. ~Chewy

When you order Wellness Healthy Indulgence you get two flavors, Chicken with Turkey and Tuna with Mackerel. It comes in 4 boxes with 8 pouches in each box for a total of 32 pouches. The price is $37.96.

With Bones I open up the package, I give him a teaspoon or two then I put a clamp on the pouch and put in the refrigerator for next feeding. I supplement with the gravy moist food so I feed only a small amount twice a day. The pouch will last 2-3 days and holds up well in the refrigerator. Bones eats it cold, so you know he must love the flavor and texture to eat it right out of the refrigerator.

Bones gives Wellness Healthy Indulgence 4 paws up.

Guilty is wearing a large orange reflective collar.

The personalized writing is crisp and clear.

I chose to get the orange collar so I could use it with Guilty while hunting. Orange is readily seen so she can be visible while hunting in the marshes. If she should get away from me the collar has her name and my phone number on it so she can be returned to me. The collar is reflective as well so it will reflect at night so she can be easily seen. Delivery time may vary, most orders arrive in two weeks.

The next GoTags item you can find at Chewy is personalized collar tags. There are several styles to choose from. I chose the Stainless Steel Slide-on Id tag with closed design. h

Personalized to the way you would like it.

GoTags slide on collar tags are perfect for the hunter. When you take your dog out hunting you want id on them but you don’t want the noise that comes along with dangling tags so this is the answer to a quite hunt and reassurance that if your dog gets away from you it will have proper identification on it to be returned to you. The tag slides on very easily and lays flat against the dogs neck. The tags come in small, med and large. Delivery time may vary, most orders arrive in two weeks.

Is Your Cat A Tidy Cat? #Chewyinfluencer

Is Your Cat A Tidy Cat?

Bones is a Tidy Cats Cat, he’s used different Tidy Cats litters in the past and now he is trying out Chewy.com Tidy Cats Tough Odor Solutions Glade Winter Pine Clumping Litter, 20 lb jug, case of 2.

When you order from Chewy.com your order is received and shipped immediately, who wants to lug 40 lbs of cat litter around a store, in and out of your car and then into your house when the FedEx driver can do it for you.

Once I got the litter I cleaned out Bones litter box, you should clean your cats box once a day and empty all of the contents once a week to keep your kitty happy and hopefully not start urinating in other places.

As you can see from the video once I put the new litter in the box, Bones came right over to check it out and jumped right in to urinate. He didn’t have any litter aversion at all, some cats have litter aversions when their litter is changed, not Bones he was happy to use it.

Description: Leave strong, overpowering litter box odors out in the cold when you use Tidy Cats Tough Odor Solutions Glade Winter Pine Clumping Cat Litter. The multi-cat formula works to keep your beloved cats’ less-adorable creations in their litter box and out of your way. You won’t find any odors in this winter wonderland! This litter features TidyLock Protection to lock away ammonia, urine and fecal odors—leaving behind nothing but the warm, woodsy scent of a wintry pine forest. The 99% dust-free formula prevents messes around the litter box, too, while you refill them, and the powerful formula helps to lock in moisture. Cleanup is easy because the litter forms strong, tight clumps that are simple to scoop. Give odors the cold shoulder and cure your wintertime litter box blues when you fill your cats’ boxes with this litter solution from Tidy Cats. ~ Chewy

Key Benefits:

TidyLock Protection locks away odors in a snap and leaves your home smelling fresh and ready for company.

With the power of Glade, this Winter Pine litter provides a warm, woodsy scent reminiscent of snowy cabin vacations.

Neutralizes strong ammonia, urine and fecal odors to trap odor in the litter box.

Forms tight, strong clumps for easy cleanup—just scoop it and forget it!

Locks in moisture to keep cats dry and comfortable when they visit their litter box. ~ Chewy-

One of the cat’s litter boxes is in the living room so a litter that can keep the odors away is a win win in our house.

For this review I didn’t clean the litter box each day. I left it go 2 days to test the odor trapping abilities of Tidy Cats Glade. I literally stuck my face in the litter box and I didn’t smell a thing. When urine sits for a while it has an ammonia smell. This wasn’t happening with this litter at this time. The litter clumped really nicely and was easily to scoop out of the box, the urine clump didn’t crumble when I scooped it.

Tidy Cats Glade is on sale right now at Chewy.com $18.49 for 40 lbs of litter delivered right to your door. Bones is all for that deal and gives this litter 4 paws up.

Seresto Collar Update #chewyinfluencer

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

Chewy White

A month ago I introduced you to the Seresto Flea and Tick collar that was available at Chewy.com, if you missed the post you can read it here.

So far the collar has been doing a great job and I really can’t say anything bad about it. Glory has been wearing it each day, I’ve only taken it off for a couple of baths. When I first put the collar on her she would scratch at it as I normally don’t keep collars on her. When she would scratch it sometimes she would pull out the end of the collar from the tab that was holding it in place. The collar was still attached in other tabs so it never came off I just needed to thread the end back into the tab. Guilty will play with Glory and she will grab the collar and pull on it and it doesn’t harm the collar or Guilty one bit.

This collar has been worn out in the field while hunting, since I have hunting dogs and they are out in the field a lot it would be a good place to try out this collar as ticks love trees and marshy area’s all the places my dogs go for retrieving birds. October is a prime time for ticks wanting to attach to animals as the air is getting cooler and frosty nights could happen so the ticks latch onto something warm so they can continue to live during the cold months. So far after a month of use Glory has not had any fleas or ticks on her.

The collar hasn’t even affected me in any way. Glory sleeps in the bed with us and most of the time she has to lay her head on my pillow and put her neck right in my face. I can’t smell the collar nor does it cause any problems being so close to my skin.

I give the Seresto collar 4 paws up. Once I posted up my first blog post on the collar I had my facebook friends that use the collar tell me how much they like the collar and haven’t had any problems with it either. One person even said her puppy chewed up and ate part of a collar and didn’t have any problems at all. Nice to know other peoples experience with it which all were good.

You can purchase this collar at Chewy.com for $54.99 which is on sale right now. The collar will last for 8 months or 5 months if used in water and when baths are given.
