Review of Petmate Fashion Vari Kennel Interm Linen/Black S

We bought this kennel for our puppy when we flew to Chicago. It was easy to put together and is very light weight. Overall it's a great kennel.It's approved by FAA and United Airlines.United Airlines is very specific on the type of crates they will allow on the plane.

Bought the next size up when our pup grew out of this one!

Review of Petmate Le Bistro 10-Pound Feeding and 2.75-Gallon Watering System with Microban, Bleached Linen

Overall this product works great, the food comes out easily and the water dispenser works great.The only problem this set has is the blue water container because it gets moldy on the inside.The label on it says it won't get moldy but it does.It's hard to clean too, unless you have a brush that can fit through the narrow opening to clean the inside of it.Other than that, it works just fine.It's such a relief to not have to change my dog's water bowl every day too!

Review of Petmate Le Bistro Pet Feeder, 2-Pound Capacity, Bleached Linen

Though I also use Fresh Flow waterers, I still keep one of these waterers up at all times. It works like an office water-cooler, you just refill the bottle and tip it onto the base. As water is used, it refills to keep the level in the bowl. No mechanical parts to break down. The base is easily cleaned with soap and water and the bottle just needs to have a hot water and bleach soak now and then.
The feeder is a matching gravity feeder that loads thru the top.
Basic, well-made, and they last forever.
Five paws-up =^..^=

Review of Petmate 22040 Giant Litter Pan, Bleached Linen

I have 6 cats and 2 of them are on the large side. The bigger cats never seemed comfortable in the average size boxes that you find in Wal-Mart, etc. They would "miss" the box sometimes too and that would make for a mess.

This box is so big that I bought a 40lb box of litter at the same time and I dumped the whole 40lbs of litter in the box and it was still several inches from the top of it. It is huge!

I bought one initially and all the cats loved it so much that I bought a second one. I had several small ones and they are now in the trash as they are no longer needed. Two of these with a daily cleaning works for 6 cats.

I love it so much that I wish I was a cat so I could use it. Actually, I could but my wife would have issues with that.......I was just kidding about that.

But, my cats love it, I'd love it if I were a cat and your cats will love it too.

Review of Petmate Le Bistro Waterer with Microban

For whatever reason, my kitties seem to enjoy drinking from the Le Bistro waterer more than from their water dishes. Maybe it's the novelty. I do think it will be a good solution for supplying them with fresh water when I'm away.

It *is* a bit on the light side, though. I put mine in a narrow space between a cabinet and a wall, to make sure they don't use it as a toy and slide it all over the floor.

Update: I stopped using this after finding it one morning tipped over with water all over the floor. It's just too light for a young, playful cat.

Review of Petmate Le Bistro Feeder with Microban

We purchased this to make sure our pets had plenty of food readily available while we were away on vacation. Our house sitter enjoyed not having to worry about keeping up with feedings throughout the day. All she had to do was check the level and relax.
The downside of the feeder is you can't control how much your pet eats and it's not so great with larger food. It tended to clog up with our dog food but be great for the cat food. Our dog had to paw at the food to get it to drop out for her.

Review of Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain

My 4 cats love this fountain and they drink a lot more water now. Depending upon how you have the flow lever adjusted, the water stream can either be silent or a gentle trickle noise.

I have had 3 of these fountains in 3 years. The only problem I have had is with the pump. Like any water pump, the water level must be above the pump so the pump will not be damaged. I burnt out the first pump this way (shame on me). The second pump became severely clogged and stopped when one cat vomited grass into the dish while I was away (naughty kitty). The third pump dying is a mystery to me. It wasn't even a year old. Unfortunately, I just returned it today before reading one reviewer's directions on taking the pump apart for cleaning.

Even with the pump issue, I'll buy this product again. The cats love it, it is easy to clean, and fresh water is good for my cats' health. By the way, I can't imagine how some people are getting algae, etc., with this system. Basic cleaning is required of any food or water dish. The only part of this unit that cannot be cleaned with a sponge is a narrow plastic funnel that brings the water up to the fountain head. A Q-Tip works great for cleaning that.

Review of Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder

After looking around for an auto feeder it seemed like they all had some issue, but this had mostly positive reviews so I figured I'd give it a try. I bought two so each of my cats could have one. Unfortunately one of them did not work upon arrival so I sent it back and had a new one sent within a week. A few things to point out based on other reviewers problems.

1. Programming is quite easy if you just follow the instructions, it took me about 2 minutes to have it set up and ready to go.

2. If you attach the container and lid on properly your cat will not be able to get into it.

3. It will only take a day or two for your cat to realize if it sticks its arm up the food chute it can get a piece or two out but it's probably more of a hassle than your cat will want to deal with after a few tries.

4. If you are using normal dry cat food (which is smaller than the 1/2" recommended size on the instructions) the portion control isn't very accurate. I found I had to just set it 1/4 cup smaller than I actually wanted them to have.

Once you figure out a few of the quirks of this product it will work without problems. Both of mine have made my life much easier since the cats know I don't control their food anymore than just sit around until they hear the food being portioned out by the auto feeder.
