Promising review: "This is perfect for our situation. We needed something sturdy that could easily be placed, moved, replaced, and not lose its integrity or leave any marks/wear behind. I was worried when purchasing if the suction cups would hold, and if the material of the hammock would be easily cleaned of hair, etc. After receiving and placing the item, I saw how sturdy the general frame, hammock, and suction cups were. This was clearly designed my someone who has cats as well.
The wire that attaches it to the window is sturdy and thick. It seems like it will stand the test of time against my cats teeth. I have three cats under 1 year old and one 2-year-old cat. There is a lot of energy, and lots of chewing. Immediately I felt at ease that the structure will not be tampered with by their fangs." —The Cat Mom

Promising review: "I have a large cat who is 20 pounds. This is very sturdy and he can fit in the cubby and on the top platform. The top platform it is at a convenient height. It fits just underneath standard windows, allowing the cat to peer outside while sitting on the perch. He has black fur. The cat tower is gray. The fur doesn't show much at all." —CMW

Promising review: "So... we went out after bringing the package inside. Our cat was so excited that he ripped open the package and got all his new mouse toys out himself before we got back home. He was very pleased! 10/10 from Louis the cat!" —Holly Y.

Promising review: "I’m pretty busy working five days a week which doesn't leave me a lot of time that I can spend having fun with my kitties. This toy does a great job keeping them active and gives me much joy watching them play with it. It sends out a red flashing dot periodically and attracts my cats towards it. I really love this product." —Candice

Promising review: "My chiweenie absolutely loves this! He loves to dig and sniff around the kitchen floor so when I saw this I thought it would be a better way for him to release those canine desires. I feed him his dinner and breakfast in this somedays, it keeps him busy for about 30 minutes. He really seems to enjoy sniffing around the fake grass and digging at it for his food. He usually eats his entire bowl in under a minute so this is a great option also for those who have fast eaters! I am very happy I bought this item." —Erin

Promising review: "Let me start by saying, I was skeptical buying this toy like I am every toy for my German shepherd. She destroys toys within minutes but the reviews gave me hope. And it was cheap so I wouldn't be losing much. This ball has lasted for three weeks of her hardcore chewing on it and it looks bad, but it's held up great! And she loves it! She chews on it like she does her bones and it's held up great and still makes all the sounds and lights up!" —Cory

Promising review: "Very happy with this! I got the small size, which works well as a roller toy. Both of our cats like it, but it works particularly well for our blind cat. The internal rattle helps him track it, and he can grab onto the textured sisal really well. Highly recommended, especially if your cat has sight issues!" —nutmegmeg

Promising review: "Got this for my basset hound’s third birthday last week. He loved it! And the squeaker (which he usually kills immediately) is still squeaking. He did pull all of the spikes out right away, but that’s not a big deal. I think it will take him a while to get to the inner toys. I would recommend this!" —Chelsea

Promising review: "We have a golden retriever who is just shy of 2 years old. We recently purchased our first home and were so excited to get her some new toys with all the new space. I found this for a fantastic price and am thrilled at how it’s held up. She can be rough on toys and this has shown little wear compared to similar toys. Another plus is not having to worry about if it is going break something or scratch floor. It bounces off things gently.
Overall, I cannot think of a better indoor toy. I will always try to keep an extra on hand in case the current one starts to fall apart!" —narnnnia

Promising review: "These chew toys are great! My huskies love to chew and pull on them. What I love is the sturdiness of the product. I had searched high and low for a chew toy that would last at least a week, and now I finally found ones that may last a while month!" —fabiola del muro

Promising review: "My kitty LOVES this toy, and hasn't lost interest in it since I introduced it two months ago. She was formerly an 'outdoor kitty', but transitioned to indoor life this winter. So, I needed something to keep her mind and energy level occupied, and this is doing a great job. The tower is fairly sturdy, and isn't too noisy. The balls are a bit on the light side compared to a single track unit I had ages ago, but that's actually a plus with this item. My gal has to 'work for it' a little, and that's keeping her interested during play time. The four foam pads on the bottom side keep it from sliding around, and the hollow top is providing some extra play by dropping items down inside for her to fish out with her paws." —Mitchell M.

Promising review: "This is my cats' favorite toy. Hidden away on a closet shelf for Christmas, my cats somehow found this toy, still in its wrapping and dug it out of the closet. I came home and found the cardboard card it was stuck to and the wrapping paper in the hall and all three cats playing with this toy! Ever since then, It has been a favorite, chosen for daily use by at least one of the cats ever since. It's holding up remarkably well, all considered. I'll be buying a replacement or two when they've wrecked this one!" —Stacye

Promising review: "My puppy LOVES this mat! He gets super excited whenever he sees it. He sometimes doesn't like to eat his kibbles in his bowl, but he has so much fun finding and eating kibbles when I hide them into this mat. I heard nose work is also good for reducing separation anxiety in dogs, so I give him this mat whenever I need to leave more than two hours. He deals with separation way better with this. I'm 100% satisfied!" —Bom

Promising review: "My son's Yorkie-poo stays at my place a lot. He is obsessed with squirrels now, so we thought this would be a fun Christmas toy for him. We followed the advice of other reviewers and supervised to try to delay the death of all the squirrels. We let him play with the tree trunk after he had rooted out all the squirrels and tried to kill them, as a dog will do. He loves the tree trunk — so much so that he makes love to it every time we let him play with it. He is nearly 5 years old, and was neutered as a pup, and never was much for humping, but he goes after that tree trunk like a prisoner on a conjugal visit every time we set it out for him to play with. If we have guests, it's a floor show. He doesn't care. I'm not quite sure what to make of all this, but as long as it makes him happy." —PBH

Promising review: "Great value and works really well. We have two large dogs (85 lbs and 92 lbs) and two big trucks (large SUV and GMC Sierra, a tall pick-up truck) and this works just fine. It's just an inch or two short of the back of my SUV and maybe 6 inches shorter than the back of the Sierra. It's an easy extra step for the dogs. Folds down nicely to fit in either truck and the dogs really do not have any problems getting in or out. Really helping our backs… NOT lifting these big (old) dogs in and out of our vehicles!" —Kristina

Promising review: "I've been a subscriber for years. They offer a great amount of flexibility and care. They offer some customization to your dog (or dogs if they share a box) that suits what they like. In the past when there were fires in the area they gave us a free box. Since we weren't affected they were even willing to donate it to the shelter of our choice. Any questions you have they get back to you within a day." —Nick D.

Promising review: "This bed is amazing. I have had it for about three months now, and it is by far my dog's favorite thing to lay in (including furniture). She’ll even pass up the opportunity to sleep in my bed 80% of the time so she can sleep in her burrow bed. The inside is very soft and keeps her warm. She doesn’t have a thick coat and I keep the apartment cold at night so that was important for me. The plastic tubing is pretty cheap but she likes it better without it so that wasn’t a concern. So far, the bed has held up well but she also doesn’t chew up her beds. Even if I have to buy this bed again in six months, it is still the best money I’ve spent on my dog and she’s pretty spoiled. I would highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was skeptical about getting a $40 stuffed animal for my dog, but I’m so glad I did! We got our Frenchie on a Monday night and we were up three times that night with her and Tuesday night. The puppy buddy came in on Wednesday evening and I immediately let her use it. I turned on the heart beat for her and she was immediately intrigued by it. The final test was seeing how she did overnight. She slept all night! We heard her whine for not even a full minute at one point but she went back to sleep quickly. She now looks for her puppy when she is ready to lay down." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was always concerned leaving my puppy home alone because he will cry a lot... When I got the Furbo, things got much better! Furbo sent me notifications to my phone when he was crying, so I would log on and talk to him right away. This changed everything!! My puppy knows I'm always there, so his separation anxiety is getting better. He cries less, and I feel much more relieved." —Susan
