Woyamay No Chew Spray for Dogs

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 0

 



 

I purchased a bottle of Woyamay's No Chew Spray for Dogs. Our puppy chews any electrical cord he can reach - he's attracted to the texture and smell of the cord material. Thank goodness he has not chewed through any cords that are plugged in. I keep those well-hidden. 

I have used various training sprays in the past, but they were lackluster. Woyamay's product worked right out of the box. I coil our extension cords to better coat them, and used product-damp napkins to carefully blot the liquid around plugs to avoid the metal (allowing product to dry before using them). It's been an additional safeguard for holiday decorations requiring a plug. 

I am so grateful to Woyamay for offering this product. This spray has discouraged our stubborn puppy's habit, potentially saving his life.

No tree chewing for you, Cracker Jack
I highly recommend this spray as part of your dog training toolbox. You should reapply as needed, and you may need more than one bottle. As always, supervision is the best deterrent. Every dog is different, and yours may need a different product.

*As with any pet product, please supervise your pet when you first use it.

We have six dogs ranging from 4lb - 30lb, aged 6 months to 14 years. Some are aggressive chewers while others have few teeth remaining. All enjoy treats, most tolerate baths without much fuss, and every personality helps when we review pet items.

 EBPP Stop the Spray - Dog & Puppy Pee Marking Repellent - Pet Training Spray

I'll break this down by hitting the seller's accurate talking points.

1. Reliable Marking Control/Establish Clear Boundaries: The spray does deter them from returning to the same spot, but it doesn't dissuade them from piddling a foot away. Depending upon how determined your dog is, you may need to use more spray in a larger area.

2. Simple & Consistent Training — "The ease of use of this spray helps you address accidents quickly, maintaining a clean environment. With regular application of this pee spray for dogs training, pets can learn and adapt faster. This urine deterrent spray for dogs helps build a stronger bond as they thrive in a structured and supportive environment." — This is absolutely correct. The product requires consistency. It won't work well, otherwise.

3. Clean & Healthy Living Space — "Use on carpets, furniture, floors and pet bedding. This dog anti pee spray is safe for curious children, playful pets, or beloved houseplants." — I appreciate that it doesn't mar most furniture and floors. I did not try it out on antiques.

4.  For All Furry Friends — "This puppy pee spray helps speed up the potty training process and prevent repeat accidents. The dog pee training spray can help break the marking cycle for rescue dogs and aid in their adjustment to a new home. Help manage incidents in older dogs with age-related changes or health issues with this dog marking deterrent spray." — Not all dogs are the same or react the same way. This spray did not dissuade our 4lb geriatric girl from piddling. She no longer has any sense of smell or taste.

The scent isn't too unpleasant. It didn't leave any gunky film behind. It is easy to apply and washes off well. It works but reapplication is the key. It is best to buy more than 1 bottle.

I recommend this spray as part of your dog training toolbox.

Alright, deep breath here... This review is on the Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers All Breed Indestructible Rubber Squeaky Treat Stick Tough Interactive Toy Teeth Toothbrush for Small Medium Large Dogs Training Fetch US4Double Extra Large

Kidding aside, this toy has outlasted my aggressive chewers while still keeping them entertained. Keep in mind, no dogs are alike, so I do not know how well this particular toy will suit your furry companion.

I appreciate the rounded body. It's easier for my pack to roll it out from under a chair or table (or bush). It has a decent weight although it isn't a "bouncer". It takes a bit of pressure to make it squeak. That adds to the entertainment value, as each of our dogs work at making noise come out of it.

The other qualities are nicely described by the seller.

I highly recommend this dog toy!

AMAZON: "No Trespassing - Dog On Premises" Sign

Friday, August 02, 2024 0

This Review is for the GicnKeuz No Trespassing Dog On Premises Sign available on Amazon

 


 An excellent quality product offered by a fantastic seller.


I was not expecting these “Dog On Premises" signs to look so good. The product description on the seller's page is very detailed and absolutely accurate.

 PROS:

  • The aluminum won't warp easily, nor bend or snap. The back of the sign won't rust, and not just because it lies perfectly flat on surfaces.
  • The design is as crisp as seen in the seller's pictures. I appreciate the reflective surface.
  • It installs quickly, but...

POTENTIAL CONS: 

  • These signs do not come with screws for a solid fence or zip-ties for a chain link fence. This doesn't detract from the product.

 

This is an excellent quality product. I highly recommend the product and the seller.

AMAZON: Pecute Dog Seat for Car, Truck, SUV

Thursday, July 18, 2024 0

This review is for the "Pecute Dog Car Seat, Small Dog Car Seat, Front Pet Car Seat with Clip-On Seat Belt, Nonskid Bottom, Washable Detachable Dog Bed for Car Truck SUV, Pup" Sold by: Pet Cool

 


 



This product is: "Pecute Dog Car Seat, Small Dog Car Seat, Front Pet Car Seat with Clip-On Seat Belt, Nonskid Bottom, Washable Detachable Dog Bed for Car Truck SUV, Puppy Car Seat Travel Carrier for Small Medium Dogs".Let's break down each "feature" highlighted by the seller:

EXTRA SOFT & SOOTHING SUPPORT


  • This product is somewhat soft. 
  • The high-elastic PP cotton material is thin. Yes, it is a nice nest, but it won't last long if your dog has long nails.

MULTI-PURPOSE

  • "The raised cushion design allows dogs to see the beautiful scenery outside the car." The cushion doesn't have enough filling material the elevate that high.
  • "In addition, it is designed with portable handles, making it convenient to carry pets out." The straps to hold the bed to a seat became a trip hazard while walking out to the car. I'm glad I wasn't carrying a dog.
  • "It is also a good choice to use as a pet bed at home." Straps. STRAPS! Total trip hazard.
  • "Additionally, our dog seats are foldable for quick deployment and storage." I somewhat agree.

 

 

【  SAFE TRAVEL

  • "Our dog seat for car has high-quality and tough seat belts and buckles, so that it will not easily tear during safe driving, and the bottom has an anti-slip design to keep your pet safe while traveling." It will tear if your vehicle is impacted. Please, if you love your pet, get a sturdy, reinforced seat that actually serves to protect, even in the event your front passenger airbag is deployed.
  • The "anti-slip" feature is incorrect. 
  • The clasp that serves as a canine seat belt is the same thin material as the other straps. NO WARNING is given about using the belt strap. Please don't attach this thin to your pet's collar. In the event of an accident, the force of impact can propel your dog forward from a bed and snap its neck. Likewise, if you use this bed as a tote, your dog can harm itself by jumping out. ALWAYS USE A HARNESS TO TETHER YOUR DOG. A proper one can save your pet's life.

EASY TO CLEAN & ALL-AROUND PROTECTION

  • This seat does not protect your doors from scratches. 
  • There isn't any extended back seat protection. 
  • "Unlike other front pet car seats, our extended backseat protection cover provides all-around protection for car seats, protecting the front seats from stains, scratches, and fur damage." NOPE.
  •  "With a detachable design, the liner is placed in a detachable bag and can be machine-washed, making cleaning and care a breeze." 

QUICK AND EASY ASSEMBLY


"The simple installation method allows you to complete it easily without spending too much time. It is very suitable for use in the car in all seasons or as a travel bed. Simply install the adjustable buckle on your car seat's headrest and adjust, then adjust the strap to fit your car and you're done." 

I was a merchandiser longer than I care to admit. I was part of reset crews. I have assembled many things. I've dealt with defective products. THIS dog bed - this thing from Hell's abyss - is the worst thing I have ever encountered. It did NOT come with a manual/directions. The site shows how to apply belts but I had to hunt the other info down. Scroll. Scroll.



You will need to insert the foam before it springs back from being vacuum-packed. Insert one piece at a time, starting where the zipper begins. Zip up as you go along. It doesn't take long for that foam to stretch back into shape. You may have to fiddle with it. Let's say that the front part needs adjustment. You have to unzip from the side to reach that middle bit of foam. Now you have to fight the side foam in order to zip it back up.

 



CONCLUSION:

I can not recommend this product for use in a vehicle. There are far better (and safer) travel beds that are slightly more expensive but they are better quality and safer.
