Home At Last Dog For Sale (2024 Update)

Bought this for our 7 month old Pyrador puppy, who has already outgrown one house. It was easy to put together, and the sturdist dog house we've ever seen. Plus being insulated is perfect for a cold Indiana winter. She's huge and still growing and loves it. The first night she slept in front of it despite dog treats inside. Second night was cooler, she decided to check it out so the head and front paws went thru the swinging door first, and after she had stood that way for about 5 minutes, walked all the way in, and has loved it ever since. From the size if it unless she grows as much as Clifford the big red dog, she'll get to enjoy for a lifetime.PJ

We got this house for a new Boxador puppy so that it can spend most of its time outside. We found it to be a good product. It was easy to put together and does stay much warmer than the outside air. In rainy weather, it stays dry. It is a very large house which would work for a lab or other large dog. No problems with the dog using the door. Only suggestion: add nuts and bolts for the 6 screws. Screwing metal into plastic is not a real good plan. I'm assuming the company will have replacement parts (door, window, etc…) available for my investment!Y Robinson

This dress is sooooo cute! It runs true to size and looks adorable on. This is perfect for warm weather. The only problem I had was taking the dress off Jasmine. She didn't want to take it off. I ended up cutting the tags off and she just pranced all over the house showing off her new outfit.Bonnie F

This outfit is so much fun. It's both feminine and tough at the same time. Men love the skull an crossbones and women love the adorable tutu. It's comfortable and my little girl can wear it all day.Betty L

Costume runs very small. The legs on this costume are extremely short, it will not look like the picture. I have 3 different size dogs and it didn't fit any of them.mveemkr2

Such a beautiful book! Perfect for a coffee table book. As a shelter volunteer, the photos and stories are so appreciated. I love it so much, I'm giving one as a birthday gift to a fellow dog-walker. I highly recommend it. If you love dogs, you'll love this book!us_zembo

I have ( had ) a spider and hard shell black bug problem and I can tell you Ortho Home Insect Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier works ! I don't know exactly what the hard shell black bugs are but I had a big issue in several rooms all over the floor, on counters, and in cupboards with them. After spraying the Ortho Home Insect Barrier they started dying immediately, it took a few days after spraying before I noticed they were no longer coming into the rooms, counters, or cupboards. And spiders are no longer hanging out on my enclosed porches! Ortho Home Defense Max claims to provide long lasting, reliable pest protection for your home for up to 365 days. Even if it doesn't last that long the Extended Reach Comfort Wand, with 2X the reach makes it easy to respray at any time. It kills all common household bugs like ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, scorpions, beetles, earwigs, silverfish, centipedes, millipedes, and a host of other insects that are listed on the product label. This product dries up to 30% faster, than other Ortho products and leaves no stains or fumes. People and pets can enter treated areas after the spray has dried. This spray does come in 24oz with a trigger sprayer or the gallon size with the comfort wand. Got a bug problem give Ortho Home Defense Max a try.JC17771

I love the Ortho products. My husband sprays this all on the inside perimeters of our house, like the window sills, bottom of doors, spots where we’ve seen bugs, etc and then we use the Ortho Home Defense Inside/Outside for the outdoor perimeters and it works GREAT. We have a really bad spider and ant problem at our house and you can really tell when it’s working. The outdoor one lasts for about 6 months and then you’ll notice the creepy crawlies starting to pop up again but then you just spray again. This one says it works for 365 days, I’ve only been using it for about a week and it does exactly what it says it does! I trust all the ortho products!! No smells or stains at all either! I have 2 babies and have no worries about spraying the inside. Ortho is the best!MomSpaghetti49

YIKES!! i started seeing some bugs in my kitchen at night when i turned on the light so i wanted something effective and fast acting as well as easy to use and i found it in the Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand. I sprayed the perimeter of every room upstairs and downstairs and i haven't seen a bug since! This is the easiest and most convenient sprayer ive ever used. Its very well designed. The wand folds out easily to reach hard to get to places and lets me spray without having to bend. when im through with it i just fold it up and clip it into its own special holder that keeps it all together and compact and ready for the next use. It sprays the first time every time after its primed and I also like that its safe for children and pets when its dry. Couldnt be easier!avagrace

The 435 X series is really nice and has a small remote control that fits into my hand (I am only 5'4). The XS series is stronger (for large dogs that can be stubborn) and was too much for my need… that's why I really wanted the X series. The 825 X is the same as the 425 X except is has a longer distance reach (1/2 mile) but the remote is a little big bigger. Works great…. make sure you read the manual for the different settings and understand that this is not a training tool per say but a corrective tool (meaning your dog has to know and understand commands BEFORE using it)…Do NOT use as a punitive tool. The nice thing is this item allows you to choose either tone, vibration, or static mode. 99% of the time I only need to use vibration for my dog to get his attention (he cN get sobfocused on a scent that he doesn't pay attention to my commands). He sometimes takes off after a rabbit/wild pig etc. and that's when I have to use the static mode to quickly get his attention away from his chase. I really like that it is waterproof (my dog swims into ponds and rivers)…some other brands claim to be waterproof but really mean to say water resistant! If it doesn't show water depth then it is not waterproof. Quality product worth the money.Noone12345

I have tried everything I knew with this dog, built a relationship with him, treats, toys, praise and I wasn’t able to find anything that would motivate him to actually follow the commands that I knew he knew. I was afraid to use a “shock collar” because I thought it was going to be cruel but it had been 5 months where this 3 year old pit was with me and there seemed to be no progress. I really was not able to find something that worked. I was at a loss and willing to try just about anything. I watched some of the training videos on sportdog’s page. I ended up buying this and I charged it up like they said. I then tried it on myself first. I was very surprised, it reminded me of a tens machine that the chiropractor uses, not what I thought it was going to be at all. It’s been 3 days since I started to use this collar (425XS) and he is responding to voice commands now and the “beep” function on the collar. It is a pleasure taking him out and I’m sure he enjoys not having to be on just a 6’ leash and he gets to run around.Trucker Jeff

Bought this for the intention of training my bulldog to stop running out of our driveway. Never had to use the vibration setting only the beep setting, and seems to work perfectly. Plenty of length on the collar to fit his big neck and then some . Also have used it on my schnauzer and mini doodle .Dawggang

My dog seems to love his new doghouse. It's very roomy and super easy to assemble. It's insulated too so hope it keeps him warm. We took the bottom half of the doggie door off to get use to going in and out of the doghouse. He did wonderful. I think when we put the bottom half back on it will be fine.LoriOe

Definitely has made great difference in her coat and skin for better. It took a little over two weeks to completely switched from other food but it’s because she has such a sensitive stomach,however she didn’t have any issues after about 4 days before she adjusted her system to it. It’s very fishy smelling as open bag but it’s not horrible. She is eating good and she seems to have more energy and she just seems happier than before. Definitely recommend just don’t switch cold turkey because it’s going to take little bit for system to accept the switch as in any food.G2five

My pomeranian’s coat looked terrible. It had stopped growing in and was dry and dull. He had begun balding on his hind legs as well. The groomer recommended getting his thyroid checked, but his last physical at the vet was good, so we decided to try changing his food first. We chose salmon based because our vet said many dogs have developed allergies to chicken. He did not like the food at first so we switched him very slowly and he got used to it. No problems eating it now, but I do sprinkle a half teaspoon of cheese on it. The difference in his coat after 3 months is AMAZING! His coat has started growing back in, it is soft, and even his hind legs have new growth! So glad we tried this!!KimberlyV

Our dog has had constant irritated ears and itchy paws. He would scratch at his ears until they bled. Our vet said it is a food allergy. We tried all of the expensive hypoallergenic prescription dog food. After seeing no results, and our pockets taking a hit from the prices, We switched to Purina Pro Plan sensitive skin and stomach and WOW. I noticed such a huge difference in our dog. He has only been on it a few weeks and we have noticed him licking his paws so much less, and he has not scratched at his ears once! We also got a huge bag and soft food that all 3 of my dogs love! They eat the whole bowl clean.Melissa467

This vaccine covers all the essential issues without overloading a pup's system. I like picking it up locally as it is already a great price and you save even more by eliminating shipping costs. In addition, I am confident that vaccines are handled properly here.Alpinedevotee

I didn't know what to expect since I have never vaccinated my own pet before. I didn't know if this was one dose or several, so I wrote customer service. They replied very quickly, and it turns out this is a single dose and comes with the syringe. It arrived overnight and was cold and ready to use when it arrived. The directions were easy and the whole process was stress free (and so much cheaper than a vet visit!). I'll definitely be ordering the other rounds of vaccines from them!KG0183

Wow!!! I was shocked at how fast I received my order for my dog's vaccination. I ordered the Solo Jec 5 Plus, it came with the syringe and very simple instructions. The vaccination was kept cold and packed very well. I will definitely be ordering from Valley Vet Supply again.1ccarver

I have a 13lb bichon frise who typically eats other Purina Pro Plan food, but he’s a very picky eater and often goes on hunger strikes. I like the idea that it might promote calmness because he’s quite hyper. Seems like it’s marketed exactly to us because there’s even a bichon on the bag! The kibble size is perfect and it’s not too smelly (unlike the salmon pro plan we used to feed him). We mixed this in with his usual food, Purina Pro Plan small breed beef shredded blend. He was really excited and gobbled iton the first day, but subsequently has gone back to his usual picky eating patterns. When I held a piece of the beef and this one in each hand, he only ate the beef. So I don’t think this is his favorite flavor. I’m planning to keep using it especially if it might actually promote calmness, but I’ll probably keep combining it with his favorite beef food rather than switch completely.jennifer.b

I have enjoyed the benefits of this food, and it really seems to make a difference in anxiety. Not only that, but energy levels and skin and coat are also great. Overall, this product is amazing. However, please, PLEASE make more variety for this line! My other dog who would really benefit from this food is intolerant of poultry. I would buy it for her in a heartbeat if there were proteins other than chicken. I know a few other dog owners who want to try it as well, but chicken intolerance is common.Ashleyp

I am super impressed with my Purina Pro Plan dog food. It is very high quality and my dogs really love it. They appear to enjoy the taste and the nice crunchy texture. I really like the ingredients. It has everything that my dogs need for good nutrition. It looks and smells appealing. The kibble is not overly large which makes it easy for the dogs to eat. The calming aspect seems to be a great added bonus. It gives my dogs just the right balance. They have experienced no issues with this food. I do recommend this brand!rebecca.l

I enjoyed that much at times that I lost track of the time I dont read much as I am disabled this is the first book that has got attention in a long time I lost my dog Ollie it will be 2 years in February and we had him for 15 1/2 years and I miss so much thank you ( live in Scotland)mabe-6448

Silent Tears: A Journey of Hope in a Chinese Orphanage by Kay Bratt ñ A Book Review God led me to this piece of non-fiction years ago long before I retired from teaching long before I started blogging and posting book reviews. God began then preparing my heart for the little girl who will be joining our family within the next eighteen months to two years. Kay Bratt dedicated her book to China's Orphans; stating 'You are not forgotten.' Indeed they are not. Biological parents in China for a variety of reasons have made the heart wrenching decision to leave their children and in the words of our soon-to-be granddaughter's new parents 'There's a lot we don't know about our daughter but we do know this: She has been left to be found and our love will find her wherever she is.' There are many parents out there whose love has led them to find their son or daughter wherever they were and many who are being led by God to that wonderful discovery. In 2002 the author's husband was transferred to China. She immediately set three goals for herself: to learn to speak Mandarin to volunteer in an orphanage and to chronicle her time overseas by keeping a journal. Once in Shengxi and personally experiencing the day to day life of the orphans there Kay began a volunteer group supported by friends and family stateside. This book is a collection of her journal entries during her four years in China. When Kay first arrived in Shengxi volunteers were not readily welcomed in the orphanage. A lady named Ann was the only volunteer at the time and she laid the groundwork for Kay's volunteering. Without her Kay may never have been able to reach her second goal. The condition of the children the living environment and the lack of human contact was deeply depressing. Kay's description of the treatment of the children is vivid and incomprehensible to most of us living in America. While reading this book causes the reader great sadness it is not meant for us to close our eyes and hearts to human suffering. The reader can hold onto the portion of the title of the text: A Journey of Hope. Kay and her corp of volunteers did indeed slowly and over time bring hope to the Shengxi orphanage. The volunteers realized that change needed to occur little by little move to fast and they would be told not to return. Kay introduces us her readers to several specific children. It is impossible not to get emotionally involved with their stories driven to read on and discover their fates. Squirt a baby boy who stubbornly hung on to life for as long as he could. Xiao Feng a small girl with a beautiful smile and a missing hand. Two year old Jin Ji a favorite of the ayis. Yue Hua longing for the comfort of human touch and understanding. Hei Mei with a minor heart condition dimples and a sunny disposition. Xiao Gou twice abandoned. A model of God's love compassion and mercy Kay expresses an understanding of the ayis the workers responsible for the children's care. By looking for ways to show them appreciation and to make their jobs easier rather than criticizing and arguing with them Kay won their confidence and respect building relationships one visit at a time. This resulted in greater opportunities to impact the children's lives and eventually changes in how the ayis treated the children. Kay ends her book with letters that she has received by some of those who have been touched by her story some who have gone on to adopt. These letters are testaments to the power of the testimony contained in these pages be they paper or electronic. Whether you plan to adopt love children or just love a touching story you will find inspiration and hope while reading Silent Tears.

As Christians we know that we are to be true to who God created us to be; if we accomplish that we are being true to ourselves as well. How often do we allow ourselves to be shaped in the image of who someone else says we should be? Parents, spouses, significant others, even friends may set up expectations for how we should live our lives. Some of that may truly be good, but are we cognizant of when boundaries are breached? If so, do we allow that to occur, or do we reestablish those boundaries? Traveling along with Quinn Maguire as she discovers her true self may help readers explore such questions. Quinn's story is compelling. While I most often review Christian fiction, I did enjoy this secular, contemporary tale. Kay Bratt's works are always fully engaging, and transport me into the characters' world. They give me pause to contemplate some of the social and personal issues of our day. True to Me is no exception. I am very grateful to have received a copy from the author and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.Grams

This was the perfect gift for my sister (she has 4 teens and a hubby) for Mother's Day! It looks almost exactly like the one our grandparents had. This one is well-made, attractive, lightweight, and the right size to hang on the wall. She promptly added the names and put it right where everyone can see who's "in the doghouse."AbbysMom2009

We had one of these when I was a kid. My Mom used it to keep us “in line”. It worked in reverse. We fought to BE IN the doghouse. 😂😂\nThis was purchased for my sister’s grandchildren. \nGreat item.Louis

We had this almost exact replica on a wall in our home in the early 60's through the 70's Our family had years of fun putting each other in the doghouse and taking ourselves out of it on a daily basis over a few decades. 🤣😍😊 Really Nice Product And It Will Give Years of Entertainment!p1gfeyoo

I ordered the correct size and it fit snugly enough in width, but the length was too long for my dog (from neck to tail). With the extra room in length she was able to get her back legs tangled in the fabric each time she would bend her knees/go from sitting to standing. It made it so she couldn’t use her back legs properly and she took a tumble down a few steps. Maybe including a body length measurement would help? I think the fit is probably ideal for certain types of dogs but not others. The zipper made me nervous that it would be easy to accidentally pinch her skin and I’m not sure she could go to the bathroom wearing it, even unzipped. I had an excellent experience returning with this company though. They sent a personal message and I received a refund quickly. As well, it really works for shedding and looked well made.Jodi R.

These onsies are so cool! We have 2 long hair dogs that shed and my grandma HATES dog hair. We ordered these so that we can take the dogs to my grandmas house without her worrying. I think if your dog is in between sizes, you need to order the bigger size. Looser is better than tighter. The onsie was pretty tight on our bigger dog but she didn’t seem to mind! They are light weight and super comfy. The sport mode is nice because it’s a little less fabric than the original! I feel like the dogs breathe a little better in sport mode.Kaylin

I'd like to share my experience with this model while comparing it with the Tracker light (which was purchased by SportDog about a year ago and discontinued by them in favor of this unit) Those familiar with the Tracker light know that there are two primary differences that are notable: 1) Base mount. 2) On/Off Switch. The lumens output is indistinguishable between the two units–both are quite bright. 1) Base Mount: The hard plastic base of this unit is the weak link. I say this with confidence because after our second pheasant hunt with the unit in typical high brush with our GSP (wearing a std. 1" urethane collar) one slide snapped off. I claimed warranty and they honored. I'd hoped that perhaps my first unit was from a poor mold batch. Unfortunately, on our very next hunt (ruffed grouse) with the new unit the exact same thing occurred again. The hard plastic is brittle and the mfg. needs to consider a more malleable composition..or altogether a different design. The Tracker light was a two piece design and employed a separate rubberized slide mount which was highly durable and provided the benefit of less slippage because of the slightly higher friction of the rubber. 2) On/Off Switch: This unit uses a very small slightly recessed switch that must be depressed for 5 seconds or so with either longer finger nails or preferably something that serving as a stylus (key, pen, etc). Overall this is a better design especially when compared to the older Tracker which required a clockwise turn of the lens but invariably would get very difficult to turn over time with dust, debris, age. Given the lack durable alternatives on the market I now use this light with a modification that involves applying a heavy duty velcro strap around through the slide slots, then fastening the velcro around the collar. Bottom line: If your dog isn't hard driving, or you're usually hunting in easy/low cover or plains then you'll probably be alright. Otherwise, consider the velcro modification.SteadyGSP

Duck 2/3 times per week in season. My dog likes to swim and explore when we are out setting decoys. We bought this so we don't run her over with the boat setting long lines. This works really well even at long distance. I dropped mine overboard and on my second one. Same great results. We used the carabiner attached to the collar and then on her vest when it got cold. We take it off at daylight so we don't loose it or break it. Seems durable. Turning it off can be difficult with the small button when its cold. Also at night when running the boat I would not recommed the white, yellow, orange. The light makes you see dots so we went with red both times. A friend has blue.oldyellowlab

I followed the directions exactly for attaching to the lanyard that comes with the light, but it slid off regardless and got lost in the woods after barely two hikes! Horrid attachment design! To boot, the button on the light was a super firm piece of metal that you have to hold so tightly down to turn the light on and off, that it hurts the fingers! You need a key or screwdriver or some other hard object just to push the button and make the light come on! For the money, this light is a pain, if you can even keep from losing it entirely!Janeway

Good quality doghouse. Purchased for my cats. A great hideaway and place to sleep without being chased by my dog! Four of the seven have used it. The others were a bit hesitant but since I removed the door flaps, I'm sure they will soon check it out. We all give it 5 starslsthe-oohcxjqb

My 3 Medium sized Auskie dogs fit perfectly inside together. I didn't have any issues/problems building it. I find it sturdy & fits my needs. You'll need to insulate it if where you live it snows but great for hot or rainy locations.7 Dogs and Growing

Received it fast from shipper, Some plastic panels were a little bent/warped when they came out of the box and when you are assembling can be a bit challenging but no reason to throw in the towel. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars so far overall but I haven't had a chance to weather test it outside against the heat, rains and winds that we will be experiencing during the tropical rainy season in South Florida. Look forward to see how well I think it will hold up during this period and also year around. In addition but not as a necessity I plan on adding a new plastic sheet underneath the new elevated level concrete platform and some new comfortable bedding which will be inside covering the plastic flooring base for our priceless family dog. Also due to the nature of the tabbing in assembling this dog house which could be alot better in my opinion, I decided to glue the two piece plastic flooring base together for more strength something that I didn't have to do. I might decide in the future to glue it all together but for now until I complete all the weather testing I will leave it as is. I would suggest to the manufacturer to make the instructions a little clearer/easier to read, make the tabs snap together better and easier, add more vents on the sides if possible, replace the twofront pieces of plastic with screening and as a after market item a battery operated fan/heater that you can install to keep your dog cool or warm. Overall I believe that it is a good value for the money and it needs some basic improvements to be a great dog house. Thanks, Bye.diasmit_1
