As for my thoughts? This bath toy net is light weight but seems pretty sturdy.  I have had trouble with getting toy storage options I have tried to stick to the tile in my shower in the past because it has a texture to it.  I got the suction cups good and wet and so far they are sticking well!  I am happy to finally have a way to store my little guy's bath toys so they can dry properly.  He loves the bath toys that came with this as well.

  • EASY TO USE ❤ Dishwasher safe, can be used for Wet or Dry food - With it's Soft and Flexible silicone, cleaning is a breeze compared to the hard slow eating bowls out there!
  • SAFE FOR YOUR PET ❤ This bowl has been specially designed with your dog's safety in mind. No risk of damage to your dog's retina or nose as has been reported with some of the hard plastic slow feeders!
  • GREAT FOR CATS TOO ❤ Cats love to chase and like nothing more than pawing their food out from this fun feeder. Let your cat enjoy the game of pulling a piece of food out and see their enjoyment as they succeed.
  • FUN AND EFFECTIVE ❤ Make every meal time a fun time for your pet! The Large size (12"L x 9" W x 2"H) is suitable for most pets. If your pet is small pick the Small size (9.5"L x 7"W x 1.5"H) to make meal time a little easier for them!


As for my thoughts? This feeder is great.  It is made of durable, soft silicone so it does not hurt my puppy's eyes or nose, or get damaged as he eats.  It slows him down and makes his meal time a little more interesting for him, which is good for both his mind and his tummy.

As for my thoughts? This time of year South Texas is overrun with evil blood thirsty monsters.  Mosquitoes are the bane of my existence, especially at this time of year.  It is hard to even go outside without getting swarmed and my poor 2 year old is constantly covered in welts from bites.  I hate using bug spray on myself because it is sticky and gross.  I wont use spray on my son because he has eczema and sensitive skin.  This bracelet solves all of my problems!  It is adjustable and can last a long time as long as you store it in the plastic bag.  It has a pretty strong smell, but it is not terribly unpleasant.  The ingredients are all natural  so I don't feel like I am wearing something toxic which I love. Best of all it keeps mosquitoes away!  Now we can play outside in the evening when it is cooler, and not worry about being feasted upon by bugs.
