• nyiceprincess Posted : 8/31/2006 7:29:08 PM I always thought the $7.95 was pretty good but then againi also order is large quantities! If you were only ordering one small item i guess its not so good.They also ship to me Very fast! I have had my stuff in a few as 3 days! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• smilee1079 Posted : 8/31/2006 9:32:08 PM I personally hate shipping and it honestly has held me back from buying from dog.com.  I don't buy huge amounts of stuff and much of the stuff I buy is inexpensive and after the cost of shipping, it is no longer inexpensive.  So far I have managed to buy my online stuff from a site that has free shipping for the first order (I had my mom do an order for me and someone from work did one and I joined in.)  I'd like to order some stuff but when each thing is $1 to $7 and the total is under $15, $8 shipping is a lot.  I did buy my frontline from them when they had flat $2.95 for frontline products. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 9/1/2006 8:37:28 AM It is a lot for shipping, if you only buy a few things.  But, my last order was around the $75 mark for free shipping and it was ahuge box, so I got them there.  I ask people at work and my mom and my aunt and we all buy enough so we only do an order every few months.  I buy bones and other treats there mostly, and the occassional leash or brush or something.  But I also usually wait until there is a 10% off your order or a sale on something I like, or until I have to order enough of something to get the quantity discount.  And my last order I had shipped to my mom's since there isn't sales tax for orders to NY.   I also tried to find other places with less shipping and it wasn't easy to get cheap prices and cheap shipping.  and the places that charge you based on the real weight usually are the most expensive (USUALLY, not always, b/c they use UPS a lot).  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 9/1/2006 9:54:29 AM Well, since we haven't had Ella long, I'm still not 100% sure what she likes. I'm going to go to Petco and some local pet supplies stores and see what I can find. Once I have more of an idea of what she REALLY likes, I'll be making larger orders of things and dog.com will work for me then. We've had her for not quite a month yet and JUST last night she chewed on her nylabone for about 45 minutes. She has had access to it since we've had her but she hasn't touched it! I'm thinking that I'm figuring out that as long as I make a toy out of something, she will play with it. It's like she is just now getting fully comfortable with us. And, she won't chew on something unless we give her permission. Weird. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Terri Posted : 9/1/2006 10:29:49 AM I have to say (just in case my opinion as a dog.com shopper makes any difference) that I think $7.95 is very high. I purchase a lot of stuff online. There are sites that charge you S&H based on what you order, not just a flat rate. But if I'm going to pay that much for shipping, I'd like to get my order in less than a week and a half--even if I am on the other side of the country.   I absolutely love the products on dog.com and I'd order more often if I didn't have to wait so long for my stuff. I'm an immediate gratification kind of girl. [] lus once I tell Loki and Odin they've got something coming, they won't leave me along until we get it! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 9/1/2006 10:32:28 AM Yeah, we find our dog comes and goes with the nylabones - I think he enjoys actually eating something rather than just chewing on it, so thats why he wasn't thrilled with it.  Ours loves Dingo bones, which you can get reasonably priced here on dog.com (usually about half the price of petsmart/petco).  Sammy gets thru the pressed ones fairly quickly because they fit in his mouth better, but the knotted are good too.  Or they have these pressed rawhide bones either smoked or not and a 2-pack is like $2 - sometimes they last a day, sometimes a week depending on Sammy's mood, but they are cheap enough that I don't mind.    have you tried raw marrow bones?  I'm not up for the mess, but everyone on here says they're very good, healthy, dogs like them, etc.    And one day you will be happy your dog doesn't chew on things without your permission!  That might be weird, but can never be a bad thing [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 9/1/2006 2:01:44 PM So far the bully stick is a HUGE hit. I had to get her interested in it through play, but then I let her lay on my bed and chew on it (yeah, won't be doing THAT again, those things are MESSY) and she did for over half an hour. I got her a braided one. So...I'll AT LEAST be ordering bully sticks from dog.com! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 9/1/2006 2:04:01 PM I'm going to try some raw bones, I think, now that I got her interested in chewing on her nylabone AND her bully sticks. And, I'm DEFINITELY NOT complaining that she doesn't chew on things. hahaha. I'm so blessed by that[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 9/1/2006 2:27:08 PM Do the bully sticks stink as much as I hear they do??  I thought of getting them for Sammy since there's a discount warehouse place that has them for like $2 for a 12" which I hear is cheap, but not if they stink to high heaven, as someone put it.   I still can't get over why dogs love to chew on bull penises.  And then wait until the dog is done chewing and wants to give you kisses!  *shudder*  what we do for our dogs........  [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 9/1/2006 2:30:27 PM No. I don't think they stink anymore than any other dog treat I've smelled. They might get a tad stinkier once they've been chewed on and are a little soggy, but not too bad. And believe me, I have a keen sense of smell. I can smell ANYTHING and it seems that smells are intensified to me. But the bully sticks aren't bad. I got mine at Petco and I think they were Red barn bullysticks. I got a braided one and spent like...$3-something or $4-something. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jones Posted : 9/1/2006 2:35:00 PM The smell varies. We buy 50 at a time on ebay and most of them will smell kind of like beef jerky... then here or there there will one or two that reek of urine, or, more rarely, cow poop. But I guess I am, as my BF calls us both, a "dirty dog person"... the smell doesn't bother me. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 9/1/2006 2:35:01 PM Oh, good, perhaps I will get some for Sammy then.  I heard the braided tend to last longer, or you can unbraid them for more treats.  I'd be interested to hear how long it takes Ella to get thru one.  If it's worth a couple hours of chewing, then of course it is worth the few dollars.  But I've spent that on bones Sammy got thru in 5-10 minutes.    Oddly enough, dog.com says their bully sticks are "muscle" - wonder if that's just a fancy name for what it is, or if it really isn't a penis and is instead some other sort of muscle.  Hmmm.... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
