Doggie Dooley Plastic Septic-Tank-Style Pet-Waste Disposal System
Pet waste disposal is always a challenge, especially if the only place you have available is the garbage can. The Doggie Dooley 2000 Plastic Septic-Tank-Style Pet-Waste Disposal System works like a miniature septic tank in your back yard. Simply shovel stools into the system, occasionally add water and the Waste Terminator to break down waste and control odors. For 1 large dog or 2 small dogs.
For 2 large dogs or 4 small dogs install the Doggie Dooley 3800 Deluxe Leach-Bed-Style Toilet.
Both systems come with a supply of Waste Terminator and a lightweight Firstrax Poop Patrol Jaw Scoop with a handle on the top to open the jaws below. The powder we have shown here provides about a 1-year supply. These systems use environment-friendly enzymes and bacteria to turn the pet waste into a ground -absorbed liquid.

Help Your Dog Lose Weight with SLENTROL
In the US, it is estimated that about 17 million dogs are overweight or obese. Veterinarians say that almost half of the dogs they treat are too heavy. The 2 main causes of obesity are too much food and too little exercise. Obese dogs don't feel as well as slimmer ones, and their mobility is often limited. As we all are learning, there are increased health risks associated with obesity.
SLENTROL (20ml)
is the first prescription canine weight-loss product in the US. It does its work in the small intestine, keeping some of the fat from being absorbed into your dog's body, so the dog senses that it's full and eats less at each meal. Check with your vet to see if this product is right for your dog.
SLENTROL (20ml) is administered orally and is not for use in cats or humans.
All-in-One Collar and Leash
Here is a great idea--a convenient All-in-One Collar and Leash called the "Insta-Leash".
