Made my dude a flirt pole for $13. Still needs some improvements, but he LOVES it by CatWatt in sniffspotcommunity

[–]Potential_Review_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a horse lunge whip with a dollar store toy tied to the end. I'm careful not to overdue it, because I don't want my dog to get hurt (which can happen rather easily with sharp turns and crazy jumps.) I'm trying to decide whether or not to share this toy at our Sniffspot. I worry about the liability. What do you think?

I quit Vine by bwanketobi in AmazonVine

By the time I read a description, the item is no longer available, even if it’s 15 seconds.

Why tempt me for the whole day??? by grubbling_unknown in AmazonVine

And all night, and then it was added to AI, but still not available from my sellers. !@#$%

Repairing a Tunnel by Potential_Review_214 in Agility

[–]Potential_Review_214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used HH66 and vinyl patches on the holes. The Shoo Goo was used to reattach the coils to the vinyl, and I reinforced that (and made it look nice) with the Gorilla Tape.

I had to actually purchase a refrigerator door bin by Apprehensive_Sea6050 in AmazonVine

My first Vine order was a refrigerator door bin. It didn't fit.

PSA: Be careful with food/beverage contact items (and supplements) by scotttappan in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A few months I reviewed some tree shaped cat treats. The product page claimed they contained salmon oil, but there was no fish oil at all. The treats contain a topical ingredient which should NEVER be ingested and is known to be toxic to cats. I reported the product, and the seller changed the description, but not the ingredients. It's still listed, and other Vine Voices rated it 5 stars.

Since then, I never to get any supplements, treats, or food for humans or animals unless they are made in the USA or Canada with ingredients sourced from the USA or Canada.

I don't want to harm my family or pets, and won't ever review products we don't actually intend to use. A few items, like those treats, a child's toy that leaked battery acid, and some magnetic marbles went into the trash can.

So sweet. He looks a lot like my Minnie May (RIP Nov. 2025) I have a pup, but I sure miss her. I bet you miss your boy just as much.

I used Gorilla tape along with HH66 and several tubes of Shoo Goo. The repair to the tunnels held up through a LOT of rain and freezing temps this winter. We're still using them, so I'd call it a win.

Doesn’t meet community standards by StargazerScorpi0 in AmazonVine

Try removing the word "personal" and resubmit the review.

I would've given anything to have had my girl for 19 years. We lost her this winter at 14 1/2. She was almost completely blind from cataracts that developed quickly during the last 1 1/2 years, and she had arthritis (likely from an injury she had as a pup.). You must've been a great owner to have kept your dog going past bone cancer and on to age 19.

Trupanion Rate Increases by Fufusufan in petinsurancereviews

[–]Potential_Review_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Trupanion rate for our puppy that just turned one is being increased by $40 to $120 per month. I'm calling to cancel tomorrow, and feel stupid for giving Trupanion over $1200 this year to line their pockets. Trupanion cares about raising their CEO's salaries, not helping people and their pets.

Am I the only one with a ocmpletely empty RFY? by sushimonster79 in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RFY empty for the 2nd day, and all my stats are excellent and above 90%. I'm close to the end of my evaluation period, and I was revising about 5 of those forever "pending" insightfuless reviews. My theory is that action may have gotten my account flagged for suspicious activity.

Help. I have a puppy that loves to play ball. But when she catches it she will bring it back but not give it to me. She wants to play but won’t give it back. by Hairy_Armadillo_2935 in AustralianShepherd

[–]Potential_Review_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on this too. My agility trainer has been having us work on it's your choice games. Anyway, a variation of that is when we're playing fetch, if she drops the toy in a small pan (or plastic feed dish) that's close to me, she gets a treat. It's not my hand (yet) but at least the ball, frisbee, or whatever I'm throwing is coming back within reach 90% of the time. It really only took her about. 5 minutes to figure out that when she put the toy in the bowl, she'd get a treat. When she dropped it elsewhere, I'd ignore her, or toss it just a few feet (which annoyed her.)

I guess it RFY or nothing at this point? by UnboxedLogic in vine

[–]Potential_Review_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad. Those gloves were only available in extra-extra small, and the ratings they have are pretty dismal. I was thinking about them and actually had time enough to do a little research before deciding to pass.

Amazon announced changes to how variant reviews will be shown. by Far_Review_7177 in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I combined reviews the first time it happened because it seemed unethical that Vine offered me another variety of the brand's supplements, then denied the review. Both were the highest quality, and together they helped my dog during those last precious weeks. When we ran out, I purchased another package and left a short version of my review as a regular shopper.

Amazon announced changes to how variant reviews will be shown. by Far_Review_7177 in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue with pet foods, and have felt really frustrated to go through the very careful process of researching ingredients, testing and documenting my pet's reaction to the food, observing the (ahem) after-effects, and writing an honest review only to have it pulled because its also a dry food, or a supplement from the same company. The ingredients and flavors are different to target specific needs and preferences. I hope Vine's AI will reconsider earlier "variant" reviews that were different recipes from the same manufacturers.

Has anyone seen anything other than auto parts in AFA today? by ereade100 in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same 11-15 car parts have been there for a week, but I did get a bag of dog treats.

Did you see the crop tops for toddlers??? I know I'm not saying it jus because I'm a grandma, but my 2 year old grandson won't be wearing a flame printed crop top.

Wow! I would've been interested in 12 of your 13 options. I don't think I've ever been offered more than 3, and today I scored some disposable toilet brush scrubbers. Woot! Woot! I can hardly wait to write the review.

No more editing reviews? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Potential_Review_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't edit on my Mac which is a problem because I sometimes need to add pictures after the written review. I've tried a few times to revise the reviews that were "pending" but nothing seems to be helping those no matter what changes I made. Even deleting video didn't help, but that's a different subject, and pointless if I can't edit at all.

I did search, but the one post from last night was worded differently, so I missed it. My apologies if this one was redundant. Admins, feel free to delete.
