Don’t lick Anti-licking tape!!

November 24, 2009 Leave a comment

I work for an e-commerce company that  sells various forms of pet products.  recently, a rep bought in some new items that we may consider putting on the website to sell and amongst these items was something called an “anti-lick” strip.

The anti-lick strip is designed to stop animals from licking wounds or trying to remove dressings and It has an adhesive backing so you can stick it to bandages and plasters. I asked the rep to leave a sample with us so we could consider placing them on the site and she duly appliquéd, but it wasn’t long before we started wondering just how it worked….

it was being passed around the office and everyone was having a “sniff” so I piped up and made the suggestion “why doesn’t someone lick it”?  to which everyone replied “you lick it” and so I did.

I gave it a proper lick, not just a small one and within 3 seconds I was heaving!!! the tape is made up of  cayenne pepper, oregano leaf, lemon powder and clove oil. which doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but trust me, it tastes like s**t.

An hour has gone and I still cannot get rid of this disgusting taste out of my mouth and everyone in the office is giving me pelters. take my advice, if you want to stop your animal from licking something, use this tape, take it from me that it works.

I was going to sell the tape but after that experience I am sticking to the dog beds.

I just bought a dog lead for £140.00!!

I just went wild and purchased a new lead for my dog that cost me £139.99. I know what you are thinking, I am out of my skull and I need my head tested and to be honest, I don’t have much of an argument against that point of view.

But you should see these leads, they are quite simply stunning! It is a retractable dog lead made by Flexi that has a touch of bling added in the form of Swarovski crystals. The lead I bought was the Spider lead which on one side has crystals formed in the shape of a large spider, with a small spider mounted on the other side. even the packaging is bling, with the leads presented in a beautiful black box with sliding draw.

Whether you get what you pay for is a matter of personal opinion, but I am well chuffed with my lead. I know it is a bit overkill but I don’t drink and I don’t smoke and I love my animals so why should I treat myself and my pooch? although my dog has to be the luckiest animal in the world….

If I was writing this blog entry as a review then I would give this lead a 9 out of 10. The only reason it wouldn’t get full makes is because of the cost which is a little bit too much for what you are getting in my opinion but that said, I would still pay the same again after seeing the lead.

right, im off to walk the dog. Thanks for reading my blog entry!!

P.S if you want to see these leads for yourself then visit this dog beds website where the leads are sold.
