The Original ScratchnAll Animal Scratcher Pad, Flexible Acupressure Nubs & Interlocking Design, Very Durable & All-Weather, Great for Domestic, Barnyard and Zoo Animals - USA Made, Black

I purchased the first of two ScratchnAlls in December for Bruno, my 16 month old mini pig. I waited a few months before giving my review because I wanted to pig-test the product. Bruno has a very strong snout and also enjoys biting on things. He likes to scratch a lot and scratches pretty hard, so I wasn't sure the "bristles" would hold up to this. I also was concerned he may ignore the product as a scratcher and just use it as a teether. I assumed it would be a fairly durable product because of the animals using it on the website, but I was still quite impressed with the quality once I actually got to hold and test it. Before installing, I used the ScratchnAll to brush Bruno's bristles. He easily adjusted to the scratching and even fell on his side like piggies do when getting scratched. Since Bruno is an indoor pet, I attached the brown scratcher to the side of the kitchen cabinet where he normally passes. Installation was easy. Then I brought Bruno and showed it to him. At first he began biting it. Then he started scratching his head and then his body. Bruno absolutely loves his ScratchnAll. He uses it several times a day, but especially after a bath. I ordered a second ScratchnAll which I plan on attaching to the terrace post. This way, Bruno will have a ScratchnAll inside the house and in the yard when he plays outdoors.

I like the product, does what is supposed to do and looks sturdy. I had a little shipping issue but was quickly solved by seller.

Product and delivery as specified. Installed as recommended. Training failed. My dog still scratches in dirt, getting dirty. Maybe your dog will use scratcher?

Smaller than I expected. But very sturdy.

If you have an English Bulldog, you KNOW. He scratches his booty on EVERY corner of our house (inside). It took him a minute to” catch on” to the purpose for this unusual thing stuck to his scratching corner, but when he did…. ❤️❤️❤️

My dog is always scratching himself and thought this might be good for him. Can’t get him to use it, but if he did, I’m sure he would love it. Otherwise the product is sturdy material. Would be nicer if the scratch things would be rubberized, but I suppose then it would t be as resilient.

It's a fine product for an animal that will use it or let you use it on them. Unfortunately, my dogs are scared of it. It is smaller than I expected, but it would have done the trick if my dogs were willing to use it. It was much harder than I expected. There is almost no give in the small spikes. I got the product because my dog has severe allergies and no medication seemed to work. He has scratched his eyelid before trying to get some relief and was hoping this product would be the trick. I would suggest easing your way with this product for an animal. If it frightens them, they will never use it. I just wish I could have tested the product out to know that they were terrified of it.

I am pleased with how heavy duty these are. I started out with Shires right angle scratchers but I had breakage on one of those within a few days. Over the next year, more breakage. My horses are aggressive scratchers. I avoided these at first due to the much higher cost but in the end I think these are the way to go. I have them mounted on the corner of a 6x6 post. These haven't past the test of time yet but they seem like they will hold up.
