I have used a few different brushes before. This was rec by my vet. This along with Optima 365 in his food has greatly decreased shedding. My house is cleaner. This was MUCH more expensive at the big box pet supply store. Best brush/comb I have used.

Good starter bike with gears. We bought this as the first bike for my 7-yr old daughter. It was not packaged well — the paint was chipped and the rear tire had a flat. Putting Pacific Evolution Mountain Bike together was easy – every thing is pre-assembled except handle, pedals, seat and front tire. It took 30 mins to do including adjusting the breaks (I didn’t bother adjusting the gears as she will be using it as a single speed bike for the first couple of months while she learns). Fixing the flat meant a trip to the k-mart. I couldn’t easily find the dimensions of this bike in the description or else where — as a reference, I needed to set the seat to its lowest point for my 53″ daughter. She has been using this for the last 1 week and it seems to be holding up well so far to a few crashes – including running into a wall when she forgot to use the brakes. I am hopeful that it will hold up for another 2 years until she outgrows it.
It is what Pacific Grays Peak Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike is….. A cheap bike. Let me just say I have taken this bike out on 15 rides the first was a fairly light bike trail and it did ok. The 10+ rides after the first, consisted of street riding and bike trail riding. It handled fair for that. Took it out to the local nature preserve and by the time I was through I wanted to through it into the gulley. This bike is not made to handle offroad. It’s definiteley not designed with street in mind either. So that brings me to the conclussion that this is a complete waste of time and money.
I did not buy this bike, I earned it through a program for selling insurance and bought it with my earned miles. I am no pro but I do know how to work on a bike. There is no reason to buy this bike. The suspension bottoms out on 70%-90% of the terrain you will find, even on fire roads. The brakes are no good. I adjusted them as I would any other bike and they worked for about 5 minutes before going back to exactly how they were before I adjusted. It was at the worst time too. Going down a steep hill hit the brakes full and took about 10-20 seconds before I slowed down to a speed where I could put my foot down. Next is the pedal, I have logged over 5,000 miles on previous bikes owned and the pedal broke off within 20 miles on this bike.
Being that this bike is equipped with a dual suspension you would think you can take it into some tough terrain. That is not the case. The only place I would ride this is on the street but then again that is not recommended because the brakes are very sketchy. It looks good but clearly this bike blows. I’m going to sell mine on craigslist for $20! Poor guy that buys it is going to save $80 just to pay hundreds in health insurance cost.
TO THE GUY THAT SAYS A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND ITS GOOD: NO NO NO! You either work for Grays Peak or you have yet to take this on a hill. It falls apart, it breaks, it looks good, and the brakes do not work.
Beware of hidden costs!. The bike itself is great. The problem is that Pacific attempts to pre-assemble most of Pacific Tuscon Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike and in doing so damaged the rear tire and didn’t do the installation correctly causing a serious safety hazard. It cost me $85 to have the bike re-assembled properly and to have the tire replaced. I called Pacific and they basically snubbed me saying they weren’t going to reimburse for any labor costs, which was most of it. I was furious. If I had known about the added cost up front I never would have mail ordered a bicycle and would have simply gone shopping locally. Buyer beware!
denali bike review. Shipped quickly with no damage. Easy to assemble. After extensive research this bike is the most bike you can get for the price.
Bought the large 63.5cm frame which works perfect for my 33 inch inseam. Rides great and shifts great. The only negative is that you will have to retape the handle bars after the first couple of rides.
