Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Rejuv-a-Wafers.

What is Chlorella? That’s exactly what I was wondering when the company Sun Chlorella offered me up the chance to test out their line of Pet Rejuv-a-Wafers (which are made from Chlorella). So I did a little research (ok ok, I just searched for it on webmd) and I found out that Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water and is used to make supplements and medicine.

According to my friend (Mr. WebMd) Chlorella can be used to prevent cancer, reduce radiation treatment side effects, stimulate the immune system, increase white blood cells, prevent colds, improve digestion, heal ulcers, as well as various other benefits in humans.

It sounds great and all, but what can it do for a dog? Well according to Sun Chlorella the key benefits for dogs are:

  • Boosts your pet’s energy for more walks and playfulness
  • Gives your pet a beautiful glossy coat
  • Freshens breath
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Promotes good eye health

So I decided to give it a whirl as I couldn’t find any serious side effects from taking it (other than your #2’s might turn green – don’t be alarmed if they do). These little green pills don’t really smell like anything but be aware they aren’t your average “dog cookie” as in they don’t taste like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, or any other thing that I’d typically want to be eating. So for the picky eaters you might have to hide them in SAID hot dog, I’m sure the non-picky eaters wouldn’t complain if it was in a hot dog either.

I’m not a picky eater, so I’ve been happily gobbling up my Rejuv-a-wafers each morning with my breakfast for the past week.

Mom said she noticed that I’ve been a bit more rambunctious at work lately, although I’m not sure she totally appreciated my cardboard shredding antics. At 5 years old I may not need the added energy boost, but I think the older dogs out there would greatly benefit from the little pep in their step from the rejuv-a-wafers. I’m going to continue taking them (the box comes with 60 wafers) and I’ll be sure to report back on how it’s benefited me. Mom has her fingers crossed it really does wipe out doggie breath!

A portion of the proceeds from REJUV-A-WAFERS sales goes to support The Gentle Barn animal rescue organization! Yay for helping pets in need!

To Dogs, Life is one Big Adventure!

Be More Dog // Ammo's O2 Commercial

A couple of months ago a campaign with O2, a UK based mobile company, launched a campaign aimed at being  more dog.

To dogs, life is one big adventure. They never stop playing and exploring.

I couldn’t agree more, which is why I think they picked me to make a little cameo appearance in one of their commercials! Check it out:

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the DachshundDisclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Prime Pet Supply.

My friends over at Prime Pet Supply recently offered me a chance to take their new pet products website for a spin. Shopping, now how did they know that would win me over?!

Prime Pet Supply stocks only the best and most natural pet foods, treats and supplies available on the market. So I hopped on their website in search of a few products to try, and picked out these fun goodies:

Once my goodies arrived at my doorstep I wasted no time in digging right in!

The hardest part was choosing what to try first!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Two of the toys I picked up were the Kong Tugga Wubba Dog Toy and the Bionic Bone Dog Toy. Both of these toys are designed for tough chewers (which totally describes me) and after a couple weeks of play they are still holding up very well. The nice thing about the Bionic Bone is that it’s designed to be stuffed with treats – I’m thinking bully sticks just as soon as mom picks me up a few!

Next I tested some Etta Says! Freeze Dried Chicken Liver Treats, which I’m not gonna lie, I mostly chose these because there was a picture of a cute little dachshund on the front.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m a big fan of freeze dried dog treats, especially since these are made in america, all natural, and contain no preservatives. Gotta love treats that taste good and are good for you! Yum!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The next product was something my mom picked out for me. Honestly, I wasn’t that thrilled about it because supposedly it’s supposed to mask that stinky dog smell that I work so hard to achieve.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Earthbath All Natural Deodorizing Spritz in Vanilla Almond is designed to make your stinky dog smell much better. Mom was quite excited about this product, and I guess I can kinda be on board if it means I will get less frequent baths. I do admit the Vanilla Almond smell was quite pleasing, but not too over powering – and a bonus is it’s supposed to make my skin softer and my coat sleek and shiny!

Now the last product, and probably my favorite, was the Powzer Flash and Dash Ball. This thing was seriously cool. When the tough outer ball is shaken (or on impact) it lights up inside for over 70 hours of play. I had so much fun playing with this ball in the dark, just see for yourself….

Overall I thought Prime Pet Supply had some great products, and I also like to see that they carry a lot of all natural and healthy for you products – because that just means my mom is more likely to buy them for me!

And now for the best part…

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you heard of Mattie & Margot? If not, then you are missing out my friend. Makers of stylish handmade dog collars, Mattie & Margot carry every color under the sun, and they’re just what I needed to brighten up my summer!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I purchased one of Mattie & Margot’s Mystery Collars (in yellow) and received this sunny Yellow Gold collar – isn’t it happy? With their Mystery Collars you can choose a color range for $16 or let it be a total surprise for $12 – what a great deal!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

And because Rachael (the expert sewing machine operator behind Mattie & Margot) knew that us farm dogs always need a back-up collar, she sent along this snazzy Bluebird/Navy Collar too.

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m still not sure which one I will stink up first on the farm, it’s a tough call.

I was looking so fine in my new collars that my kitty pal Spider got a little jealous. Too bad for her they don’t come in kitty sizes!

But for all you canines out there, I’m sure there’s a Mattie & Margot Collar just for you, they even come in a new miniature size! Which one would you choose?

Smarter than the average Cat

Ok I admit, I’ve been kinda busy scouting my groundhog holes on the farm (now that Spring has sprung and the critters are out to play) and not enough time attending to my girlfriend, Cricket the farmcat.

Hunting Groundhogs on the Farm 2012 // Ammo the Dachshund

So when I spotted Cricket’s attempt at giving herself a brush with one of the ponies’ brushes, I kinda felt bad.

Even though I felt a tad guilty, you can’t argue that she’s pretty inventive!

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed – Smartphone Automatic Pet Feeder

Since I was just a wee pup my mom has always monitored the amount of food I get, careful not to overfeed me, and always keeping me looking fit and in-shape. So when I stumbled across the Pintofeed, an automatic pet feeder controlled by your smartphone, I couldn’t help but think it was a great way to monitor how much your pet is eating on a daily basis.

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed - Automated Pet Feeder // Ammo the Dachshund

Whether you’re on the go, working late at the office or out of town on vacation, just open up the Pintofeed app and feed your pet with a tap of a button. Pintofeed will learn about your pet’s typical feeding times and automatically create a schedule to dispense food. The smart app also allows you to monitor your pet’s food intake and compare to the national average.

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed - Automated Pet Feeder // Ammo the Dachshund

I was thinking this doesn’t even have to be used when you are away from the home, but as a way to make sure your pet is eating the exact amount you want every single day. From the comfort of your couch you can feed your dog too!

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed - Automated Pet Feeder // Ammo the Dachshund

This would also be a great product to use for cats as well, I think my cat friends on the farm would greatly benefit from a product like this.

The Pintofeed is also out to lend a helping paw by donating funds to the Animal Rescue Site with every sale of their product.

Friday Fetch: Dog Clocks from Allen Designs

For Christmas my Uncle Taylor and Aunt Laurel got me a really spiffy Dachshund clock. So spiffy that I decided to do a little research, where I discovered Allen Designs; makers of quirky dog clocks and so much more!

Artist, Michelle, tries to create art that is eccentric, witty, and unique. I poured through her online shop and picked out a few of my favorite canine clocks to share with you.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont

Keeping an active and healthy lifestyle is something that is very important to me. I like to keep my sleek looking hot dog shape trim and fit, and I like to make sure that the things I am ingesting (aside from the occasional pony poop on the farm) are not only great tasting, but good for me too.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont via Ammo the Dachshund When I came across the Pet Naturals of Vermont healthy product line I knew it was something I might have to take for a whirl.

Farmyard Fun with a Dog in the Fog

This is totally going to be the name of my children’s book someday, “Farmyard Fun with a Dog in the Fog”. It sounds like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book.

And truth be told, I always have a lot of farmyard fun in the fog!

The damp blanket of foggy goodness seems to bring out all of my friends to play.

I’m always the first to grab a stick and entice my friends to join in the fun.

Catch me if you can ponies!

Before I could turn around to see who was joining me in this fun game of chase I was in the middle of nowhere, and the fog had covered me in it’s blanket!

I thought I might be lost.

Cricket got worried when she could no longer see my yellow coat in the pasture.

And Blitz began nickering for me so I could find my way back to my friends.
