Peach Industries Kickstarter Campaign for a Puffer Dog Bed! with Ammo the Dachshund

You may remember my friends over at Peach Pet Provisions from their Park It Mat that I reviewed on the blog last year. Well recently I was thrilled to hear they were launching a brand-new product with the help of a fun Kickstarter Campaign!

Peach Industries Kickstarter Campaign for a Puffer Dog Bed! with Ammo the Dachshund

Peach Industries sent me over one of their new Peach Pillow Beds in grey to take for a spin.

As you can see I barely made it all the way onto the bed before I was overcome with it’s super softness. Pillow Bed for sure! This thing is extra soft and comfy, so much so that mom and dad tried to steal it from me. Not gonna lie, I’ve already caught mom lounging on it in front of the TV.

Movies in the Park

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week I went on a fun “end of the summer” adventure with mom and dad to watch an outdoor movie in my local park.

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

And as if the sadness of Summer ending weren’t enough already, it was even chilly enough that I had to wear my sweatshirt!

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

But despite the cooler weather, I was still pretty excited to roll out my Park It Mat and watch the classic movie, The Sandlot.

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

There were lots of kids in attendance for the movie, but not too many of the furry four legged kind. That’s ok though, more popcorn for me!

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Only mom didn’t bring me any popcorn (the horror!), instead I had my strawberry toy stuffed with peanut butter to snack on. Can’t say I can complain!

Watching The Sandlot under the stars was a fantastic way to wrap up my Summer. But don’t worry, I still have a few more summery things to squeeze in before it ends! Ammo the Dachshund

Ideal for dog friendly dining, picnics at the park, group training sessions, and anywhere else you can take your best friend.

With several fun designs and patterns (mine is the Surf set) each mat comes with a handy travel bag and shoulder strap so you can take it everywhere you go! It also has a little pocket and ring on the front so you can stash keys, wallets, and of course treats for your pup!

I found the mat to be the perfect spot to take an afternoon snooze under my favorite tree!

Mom really liked the idea of training me to use the mat to “park myself” when we were out and about (like at a restaurant).

In fact, I even took my new Park It Mat on an adventure over the weekend.

It turned out to be the perfect thing to line the bottom of the shopping cart when I decided to make a pit-stop at the dog friendly home improvement store in my town.

The Park It Mat made it so I didn’t have to stand on the wire bottom of the cart and made the ride much more enjoyable.
