Friday Fetch: Duke & Winston Pet Apparel

Philadelphia born and raised (well close enough, as I grew up in the ‘burbs surrounding good old Philly), I was super excited to stumble across a local Philadelphia company, Duke & Winston, that was just oozing charm….of the dog kind.

A Philadelphia-based, casual clothing line for the modern gent (dogs and ladies included), their goal is to design clean & simple apparel for those who appreciate refined and practical clothing. Pretty much they are stylish and cool, and I’m drooling over their leather collars and doggie hoodies!

Friday Fetch: Modern Dog Bowls

I was browsing through some of my favorite online pet product retailers the other day when I stumbled across a line of modern dog bowls that are simply to die for. So I rounded up a few of my favorites from Waggo that I’m sure you’ll love.

Sponsor Welcome: K9 CarFence

I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!

Sponsor Welcome // K9 Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).

I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

New in the Shop! Hot Dog Notepads

A few weeks ago I announced the launch of new notepads and fun little doxie pens in my shop, which you can see HERE. Well, mom and I decided why have only two designs when you can have three!

So with a little inspiration from yours truly, we came up with the Hot Dog notepad!

Mom drew the little hot dog shape, which by the way looks so so yummy!

Even the little doxie pen looks oh so fun to play with, but I’m still perplexed at how he can snap in half like that!

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: Richards Harness Coat

Now that the winter weather is here, it’s time for me to really start bundling up in my layers, especially on the farm. One of the things that always plagues me is that I not only end up layering multiple coats to stay warm, but I also have to fit in a harness somewhere too.

So when I came across Richards Harness Coat I thought, now why didn’t I think of that!? Never mind the fact that I can’t sew (it’s those cumbersome paws)!

Friday Fetch: Richards Harness Coat // Ammo the Dachshund

Featuring winter coats, rain coats, and more – all with built in harnesses – these coats come in a variety of sizes to fit small to large dogs. They even have extra long sizes, for all those extra long dogs!

Product Review: K9Carfence & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by K9Carfence.

**This giveaway is no longer accepting entries**

You might remember that a couple of months ago I featured a new product I had seen at an event called the K9Carfence, an in-car safety fence designed for small dogs.

Well recently the K9Carfence company offered me up a chance to take their product for a test drive.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

At first I was a bit worried that I might have to give up the booster seat that I have been riding in since I was just a wee pup, but I was relieved to hear that my booster could easily fit inside the K9Carfence system.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

The K9Carfence easily attaches to any front or back seat of a car (I personally prefer to ride in the back seat) to keep your dog protected and secure while riding in the car.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

And while I prefer to put my booster seat inside the K9Carfence, you do have the option to simply let your dog move freely within the space. This would be great for dogs that don’t like to be confined while in the car, and still want to be able to look out of the window or easily change positions.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

Should you need to take down the K9Carfence for any non-furry passengers, it easily unsnaps and can be pushed underneath a seat, leaving the seat protector in place and the seat belts still fully functional.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

Or if you prefer, with a few more easy steps you can roll the entire K9Carfence into a neat little travel bag making it easy to transport into another vehicle or to stow away until you need it again.

Here’s a short video I shot while taking the K9Carfence for a test ride:

As you can see adjusting to the K9Carfence wasn’t even an issue for me, and although I didn’t test it out in any sudden stops (mom says she’s a very good driver and has a zero accident record – and I’m hoping she keeps it that way), it does seem like it would prevent me from flying around the car should we ever have an accident. And one can never be too safe when the lives of cute little Dachshunds are at stake!

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.
