Boxed

Boxed // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my mom decided to dip into the idea of “buying in bulk” (you know like Sam’s Club and Bj’s Wholesale) after she read a post on one of her favorite blogs about a company called Boxed. She liked it so much that I’ve decided to share the fun we had with it (as in this is not a sponsored post) incase it might interest some of you.

Boxed // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom says Boxed seems to be the way to go to shop in bulk because there are no membership fees, you don’t have to go to the store and lug all those heavy items to and from the cart, and the prices even come out cheaper when my mom compared them to places like Amazon. Plus shipping is free on your first order, and on subsequent orders when you meet a minimum for your area (mine is $60).

Boxed // Ammo the Dachshund

Boxed even carries a few pet items as well. And while they don’t have a huge variety right now, they did say they add new products all the time.

But really I wanted to share Boxed with all of you because there is one major benefit to shopping with them…..

Boxed // Ammo the Dachshund

…..the boxes!! Seriously, you’ll never guess how much fun one of these big boxes can be.

Yea, lets just say I’m hoping mom shops from Boxed more often.

Kentucky Bluebird Crate Pad Review & Giveaway

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

Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You may remember last year when I did a review for a fluffy organic dog bed from Kentucky Bluebird. Well I’m back with another fun product review from my pals at Kentucky Bluebird.

Because of their fluffy kennel bed that I added to my own crate last year I’m happy to report that almost a year later I am much happier spending time in my crate. While it’s still not my FAVORITE place to be, I happily go in there each night at dinner and relax with a peanut butter stuffed toy on my Kentucky Bluebird bed. Mom attributes much of my new success with the crate because of the soft surface I now have to lay on.

Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Well now I’m back to share the Kentucky Bluebird Crate Mat, which comes in 9 fabulous colors. Suitable for dogs or cats, these pet mats make great travel beds, kennel or crate liners or in-home lounge spots – and come in a variety of sizes for big and small pets.

My gray mat even came with these great ties on all 4 corners so that you can tie it anywhere to keep it from moving around. In my case this is great for when I decide to “bury a bone” inside my crate.

These crate mats are machine-stitched, and made with industrial strength upholstery thread, making them scratch and chew-resistant. The mats are made with bonded poly fiber (made in the USA) and quilted to prevent bunching in the wash. It’s very soft and provides about 1 inch of plushy softness. The outer fabric is heavy duty 100% Organic, GOTS Certified Cotton Duck. You can feel good about purchasing items made from organic fabric, knowing the environmental impact of the cotton production and fabric manufacturing was significantly less than that of regular fabric. Organic fabric is also a healthier choice for your pet and home.

Since I still enjoy napping on my fluffier bed from Kentucky Bluebird I decided that this crate mat would be perfect for in the car when I don’t have my booster seat with me. Using the ties I can easily attach it to the seatbelt so it won’t slide around and it will keep mom or dad’s car clean from my inevitable muddy paws.

With the great part being the mat is machine washable on cold!

So if you’re looking to add a multifunctional crate mat to your home, I highly recommend Kentucky Bluebird – their products certainly hold up over time!

P.S. They can also sprinkle catnip in with the mat stuffing for no extra charge – don’t tell Cricket or Spider that…..because they would totally be stealing my new mat!

You can fetch your own crate mat from Kentucky Bluebird! As a bonus use the coupon code ONLINEAD for 10% off any order!

And now for the best part….
