Dachshund Life Struggle

If you follow along with me on Facebook or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen my most recent endeavor, the Dachshund Life Struggle.

Now you might be wondering, what exactly is a Dachshund Life Struggle? Well my friend, simply put – it’s all the things that make being a Dachshund so-dang-hard. The struggle is real my friends, and in order to bring awareness to all the very very hard things us dachshunds have to deal with on a daily basis I’ve started compiling a list.

So without further ado, here’s my list so far….but don’t worry, there are many many more things to add to it!

Dachshund Goes Sledding with Ponies

When the winter rolls around I sometimes (like most of you) spend a little more time indoors. Because honestly, I’d much rather be warm and toasty then freezing my tail off! But when it snows, that all changes, because one of my favorite activities involves a fresh dusting of snow and some of my furry four-legged friends.

Ammo the Dachshund // Sledding with Ponies

It’s time to go sledding with my ponies!

Ammo the Dachshund // Sledding with Ponies

All I need is a warm winter coat, an inner tube, and a willing pony! Good thing Boomerang and Blitz were more than happy to let me hitch a ride.

I hear even more snow is headed my way this Saturday……AND I CAN’T WAIT!

What sort of things do you do for fun in the snow with your dog? Ammo the Dachshund

 

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

A few months ago I shared a collection of fall sweaters that were designed to fit my fellow dachshund friends. Well now that the colder weather has set in I thought it would be fun to share my recommendations for winter coats too!

So here is my collection of 10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds – some of which I’ve tried and tested, and a few that seem to fit the bill for all those short legged/long backed doxies out there!

1. Voyagers K9 Apparel Winter Dog Coat

ammo the dachshund k9 voyagers coat

One of my go-to coats every winter is my Voyagers K9 Winter Coat. I’ve owned this coat since 2011 – and it’s held up fabulously over the years. It’s great on the farm, and the added hood is fabulous at keeping my ears warm. Not to mention I look oh-so-stylish when wearing it! You can fetch your own from Voyagers K9.

2. Noodle and Friends

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the years I’ve owned many Noodle and Friends Coats. Designed with the long bodied dogs in mind they also feature extra chest protection (great for when you’re low to the ground) and one of my favorite features – a built in d-ring so you don’t have to wear a harness too! Check out the entire line of dog coats from Noodle and Friends.

3. Teckelklub

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

While I’ve never had the chance to try one of these TeckelKlub Coats, they do look exceptionally warm! These coats come in a variety of sizes to fit many dogs, and have a variety of lengths to accommodate the dachshund’s long bodies! You can even get them embroidered with your dog’s name! I’ve heard from several of my fans that this company makes some great coats. You can fetch one of these coats from TeckelKlub.

4. Hurtta

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

After winning a photo contest I got the chance to test out one of these Hurtta Summit Parka’s, and it’s an awesome winter coat that’s exceptionally warm. I love that they have openings for harnesses, and the added draw strings on the back makes it so you can adjust them to fit any length dog, even dachshunds! Fetch your own from Hurtta.

5. Ruffwear

Ruffwear Climate Changer // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve owned the Ruffwear Climate Changer for quite some time now. And I have to say it is one of the warmest coats I’ve ever owned. Now while it’s not specifically designed for dachshunds, these coats are actually very long in the body and seem to fit my unique build like a glove. The only issue I had with the Climate Changer is that sometimes my legs got caught inside the sleeves (since they are a little extra long) – but mom fixed this issue for me by hemming them up some. But Ruffwear does make several winter coat designs that don’t have sleeves, which would likely be a little more conducive to short legged dachshunds without the need to do some hemming. You can fetch this coat and more from Ruffwear (*contains affiliate links)

6. Foggy Mountain Dog Coats

Foggy Mountain Dachshund Coat // Ammo the Dachshund

These horse blanket style dachshund coats are designed to fit the shorter leg breeds. While I haven’t tried this brand personally, I did used to own a blanket style coat when I was a puppy that fit me very well. You can fetch the Foggy Mountain Dachshund Coat from True Fit Dog Coats.

7. Lupo & Olimp Co.

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

These handmade fleece coats from Lupo & Olimp are exceptionally soft and warm. They are by far the thickest and warmest fleece jackets I have ever warm, and are great for layering on really cold days on the farm. The best part is they are handmade to fit your own dog! You can fetch them in a variety of colors from Lupo & Olimp Co. on Etsy.

8. Pepper Pet Wear

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

The folks at Pepper Pet Wear make a variety of winter coats – all of which can be custom made to fit your dog – dachshunds included! I’m always a big fan of coats that have added protection under the belly, and these definitely do that! Read my full review on the Pepper Pet Wear CoatsYou can check out these custom pet coats from Pepper Pet Wear on Etsy.

9. Dachshund Delights

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

While I’ve never warm one, Dachshund Delights makes a whole line of custom coats for Dachshunds. From fleece, to hardier winter wear they have it all, including coats with built in harnesses. You can fetch one of these winter coats from Dachshund Delights.

10.  DJANGO Reversible Puffer Vest*

(*Ammo received compensation from DJANGO in exchange for an honest review of their Puffer Reversible Dog Coat)

Django Puffer Jacket

Ok seriously, every dog needs a puffer vest – it’s just so stylish! My friends at DJANGO sent me this one in sage green, and I totally love that it’s reversible to a fun red plaid color. They come in a variety of sizes and I love that they fit us deep chested dogs perfectly. They also have the much coveted (in my opinion) hole in the back for a leash attachment. You can fetch one from DJANGO.* Use Discount code AMMO15 for 15% off DJANGO’s Puffer Reversible Dog Coat (1 use per customer)

Dachshund Attempts to Fly Plane

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s been a few years since I’ve set paw on the airport runway, but just after Christmas I decided it was high time I took to the sky once again.

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

Last time I took to the air (my very first time in fact), I was just a passenger, but this time I figured – why not just fly the plane myself?

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

After all, if anything were to go wrong – all I had to do was stick my head out the window, since I have my own awesome ear-flapping propellers!

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

After running through my safety checklist I was ready to load up my passengers and take to the air!

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

And incase you are wondering, I’m very thorough when it comes to safety.

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

I even radioed in to the control tower to make sure my plane was stocked with extra cookies – in the event that we had to make an emergency landing on a desert island somewhere. One can never be too prepared.

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

But, just as I radioed control – they reminded me that I did not in fact have my pilots license and piloting the plane wouldn’t be a great idea. Dang.

Dachshund Flys Plane - And doesn't crash! // Ammo the Dachshund

To be fair, they did have a point. So I popped into the backseat with mom and readied myself for takeoff.

I have to admit, it’s much more fun to be a passenger then having the responsibility of piloting the plane myself. And I’m sure everyone else was relieved to have an experienced pilot taking us for a ride.

How do you think your dog would react during a plane ride? Would they sit back and relax, or try to hang their head out the window? Do tell!

Puppy on the Playground

Dachshund Goes to Playground and Loves it // Ammo the Dachshund

Just after Christmas I went on a fun little excursion to the playground with my family. Who knew playing on the swing set and slides would be so much fun?

Has your dog ever been to the playground? Did he enjoy playing around as much as I did?

Trax Review – The Best GPS Tracker for Dogs

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

About a month ago my new friends over at Trax sent me one of their GPS Trackers to test out. Now if you’ve been reading my blog for quite some time, then you might know that I’ve had my eye on GPS Trackers for quite some time.

Paired with the free Trax app (available for apple and android users) using the Trax Tracker can help you keep a watchful eye on your pets and other loved ones.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom never quite pulled the trigger on getting me one because she hadn’t found just the right one – that is until Trax popped onto the market. Trax has a whole slew of features that make it stand out above the others that are available.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Trax comes with all the items you see here, which includes a handy case to attach to clothing and one to attach to your dog’s collar depending on how you plan to use it.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

The usb cord charger plugs into a slot on the tracker and can be charged by plugging into any usb port you might have (computer, car charger that has a usb converter, etc).

Trax is water resistant, shockproof, stain resistant, and functions in weather -10 °C to +40 °C – but you can help protect it further from the elements by placing a piece of tape over the usb port to help keep out water.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Since I am a dog, I opted to slip mine into the dog collar silicone case, which then easily slides onto any dog collar. One of the things I like about Trax (above a lot of other trackers out there) is the size (approximately 2.2in x 1.5in x 0.4in), it’s one of the smallest on the market – which makes it perfect for even small dogs like me to wear.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Once turned on the Trax Tracker takes a few seconds to locate satellites in your area – especially the first time you start it up. The company does note that it’s quicker to locate them in a more rural setting then in a city setting (because of the tall buildings). For me it took no time at all to connect since I tested it out on the farm for the first time.

You can also share your Trax Tracker between multiple smart phones, so both mom and dad can be tracking me at all times.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the features my mom loved about Trax is the ability to set up Geofences. A Geofence is essentially a virtual safe zone for your dog. With Trax you can set up as many geofences as you like (while many of their competitors only offer the option for 1), and they can be any size and even any shape (doesn’t have to be a square or a circle even). With geofences enabled you can receive a text alert on your smart phone whenever your pet enters or exits those areas. You can even set up a schedule for when you want the geofences to be active (for example during the hours you are at work monday through friday).

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Trax location updates depend on how fast the tracker is moving and they can be as frequent as every 3 second.

Trax is also working on adding proximity geofences where you can surround yourself with a dynamic digital fence that moves when you do. This would be great for when you walk your dog off leash as you’ll get a notification when he strays too far.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

While tracking your dog you can open up the Trax app at anytime to get an idea of where your pet is. In fact one day while I was testing out Trax on the farm my mom heard me faintly barking in the distance. She popped open the Trax app and quickly located me near one of the horses’ pastures. She used the app to track me and found me lying on the ground with my legs caught inside of one of my jackets (the perils of short legs!). We had quite a good laugh after mom set me free, but I can tell you I was super thankful for Trax after that!

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

While I’ve always had free reign of the 20 acre farm, Trax has been great for my freedom – because now my mom doesn’t have to worry about where I am or what I’m getting into, because my location is always right at her fingertips.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Now while I always liked to keep my whereabouts on the farm a bit elusive – things are a little different now because with the Trax history view my mom can view my travels at any certain time throughout the day. My groundhog hunting trails are no longer a secret, drat.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Another neat feature in the Trax app is augmented reality view (AR), with this feature enabled you can use your smartphone’s built-in camera to locate and show the distance to your tracker. It will appear in the image on your phone once it’s pointed in the right direction of your tracker.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom also found a special use for the Trax Tracker when I’m out running errands with her. Trax has the ability to set up speed alerts. So if your dog were to start traveling over the speed limit you set, you would be notified via text alert on your phone. Mom tested out this feature while I was sitting outside in the parking lot during a quick errand – but not to worry, no one tried to kidnap me – and if they ever did my mom would HUNT THEM DOWN.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

But it is nice to know I’m a little safer with speed alerts set up on my Trax Tracker. Although my mom did want to note it would be helpful if the text alerts displayed in miles instead of km.

Trax Review - A GPS Tracker for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

When you purchase Trax, two years of data and service are included, therefore during these first two years there will be no monthly fee! After these two years, you will have the option to continue your usage on a monthly basis for a fee of $5.00 or 3.95 EUR per month. Compared to the other comprable GPS Trackers I investigated, Trax is able to offer the most affordable monthly rates out of any of them.

Battery life is also important when you are looking into GPS Trackers for your dog, and Trax comes with a rechargeable battery lasting 1 day depending on how active your child/dog is. Trax is constantly enhancing those figures in every firmware update. My battery has been lasting up to about 2 weeks when I use it 3 -5 times a week for about 3-4 hours at a time.

Now while I can’t say I’ve personally tried any of the other trackers on the market, I can say that I’m not sure how I’ll ever go back to not having one. I feel like I’ve entered the future! I highly recommend checking out the Trax GPS Tracker for your dog, you can fetch one for $249 from Trax. Ammo the Dachshund

2015 New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m now about a week into 2015, and just like years past I like to come up with a few resolutions for the new year. Last year I came up with a list of several goals I wanted like to accomplish. Lets see how I did…

2014 Goals:

  1. Relax more, and don’t work so hard!
    Afternoon Nap // Ammo the Dachshund
    I always struggle with this one as I take on a lot of roles, shop dog, farm dog, guard dog at home. But I tried to relax some!

  2. Go on more walks around my neighborhood
    My Busy Memorial Day Weekend // Ammo the Dachshund
    I’m happy to report in the summer especially I tried to go on at least 1 walk a week through my neighborhood, I also went hiking a lot more too!

  3. Take a trip to the dog beach again
    A Day at the Beach // Ammo the Dachshund
    I went for a day trip this year to one of the Delaware beaches and had a blast, I also created my own beach at the farm too!

  4. Compete in a Barn Hunt Competition
    I would still love to make it to a barn hunt competition some day, sadly 2014 just wasn’t the year!

  5. Take a new training class

    Ammo the Dachshund // Agility // Teeter Totter
    While I didn’t attend any new training classes I did continue on with my dog agility training for most of the year.

Happy New Year // Ammo the Dachshund

For 2015 I decided to do something a little different. Instead of a whole list of goals I would like to accomplish I have come up with just one resolution.

My resolution for this year is to take more time to be with my family, enjoy as many adventures as possible, and learn to unplug a bit. As you know I lead quite the busy life for a dog. Not only do I work everyday in my mom’s shop as the official greeter, but I also have duties on the farm, as well as guard dog duties at home – and lets not forget my love of adventure! And while I started this blog because I wanted to share my fun adventures with you, sometimes I struggle to have a balance of adventure time and “blogging” time.

ammo the dachshund blogging outdoors

So while I have no plans to stop sharing my happy adventures with you (it’s what keeps my tail wagging everyday!), I have decided that starting next week I will be blogging 4 days a week instead of 5. (Tuesday through Friday).

But don’t worry, if you find yourself missing your monday dose of me – you can always catch adorable photos of me daily on my Facebook page and instagram account.

I’m looking forward to 2015 and all it has to bring, and I’m hoping to have even more excitement and adventures to share with you in the months to come! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund

Sleepypod Clickit Sport Review & Giveaway

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now you might remember that several months ago my pal Trooper and I took the Sleepypod Clickit, the top rated pet car safety restraint on the market, for a test ride. Well this time I’m going to share with you the brand-new Sleepypod Clickit SPORT.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Clickit Sport is Sleepypod’s next generation dog safety harness. Their new design makes it light and easy to use, without sacrificing safety. It’s also easy to put on your dog with a simple step in design.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A patent pending Infinity Loop design eliminates the need for strength-rated, steel hardware. This, in combination with a padded vest, work together to distribute and reduce damaging forces that can cause injury. Less hardware means Clickit Sport is even easier to connect and quicker to release – and all you need to connect your pet to the car is a seatbelt.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So with our new Sleepypod Clickit Sport Harnesses Trooper and I were excited to take it for a test ride.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper, being the bigger dog that he is, loves riding on the backseat of the car – so with the Clickit Sport he easily snapped into his restraint. Since I’m a bit smaller, and have trouble seeing out the window – I prefer to ride in a booster seat. And while Sleepypod doesn’t recommend using their harnesses in any other way than they are designed (for the safest possible ride), I did come up with a little modification that made it just as easy for me to still ride in my booster.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I simply snapped a spare collar through the Infinity loops on the Clickit Sport and then attached the collar to my seatbelt tether.

Check out how Trooper and I enjoyed our first ride….

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I love the new Sleepypod Clickit Sport, and the great news is at $69.99 it’s a more affordable pet restraint option with all the safety benefits. You can fetch one for your pet from Sleepypod!

The Clickit Sport is the first and only dog harness in the industry to be certified by the Independent Pet Safety Research Institution, the Center For Pet Safety. So you can feel good knowing your pet is as safe as can be in the car!

And now for the best part….

How I Spent My Christmas

So I’m back from my mini holiday vacation, and I don’t know about you, but mine wasn’t far long enough!

And while I very much enjoyed “unplugging” for a bit, I just couldn’t wait to share with you all the adventures I had while I was gone. I have so much to share from hiking trips, to airplane rides, and adventures with friends, but before I get to all that, lets start off where I left off….Christmas Eve!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

So on Christmas Eve, after I finished working a 1/2 day at the shop with mom, it was time for a little adventure.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

First stop on my adventure, was a pit-stop at the Pretzel Factory. My only gripe, they didn’t sell dog cookies.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

But not to worry, because we arrived at my local Pet Valu just in time to do a little pre-Christmas shopping.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And guess who was doing some last minute shopping himself? That’s right, I got to whisper my Christmas list into Good Old St. Nick’s ear on Christmas Eve! And he assured me that I didn’t make the naughty list……phew!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And boy was he right, because when I awoke on Christmas morning there was a whole pile of goodies under the tree for me!

I’m pretty much an expert at present unwrapping, and I wasted no time diving right into my gifts!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

The first item to reach my wrath – my December Barkbox! And just like every other month it has arrived at my doorstep, it did not disappoint!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And if your pup is wishing it received these goodies (plus the adorable bandana you’ll see me wearing later), don’t worry, you have until January 10th to snag your pup a Barkbox for 10% off with code AMMO5

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Under my tree was also this super cool Himalayan dog chew with a Ruffhides wrap from the Barkshop.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Curses that Ruffhides wrap really slowed down my chewing, to which mom said yay! and I said aw man!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Santa must have been peeking over my shoulder when I was in Pet Valu on Christmas Eve, because he snagged me one of these mini Benebones….my favorite!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom and dad also got me one of these nifty travel bags for my dog food from Harry Barker – I can’t wait to take it along on my next camping trip!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

They also got me a package of my very favorite treats, these organic chicken treats from Plato.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Santa also brought me a couple of lounge collars in my favorite color teal, so I can keep a few in all my favorite places – the farm and the shop.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And last but not least, my friends at Chewy.com sent me these Texas Toothpicks. They are made from pure beef tail and provide both a crunchy and chewy treat that help keep teeth and gums clean. So while I’m munching away on a tasty treat – I can feel good knowing my teeth are getting sparkly clean!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

After a fun morning at home with my family I packed up and headed out to the farm.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I was so excited to spend Christmas day on the farm with my pal Trooper, especially because he FINALLY moved into his new house!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course I couldn’t show up to my buddy’s house empty handed, I also brought along a few goodies for him too like a Ruffhides Chew toy just for him.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper needed a little help breaking it in though, so like the best friend that I am, I offered to show him how it’s done. I’m so sweet like that.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I also gifted my buddy this handmade pet id tag from Tag Me Pet Tags, which I had custom made with his name and the farm logo on it – on account of that he now officially lives on the farm.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper really loved it, and if you want to snag your pup one too you can use code HOLLYAMMO for 10% off your next purchase.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

The best part about spending Christmas day on the farm though, that my furry little pony friends were just right outside the door.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

It made it that much more special that I could spend time with all of my friends on Christmas day.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Before my holiday festivities could come to an end I packed up at the farm and headed over to my MomMom & PopPop’s house for some more fun with all my cousins and Aunts & Uncles.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I had a blast opening presents with my family.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And even took a few selfies with my cousins!

P.S. Santa if you’re reading this, I really want a pair of those spiffy storm trooper & darth vadar pajamas next year too!

Happy Holidays friends! Ammo the Dachshund

12 Days of Cheer! Merry Christmas from Ammo the Dachshund

Merry Christmas Friends!!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer with me! December has been quite the crazy whirlwind for me as mom and I have been working lots of overtime at the shop to fulfill everyone’s Christmas framing orders. So since I haven’t had a day off in about 3 weeks, I think I’m pretty much due for one. So I’m going to be taking a short little blogging break until after the new year as I spend today celebrating Christmas with my friends and family.

But incase you’ll miss my fuzzy little face (and wiggly tail), I will be posting over on my Facebook page in the meantime.

12 Days of Cheer! Merry Christmas from Ammo the Dachshund

And I’m awfully glad that Santa already delivered my presents…..because I just couldn’t help myself! But sometimes everyone deserves to be a little naughty!

Happy Holidays! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund
