Vitamins, pills, supplements, those words alone are enough to strike fear into the hearts of many.

I’ve found a product that not only is beneficial to your pet, but great tasting too!

This time around I decided to test out NuJoint DS.

NuVet Joint Supplements - Great Tasting Glucosamine your dog will love

As you may recall, my best pal Trooper suffers from arthritis in his joints. While he’s never one to complain too much, a glucosamine joint supplement such as NuJoint DS can be great for his joint pain.

NuJoint DS supports optimal joint health and mobility, helping to keep your pet pain free for a longer, happier life.

NuVet Joint Supplements - Great Tasting Glucosamine your dog will love

Now the best part about the vitamins and supplements from NuVet is that you won’t need to hide these pills in peanut butter, stuff them inside cream cheese, or disguise them in your dog’s dinner, because these are the best tasting vitamins Trooper and I have ever had.

NuVet Joint Supplements - Great Tasting Glucosamine your dog will love

While this time around I let my buddy Trooper do all the actual taste testing (since I myself do not currently have arthritis), you can see by my desperate attempts to open the bottle that I was a bit jealous that he got to do the tasting.

NuVet Joint Supplements - Great Tasting Glucosamine your dog will love

In fact, they were so yummy (because they are flavored with real chicken liver) that Trooper used them as treats!

NuJoint DS has increased amounts of the active ingredients MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Glucosamine, and Chondroitin. It also includes Vitamin C which is required for the synthesis of collagen (a component of joint cartilage), and it can also reduce free radical damage to cartilage.

Glandex Helps your Dog #BootTheScoot

This post is sponsored by Glandex and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about how Glandex – Natural Supplement for Anal Glands but AmmotheDachshund.com only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Glandex is not responsible for the content of this article.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

I’m sure this image looks familiar, you suddenly look up from whatever you were doing to catch your dog dragging their bum on the carpet (and in my mom’s case, the nice WHITE carpet!).
Embarrassing, yes. But do you know why us dogs do this?

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

Dogs have two small internal glands on either side of their bum that typically release a few drops of scent marking fluid whenever your pet defecates. (It’s also why us dogs can tell a lot about each other by sniffing butts). In order for your dog’s anal glands to empty properly they need large firm stools to create pressure during defecation to allow them to empty naturally. (TMI right?)

ammo the dachshund butt

But when they aren’t functioning properly, Anal gland issues arise and they become over-filled, blocked, or irritated. This is when you’ll typically catch your dog rubbing their butt across the carpet or licking.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

Thanks to my friends at Glandex® there is a product that may be able to help!

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland SupplementGlandex is the only product that addresses all of the underlying causes of anal gland problems and works from the inside out to help maintain healthy anal glands.

Using a unique fiber blend, this anal gland supplement helps to create firm and bulky stools which help the anal glands empty naturally every time your pet defecates. Glandex also contains natural anti-inflammatories to help support healthy anal glands as well as probiotics and digestive enzymes to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

Glandex comes in two formulas, powder that can be added to your pet’s daily meal….

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

…and this soft chew formula with peanut butter flavor.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

I opted to test out the chewables this time around, and I found them to be super tasty. Mom started giving me one every day at breakfast in late September.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

Glandex Key Features:

  • Promotes healthy anal gland function in dogs & cats
  • Guaranteed results within 3-5 weeks
  • Veterinarian formulated & approved
  • Great tasting & easy-to-use formula
  • All-natural premium ingredients
  • Made in the U.S.A.

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 6 with Ammo the Dachshund

Before I dive into the specifics on what I noticed while taking Glandex it’s important to note that anal gland issues are much more common in small dogs. Because of this I have always needed to have mine emptied manually by my veterinarian every 1 – 2 months roughly, which basically means mine are not emptying properly on their own.

Sometimes you may notice a horrid smell (like the worst of the worst) coming from your dog, this means that your dog just emptied their anal glands (hopefully not one your white carpet). My buddy Trooper used to do it all the time when he got really scared of something (sorry Trooper, had to spill the beans).

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

So starting in late September mom started giving me Glandex daily to see if it helped. Prior to this the last time I had had mine expressed by my vet was August 21st. Click on the image above to see a detailed report on my daily business.

General notes – while on Glandex my stools became much firmer, larger, and more regular. And by very late October I started to scoot on the carpet again, but seeing as I was due for my annual vet exam mom decided to have my anal glands expressed at the visit. They ended up being very full (as they normally are).

Peach Pillow Bed Kickstarter Campaign with Ammo the Dachshund

I did learn while at my vet that some dogs have glands that don’t sit as close to the edge of the bum, and no matter what they will never be able to express them on their own. Some dogs may be able to get some help expressing them with this fiber supplement for dogs from Glandex.

In my case I felt like Glandex definitely did what it said it would, firmed up my stool to help naturally empty my glands, and it seemed to prolong my visits to have them expressed manually. I also noticed I had less gas (unless I eat jerky….that always does it to me!) I’ll probably forever be the type of dog that has to have them manually done, but with Glandex at least I can help avoid those visits a little bit longer.

#BootTheScoot Ammo the Dachshund Tests Glandex, an Anal Gland Supplement

So if you notice your dog having an anal glad issue, don’t wait to add a fiber supplement such as Glandex to their diet. The alternative to not taking care of the issue can be costly surgeries, and if the anal glands are blocked or overfilled they may not be able to empty on their own, thus requiring expressing by a veterinarian.

To pick up your pet’s anal gland treatment visit Glandex, and help them Boot The Scoot!

Dog Hair Everywhere

When the new FURminator Comfort Edge DeShedding Tool arrived at my door a few weeks ago, I knew just who would be getting a major grooming, my buddy Trooper!

De-Shedding the Dogs with the Furminator

I have to admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of all of Trooper’s glorious hair (he claims he gets his good hair from his mom, the Australian Shepherd). I on the other hand am plagued with Dachshund pattern baldness (it’s a real thing, look it up!), and have to wear coats and sweaters all winter long to keep warm on the farm.

Should you be worried about Skin Cancer on your Dog?

Just like many dachshunds (or really any dog) I love the feeling of laying in a patch of warm sun. If you own are owned by a dachshund, then you know what I’m talking about.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

I’m sure this scene is all too familiar, your dog parks themselves in front of a big patch of sun laying there until they are visibly panting and hot to the touch. As much as I enjoy getting all toasty in the sun, my mom started to worry about what the sun might be doing to my skin. Is skin cancer something us dogs should be worried about, and if so how can we prevent it?

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

Well instead of just wondering, my mom decided to find out. So she did a little research, and even took a trip to my vet to find out more.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

See in the beginning of the summer a new (black) mole popped up on my chest. And seeing as how I have the very common dachshund pattern baldness on my belly, mom worried my exposure to the sun on a daily basis was starting to catch up to me.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

So away we went to the vet to find out if in fact dogs can get skin cancer, what we should be looking for, and how we can prevent it.

First, the good news is I didn’t have any moles or bumps that look pre-cancerous (at least not yet), so phew! But, the risk of skin cancer in dogs is just the same as it would be for humans, especially in areas where your dog may not have as much hair and for dogs that have lighter colored fur.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

My vet informed me that although I do have the occasional mole, discoloration, or skin growth pop up, that this can also be a sign of aging skin and will happen as the years pass. Documenting your dog’s skin abnormalities can be a great way to make sure there isn’t anything out of the ordinary happening that might require a biopsy or further investigation.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

Tips for Preventing Skin Cancer in Dogs:

  • Document all of your dog’s moles and abnormal skin growths with pictures and measurements. Update and check them every few months looking for changes or new growth
  • Use a pet-safe sunscreen* if your pet will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time
  • Familiarize yourself with what abnormal moles might look like on your dog (see below)
  • Consider covering windows with a UV protecting film* if your dog sun bathes a lot
  • Talk to your vet about any suspicious looking skin growths

*contains affiliate links

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

We found this helpful chart online (source unknown) that can be useful if any of your dog’s moles might warrant a trip to the vet. The same characteristics in moles can be seen on humans and are also a sign of pre-cancerous areas.

Skin Cancer and Dogs. What to look for and should you be worried?

While preventing me from “sunning” probably isn’t going to happen (sorry, I just enjoy my sun naps way too much), mom has been making me wear pet sunscreen when it looks like I’ll be napping for a while. She also plans to add a UV film to the window at the shop where I like to sun myself a lot during the day.

Wellness TruFood Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Wellness. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you will love!

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

As you may know I’ve been thinking a lot about what I eat lately. Ok, honestly, I think about what I’m going to be eating ALL THE TIME. Last week I wrote post about how my mom chooses pet food for me to eat in my rotational diet, and I’ve even discussed the portion size I’m eating each day to keep my figure trim. Well today I wanted to share the line of dog food I recently started eating from one of my favorite companies, Wellness.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

I’ve been eating dry dog food from Wellness since I was just a puppy (and ate their puppy formula), and so has my best friend Trooper. Recently they came out with a brand new line, Wellness TruFood. TruFood uses fresh whole foods from farm, land and sea in their new treats, wet and dry dog and cat food.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

The TruFood dry dog food is packed with real ingredients and free of grain, wheat, potatoes and artificial preservatives, colors and flavors. They also slow-bake raw, whole-prey meats with grain-free fiber like peas, chickpeas and lentils which gives TruFood up to 70% more protein than similar foods.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

You can actually see some of the added veggies in Trufood, and because it’s meats are slow-baked, they caramelize, which makes it oh-so-tasty for us pups. I can attest, because mom says I started eating my meals much much faster once we switched over to TruFood.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Before I dive into eating anything new, my mom and I always put on our analyzation glasses (we’re both farsighted) to make sure we’re choosing things that not only do I think taste good, but are healthy for me too!

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Here’s what’s inside the TruFood Dry Small Breed Formula (click image to enlarge). For more details on what I look for on the labels of my pet food, be sure to check out my recent post on Choosing the Best Dog Food.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Trufood also comes in several baked treat formulas, like Protein Bites, and these CocoChia Bakes Cookies that I couldn’t wait to tear into.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Wellness TruFood CocoChia treats combine whole-prey protein with antioxidant-rich superfoods, probiotics, coconut oil and chia seeds to deliver a nutritious grain-free treat.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Hey mom, since these are so healthy for me it’s fine if I eat the whole box in one sitting right?

Ammo on the Farm

Thanks to Wellness for keeping me healthy, fit, and happy for all these years. I very much look forward to adding TruFood to my diet!

Glucosamine Joint Supplement for Dogs Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by TaylorHappy. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you met my best friend Trooper? If you haven’t, you’re really missing out! Trooper is the happiest and hardest working dog I know. While I spend a lot of my time on the family horse farm, my pal Trooper lives there, and his main goal in life is to help with the horses and ALL OF THE CHORES.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is 8 years old, and because of his breeding (he’s an australian shepherd/labrador mix) and his very hard working nature he sometimes has joint pain and arthritis that slows him down more than he would like.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Thanks to my new friends at TaylorHappy I was able to give him a little secret weapon against that pesky joint pain with the TaylorHappy Glucosamine supplement.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Supplements such as Glucosamine can help to decrease inflammation and improve the the dog’s ability to repair and strengthen tissues. No supplement will ever be able to reverse structural changes in a joint (like torn cartilage, calcium deposits, or advanced scar tissue), but it can help your pet lead a more comfortable life.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my buddy Trooper isn’t taking a Glucosamine supplement he has a noticeable limp, but when he is on a supplement such as the TaylorHappy Glucosamine his limp disappears and he appears more comfortable.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

TaylorHappy Glucosamine is shellfish free, so even dogs with allergies can benefit from taking this supplement. This formula also contains chrondroitin sulfate and MSM to help protect and strengthen the cartilage. Manganese and boron are also added to assist with the production of joint fluids and healthy bone tissue.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper has had a small amount of the liquid added to his daily meals (which he happily scarfs down) for the past month (since May 9th). And he’s pretty happy about it because it means his limp won’t keep him from joining in on all the chores around the farm.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my best buddy is feeling good, I’m feeling good, because that means he’s  never in too much pain for a wrestling match!

You can check out TaylorHappy Glucosamine on Amazon and see if it’s something that might benefit your dog. And as a bonus you can SAVE $5 OFF with coupon code TROOPER1 *valid until 08/31/2015 (one redemption per customer)

I exacted my revenge when this bottle gave me the evil eye!

I always have so much fun looking back on all the exciting things I’ve done in the past month. It makes me even more excited for the adventures coming up in May! I even plan to hit up these Goat Races this weekend, maybe I’ll see some of you Chester County locals there! I can’t wait! What adventures have your and your pups been on in April? Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to test out a package of these Wellness Petite Bites from my friends at Chewy.com. Now I’m quite familiar with the Wellness brand, in fact I eat their grain-free small breed kibble on a daily basis, so I had no doubt that I would love their small breed snacks.

These Grain-Free Petite Treats are just the right size for small breed dogs. They contain the healthy ingredients their little bodies deserve. Each mini-bite is packed with great flavor from whole foods along with flaxseed to promote a healthy, shiny coat. Without artificial colors or flavors, these healthy treats are perfect for training, treating or just plain spoiling!

A couple of weekends ago I popped this package of Wellness Petite Bites into my travel bag and hit the hiking trail with my pal Shilah the Husky.

Even though they are designed for the smaller breeds, both Shilah and I both had no problem snacking on them to keep our energy up on our walk.

Not to be limited to the hiking trail only, I also happily munched on my petite treats when mom snapped a few photos of me the other day.

And let me tell you, I won’t hold a pinwheel in my mouth for just any old treat! It’s got to be yummy!
