Pet Shower and Massager in One + A Giveaway

MIU Pet Shower and Messager in one + A Giveaway

So it’s totally that time of year when Trooper and I enjoy rolling in mud and generally getting pretty dirty on the farm (and one of us really loves to go down dirty groundhog holes). So it comes at no surprise that we find ourselves in the bath A LOT.

Thanks to my new friends at MIU Pet Trooper and I now have a new tool to make bath time a bit quicker (so we can get back to all that running around on the farm!)

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

The MIU Pet Multi-Functional Handheld Pet Shower is a tool designed to make bathing simple again with single hand operation.

It comes with a shower head, stainless steel hose, and 4 hose adapters to fit most faucets.

The shower head has an easy to reach button on the side to control the flow of water, plastic prongs that provide gentle massage and makes your pet bathing enjoyable, and under that blue cap on the bottom is an opening that allows you to add soap to the shower head that can be released with the touch of another button.

While this pet shower is designed for indoor and outdoor use, the attachments that come with it are designed to hook to a bathroom shower head or indoor faucet, similar to the one pictured below:

Since I didn’t have the right shower or faucet at my house I decided to test out the shower in the barn wash stall. Mom had to get a little creative with the how to attach the MIU Pet hose to the barn hose – but after picking up a few hose attachments at the hardware store we were ready for a bath.

Well, technically Trooper was ready for a bath! (it’s still a bit too cold for me and my short hair to have a bath outside this time of year).

So after adding some soap to the shower head, we were ready to get Trooper all squeaky clean!

Trooper has the ideal hair type for this type of shower head, because the massaging prongs came in real handy with getting soap and water deep into his thick coat of hair.

The one-handed design of this pet shower came in real handy. With one hand free to keep Trooper from running off, the other hand could easily bathe the dog without having to put down the hose in search of soap or a brush….because it’s all right there!

All squeaky clean after his bath!

While the MIU Pet Shower can do many things, there is one thing it can’t do….keep Trooper from rubbing off his clean dog smell on the barn walls!

While Trooper loved that his bath time was cut in half, I loved that he was the one that had to test it instead of me! 😉 I’ll reserve my baths for the 80 degree weather, thank you very much.

Trooper wasn’t the only one that got to test the MIU Pet Shower though, even the horses found a use for it!

You can fetch the MIU Pet Shower from Amazon, and be sure to check out more of their pet products on the MIU Pet Website.

Growing Old Together

While I wouldn’t necessarily say that Trooper and I are old just yet, we have grown up together over the past 7 years. One of my fondest memories is spending my working days at the shop with my best buddy and wrestling on the shop floor..

Fast forward about 6 years and I’m happy to report that not much has changed….

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs

There is one rule I always live by. It’s a rule that keeps me safe, makes me feel brave, and drives my best friend Trooper CRAZY!

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

And that rule is…. ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR HIDING PLACE BEFORE YOU PLAY WITH THE BIG DOGS!

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

See those big dogs sometimes don’t understand how big they actually are. And they also don’t always realize how small you actually are. So when you have a PLAN B incase things get a little too rough, life is just a little bit easier.

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is never thrilled when I decide to take a trip into my hiding places, but even as much as I love playing with him – sometimes he doesn’t know his own size either.

I mean just check out this photo of him accidentally kicking me the other day when we were playing on the farm.

I love you buddy, but sometimes you’re a big oaf.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend, I know I sure did. I’ll be back later this week to share my Halloweenie adventures with you, but today I wanted to share with you a new product that I’m very excited about!

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Ruffwear’s new Front Range Harness is great for everyday wear, and a snap to put on your dog.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It has an aluminum V-Ring on the back for easy leash attachment, I also use mine in the car and it easily attaches to my seatbelt.

It also comes with a reinforced webbing attachment on the front so you can attach a leash there for additional control or training.

Mom and Dad also liked how there was padding underneath the buckles in the back, which makes it quick and easy to put my harness on without the risk of the buckles pinching my skin.

Another cool feature is the hidden ID pocket. Inside the little flap that says ID is a tether so you can attach your dog’s identification, then neatly tuck it into the pocket. It’s great for the hiking trail so you don’t have to worry about your dog’s tags getting caught on things.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And for the sake of never having enough ways to keep your dog safe, the inside of the harness also has a handy tag that you can write your dog’s name and phone number on, should they ever get lost (or should you ever loose your super cool new harness).

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Ruffwear Front Range Harness comes in 4 fun colors – Pacific Blue (which I’m wearing), Twilight Gray, Alpenglow Pink, and Campfire Orange.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have already noticed that I’ve been wearing my Front Range Harness for all of my most recent adventures! It’s quickly become my favorite go – to walking harness.

And even though typically I prefer a harness that doesn’t go between my front legs, this one doesn’t seem to incumber the way I walk and I actually quite enjoy wearing it.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But wether I’m hiking the trails, or taking a stroll through town it’s comfortable enough to wear everywhere I go!

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch your own Front Range Harness from Ruffwear for $39.95 in a variety of sizes for big and small dogs.

Scary Things

halloween dog

Seeing as tomorrow is Halloween I thought it would be fun to compile a list of 5 things that give me the heebie jeebies, and just totally make me want to hide under the bed!

Ammo’s List of Scary Things!

The Dog Pack // Ammo the Dachshund

1. Over Zealous Big Dogs

It’s true, I get a little un-nerved when Big Dogs think I’m their own personal squeaky toy. It’s tough being a small dog, and sometimes certain big dogs don’t give you any respect (my pal Trooper is exempt from this category as he’s really just a big softie). But I’m always quick to remind those bigger dogs that I’m NOBODY’S SQUEAKY TOY!

Ammo's Annual Vet Visit // Ammo the Dachshund

2. Vet’s Office

It’s not the vet I dislike, it’s just the actual office. It smells like other dogs, shots, and scary things. I totally get the shakes every time I go. Honestly, do you blame me though……I lost my manhood in that place!

Ammo and the Fly

3. Flies

I don’t know what it is about that tiny little buzzing creature that strikes fear in me, but if one of those flies finds it’s way inside I spend the entire day cowering in the corner as mom runs around trying to swat it for me.

4. Campfires

Even though I love to go camping, the smell of campfires and smoke are not something I’m very fond of. Call it natural instinct, call it paranoia – it doesn’t even have to be a campfire, just the smell of something smoking is enough to strike fear in me! I’ve even been known to hide in the bathtub if mom or dad burn dinner (well mostly dad!).

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

“What’s that sound”?

5. Gun Shots

As ironic as it is (considering my name is Ammo), the sound of a far-off gun shot on the farm is enough to send me screaming for my mom! Better safe than sorry I say!

Now the Yummy Bowls aren’t just for looks, they are also quite functional in that they can carry your pet’s food and water at the same time! The unique spill resistant bottom bowl makes sure water stays in the bowl and not on the floor.

Friday Fetch: Petnovate Pull Stop Dog Harness

As a small dog you would be surprised at the amount of force I can produce during a walk when I want to. And while I wouldn’t say I’m a “bad” puller, it got me thinking about what products are out there for dogs that do like to pull. I stumbled across the Petnovate Pull Stop Harness.

The Pull Stop Harness is a no pull dog harness that uses your pet’s own pulling force to act against its front legs. When your pet pulls to a point that it’s walking faster than you, the force that you begin to feel at the leash starts to act against your pet’s front legs, which slows your pet down and thus reduces the pulling altogether. Pull Stop does so without applying any squeezing or discomfort to your pet.

While I’m not sure how well this would work on a small dog (although this does come in small dog sizes), I bet there are some big dogs out there that could benefit from a product like this!
