Friday Fetch: An Island for your Dog

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!

I’m being watched

Do you ever get the feeling like you are being watched?

I feel like that a lot actually. It’s like no matter what way I turn there is someone looking over my shoulder.

Oh I should of known! My gal Cricket is always tailing me!

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Rejuv-a-Wafers.

What is Chlorella? That’s exactly what I was wondering when the company Sun Chlorella offered me up the chance to test out their line of Pet Rejuv-a-Wafers (which are made from Chlorella). So I did a little research (ok ok, I just searched for it on webmd) and I found out that Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water and is used to make supplements and medicine.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

According to my friend (Mr. WebMd) Chlorella can be used to prevent cancer, reduce radiation treatment side effects, stimulate the immune system, increase white blood cells, prevent colds, improve digestion, heal ulcers, as well as various other benefits in humans.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It sounds great and all, but what can it do for a dog? Well according to Sun Chlorella the key benefits for dogs are:

  • Boosts your pet’s energy for more walks and playfulness
  • Gives your pet a beautiful glossy coat
  • Freshens breath
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Promotes good eye health

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to give it a whirl as I couldn’t find any serious side effects from taking it (other than your #2’s might turn green – don’t be alarmed if they do). These little green pills don’t really smell like anything but be aware they aren’t your average “dog cookie” as in they don’t taste like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, or any other thing that I’d typically want to be eating. So for the picky eaters you might have to hide them in SAID hot dog, I’m sure the non-picky eaters wouldn’t complain if it was in a hot dog either.

I’m not a picky eater, so I’ve been happily gobbling up my Rejuv-a-wafers each morning with my breakfast for the past week.

Mom said she noticed that I’ve been a bit more rambunctious at work lately, although I’m not sure she totally appreciated my cardboard shredding antics. At 5 years old I may not need the added energy boost, but I think the older dogs out there would greatly benefit from the little pep in their step from the rejuv-a-wafers. I’m going to continue taking them (the box comes with 60 wafers) and I’ll be sure to report back on how it’s benefited me. Mom has her fingers crossed it really does wipe out doggie breath!

A portion of the proceeds from REJUV-A-WAFERS sales goes to support The Gentle Barn animal rescue organization! Yay for helping pets in need!

And now for the best part…

TWO Lucky WINNERS will WIN 2 Sun Chlorella Products!

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed – Smartphone Automatic Pet Feeder

Since I was just a wee pup my mom has always monitored the amount of food I get, careful not to overfeed me, and always keeping me looking fit and in-shape. So when I stumbled across the Pintofeed, an automatic pet feeder controlled by your smartphone, I couldn’t help but think it was a great way to monitor how much your pet is eating on a daily basis.

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed - Automated Pet Feeder // Ammo the Dachshund

Whether you’re on the go, working late at the office or out of town on vacation, just open up the Pintofeed app and feed your pet with a tap of a button. Pintofeed will learn about your pet’s typical feeding times and automatically create a schedule to dispense food. The smart app also allows you to monitor your pet’s food intake and compare to the national average.

Friday Fetch: Pintofeed - Automated Pet Feeder // Ammo the Dachshund

I was thinking this doesn’t even have to be used when you are away from the home, but as a way to make sure your pet is eating the exact amount you want every single day. From the comfort of your couch you can feed your dog too!

This would also be a great product to use for cats as well, I think my cat friends on the farm would greatly benefit from a product like this.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont

Keeping an active and healthy lifestyle is something that is very important to me. I like to keep my sleek looking hot dog shape trim and fit, and I like to make sure that the things I am ingesting (aside from the occasional pony poop on the farm) are not only great tasting, but good for me too.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont via Ammo the Dachshund When I came across the Pet Naturals of Vermont healthy product line I knew it was something I might have to take for a whirl.

Quiet Days on the Farm

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Excitement Abounds

Yesterday morning on the farm a cool mist of fog rolled in over the hills.

All the horses amidst a backdrop of fogginess had such an ominous look about them.

Including my pal Spider the Kitten.

Mom said the foggy sky must have brought out the feisty in Spider.

I have to admit, she had a crazier than normal look in her eye.

But when I inspected her thoroughly ….

…and sniffed every square inch…

….I couldn’t find anything that smelled like feisty! Nope, just regular old Spider.

Feisty smelling or not, excitement abounds whenever Spider has the look of fire in her eyes!

Yipeee!

Rwarrrrr!

Oh Happy day! It’s getting warmer and warmer out at the farm, which means I’m getting to have a lot more fun with my kitty friends.

Hey Spider! Want to play jungle animals? You can be the Tiger and I’ll be the Lion. We can go on Safari together!

Humm. It’s a nice try Spider, but you’re being a little too “pretty” for a Tiger.

Yeah, that’s it. Blend in, so we can hunt for Safari creatures!

And then pounce when they least expect it!

I just wish you hadn’t gotten sooo great at blending in when we play Jungle animals….

….because really….where are you?

Kitty Sneak Attack

Yesterday I got to do some scampering around the farm with my two favorite kitties, Cricket and Spider, before work.

I still don’t understand how Cricket is perfectly fine in the chilly barn without a sweater and I have to wear TWO winter coats, and I’m still cold! Do you think that makes me a Pansie?

Even little itty bitty Spider has no problem with the Winter air. I’m beginning to think something is wrong with me…..I swear I’m not an “indoor dog”.

oh look, so cute.

Sometimes  I worry about what Cricket is teaching Spider when I’m not around. I mean just look…..they’re both practicing their sneak attacks – on me!

I just wish they wouldn’t practice on me while I’m “compromised”. Can’t a dog relieve himself in private?

And thus ends my exciting morning at the farm. Until next time!
