Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

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

Did you ever just want to curl up and take a nap on the fluffiest, softest thing you can find? Well thanks to my pals at Kentucky Bluebird, your search for the fluffiest napping spot is over!

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kentucky Bluebird kindly sent me over one of their 100% certified organic canvas dog beds to take for a spin, and let me tell you, this thing is like napping on a cloud! The insides of these beds are stuffed with recycled polyester fill, and are securely stitched into place – so even the most powerful diggers (ahem, me) can’t tear them apart.

I was sent a 28″ x 18″ bed in fern green, but these beds come in lots of sizes and 9 different colors, and can even be custom made to any size you need.

My Kentucky Bluebird bed fit perfectly into a dog kennel that I already owned.

Don’t have a kennel? These can just as easily be used as dog bed in any room, and I even think it would be great to travel with as it’s just big enough for me to curl up on but not too big to take up a ton of space.

As you can see it’s 6″ of fluff was so comfortable that I had trouble even keeping my eyes open long enough for mom to take pictures.

Mom even caught me napping in my crate several times over the past few weeks with this fluffy bed. And if you know me, you know this is VERY RARE, because I don’t particularly love being in crates.

Merrick Jerky Strips Product Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

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

Our friends over at Chewy.com sent over a package of Merrick Natural Beef Liver Real Cuts Jerky Strips for me to test out recently.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These jerky strips have a VERY strong odor to them. Now if you’re a dog like me, a strong odor like this is FANTASTIC, but if you have a weak human nose, well then you might not enjoy the odor as much.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Despite the strong odor, they were soft and chewy and as far as this dog’s tastebuds are concerned, delicious.

Because of the strong smell I was able to sniff these bad boys out even after mom put them away in her bag. Lets just say I tracked them down and ate a few more than I was supposed to before mom noticed.

I’m always on the lookout for sturdy and good looking Pet Id Tags, so when Sleepypod offered me the chance to test out their Pendants I jumped at the chance!

Sleepypod Pendants Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Sleepypod Pendants are made of jewelry-grade, 100% stainless steel or 18k gold-plated metal. They chose to use stainless steel and gold as the base metals because they are hypoallergenic and do not harbor germs. The pendants are available in small and medium sizes in six shapes: Sheep, Chick, Lion, Whale, Elephant, and Stegosaur.

These ID tags aren’t your average tag, these things are built to last – boasting a 2mm thickness. I should know after I tested their durability down a couple of groundhog holes already!

I chose the small whale in stainless steel and the medium stegosaur in stainless steel.

The Goshen Country Fair is for Dogs

Posted on by

The Goshen Country Fair is exactly what you think of when you picture a country fair. Livestock, carnival rides and games, music, blueberry pie, cotton candy, and dogs!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

This past weekend I got to attend the fair for some good old fashioned hometown fun!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

To kick off my adventure I checked out the Pet Show hosted by the SPCA which was open to family dogs who wanted to compete in categories like cutest puppy and best costume. This year I decided not to enter, but instead observe my competition for next year!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

Plus it gave me a better spot to check out all the cute ladies!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

After the pet show I wandered over to the 4-H livestock tents to make some new friends. The sheep were a little sheepish though, and it seemed no one was interested in being my BFF.

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

The cows proved to be a little more interesting – or at least their smell was quite intriguing to me! I’m trying to convince mom that I need my own cows on the farm now.

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

I then took some time to check out all the fun booths and fair items, and when mom started to zero in on a booth that was offering free nail trims – I decided it would be better if we checked out the carnival games instead!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

I tried my paw at some of the squirt gun games – but alas my aim wasn’t quite up to par to beat the small child sitting next to me!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

Dad even tried to win me a stuffed animal at the dart game – but it seems our luck had run out on the carnival games.

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

So instead we picked up some Goshen Homemade Doughnuts and decided to wait for the evening’s entertainment to begin.

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

They had live music and even a pie eating contest to entertain me while I waited for the big act of the night to take the stage.

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

The Kountry K-9 Show was just up my alley, as a group of rescue trick dogs performed some pretty cool tricks on stage. I was secretly hoping they might ask me to join them!

Goshen Country Fair // Dog Friendly Event // Ammo the Dachshund

At the end of the night I waved goodbye to the ferris wheel, and felt grateful that dogs weren’t allowed on the carnival rides because I’m perfectly happy keeping all 4 feet on the ground!

Until next year Goshen Country Fair! Ammo the Dachshund

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

Posted on by

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

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Easy Scoop A Poop.

Today we’re going to talk about doggie doo doo! You know, those nice little presents of stuff that your dog leaves for you in your backyard (you’re welcome by the way). Well thanks to my friends over at Easy Scoop A Poop, we have a better way for you pet owners to deal with all those smelly little presents!

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the Easy Scoop A Poop product you no longer have to FEEL your pet’s waste. Honestly, I wouldn’t really know what thats like on account of I never have to clean up after myself (it’s good to be a dog), but according to my mom, it’s not the greatest job in the world.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This portable poop scooper comes with a roll of bags (with refills available) just inside the lid for easy access.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now for the sake of demonstrating how this product works I was more than happy to offer up some of my own little piles, but mom kindly suggested we use something a little less gross – you know, just incase you are eating lunch or something. So you can thank me later, but I found this little apple in my backyard that I’m going to use to represent my little “piles”.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So to use the Poop A Scoop you simply pull out a bag and insert your hand into the plastic handles – and then into a clean bag just as you normally would to pick up your dog’s business.

Then simply pick up the mess and invert the bag!

Now I will say that I did make mom test this out on some REAL “apples”, and it worked just as well! Just check out how easy it is to use in the video below:

The Easy Scoop A Poop:

  • Product shields your hand from pet waste warmth and texture felt through a bag.
  • Small enough to fit in your pocket or use the carbiner to clip to your pet’s leash.

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to take the new line of KONG Premium Treats for a spin; I’m sure nearly every dog has a kong just laying around their house begging to be stuffed with yummies – I know I do!

I was excited to try this new line of treats because they boast:

  • No wheat, corn or soy
  • No artificial colors or flavors
  • No animal byproducts
  • Made in USA

I don’t know about you, but it’s so much easier to get my mom to buy me treats when they are made from stuff that’s good for me!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

First up I decided to test the Chicken Mini Meat Bites, these little nuggets looked just the right size for me.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the first ingredient being chicken, I can attest that these soft chewy treats were oh so yummy. They’re the perfect size to use as training treats and can even can be used to stuff certain kong toys.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next up were the Beef & Cheese Meaty Flavor Bites, which looked to be the perfect fit for a kong that I already owned.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These were just as delicious, but took me extra long to devour because they were inside my Kong – something mom claims is an extra plus, but I think it’s just a waste of time!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

For my last taste test I saved my favorite, the Chew Buddies Variety Pack, mostly because what’s not to love about these adorable cookies! They were almost too cute to eat…….but my stomach won out in that battle.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I decided to dive into the T-Rex shaped one first, mostly because I felt a kindred spirit to him since I too have short stubby arms!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mr. T-Rex didn’t last very long, but mom said he helped me fight plaque and tarter buildup with his crunchy body. I’m not really sure what all that means, but if it gets me more cookies then count me in.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my Kong Premium Treats taste test – but the best part is that you too can win your very own taste test!!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

THREE Lucky winners will receive 1 package of Meaty Flavor Bites Beef & Cheese, 1 package of Mini Meaty Bites Chicken, and 1 package of Small Chew Buddies Variety Pack.

Rescue Animals and Blanket ID

Posted on by

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.

Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!

Blanket ID Winners // Ammo the Dachshund

As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!

Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.

Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:

To see all of their available dogs visit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.

Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club! Ammo the Dachshund
