What to Pack when you go Summer Camping with your Dog

One of my favorite summertime adventures with my family is to go camping, and as luck would have it this weekend I did just that! You may have caught a glimpse of my outdoor activities this weekend on Instagram and Facebook, and while I promise a full recap of all my camping related fun, today I’d thought I’d share how I pack for a camping trip.

Ammo’s Must Have Summer Camping Gear:

The key to summer camping with your four-legged companion is to make sure you bring plenty of items to keep them cool in the heat. During the day you can also choose camping activities that involve water (like swimming, kayaking, or boating) or shade (like hiking in the woods or geocaching). And when in doubt, wait for a cooler month to go on a camping adventure.

Friday Fetch: On the Go with Molly Mutt

My friends over at Molly Mutt recently came out with a new line of On the Go products made from leftover fabric from their dog duvet cover line.

Their fillmore pouches snap onto your dog leash and holds a roll of waste bags – for easy access. The molly mutt tote bag is available in your favorite molly mutt patterns and is perfect for carrying anything – from groceries to your dog’s toys!

My Latest Shopping Treasures

It’s no secret that I love to shop for the latest and greatest dog products, evident by my weekly blog feature, Friday Fetch. So when I actually get a chance to test some of these products out myself convince mom she has to buy me something, I love to share my experiences with my fans.

Ammo the Dachshund // Molly Mutt // Found My Animal

I always seem to be in the need for a new dog bed, mostly because I like to chew on my bed at work. Don’t tell my mom, but really I chew them up because I can’t wait to pick out a new duvet cover from one of my favorite companies, Molly Mutt.

Ammo the Dachshund // Molly Mutt // Found My Animal

I love Molly Mutt because the dog bed duvet covers are oh so stylish, and mom says she loves them because she doesn’t have to pay for an entire new dog bed when I go on one of my chewing frenzies. So I guess you’d call it a win-win.

My next purchase of the week was a leash made by Found My Animal, because a dog can never have too many leashes.

Ammo the Dachshund // Molly Mutt // Found My Animal

Mom purchased this leash through the new deal site LeLePets at a discounted price. It caught my eye because it was a little bit different than the average dog walking device. Yes it is bright orange (probably wouldn’t have been my first color choice though but it was the only thing available through LeLePets), but it also comes adorned with a stamped tag.

I’ve always been a fan of the rope leashes (probably because they are reminiscent of a pony lead rope, and you all know how I love ponies), and this one even has a few extra goodies up it’s sleeve.

Instead of being a fixed handle at the end it has a clip that can be attached to two different rings, creating a larger or smaller loop. Mom thought this would be great when she needs to “park me” at a tree, or perhaps during a therapy dog visit. I mostly thought it would come in handy so I could attach myself to the paddle board should I go overboard again on our next lake outing.

Either way, this new leash attachment has already proven to be very functional.

Overall I give both this week’s purchases two paws up – hopefully I’ll be back soon to share some more pet products I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. I just have to get my sad puppy eyes warmed up to use on mom…..I have my eye on some new fall sweaters! Ammo the Dachshund

 

*Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to share these products with you. Both items were fully purchased.

Friday Fetch: New Products from Molly Mutt

molly muttMolly Mutt is one of my go-to shops for all my bedding needs. Their revolutionary dog duvet & stuff sack make creating & maintaining a stylish, comfortable, and clean dog bed easier – and less costly – than ever before. So I was super excited when I heard that they’ve just come out with three brand-new product lines & a new pattern for their dog bed duvet covers.

First up is the Armor – waterproof liner, perfect for those dogs with a bed-wetting problem (Don’t worry, I won’t tell). Designed specifically to be used with the Molly Mutt beds, this liner will keep your dog’s sleep spot dry from the elements! Check out the video here.

The next new product is the Pillow Pack, it attaches to your Molly Mutt dog bed giving your pup an added pillow. Because pillows aren’t just for people you know! Check out the video here.

Also featured is their brand-new crate covers! I’m not a crate dog myself, but if I was I would totally be dawning one of these. Designed in fabulous patterns it even has a roll-up front door flap for easy access.

Leila & Harriet from Glowdoggie sent me one of their new neon green mini collars for my Birthday! Aren’t they so sweet. And they must have known how much of a spoiled sport Trooper is too, because they sent one along for him too.

I’m pretty certain that we will be playing “star wars” with our new “light sabers” out on the farm very very soon.

So thanks girls! I’m sending some wet nose kisses your way!

Mom also surprised me with one more gift (which hasn’t quite arrived yet…..shame on her for ordering too late) – it’s a new Molly Mutt duvet cover! Now I just have to decide whether to put it on my dog bed at home – or in the shop…..hummm decisions, decisions.

Birthday Week: Wish List

What’s a Birthday week without a wish list? Here’s a few things I’ve been swooning over lately!

1. Bowtie from Silly Buddy. I’ve had my eye on one of these for a long time now. But they’re all so dashing I can’t decide which one I LOVE best!

2. Sky Blue Raincoat from Noodle and Friends. You can never have too many raincoats!

3. Travel Bowl from Dudley & Bea. My current travel bowl has seen better days, too many adventures I guess! I think I deserve something spiffy and new.

4. Toy Basket from Anthropologie. This isn’t really a toy basket per say, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t stuff the thing to the brim with my favorite go-to toys. [via]

5. Dog Duvet Cover from MollyMutt. Admittedly my current MollyMutt dog bed at the shop has seen better days – I blame the stresses of a 9 – 5. I’m also loving this duvet.
