PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I don’t know about you, but I just loooove getting mail. And when it’s a package, oh boy, that just totally gets my tail wagging! So when I got the opportunity to test out PetBox, a monthly delivery service that sends treats and toys and goodies right to your front door, well I think my tail was about to fall off from wagging too much!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now PetBox isn’t your average pet subscription box, see they actually allow members to choose their own products that go into their boxes each month. So you can opt to choose exactly what goodies your dog is getting or let it be a fun surprise, which is what I did.

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my box arrived I was surprised to see how many goodies were actually packed inside!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So lets take a closer look and see what I actually got inside my PetBox…..

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Pet Rescue Decal ($5.99) – these exterior window decals are designed to keep your pets safe incase of an emergency. Mom said she used to have one of these on her door at home when she was a kid and completely forgot that we don’t have one at our house. Well thanks to PetBox now I have one too!

NoviPet Multivitamin ($11.99) – these vitamins provide the essential nutrients for optimal pet health. As I get up there in age I’m sure adding a daily vitamin to my diet can only help! Gotta keep this body in tip-top shape!

Aussie Naturals Duck Toy ($14.99) – this jute and leather toy is designed to be “hard to kill”, and so far so good in my tough paws, because we all know what a “killer” I am!

Earth Heart Canine Calm Spray ($12.99) – this natural remedy mist is easy to use by lightly misting your fingertips and gently massaging the dog’s outer ears or abdomen. I’m pretty sure mom will be taking this along on our next vet visit, as I must admit I get a little anxious when the word “shots” is mentioned.

The Honest Kitchen Smooches ($7.99) – These low calorie sweet treats are made of all human grade ingredients with no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. When they’re made this healthy you can bet I’ll be getting to eat even more of them!

Clear Conscience Sliders & Tenderstikz ($11.99) – These are the first tender moist pet treats with NO glycerin or “vegetable” glycerin, NO propylene glycol, and NO sugars or syrups. They had me at tender and moist for sure!

Healthy Dogma Cookies ($5.95) – These pet teats are a natural and healthy alternative to processed treats. They’re also the perfect petite size for mom to carry with her during my training sessions.

Now if you add up all the products in my PetBox you would come up with a total of over $70! But guess what, you can get a PetBox subscription for as low as $29 a month!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you’ll notice from the top of my PetBox, one of my guiltiest pleasures is COOKIES – I’m pretty sure I would stuff myself silly if Mom weren’t there to make sure I didn’t over-eat and only ate the healthy ones. It’s a good thing my PetBox came stuffed to the brim with cookies of the healthy variety!

Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy tummy tummy!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh and as an extra bonus, once your PetBox is empty it makes for a super awesome fort (just the right size for little Dachshund bodies) – and don’t worry, you only have to wait a couple more weeks for another box of goodies to show up at your doorstep if you sign up for a subscription.

You can even use the code AMMO20 for a 20% discount on your PetBox subscription.

But my very favorite part about PetBox is that this month PetBox is running a Profits For Paws December campaign. For the entire month of December, PetBox is giving back 100% of it’s profits to pet charities across the United States. Now how can you not love a company that helps animals in need?

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

When my friends over at Chewy.com asked if I’d be interested in testing out their new line of Freeze-Dried Treats from Orijen, honestly, all I heard was treat!

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

These freeze-dried goodies come in a variety of flavors and are bursting with 100% pure and natural meats and nothing else.

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

These new treats from Orijen were light and fluffy and smelled delicious! They were small enough that mom said they would great to use as training treats – and can be easily broken into even smaller bites.

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m not sure I’m thrilled about the “smaller bites” idea, but I was certainly thrilled to take these Orijen treats for a test run!

I’m pretty sure my lip licking says it all – these treats were to die for! Packed full of biologically appropriate meats that include free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs, free-range red meats and fresh saltwater & freshwater fish – these treats are the perfect thing to make sure that your pet is eating healthy.

Sponsor Welcome: K9 CarFence

I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!

Sponsor Welcome // K9 Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).

I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

Dog Agility – Practicing the Chute

Every week I attend a dog agility class with mom at the Dog Training Center of Chester County. After several months of classes now I’m really starting to get the hang of things.

Dog Agility - Practicing the Chute // Ammo the Dachshund

Waiting for my turn on the course is one of the hardest things about going to class, it’s just too much fun!

Dog Agility - Practicing the Chute // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m currently working really hard on learning the weave poles, it’s like this crazy mind puzzle that I’m trying to figure out. Any day now I’ll crack it!

Recently I logged some time practicing the chute. I’m a big fan of the chute as you can see….it’s almost like I’m underground burrowing for groundhogs. Total agility heaven for us doxies.

So any of my fans also dog agility stars? Any favorite obstacles? Ammo the Dachshund
