Friday Fetch: Obtrack Dog Coats

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Ammo

You all know I love a good coat, especially during the cold winters here in Pennsylvania. So when one of the blogs I read (Oscar Ate My Muffin) posted about a pet coat that they absolutely love, I knew I just had to check it out.

The Obtrack coats were designed to protect a dog’s important muscle groups, thus keeping them from injury. Their coats have multiple points of adjustments to tailor the fit to each individual dog, and they even come in Dachshund sizes! These highly breathable, but exceptionally warm coats are nothing but stylish looking – and I certainly have added one to my wish list!

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Ammo

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.

Friday Fetch: Richards Harness Coat

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Ammo

Now that the winter weather is here, it’s time for me to really start bundling up in my layers, especially on the farm. One of the things that always plagues me is that I not only end up layering multiple coats to stay warm, but I also have to fit in a harness somewhere too.

So when I came across Richards Harness Coat I thought, now why didn’t I think of that!? Never mind the fact that I can’t sew (it’s those cumbersome paws)!

Yippee!
