Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now you might remember that several months ago my pal Trooper and I took the Sleepypod Clickit, the top rated pet car safety restraint on the market, for a test ride. Well this time I’m going to share with you the brand-new Sleepypod Clickit SPORT.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Clickit Sport is Sleepypod’s next generation dog safety harness. Their new design makes it light and easy to use, without sacrificing safety. It’s also easy to put on your dog with a simple step in design.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A patent pending Infinity Loop design eliminates the need for strength-rated, steel hardware. This, in combination with a padded vest, work together to distribute and reduce damaging forces that can cause injury. Less hardware means Clickit Sport is even easier to connect and quicker to release – and all you need to connect your pet to the car is a seatbelt.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So with our new Sleepypod Clickit Sport Harnesses Trooper and I were excited to take it for a test ride.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper, being the bigger dog that he is, loves riding on the backseat of the car – so with the Clickit Sport he easily snapped into his restraint. Since I’m a bit smaller, and have trouble seeing out the window – I prefer to ride in a booster seat. And while Sleepypod doesn’t recommend using their harnesses in any other way than they are designed (for the safest possible ride), I did come up with a little modification that made it just as easy for me to still ride in my booster.

Sleepypod Clickit Sport review & giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I simply snapped a spare collar through the Infinity loops on the Clickit Sport and then attached the collar to my seatbelt tether.

Check out how Trooper and I enjoyed our first ride….

Trooper and I love the new Sleepypod Clickit Sport, and the great news is at $69.99 it’s a more affordable pet restraint option with all the safety benefits. You can fetch one for your pet from Sleepypod!

The Clickit Sport is the first and only dog harness in the industry to be certified by the Independent Pet Safety Research Institution, the Center For Pet Safety. So you can feel good knowing your pet is as safe as can be in the car!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends at Hagen recently sent me a fun package of goodies to try, and oh boy, I bet you can imagine my excitement when these showed up at my door!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

First up we had these natural treats from the Zoe and Hagen Heritage line.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next up we had the Tasty Bones in a Peppermint Dental Bone (on the left) and Venison Gourmet Edible Bone (on the right).

The Dental bone is made of a tough nylon and flavoring and is designed to help clean teeth while your pet chews on it. I haven’t gone to town on the Dental bone just yet, but mom says from the look and feel of it it will likely hold up to my tough choppers.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see I made a b-line for Gourmet Edible Tasty Bone.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Gourmet range of edible bones comes in a variety of flavors and is made of starch based biopolymer, food grade coloring, and synthetic flavoring. Hagen claims that it is perfectly safe for your pet to ingest small fragments that will pass through your dog’s system harmlessly.

I think the key word here might be small fragments.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Seeing as how I’m what mom labels a “tough chewer” (seriously I can devour even the toughest of toys in mere minutes), I started to break off some fairly large chunks of the edible bone rather quickly.

Mom was worried I might choke on some of the bigger pieces I was breaking off, so I think this bone may be better suited for a dog that isn’t as strong a chewer as I am. But I guess my enthusiasm for the bone proved how yummy it tasted!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But there was a toy in my Hagen goodies that was definitely going to hold up to some rougher play, the Zeus Bomber!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Bomber Key Features:

Hollow air chamber allows the ball to float and can be pressurized with air for extra bounce
100% natural rubber handles withstand substantial pulling force
Reinforced polyester layer maintains shape and structure after each and every bounce
Natural rubber outer shell supports strength and bounce

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Zeus Bomber comes in two sizes, Medium (7″) and Small (4.5″) and as you can see the one I received was the larger size.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Since the medium was just a bit too heavy for me to play with Mom said we should gift it to my bestie Trooper. And let me tell you, Trooper LOVED IT! He could of played with that thing for hours!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Although once I caught wind that we would be gifting it to Trooper mom caught me running around the house with it from room to room – trying to prove that it wasn’t in fact too large for me to play with! Perhaps I’ll have to ask for the small size for Christmas! *wink*

You can check out all these products and more at Hagen.

PULLER Review & Giveaway

Posted on November 17, 2014 by Ammo

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Puller.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I got the chance to test a product for dogs that is designed to promote physical exercise.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Puller is a training device made up of two foam rings that encourages physical exercise, helps dogs to relieve stress, and improves overall physical shape and muscle development.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I like to think I keep a pretty sleek figure myself, but there is always ways to improve!

Puller claims that with 3 simple exercises for 20 minutes a day your dog can get the equivalent of a 2 mile intensive run or 2 hours of exhausting exercise (like playing fetch).

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So Trooper and I decided to take Puller out to the farm for a little exercise.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The 3 exercises that Puller promotes is running, jumping, and pulling.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I both enjoyed getting in some physical activity with Puller. We also hear the Puller floats (although we haven’t had a chance to test it), and it’s foam material is nice and soft on our teeth.

And it’s because of the foam material that Puller is not designed to be a toy you leave for your dog to play with on their own, but a device to help you keep your pup fit and active with you.

So to get some inspiration for our next workout, Trooper and I checked out this Puller video with TreT….

After watching that Trooper and I figured, hey, we can do that….so we shot our own Puller video…

Yeah, I think we might need a little more practice before we’re as coordinated with Puller as TreT – but at least we got a good workout trying.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Well, despite our lack of coordination, Trooper and I agree that Puller is a fun device to get us excited about “working out”. Trooper especially got very excited when he saw Puller come out. I preferred to play with my Puller in my basement at home with mom and dad – it’s always been my “workout” room where I spend a lot of time in the winter burning calories and getting some physical exercise in when it’s too cold outside.

So if you want to get your best friend some exercise too, you can fetch your own Puller in standard or mini size from Collar and also on Amazon.

And now for the best part…..
