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

I had heard great things about Barkbox, a monthly subscription plan of goodies for your furry friend, and I was super excited when they offered to send me a box.

Last month I received my very first Barkbox delivery, and since it was the month of October, mom was determined to get a photo of me in my Halloween costume with my box of goodies.

Only when I got a sniff of all the glorious things inside my October Barkbox, I just couldn’t be bothered to sit pretty in my Ninja Turtle costume for photos. So I ripped off that mask and dove right in!

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Barkbox is one of those companies that I can really get behind, because not only do they provide a great product, but they also donate 10% of their proceeds to dogs in need.

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With subscription plans starting as low as $19 a month, there is something for every budget!

For such a small box I was surprised at how much they were able to fit in there! And I can’t help but think these would make the perfect gifts for all your dog loving friends this Christmas.

I loved the pack of shareable Halloween treats, which I even shared with a few of my doggie friends. And the Mutt Meatballs look like a blast (all you have to do is add a pound of ground beef to the mix and cook).

Of course I wasted no time showing my new toy how we do things in my house.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Noodle and Friends.

If you have are owned by a dachshund then you know how hard it can be to find items to fit them. And even sometimes when you can find something that fits – it’s not always the most flattering of outfits. My friends, it doesn’t have to be so, because my pals at Noodle and Friends have just what you need.

Noodle and Friends makes functional and fashionable gear with little dachshund bodies in mind!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Sweet Noodle (and her friends) sent me over some of their super cute coats to try, and boy were they just what I needed to keep me nice and toasty this winter season.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

This Red Blizzard Parka with Thinsulate is the ultimate in doxie warmth. It’s got a waterproof and windproof outer layer as well as an internal layer of Thinsulate insulation.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the great things about these Noodle and Friends coats is that they are designed to completely cover and protect us dachshund’s sensitive underbellies. Nothing like running through the mud at the farm and keeping your tummy nice and dry!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Speaking of the farm, I wasted no time in taking my new Blizzard Parka to the barn, mainly to show-off how stylish I looked to all my pony friends.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says she likes the bright red color too, because now that it’s hunting season in Pennsylvania I have to make sure I stand out everywhere I go. (not that my dazzling good looks didn’t do that already).

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

I can’t wait to test this baby out in the snow this winter!

Red Blizzard Parka with Thinsulate

Features:
– Dachshund-specific length
– Broad coverage of the dachshund chest area
– Adjustable quick and easy velcro closures to ensure perfect fit
– D-ring and storm-flap covered, finished harness hole for easy and fast lead attachment
– Waterproof and windproof 2-ply Taslan nylon exterior
– Semi-permeable waterproof-breathable membrane backing the Taslan absorbs and evaporates away any internal moisture
– 150 gram high-loft Thinsulate insulation layer
– Water-resistant microfleece lining
– Lined functional pockets with easy velcro closures
– Decorative buttons and topstitch finishing detail

I also took for a spin this Reversible Peacoat in navy blue. I felt like I was ready for the open seas (if I only had a ship) with this trendy jacket, the buttons even featured cute little anchors on them!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

This 100% wool peacoat was super warm as well, and I’ve been having fun wearing it to work since it’s a little dressy for the farm!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

One of my absolute favorite things about the Noodle and Friends coats is that they all have extra strong d-rings sewn into the jackets. You have no idea how nice it is to not have to put on a harness UNDER your coat. But should you choose, there is also a hole to hook a leash to your harness as well if you still want to wear one.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Another fun feature is their coats include pockets that are actually functional. You can store extra dog bags, cookies, or if you are super cool like me……you can carry around your own business cards.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

The Noodle and Friends Peacoat is also reversible, so you can get two looks for the price of one!

Peacoat – Reversible

Features:
– Dachshund-perfect length
– Broad coverage of the dachshund chest area
– Adjustable quick and easy velcro closures to ensure perfect fit
– Two-coats-in-one reversible design
– D-ring and finished harness hole for easy and fast lead attachment
– Warm 100% wool exterior
– Water-resistant microfleece lining
– Lined functional pockets with easy velcro closures
– Decorative buttons and topstitch finishing detail

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Noodle also sent me a fun little squeaky toy, which I had a blast annoying mom and dad with. BEST DAY EVER. 🙂

The only thing extra I wish these coats had was a label sewn into the coat with washing instructions (although they do come with instructions in the packaging) – mostly because my mom is super forgetful and tends to ruin clothing when she throws all my stinky barn wear into the wash. So make sure you mind the washing instructions for these coats, as some of them may need to be hand washed!

So if you’re looking for something extra special to keep your dachshunds warm in this winter, make sure you check out Noodle and Friends. Their coats come in a variety of sizes (I am wearing size medium, and I weigh about 17 lbs), and are lovingly made in the USA.

Which coat is your favorite?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Easy 123 Art.

Growing up in a family of artists (including myself) there never seems to be a shortness of creativity. But did you know that even if you aren’t of the artistic nature, that it’s still as easy as 123, with Easy 123 Art!

Makers of the Photo by Numbers Kit, I was super excited when they offered me up the chance to test out their mini 8×8 paint by number kit.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So first things first, I had to choose one of my photos that I wanted to turn into a paint by number. This was no easy task if you have seen the number of photographs my mom takes of me on a daily basis. So we finally settled on this shot of me on the Cape May Beaches this summer.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

We sent my photo off to Easy 123 Art, and they sent me back this nifty little paint by number kit a few days later.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Complete with brushes and acrylic paints numbered to match the blocks on your art, it was time for mom to get painting!

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom decided to use some of her own paintbrushes she had on hand for the detailed stuff, but it was noted in the directions that you could trim the ends of the brushes included with a pair of scissors to get a more detailed brush.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Starting with the smallest numbers first, slowly mom began to make progress on my painting.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Over a week, working on it here and there at the shop, my painting was starting to take shape.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

After the painting was complete this is what it looked like. Mom decided to do a little editing herself though and painted over the id tag from my collar that she didn’t think was necessary, and when it was all said and done it looked like this….

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I was quite impressed, and the only thing missing was a frame! So being that I work in a custom framing shop I just couldn’t leave this work of art unfinished.

Easy 123 Art Paint by Number // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So here’s the finished product, which is happily hanging on the wall at the shop!

Easy 123 Art’s Paint by Numbers kits come in several different sizes, and the coolest part is that you can turn ANY photo you have into a work of art. These would make great gifts for the holidays, so make sure you add them to your Christmas lists!

Sleepypod Air & Sidekick Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

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

One of the benefits to having a small dog is the ability to easily travel with them. So when Sleepypod, makers of all the things necessary to travel with your small pet, offered me up the chance to test out their Sleepypod Air Travel Bag and Sidekick Bike Rack I couldn’t wait to get riding!

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Sleepypod Air has all the bells and whistles needed for a comfortable and safe travel experience for your pet. The Air can even be used to safely transport your pet in the car (by attaching the bag with a seatbelt), and is also airline approved. It comes in 5 yummy colors (jet black, dark chocolate, orange dream, glacier silver, and strawberry red), I chose the orange dream color because I thought it might reflect the light/sun more (I thought black might get hot if I was biking in the sun), and plus, who doesn’t love some color!

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Sleepypod Air is also an airline approved bag that can easily adapt to under -seat storage requirements set by different airlines. The Sleepypod Air is a great bag for Dachshunds as it is one of their largest travel bags. The ends of the bag can compress from a length of 22″ to 19″ and all the way down to 16″ so it can easily fit under airline seats when needed. It even folds up completely flat when not in use (so once you reach your destination it won’t take up much room in your own suitcase).

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I haven’t tested the Air in the actual AIR, but I decided for my first adventure with it I would take it for a spin with the Sidekick bike attachment designed to work with several of Sleepypod’s pet carriers.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Before setting out on my maiden voyage bike ride I had to help Mom and Dad install it. The Sidekick is designed to be a stable base to hold a Sleepypod pet carrier on your bike.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

We followed the handy directions on how to install the Sidekick and with a little supervision from yours truly I was soon ready to take it for a spin. It helps to note that it works best on bikes that contain additional eyelets on the front wheels, but have no fear if your bike doesn’t have any (mine didn’t either), Sleepypod sells additional attachments to make it work on ones without them.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Once installed on your bike the Sleepypod Air easily attaches to the rack with a few buckles that are already included with the bag.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I’m a bit on the large side when it comes to fitting comfortably into the Air. Weighing 18 pounds I’m a bit over the recommended weight limit for dogs of 15  pounds, but I was still able to lay down in the bag and I could even turn around in it if I really wanted to.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When it came time for my first bike ride Mom and Dad weren’t sure how I would like it. If you know me, then you know I’m not exactly thrilled about being in confined spaces like crates. But for a few weeks leading up to my ride Mom had been hiding treats in the bag around the house to convince me that it wasn’t a scary place to be.

Sleepypod Air and Sidekick Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So when I was finally zipped inside and off on my ride I was quite comfortable. The mesh lining on top of the bag is quite see-through and breathable so it helped me feel less confined. I didn’t even mind when mom made a few quick turns with the bike.

Check out the video below of me enjoying my first few rides with the Sleepypod Air and Sidekick.

Since I’m a larger dachshund my weight was a little hard for mom to handle on the front of her bike (making steering a little more difficult), but I told mom she needs to start lifting weights anyway! I’m sure you could probably install the Sidekick on the back of a bike too, making it much easier to ride with a little bit heavier of a dog. I may end up helping mom install mine on the back of our bike – just so she stops complaining that her arms are sore after our bike rides…..what a wimp!

I can’t wait for the many more bike rides that are sure to be in my future with the Sleepypod Air & Sidekick!

Shilah the Husky goes Pink with Glowdoggie

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Glowdoggie.

You may remember me mentioning my pals (Hi Liela & Harriet!) over at Glowdoggie a time or two, as I am no stranger to their LED lighted collars. I own several in many of their varying colors (yellow, blue, red, green) that I wear daily on the farm, in my backyard, and even on nightly walks at this time of year, but did you know that they also make girly colors? Like pink?

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it was the perfect time to show some pink around here, so I enlisted the help of my female friend, Shilah the Husky, to model one of Glowdoggies pink ultra collars.

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

Stunning, right?

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

I can’t say enough good things about the Glowdoggie product, they’re durable, waterproof, long-lasting (using batteries to keep them glowing), and bright.

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

And since this is MY BLOG, I couldn’t let Shilah have all the fun – so I broke out my Glowdoggie mini in yellow so I could get in on the photoshoot fun.

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah may be pretty in in pink, but I’m manly in yellow!

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m pretty sure we could be super models, especially after I taught Shilah the Blue Steel look.

Well I guess that is until you see our outtakes, in my defense a bug flew in my mouth, and Shilah thought she saw a bird!

Shilah the Husky in Pink with Glowdoggie // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you are looking for something to keep your pet safe this fall and winter, make sure you check out Glowdoggie. I always wear mine on Halloween (or during Halloween parties) on the off chance someone “accidentally” lets me out (which MAY have happened before). But with the Glowdoggie I’m never hard to spot in the dark, which keeps me safe from cars and makes it easier for my family to spot me.

The World of Dog Agility Toys

Posted on by

Unknown to me until recently there is this whole world out there of secret dog agility toys. Toys designed to encourage dogs to jump, run, and soar over the agility equipment. Toys that any dog would love – regardless of whether or not they love dog agility too.

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

So I convinced my mom that since I’m training so hard in my weekly dog agility classes that I MUST have some of these dog agility training toys. So mom purchased me a few goodies from Clean Run.

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

This jackpot and tug toy is designed to win over even the toughest of critics. I only use this one when I’m training, but it’s mighty mighty fun to “kill”.

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

These handy toys are called food tubes. Stuff them with a yummy treats (dried hotdogs were my choice) and then you can shake them to get your dogs attention and even toss them. The handy top makes dispensing them super easy (which is totally my kind of toy).

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

My favorite of the toys is the rip n tug treat dispensing ball. You put your dog’s favorite treats in the center, then velco it closed.

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve been having a blast playing fetch with this ball, then ripping it apart to grab my treats.

Now where exactly has this hidden world of dog agility toys been all my life! It’s a magical magical world, and as I’ve already told mom, I think I need to test them all now! Ammo the Dachshund

P.S. if you’re interested in dog agility and want to try the fun activity with your dog too, make sure you check out our sponsor The Dog Agility Shop, for great materials to make inexpensive DIY agility equipment for your own backyard.

Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to write about these toys or this company. I purchased these toys with my own monies, and simply wanted to share the goodness with all of you!

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Rejuv-a-Wafers.

What is Chlorella? That’s exactly what I was wondering when the company Sun Chlorella offered me up the chance to test out their line of Pet Rejuv-a-Wafers (which are made from Chlorella). So I did a little research (ok ok, I just searched for it on webmd) and I found out that Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water and is used to make supplements and medicine.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

According to my friend (Mr. WebMd) Chlorella can be used to prevent cancer, reduce radiation treatment side effects, stimulate the immune system, increase white blood cells, prevent colds, improve digestion, heal ulcers, as well as various other benefits in humans.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It sounds great and all, but what can it do for a dog? Well according to Sun Chlorella the key benefits for dogs are:

  • Boosts your pet’s energy for more walks and playfulness
  • Gives your pet a beautiful glossy coat
  • Freshens breath
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Promotes good eye health

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to give it a whirl as I couldn’t find any serious side effects from taking it (other than your #2’s might turn green – don’t be alarmed if they do). These little green pills don’t really smell like anything but be aware they aren’t your average “dog cookie” as in they don’t taste like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, or any other thing that I’d typically want to be eating. So for the picky eaters you might have to hide them in SAID hot dog, I’m sure the non-picky eaters wouldn’t complain if it was in a hot dog either.

I’m not a picky eater, so I’ve been happily gobbling up my Rejuv-a-wafers each morning with my breakfast for the past week.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom said she noticed that I’ve been a bit more rambunctious at work lately, although I’m not sure she totally appreciated my cardboard shredding antics. At 5 years old I may not need the added energy boost, but I think the older dogs out there would greatly benefit from the little pep in their step from the rejuv-a-wafers. I’m going to continue taking them (the box comes with 60 wafers) and I’ll be sure to report back on how it’s benefited me. Mom has her fingers crossed it really does wipe out doggie breath!

A portion of the proceeds from REJUV-A-WAFERS sales goes to support The Gentle Barn animal rescue organization! Yay for helping pets in need!

And now for the best part…

TWO Lucky WINNERS will WIN 2 Sun Chlorella Products!
