Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that a couple of months ago I got to test out the new line of Kong Premium Treats, which were oh so yummy. Well now they have released a new batch of goodies, and of course I couldn’t wait to get my paws on them too!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kong Pumpkin Stix

  • No Wheat, Corn or Soy
  • No Animal By-Products
  • No Harmful Preservatives or Colorants
  • Contains Vitamins and Minerals

These treats were soft, and great for stuffing into one of the kong toys I already owned. I think the Pumpkin Stix were my favorite of the Kong Premium Treats that I got to test out.

Kong American Chicken Tenders

  • Made in USA
  • All Natural
  • No Fillers
  • No Additives

These were a tougher chew that was much larger – but that didn’t stop me from chowing down!

Kong Double Rawhide Chews

  • 100% U.S. Beef Hide (Processed in Mexico)
  • No Harmful Preservatives
  • Helps Clean Teeth and Freshen Breath
  • Great Tasting and Long Lasting

These rawhide chews were definitely longer lasting, so if you have a dog that you need to keep occupied, then these are the treats for you. They might be better suited for a larger dog though, and always make sure you supervise your dog when giving them rawhides as they can sometimes be a choking hazard.

Below is a video of Trooper and I chowing down on these delicious Kong Premium Treats. Being taste testers is the best!

And now for your chance to do your very own taste test!

Merrick Jerky Strips Product Review & Giveaway

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

Our friends over at Chewy.com sent over a package of Merrick Natural Beef Liver Real Cuts Jerky Strips for me to test out recently.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These jerky strips have a VERY strong odor to them. Now if you’re a dog like me, a strong odor like this is FANTASTIC, but if you have a weak human nose, well then you might not enjoy the odor as much.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Despite the strong odor, they were soft and chewy and as far as this dog’s tastebuds are concerned, delicious.

Because of the strong smell I was able to sniff these bad boys out even after mom put them away in her bag. Lets just say I tracked them down and ate a few more than I was supposed to before mom noticed.

I’m always on the lookout for sturdy and good looking Pet Id Tags, so when Sleepypod offered me the chance to test out their Pendants I jumped at the chance!

Sleepypod Pendants Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Sleepypod Pendants are made of jewelry-grade, 100% stainless steel or 18k gold-plated metal. They chose to use stainless steel and gold as the base metals because they are hypoallergenic and do not harbor germs. The pendants are available in small and medium sizes in six shapes: Sheep, Chick, Lion, Whale, Elephant, and Stegosaur.

These ID tags aren’t your average tag, these things are built to last – boasting a 2mm thickness. I should know after I tested their durability down a couple of groundhog holes already!

I chose the small whale in stainless steel and the medium stegosaur in stainless steel.

Product Review: Ruffwear’s Swamp Cooler

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Ruffwear.

Lets face it, Summer is HOT! And when you’re a dog who’s covered in fur it can feel even hotter. So when I came across the Swamp Cooler Vest for dogs from Ruffwear it sounded like a great solution to keep us dogs cool in the heat. So when Ruffwear offered me up the chance to take their redesigned Swamp Cooler for a spin I decided to let my best friend Trooper test this one out. Trooper likes to tag along on the trail with the horses, but the summer (and his extra thick coat of hair) sometimes makes it just too hot for him to do so.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

How does it work?  Simply soak the vest with water, wring it out and put it on your dog! The evaporative cooling process will move heat away and bring cool moist air towards your dog.

Swamp Cooler from Ruffwear // Ammo the Dachshund

The Swamp Cooler was redesigned this year with three distinct functional layers. The outer layer blocks the sun, and is highly breathable to assist in the evaporative process and keep air moving through the vest to cool the inner layers. The middle layer is the absorbent layer that holds the water after you soak it. And the comfortable inner mesh layer wicks water from the mid-layer to the dog’s body keeping them cool.

On an average day tagging along with the horses at the farm this is what Trooper looks like in the summer:

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

So when the Swamp Cooler arrived I was anxious to see if it kept my working buddy any cooler!

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

We started off by hosing the vest and wringing it out before strapping it onto Trooper.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is wearing the size medium, which fit him perfectly. I’d be curious if some of the smaller sizes would work on Dachshunds or not – our never ending quest to find products that accommodate our big chests and long backs can sometimes be a bit difficult.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

I then gave Trooper strict instructions to run his little heart out after those ponies and report back to me if it kept him any cooler. I on the other hand hung back to guard the farm because my short little legs just aren’t made for keeping up on the trail!

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Then off Trooper went with my ponies, wagging his little stubby tail the whole way!

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

When Trooper returned back to the farm he reported feeling much cooler. His tongue wasn’t hanging out as much, and it took him much less time to slow his heart rate back down. We both agree that this vest would be great to taking on the hiking trail, summer walks, or even just wearing outside in the backyard in hot weather – especially for dogs that work hard or have a thicker coat. The cooling features of this vest seem to last about an hour before it needs to be re-wet again, but as long as you bring a water bottle with you (or stop at a creek like Trooper sometimes does on his trail rides), you will always have a method of making it cool again for your dog.

 Swamp Cooler from Ruffwear // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I highly recommend this product and hopefully you will be fetching your own Swamp Cooler from Ruffwear soon!

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

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

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the DachshundDisclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Prime Pet Supply.

My friends over at Prime Pet Supply recently offered me a chance to take their new pet products website for a spin. Shopping, now how did they know that would win me over?!

Prime Pet Supply stocks only the best and most natural pet foods, treats and supplies available on the market. So I hopped on their website in search of a few products to try, and picked out these fun goodies:

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Once my goodies arrived at my doorstep I wasted no time in digging right in!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The hardest part was choosing what to try first!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Two of the toys I picked up were the Kong Tugga Wubba Dog Toy and the Bionic Bone Dog Toy. Both of these toys are designed for tough chewers (which totally describes me) and after a couple weeks of play they are still holding up very well. The nice thing about the Bionic Bone is that it’s designed to be stuffed with treats – I’m thinking bully sticks just as soon as mom picks me up a few!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next I tested some Etta Says! Freeze Dried Chicken Liver Treats, which I’m not gonna lie, I mostly chose these because there was a picture of a cute little dachshund on the front.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m a big fan of freeze dried dog treats, especially since these are made in america, all natural, and contain no preservatives. Gotta love treats that taste good and are good for you! Yum!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The next product was something my mom picked out for me. Honestly, I wasn’t that thrilled about it because supposedly it’s supposed to mask that stinky dog smell that I work so hard to achieve.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Earthbath All Natural Deodorizing Spritz in Vanilla Almond is designed to make your stinky dog smell much better. Mom was quite excited about this product, and I guess I can kinda be on board if it means I will get less frequent baths. I do admit the Vanilla Almond smell was quite pleasing, but not too over powering – and a bonus is it’s supposed to make my skin softer and my coat sleek and shiny!

Now the last product, and probably my favorite, was the Powzer Flash and Dash Ball. This thing was seriously cool. When the tough outer ball is shaken (or on impact) it lights up inside for over 70 hours of play. I had so much fun playing with this ball in the dark, just see for yourself….

Overall I thought Prime Pet Supply had some great products, and I also like to see that they carry a lot of all natural and healthy for you products – because that just means my mom is more likely to buy them for me!

And now for the best part…

Voyagers K9 Product Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Voyagers K9.

Voyagers K9 Apparel is a company that I am already pretty familiar with – having owned two of their custom made coats for several years now. So when I got the chance to test out one of their raincoats, I did a little happy dance (in the rain of course).

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

The unique thing about these coats are that they can be custom made to fit your dog, and not just pure breeds – ANY BREED OF DOG. So I sent in my measurements and pretty soon there was a package waiting at my doorstep with this spiffy new red raincoat that fits me oh-so-perfectly. I mean just look how tailored it fits, which is no easy feat for an oddly shaped dachshund body.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Unlike their winter and cold weather coats, this raincoat is light weight with a mesh lining – meaning even though it’s summer I don’t have to worry about getting overheated in it.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I love the attached hood as it is the perfect for keeping my little ears dry, but I also have the option to unvelcro the front and fold it over too.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

The coats from Voyagers K9 Apparel also come with holes to attach a leash to a collar and optional ones to attach to a harness as well.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

And my final test of my spiffy new raincoat was to see how it faired in the rain – which as luck would have it a storm was rolling in on the farm!

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I started off slow – testing my new coat inside under the drops of rain that were bouncing into the barn.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Each drop beaded up on my coat and kept me perfectly dry underneath, but the true test would be romping in the puddles outside! Check it out for yourself in my instagram videos below:

My new raincoat even kept me dry enough that I wanted to take a potty break outside in the rain – now that’s saying something!

The fact that I didn’t even need a bath afterwards is proof that this is one of the best raincoats out there! And if it’s anything like my winter jackets from Voyagers K9 (which have lasted me for over 3 years now), then you know it will hold up to the rigors of farm life!

So now onto the super awesome news for you!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I got the opportunity to test out some True Chews Premium Jerky Treats from my friends at Chewy.com.

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I was super excited to dive into that bag of jerky, but then I thought to myself… “self, you should let your best friend Trooper try out these Jerky treats”…. especially since mom says jerky gives me the toots, as in room clearing toots! Which honestly I don’t understand what the big deal is anyway, but I decided to hand over the product testing to my good pal just because I like him so much.

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

So when I told Trooper that he got to be the one to test out the Premium Jerky Cuts, his eyes got real big and he started to drool!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean just look how big and juicy those jerky slabs are!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper’s eyes glazed over as he dug into that soft meat, and I admit, I started to regret letting him try them instead of keeping them all to myself.

So if you’re looking for some tasty jerky to share with your best friend (or just keep all to yourself), check out these yummy Premium Jerky Cuts from Chewy.com!

Today we’re going to talk about doggie doo doo! You know, those nice little presents of stuff that your dog leaves for you in your backyard (you’re welcome by the way). Well thanks to my friends over at Easy Scoop A Poop, we have a better way for you pet owners to deal with all those smelly little presents!

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the Easy Scoop A Poop product you no longer have to FEEL your pet’s waste. Honestly, I wouldn’t really know what thats like on account of I never have to clean up after myself (it’s good to be a dog), but according to my mom, it’s not the greatest job in the world.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This portable poop scooper comes with a roll of bags (with refills available) just inside the lid for easy access.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now for the sake of demonstrating how this product works I was more than happy to offer up some of my own little piles, but mom kindly suggested we use something a little less gross – you know, just incase you are eating lunch or something. So you can thank me later, but I found this little apple in my backyard that I’m going to use to represent my little “piles”.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So to use the Poop A Scoop you simply pull out a bag and insert your hand into the plastic handles – and then into a clean bag just as you normally would to pick up your dog’s business.
