Product Review: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

Lately I’ve been reviewing my fair share of pet treats, and I started to wonder if the Universe was trying to tell me something like, “Eat your heart out Ammo!”. But then I received this package of Low Fat dog treats made by Fromm from my pals at Chewy.com, and I realized the Universe was instead saying “Eat your heart out Ammo, but make sure it’s low fat so you don’t get fat!” Good idea Universe.

These Fromm Cranberry Liver Treats are made from Fresh Wisconsin cranberries and liver with a touch of garlic.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to take the new line of KONG Premium Treats for a spin; I’m sure nearly every dog has a kong just laying around their house begging to be stuffed with yummies – I know I do!

I was excited to try this new line of treats because they boast:

  • No wheat, corn or soy
  • No artificial colors or flavors
  • No animal byproducts
  • Made in USA

I don’t know about you, but it’s so much easier to get my mom to buy me treats when they are made from stuff that’s good for me!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

First up I decided to test the Chicken Mini Meat Bites, these little nuggets looked just the right size for me.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the first ingredient being chicken, I can attest that these soft chewy treats were oh so yummy. They’re the perfect size to use as training treats and can even can be used to stuff certain kong toys.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next up were the Beef & Cheese Meaty Flavor Bites, which looked to be the perfect fit for a kong that I already owned.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These were just as delicious, but took me extra long to devour because they were inside my Kong – something mom claims is an extra plus, but I think it’s just a waste of time!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

For my last taste test I saved my favorite, the Chew Buddies Variety Pack, mostly because what’s not to love about these adorable cookies! They were almost too cute to eat…….but my stomach won out in that battle.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I decided to dive into the T-Rex shaped one first, mostly because I felt a kindred spirit to him since I too have short stubby arms!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mr. T-Rex didn’t last very long, but mom said he helped me fight plaque and tarter buildup with his crunchy body. I’m not really sure what all that means, but if it gets me more cookies then count me in.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my Kong Premium Treats taste test – but the best part is that you too can win your very own taste test!!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you heard of Mattie & Margot? If not, then you are missing out my friend. Makers of stylish handmade dog collars, Mattie & Margot carry every color under the sun, and they’re just what I needed to brighten up my summer!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I purchased one of Mattie & Margot’s Mystery Collars (in yellow) and received this sunny Yellow Gold collar – isn’t it happy? With their Mystery Collars you can choose a color range for $16 or let it be a total surprise for $12 – what a great deal!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

And because Rachael (the expert sewing machine operator behind Mattie & Margot) knew that us farm dogs always need a back-up collar, she sent along this snazzy Bluebird/Navy Collar too.

I’m still not sure which one I will stink up first on the farm, it’s a tough call.

I was looking so fine in my new collars that my kitty pal Spider got a little jealous. Too bad for her they don’t come in kitty sizes!

But for all you canines out there, I’m sure there’s a Mattie & Margot Collar just for you, they even come in a new miniature size! Which one would you choose?

My Pickle Pocket – Treat Dispenser for Dogs

Disclaimer: This review contains affiliate links.

Recently mom picked up a new toy for me called the Pickle Pocket; after hearing some rave reviews from some of my dog agility classmates. Designed for treat dispensing, I was eager to give it a try, especially after I’ve mastered and broken many a treat dispensing toys including kongs and my kicker box (which is far too easy for me now).

Pickle Pocket - Treat Dispenser for Dogs - Review // Ammo the Dachshund

My new pickle toy is different from many of the other treat dispensers I’ve tried. This one contains three lengthwise slits across the product which are meant to hold your dog’s favorite snack or kibble.

Pickle Pocket - Treat Dispenser for Dogs - Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Pickle Pocket - Treat Dispenser for Dogs - Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom has been experimenting stuffing it with lots of different things like string cheese, peanut butter, cookies, dog food, and even hot dogs.

Pickle Pocket - Treat Dispenser for Dogs - Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I can honestly say that this toy takes a bit of work to get the yummies out. Five cookies takes me about 20 minutes to eat – and I’m an expert at treat dispensing!

Pickle Pocket - Treat Dispenser for Dogs - Review // Ammo the Dachshund

The Pickle Pocket also boasts that it’s virtually indestructible (so far it’s survived my shark-like teeth), FDA approved, floats in water, and is dishwasher safe.

Even though this toys takes a bit of work on my part, I’m not complaining, because a constant flow of cookies is NEVER a problem!

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.

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!

Friday Fetch: Pet Trackers for Dogs

I spend a lot of my time on my family’s 20 acre horse farm and while I love roaming the open land, I admit, I do like to push the natural boundaries a bit. Our farm is not fenced for dogs (me and Trooper) and for the most part I usually don’t wander too far from the barn, well that is unless I get on the trail of a pesky groundhog.

Now while I am microchipped, and I wear identification tags (including my BlanketID tag) at all times, my mom always said she wished there was a way to track my where-abouts at all times. Enter GPS Trackers for dogs! Now while I haven’t tried any of these myself, I did round up a few promising prospects that perhaps someday I’ll get to take for a whirl.

RoamEO Pet Monitor System $179

By placing the battery chargeable GPS collar from RoamEO on your dog you can use their receiver to locate and track your dog should the need arise. Once it is able to locate your dog the receiver will light up with directional bars pointing you towards your pet. It will even tell you the distance your pet is from you.

My thoughts: The collar looks a bit bulky and their website says it’s meant for medium to large sized dogs, so I wonder if it would even work on smaller dogs. I do like that it only costs a one-time fee, and there is no annual subscription fee to use the tracker. It also wasn’t entirely clear on the website how far the gps can track your dog, it may be only 0.5 miles.

You can purchase the RoamEO HERE.

Friday Fetch: GPS Trackers for Dogs - RoamEO // Ammo the Dachshund

Garmin Astro $599

The Garmin Astro is a GPS-enabled tracking system for sporting dogs. Able to track your dog up to 9 miles, this unique system pinpoints your dog’s position and shows you exactly where he is. One GPS tracker can track up to 10 dogs and as often as every 5 seconds, your dog’s collar transmits his position to your handheld. You can see his current location and a trail of where he’s been on the map page of your handheld. Switch over to the Dog Tracker page to view a compass pointing to your dog’s location as well as his current status (stopped, walking, running). This system works with AA batteries.

My thoughts: While this model seems to be great at tracking dogs, it is more designed for hunting dogs when they are in the field – then locating a lost dog. I like that it has a map view which may make finding a dog a bit more convenient. It also only costs a one-time fee and does not require a monthly subscription plan.

You can purchase the Garmin Astro HERE.

Tagg Pet Tracker $100 (plus $7.95/month service)

Tagg is a pet tracking device that uses GPS and wireless technology to track your pet’s location. Using your computer or a mobile device Tagg will track your pet 24 hours a day. You can set up boundaries on their map, and whenever your dog strays from the zone the Tagg system will alert you via email or text message. You can also use Tagg to track your pet’s daily and long-term activity levels to stay on top of their health and exercise. The Tagg can easily be attached to any collar your dog owns and is fully rechargeable lasting up to 30 days. The Tagg system is not based on a range or distance from your home or docking station, and it will locate and track your pet anywhere in the United States where there is Verizon Wireless network coverage. The first 3 months of service is included with the Tagg Tracker and after that the service is $7.95/month. Additional costs apply to adding another dog to your subscription. This device is recommended for pets 10lbs or over (and can be used on cats too).

My thoughts: I really like that Tagg can locate your pet anywhere in the United States regardless of how far it is from the docking station or your home. It is also nice to be able to attach the tracker to any collar (so we can still be stylish). It’s unfortunate that there is a monthly subscription fee in addition to purchasing the pet tracker, but perhaps it’s well worth it to make sure your best friend never goes missing. I wonder how the map boundaries would work for a dog that spends time in multiple locations (like me who spends time on the family farm and at home in my own backyard) – it was unclear if you can add multiple locations to be notified if your dog leaves the area.

You can purchase the Tagg Pet Tracker HERE.

Pocket Finder $150 (plus $12.95/month service)

The PocketFinder GPS Pet Tracker turn virtually any sized collar or harness into a GPS dog collar. Simply attach the device to your dog’s collar and track them from the website or with the free apps for your smartphone. Similar to the Tagg Tracker, you can set unlimited “Geo-Fence” zones and receive alerts via email or text when your dog goes outside the zone. This rechargeable device allows you to instantly see the GPS location of your dog anytime, anywhere, with the greatest accuracy, to within a few feet of its physical location. You can even access up to 60 days of tracking history to ensure a dog walker does their job or your pet is active.

My thoughts: The website says it’s designed for dogs 20lbs or over, and the tracker device is about the size of an oreo – so it seems a bit bigger than it’s counterpart the tagg tracker. I do like how you can set up multiple zones to track your dog in, should they leave the area – and I’m not sure that the tagg can do this. The monthly service fee is a bit steeper than the comparable tagg.

You can purchase the PocketFinder HERE.

SpotLite 2.0 $120 (plus $12.99/month service)

SpotLite is able to locate your dog from anywhere at anytime using your cell phone, smart phone and/or computer. SpotLite comes with a unique “Rescue” button. If someone finds your lost dog, all he or she has to do is press the “Rescue” button and an emergency message with your dog’s location will be sent to you. Just like the Tagg and PocketFinder you can set up “SafeSpots” so when your dog strays outside the area you will receive a text or email message letting you know the current location of your dog. SpotLite also comes with the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR) support, which is available 24/7 to help you get your dog – or locate the home of a found dog enrolled in the program. Their tracking device attaches to your dog’s existing collar and is fully rechargeable.

My thoughts: Their website says the device can be used on any size dog, but they recommend 10lbs or over. I really like that this device works with the AKC CAR program, boasting to be the only GPS pet tracker on the market that offers this, which provides your pet with a unique id number and is available by phone 24/7, even giving you turn by turn directions should your pet go missing. The rescue button on the actual GPS unit is also a great bonus feature. I also like that you can set up multiple safespots (10 total) and activate up to 5 at a time. The monthly service fee is a bit higher, but it comes with a lot of extras that the other devices don’t have.

You can purchase SpotLite HERE.

My New Yellow Glowdoggie Collar

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Glowdoggie.

My pals over at Glowdoggie (Hi Leila and Harriet!) recently sent me a new lightsaber led glow collar to take for a whirl.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m no stranger to the super awesome LED collars that Glowdoggie sells, in fact I currently own the red, blue, and green mini collars. So I was really excited to test out their new Yellow Mini Collar.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I use my Glowdoggie collars ALL THE TIME, especially on the farm. I also wear one every time I go out in my backyard at night or for a walk in the evening.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says they keep me safe and make it easier for her to know exactly where I am. I admit I like to wander a bit when I’m at the farm.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

These collars are super bright (the photos don’t do it justice) and I’m so glad to have a product that makes it so mom feels safe enough to let me explore the farm on my own in the dark.

Here are some great features about this product:

  • 100% waterproof, not just water-resistant (I’ve worn mine in the water, through the mud, and down groundhog holes with no problems)
  • 2 year warranty, but they last considerably longer (I’ve had some of mine for 3+ years and they are still going strong)
  • K-9 Search & Rescue tested and approved
  • Extremely robust, durable construction
  • Superflux-LEDs with over 150,000 hours shine-life
  • Superior visibility at night or in low-light situations (I’m visible all night long on the farm)
  • Intelligent battery-management technology for long battery life  (Mom changes the batteries on mine about once a year!)
  • Automatically turns on&off thanks to patented motion sensor chip (by simply holding the collar upside down the light will turn off, I store mine on the doorknob by the backdoor for easy use)
  • Perfect for North America’s often extreme weather conditions

I can’t say enough good things about Glowdoggie, it really is one of those products I just can’t live without!

Product Review: K9Carfence & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by K9Carfence.

**This giveaway is no longer accepting entries**

You might remember that a couple of months ago I featured a new product I had seen at an event called the K9Carfence, an in-car safety fence designed for small dogs.

Well recently the K9Carfence company offered me up a chance to take their product for a test drive.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

At first I was a bit worried that I might have to give up the booster seat that I have been riding in since I was just a wee pup, but I was relieved to hear that my booster could easily fit inside the K9Carfence system.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

The K9Carfence easily attaches to any front or back seat of a car (I personally prefer to ride in the back seat) to keep your dog protected and secure while riding in the car.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

And while I prefer to put my booster seat inside the K9Carfence, you do have the option to simply let your dog move freely within the space. This would be great for dogs that don’t like to be confined while in the car, and still want to be able to look out of the window or easily change positions.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

Should you need to take down the K9Carfence for any non-furry passengers, it easily unsnaps and can be pushed underneath a seat, leaving the seat protector in place and the seat belts still fully functional.

Product Review & Giveaway: K9Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

Or if you prefer, with a few more easy steps you can roll the entire K9Carfence into a neat little travel bag making it easy to transport into another vehicle or to stow away until you need it again.

Here’s a short video I shot while taking the K9Carfence for a test ride:

As you can see adjusting to the K9Carfence wasn’t even an issue for me, and although I didn’t test it out in any sudden stops (mom says she’s a very good driver and has a zero accident record – and I’m hoping she keeps it that way), it does seem like it would prevent me from flying around the car should we ever have an accident. And one can never be too safe when the lives of cute little Dachshunds are at stake!

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

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.

Product Review: SafetyGlo Harness for Dogs from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

When my friends over at Chewy.com, formally known as Mr. Chewy (they dropped the formality because we’re all friends here), contacted me about the new SafetyGlo products they are carrying on their site – I just knew I had to take them for a whirl.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

The SafetyGlo products are the only ones on the market that are solar and usb chargeable. They emit a glowing light that is visible from over 500 yards away.

Perfect for keeping your pet safe on late night walks, visible at night in the back yard, and if you’re like me….on the family farm.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

But before I could take the SafetyGlo harness for a spin, I had to charge it up! The easily detachable charging unit comes with a small USB cable that can be plugged into your computer for charging. Alternatively you can leave it to charge out in the sun – or simply place it on your dog while they are outside during the day and let the sun do it’s magic.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

Once charged, the SafetyGlo unit easily snaps & velcros to the back of the harness.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

There is also a handy on and off switch on the charger – so during the day you can switch it off.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

And at night you can let it Glo!

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

Of course the true test is always the farm dog test….so I harnessed up and prepared to romp around the farm in my new SafetyGlo Harness.

Farmdog approved!

I’m wearing the medium SafetyGlo Harness, which fits me snuggly like a glove – it seems the sizes might run a little small, so when ordering maybe order a size up if you are unsure.

Fetching Finds: My New Voyager Jackets

Don’t worry, I’m not packing my bags and moving north to become an Eskimo.

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

Nope, I’m just modeling my new jackets that mom got me from Voyagers K9. You might remember that I posted about them a few weeks ago (which you can read here).

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

Well my mom thought I could use a little wardrobe update this winter so she contacted them and ordered me two custom made coats to fit me exactly.

Since I’m too big to fit into their mini dachshund coat I had to send in custom measurements. So after Voyagers K9 got all my measurements, mom ordered me a winter coat and tummy warmer in yellow and she even had them put in an opening for my harness on the winter coat.

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

Last night I got to put my coats to the test out on the farm and since I figured some of my canine friends might be in the need for a winter coat this year too I thought I’d share a little review for you!

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

Pros:

  • Very warm, especially when you layer a tummy warmer & winter coat
  • Fits me like a glove and is exactly the perfect length
  • Love the hood on the winter coat because I can cover up my ears when it’s really cold
  • Seams & velcro seem strong
  • Not too bulky and it’s easy for me to move around in
  • I can still fit my glowdoggie collar over top of the hood so I’m safe in the dark
  • The coats make me look oh so stylish

Cons:

  • I couldn’t order any of the coats with a d-ring sewn onto the outside
  • Optional harness opening in winter coat is too high near my neck, meaning I can’t wear my custom harness from my pal Baxter’s mom because the d-ring is too far down my back. But it was at a nearly perfect position to work with my Puppia harness that I have.
  • They couldn’t put a harness opening in the tummy warmer, but the neck opening sits a little farther back so I can still reach my d-ring if I wear a harness under the tummy warmer. (I could also probably fit a harness on top of the tummy warmer since it’s thin enough).
  • The coat doesn’t go in between my legs like some of the other coats I have, although I feel like I can move a little easier without any fabric there. Time will tell if it keeps me warm enough in the snow without something to protect my chest.

UPDATE – apparently there was a slight mix-up and my coat actually didn’t come with a harness hole, what I actually thought was a harness hole was a hole for a collar. So I think with a harness hole put in it will be at a better position to be used with my custom made harness. I’ll update everyone as soon as I get to test it out! Yipee!

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

Overall I think my new coats are the perfect addition to my winter wardrobe. We’ll see how long they can hold up to the rigors of farm life!

P.S. Don’t forget Voyagers K9 can make custom coats to fit any size dog, even mixed breeds!

 

Disclosure – I was not paid or compensated to write this post for Voyagers K9, I simply thought their coats looked warm and snuggly!
