Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Today I have a really fun product to share with you that I think you (and your dog) are going to LOVE. The cute little hand knit item above is a snood from the talented Angela at Snug-A-Bull.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Just what exactly is a snood? Well essentially it’s a neck warmer and a hood for dogs that’s all wrapped in to one.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

What’s a little different about the Snug-A-Bull snoods is that they can even come with these cute little ear holes to make sure they stay put on your dog.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You may have also noticed that my snood from Snug-A-Bull came personalized with my name on it. All their snoods can be personalized with not only names, but custom colors and sometimes even patterns too!

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I even noticed on their website that they can ADD cute little fleece ears to their snoods (think adorable bear like hood on your pup) – I just might have to pick up one of those someday, because we all know I look fantastic dressed as wild animals.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My dark green and teal snood from Snug-A-Bull has come in handy lately, because even though it’s supposed to be Spring in Pennsylvania it’s still quite cold here (and we even got snow on the First Day of Spring!).

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A fun little fact about Snug-A-Bull, their shop mascots are named Bruce Wayne and Alfred. As a dog who loves everything super heroes himself….that’s just so cool!

By shopping at Snug-A-Bull you can also help the animal rescues! This month all sales are benefiting the Alive Animal Rescue.

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by the Savvy Dachshunds Boutique. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think my readers will love.

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I was introduced to the Savvy Dachshund Boutique and their fun line of custom made clothing to fit the unique shapes of the hard-to-fit Dachshund shape. Now if you are owned by a Dachshund, then you probably know it can be such a pain to find outfits to fit our long bodies and big chests.

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Well at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique you can order custom handmade clothing in your own dog’s size and a variety of fun styles.

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This cute little wool tweed jacket I received was super stylish, and even though it’s probably not the ideal jacket for on the farm (since the hay and horse hair would stick to this in seconds), I couldn’t help but take it for a spin in the snow. Mostly because I look darn good in the snow with a tweed jacket on!

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This coat would be fantastic to strut your stuff on your evening walk (and would be sure to make all the other pup’s jealous!).

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And really, fireside lounging never looked so good when you’ve got on a tweed jacket!

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The prices for jackets at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique range from $20 – $38, so you can be sure to get something special for your dog at a great price. They also come with a handy hole in the back to snap onto a harness or collar to make walking extra easy!

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I also took this Navy Plaid Jacket for a spin. The inside is lined with soft fleece with velcro closures on the chest and belly and it even had functional pockets on both sides! I can’t decide if I want to stuff them with cookies or bully sticks – it’s a tough call.

Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This jacket even has a cute little matching snood. For $12 these fleece Snoods can be made to match any jacket you order and is a great addition to keep your little pup’s neck warm.

Train Your Dog to Load in the Car

Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Chewy.com, but all opinions are entirely my own.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

Now if you own a Dachshund are owned by a Dachshund then this might sound familiar to you. Picture this, you open your front door and your dog darts out after some scent or sound (or perhaps just the thought of all of the above) and no matter how many times you call them they won’t come. Frustrating right? Imagine how us Dachshunds feel with all that nagging!

So it seems the alternative to always worrying that your dog won’t come when called is to keep them safe and secure on a leash at all times. It’s not a bad option, but what happens if you drop the leash, it breaks, or your dog accidentally gets out of the house?

In my mom’s case, she was tired of having to always leash me just to walk out our front door and get into the car to go to work everyday.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

So instead with a little help from some yummy treats, like these Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats from Chewy.com, mom has trained me to load into the car by myself. Or I guess depending on who you ask, I’ve trained my mom to give me a treat every single day for simply walking to the car (no one ever said dachshunds weren’t smart).

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

The key to the training method my mom has used with me is high value treats. High value just means it’s a treat that your dog LOVES. It has to be something your dog is willing to work for. These Blue Buffalo Wilderness Treats work great because they are nice and soft and meaty yet healthy enough that mom doesn’t feel guilty about giving me one everyday.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

So in the beginning of my training mom kept me on the leash and put a treat in her hand. She’d lure me to the car every day with the goods and once she lifted me into the car I would get my reward. We did this EVERY SINGLE DAY for several weeks.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

When I began to look forward to getting my treat in the car every morning (and seemed less interested in exploring the yard) mom removed my leash and continued to lure me to the car.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

Another few weeks passed and mom stopped walking right next to me and instead went ahead of me to the car and cued me to come load up (and get my treat).

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

A few more weeks later mom stopped carrying the treats in her hand and instead left my Blue Buffalo Wilderness Treats in the car (the handy resealable bag is great for on-the-go-training). She also started allowing me out of the house in front of her.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

And before she knew it I was running to the car (off leash) each morning and waiting to be lifted into my booster seat.

Now it’s not to say along the training route I didn’t occasionally try to wander off. But when I did mom was quick to retrieve me and return me to the car (without a treat reward for wandering). It didn’t take me long to realize that if I just went directly to the car I’d get a treat every single time.

The key here is routine, consistency, and very very yummy treats.

Train Your Dog to Get in the Car // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you’d like to give this training method a try, or if you simply want a great high-value treat to reward your dog with, I highly recommend the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Treats from Chewy.com.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Treats:

  • Grain-free treats
  • High-quality protein source
  • DHA to help support cognitive development
  • Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids to promote skin and coat health
  • Great for training
  • No corn, wheat or soy
  • Made in the USA

How trustworthy is your dog off leash? 

Disclaimer: My mom is not a professional trainer and theseAmmo the Dachshund are just methods that have worked for me. They may not be suitable for all dogs and always exercise caution when allowing your dog off-leash especially near busy roads or dangerous areas. Happy Training!

**Update** It appears that this company is unfortunately no longer in business.

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A few weeks ago my new friends over at U+ Naturals sent me some of their Dog Paw Butter to test out.

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Just like humans, us dogs get dry and cracked paws too, especially during the harsh winter. My paws were certainly no exception as they take quite a beating on the farm.

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Luckily I now have a secret weapon to fight off those dry paws! The U+ Naturals Dog Paw Butter is made with food-grade ingredients and is certified organic by the FDA.

What’s inside:

  • Organic shea butter
  • Organic coconut oil
  • Organic beeswax
  • Organic olive oil
  • Hemp seed oil
  • Vitamin E

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So over the last few weeks I started applying the Paw Butter to my paws at night. The handy chap-stick style dispenser made it easy to put on, and the only challenge my mom found was keeping me from licking it off!

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But the good news is that the ingredients are safe enough that they won’t harm me if I do get a lick or two. My Mom found wrapping me up in a blanket afterwards while I waited for my paws to dry helped deter me from licking it off.

U+ Naturals Paw Butter Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And you know what, after using it for a little while my paws were already starting to look and feel a lot softer!

I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market.

How you can help animal rescues by walking your dog

What if I told you that by simply taking your dog for a daily walk you could be helping rescue animals? You’d probably say I was crazy right? Well guess what my friend, the future is here!

Earn money for rescue dogs by walking your dog // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s super simple with an app for iPhone & Android called Walk for a Dog by WoofTrax. All you have to do is download the free app, choose the rescue group you want to walk for, and start the app every time you take your dog for a walk.

Earn money for rescue dogs by walking your dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Walk for a Dog also keeps track of the distance, speed, and duration your walks are, but the best part is no matter how long or short your walk is – you can still earn money for your rescue group of choice!

Earn money for rescue dogs by walking your dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Walk for a Dog’s donations to animal organizations are funded by sponsorship, advertising, and investors, and they send donations to active shelters and rescues about twice per year.

I love that no matter whether I’m on my daily walk to work……

Paws Jawz Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Paws Jawz.

Paws Jaws Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s that time of year here in Pennsylvania where we get lots of snow and ice – sometimes enough to warrant a need for us dogs to wear boots. Many times I reach for my (affiliate) Pawz Boots in these occasions because they are one of the few boots that will stay on funny shaped dachshund feet.

Paws Jaws Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Pawz Boots are made of an all natural rubber material (which feels and acts a lot like a latex balloon) and comes in a variety of sizes to fit all dogs. I wear a size small, but some of the true mini dachshunds (I’m a bit bigger weighing 20 lbs) might fit better in a smaller size.

Now there are lots of reasons that I like Pawz Boots, (reusable, disposable, inexpensive, they stay on), but there is one major drawback that I don’t like about them…..they’re a pain in the butt to put on!

Paws Jaws Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

That’s where Paws Jawz comes in! This handy contraption is designed to make putting on Pawz Boots easier and faster. Which when you’re a busy dog like me, you can’t be bothered to wait around while your parents try to finagle small rubber booties onto your feet.

Check out the video below of me testing out the Paws Jawz for the very first time:

The folks at Paws Jawz seem to have a much better technique for putting on the boots than my mom does (she may need a bit more practice – as it was her first time!), check out how they do it in their video:

Paws Jaws Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Overall I liked the Paws Jawz product, like I said before….anything to get me off on another adventure sooner is a winner in my book! You can fetch your own Paws Jawz starting at $10.99.

As a bonus you can use code Ammo1 for $1.00 off your order!

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

A few months ago I shared a collection of fall sweaters that were designed to fit my fellow dachshund friends. Well now that the colder weather has set in I thought it would be fun to share my recommendations for winter coats too!

So here is my collection of 10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds – some of which I’ve tried and tested, and a few that seem to fit the bill for all those short legged/long backed doxies out there!

1. Voyagers K9 Apparel Winter Dog Coat

ammo the dachshund k9 voyagers coat

One of my go-to coats every winter is my Voyagers K9 Winter Coat. I’ve owned this coat since 2011 – and it’s held up fabulously over the years. It’s great on the farm, and the added hood is fabulous at keeping my ears warm. Not to mention I look oh-so-stylish when wearing it! You can fetch your own from Voyagers K9.

2. Noodle and Friends

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

Over the years I’ve owned many Noodle and Friends Coats. Designed with the long bodied dogs in mind they also feature extra chest protection (great for when you’re low to the ground) and one of my favorite features – a built in d-ring so you don’t have to wear a harness too! Check out the entire line of dog coats from Noodle and Friends.

3. Teckelklub

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

While I’ve never had the chance to try one of these TeckelKlub Coats, they do look exceptionally warm! These coats come in a variety of sizes to fit many dogs, and have a variety of lengths to accommodate the dachshund’s long bodies! You can even get them embroidered with your dog’s name! I’ve heard from several of my fans that this company makes some great coats. You can fetch one of these coats from TeckelKlub.

4. Hurtta

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

After winning a photo contest I got the chance to test out one of these Hurtta Summit Parka’s, and it’s an awesome winter coat that’s exceptionally warm. I love that they have openings for harnesses, and the added draw strings on the back makes it so you can adjust them to fit any length dog, even dachshunds! Fetch your own from Hurtta.

5. Ruffwear

Ruffwear Climate Changer // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve owned the Ruffwear Climate Changer for quite some time now. And I have to say it is one of the warmest coats I’ve ever owned. Now while it’s not specifically designed for dachshunds, these coats are actually very long in the body and seem to fit my unique build like a glove. The only issue I had with the Climate Changer is that sometimes my legs got caught inside the sleeves (since they are a little extra long) – but mom fixed this issue for me by hemming them up some. But Ruffwear does make several winter coat designs that don’t have sleeves, which would likely be a little more conducive to short legged dachshunds without the need to do some hemming. You can fetch this coat and more from Ruffwear (*contains affiliate links)

6. Foggy Mountain Dog Coats

Foggy Mountain Dachshund Coat // Ammo the Dachshund

These horse blanket style dachshund coats are designed to fit the shorter leg breeds. While I haven’t tried this brand personally, I did used to own a blanket style coat when I was a puppy that fit me very well. You can fetch the Foggy Mountain Dachshund Coat from True Fit Dog Coats.

7. Lupo & Olimp Co.

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

These handmade fleece coats from Lupo & Olimp are exceptionally soft and warm. They are by far the thickest and warmest fleece jackets I have ever warm, and are great for layering on really cold days on the farm. The best part is they are handmade to fit your own dog! You can fetch them in a variety of colors from Lupo & Olimp Co. on Etsy.

8. Pepper Pet Wear

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

The folks at Pepper Pet Wear make a variety of winter coats – all of which can be custom made to fit your dog – dachshunds included! I’m always a big fan of coats that have added protection under the belly, and these definitely do that! Read my full review on the Pepper Pet Wear CoatsYou can check out these custom pet coats from Pepper Pet Wear on Etsy.

9. Dachshund Delights

10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds

While I’ve never warm one, Dachshund Delights makes a whole line of custom coats for Dachshunds. From fleece, to hardier winter wear they have it all, including coats with built in harnesses. You can fetch one of these winter coats from Dachshund Delights.

10.  DJANGO Reversible Puffer Vest*

(*Ammo received compensation from DJANGO in exchange for an honest review of their Puffer Reversible Dog Coat)

Django Puffer Jacket

Ok seriously, every dog needs a puffer vest – it’s just so stylish! My friends at DJANGO sent me this one in sage green, and I totally love that it’s reversible to a fun red plaid color. They come in a variety of sizes and I love that they fit us deep chested dogs perfectly. They also have the much coveted (in my opinion) hole in the back for a leash attachment. You can fetch one from DJANGO.* Use Discount code AMMO15 for 15% off DJANGO’s Puffer Reversible Dog Coat (1 use per customer)
