I bet you’re wondering why I’m wearing this spiffy yellow bandana that says American Journey.

Well, in actuality, it’s not a bandana. It’s a bib! A bib, because my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a bag, and not just any bag. A bag full of MEAT!

Even through all the plastic I could smell just how yummy these meat products were. My mom is thrilled that they are high-quality, single-protein treats that she can feel good about letting me eat.

What to Do When Your Pet Has Seasonal Allergies

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s Springtime. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and the pollen is flying. And just like you, I have seasonal allergies too!

A video posted by Kyley, Ammo + Painting Ponies (@kyleydiluigi) on May 19, 2015 at 6:11pm PDT

My sneezing has been keeping everyone up at night, and that’s no fun for anyone.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Thankfully my vet recommended I take a dose of Zyrtec (I’ve been using the generic version of it) each night before I go to bed.

And thankfully my mom knew I needed something extra special to “help the medicine go down”. These Wellness Core SuperFood Protein Bars from Chewy.com are the perfect addition to my allergy med dose.

These nutrient-dense protein nuggets are packed with quality animal protein, without fillers or grains, and with wholesome superfoods. Their chewy size is easy to break apart into smaller doses to take my medication each night.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom cuts one of my Zyrtec pills in half – I weigh 20lbs and she’s been giving me a 5mg dose once a night – although my vet said I could take 10mg.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

She then hides my pill inside my Wellness Protein Bars. I’m none the wiser (although don’t tell mom I’d probably eat anything she handed me) and mom feels better knowing I’m not only eating a 100% natural (made in the USA) treat that I go crazy for, but that I won’t be up all night sneezing either.

So if you’re in need of a good wholesome treat, that can also double as a pill disguiser I recommend checking out the Wellness Core Grain-Free Protein Bars from Chewy.com!

Does your pet have seasonal allergies? What do you do to combat the sniffles?

I’m so excited to get cooking, well ok, mostly get eating…but you know what I mean!

And thanks to Barkbox I even have a happy little chef to help me in the kitchen this year. Although I totally have my eye on him as I caught him sneaking some of my beef stew already!

If he behaves perhaps I’ll let him lick the after dinner plates with me.

But you know, the real fun always comes after the big feast, when everyone hunkers down on the couch to snooze off all that turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes.

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Ammo

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!!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

THREE Lucky winners will receive 1 package of Meaty Flavor Bites Beef & Cheese, 1 package of Mini Meaty Bites Chicken, and 1 package of Small Chew Buddies Variety Pack.

Trip to Wyebrook Farm

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Ammo

Yesterday I took a trip to Wyebrook Farm in Honeybrook, PA.

Ammo the Dachshund visits Wyebrook Farm

I’ve been to many farms before – but mom told me this one was a little bit different.

Ammo the Dachshund visits Wyebrook Farm

From their website:

At Wyebrook Farm, we provide an alternative to the industrial food supply. By creating a diverse polyculture on our farm, we produce the healthiest animals and best food without the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, hormones or antibiotics.

We believe that the only way to guarantee that the food you eat is healthy, safe and nutritious is to know the farmer who produced it. We sell the products of the farm from a historic barn on the farm so that our customers can see our animals and our farming practices. We encourage you to tour the farm and ask us questions. By purchasing food from Wyebrook Farm, you support the local community and ensure that this part of Chester County retains the agricultural character that has made it one of the most productive and beautiful places in America.

At Wyebrook Farm they have a cafe that is open on the weekends as well as a market that sells their farm raised meats and veggies.

The food was delicious, but I was really excited to take a tour of the farm.

I met some really cute chicks along the way.

I even got to meet this portly fellow – who despite looking somewhat friendly, scared the bejeezes out of me!

It ended up being a really fun day – and we even stopped for ice cream on the way home! I have no doubt I’ll be back again, and next time I’ll work up the courage to tell that pig who’s boss.
