Everyday Dog Gear

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

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. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.

So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!

So head on over and check it out, and if you’re wondering about something on the list, just shoot me an e-mail at info@ammothedachshund.com! With such an extensive list, it’s entirely possible I forgot to list something!

Happy Shopping!

P.S. If you have any special pet gear that you love too be sure to post it in the comments below, I love to hear what other pets and pet lovers are digging!

Friday Fetch: The Bear & The Rat Frozen Treats for Dogs

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Ammo

With my summer officially in full swing (never mind that the official start of summer isn’t until June 21), I know that with the hot days ahead I’ll be itching for some cool treats.

I came across these all natural frozen dog treats from The Bear & The Rat that are made with real yogurt and packed full of probiotics to help aid in your dog’s digestion. With flavors like Banana Peanut Barker and Bacon Peanut Barker they totally have me drooling. (Sadly I’ll never get to taste test these myself though, because my tummy is sensitive to yogurt – but I can live vicariously through you!).

Friday Fetch: Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coats

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Ammo

November is officially here, and in Pennsylvania that means that I will be wearing my coats most of the time while outdoors now. I’m always on the lookout for stylish coats, so when I came across the Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery I knew I had found a winner.

Ammo the Dachshund // Friday Fetch // Billy Wolf K-9 Coatery

From Billy Wolf:

After several failed attempts to find her dog a tasteful coat, fashion designer Lyndsey Drago took to her sewing machine and tailor made her Chihuahua Cujo a tartan plaid coat from an old jacket that had grown too weary for wear. With Cujo sporting his new coat, Lyndsey was stopped block after block on their daily walks by strangers complimenting his coat and requesting one of their own for their pooches. Thus, Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery was born.

Billy Wolf also makes pet bandanas and Leather Collars.

In keeping up with the 13 Project Goals, Billy Wolf donates 10% of all proceeds to our friends at Funny for Fido. Funny for Fido is a non-profit who brings awareness to volunteer-based animal rescue organizations.

Friday Fetch: The Clicker Leash

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Ammo

I don’t talk a lot about the training methods my mom uses with me on the blog (but I should!), but since I was just a wee pup my mom has been using clicker training with me. Clicker training is a positive training method for animals using a clicker or small mechanical noisemaker, as a marker for behavior.

In fact, since my mom knew that us Dachshunds are one of the hardest dogs to house train (it’s true), she began clicker training me from the start to do my business outside. I’m proud to say I am completely house trained now (even if it did take me a little longer than the average pooch) thanks to the clicker. Now had we known about the Clicker Leash from the start, this totally would have been a must have item for me when I was learning the potty basics.

Ammo the Dachshund // Friday Fetch // Clicker Leash

The Clicker Leash puts effective, humane training methods at your fingertips by merging a clicker with an ergonomic, lightweight leash handle. The Clicker Leash makes reward-based training convenient and fun while eliminating juggling and fumbling. Whether you are training your puppy, working on basic life skills with an adult dog or competing in canine sports the Clicker Leash puts your clicker where you need it, when it counts. As long as you have your dog’s leash, your favourite training tool is on hand!

Can I see some ID?

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Ammo

As dogs we wear our names, phone numbers, and addresses around our necks for the world to see. And while this may not bode well for any dogs out there wishing to blend in as members of the secret service and whatnot – I consider my own id tags a badge of honor.

Wearing an ID tag around my neck means that there is someone that loves me and cares whether I return home safely or not – not that I make it a point to go galavanting around the neighborhood in hot pursuit of bunnies or anything. Nah, I’ve certainly never done that before. *wink*

So since wearing my name and number around my neck on a daily basis is a necessity – who says they can’t be stylish at the same time? Recently I picked up a few new ID tags to add to my collection, because you never know which one will go better with your outfit on any given day.

This silver fox I picked up from the ID Store and it dawns the logo of my recent certification of Canine Good Citizen. Ideal for those days when I’m feeling extra citizenly.

Next up is a tag that seems to have been made especially for me (in fact it was) from Cropscotch. You may remember I shared them a few weeks ago during my Friday Fetch Blog Feature. This unique wooden tag reminds me of how super I really am – and it goes great with my bulging muscles, don’t you think?

And my final accessory for the day is an adorable horseshoe tag (from the mascot collection) sent to me from my pals at Blanket Id. This tag is extra special because it contains a website link on the back that tells you everything you need to know about me should I get lost and makes it extra easy to find my human.

Lately I’ve taken to wearing two tags at once – mostly pairing my Blanket Id with one of the others – because really, one can never have too many accessories. You also might notice that each of my id tags has their own Rubit Clip, which is a secure clip that easily lets you move id tags from collar to collar – because one can also never have too many collars! But we’ll have to save my collar collection for another post.

Along with wearing proper id I am also microchipped. And while I’m still not certain if said microchip isn’t just there to transmit secret data to the government for some big conspiracy – Mom assures me she had it implanted for my safety only. The verdict is still out on that one.

Make sure you stop by my shop today and check out my brand-new birthday greeting card, “Super Stud“. I’m sure you have a lucky lady in your life that would love to get one of these beauties in the mail.

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Ammo

It’s no secret that I love to shop for the latest and greatest dog products, evident by my weekly blog feature, Friday Fetch. So when I actually ~~get a chance to test some of these products out myself~~ convince mom she has to buy me something, I love to share my experiences with my fans.
