Adventures at the Devon Horse Show

Devon Horse Show

Just as I have for the past 8 years, I took a trip to the Devon Horse Show at the end of May. Only this year I got to bring along my sister too! I guess technically she got to go last year as well (inside mom’s tummy), but I feel like when you can’t actually see the ponies – it doesn’t really count!

Devon Horse Show

While I always love sniffing new smells and seeing all the pretty ponies, sometimes Devon can get a little overwhelming for a small dog such as myself. It can get VERY crowded, especially in the evenings – and even on Grand Prix night (when the horses jump super super big fences for the chance to win big big money). Usually mom would end up carrying me around (all 20lbs of me!) when things got a little crazy, but this year we had a different option!

Devon Horse Show

Rewind to a few weeks before the Devon Horse Show, and mom decided that I needed to learn how to ride in the bottom of my sister’s stroller!

Devon Horse Show

So armed with my current favorite treats, these Vanilla Flavored Bully Slices from Redbarn Products, mom made me a comfy spot in the stroller so I could practice riding in it.

Devon Horse Show

Arguably it’s not my favorite place to be, but since these Bully Slices require some intense chewing effort on my part I was able to relax enough that mom could push me around the driveway.

Made with natural beef these chews are a natural source of protein and antioxidants too. I enjoy snacking on them everywhere, from work to home, and even on my adventures.

Devon Horse Show

So how did I fair at the Devon Horse Show when the crowds got bigger? Well the first struggle was convincing my sister that my training chews were for me and not her!

Devon Horse Show

While I did ride around in the bottom of the stroller for a little bit, I still have some work to do to be extra comfortable in there. But it’s a start!

I much preferred to chew my bully slices under a shady tree at Devon anyway!

You can snag your pup some Bully Slices from Redbarn Products they even come in some really fun flavors like French Toast, Peanut Butter, and Vanilla. And be sure to check out my full review on their products too!

Hopefully by this time next year I’ll be a real pro at riding under that stroller!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

This is my new life. It’s chaotic and messy, sometimes there is crying – sometimes laughter, and there are a whole lot of things I’m not supposed to chew. But, that’s ok, because my new friends at Peacebone have something that I’m most definitely allowed to chew!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

Peacebone provides healthy pet treats that are made of hand picked, USA farm raised, USDA inspected beef from local farms. All their bones are also antibiotic free, non-GMO and preservative free.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

In other words, mom doesn’t have to think twice about offering me Peacebone products because she knows they are super safe for me to eat. Which is good news, because these days there isn’t a lot of time left to do anything except change stinky diapers. (you get the picture)

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

One of my favorites of the bunch was Peacebone’s Jumbo 6-Inch Bully Sticks. They’re made from 100% natural grass fed buffalo and are low in fat and high in protein. Mom loves that they are much safer than rawhide and are great for helping to clean my teeth.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

But my top pick had to be this beauty, The Pacifier.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

I had heard rave things about “The Pacifier” from my little sister, so I was super excited to try one. It’s a slow roasted and hand-trimmed all beef Kneecap. Sourced in the USA strictly from farms that meet Peacebone’s specific standards.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

It did not disappoint!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

When life around me gets extra messy (no toy is safe from my little sister’s wrath), I just grab my Pacifier from Peacebone and find my happy place, and all is right with the world again.

You can snag your pup some of this yummy goodness from my pals at Peacebone, and save 20% OFF your order with code AMMO20

Nylon Dog Bone Chews with an Extra Kick + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Pet Qwerks. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

My new friends over at Pet Qwerks recently came out with a new dog chew called the Flavorit™ that I think your dogs are going to love! Now if your dog likes to chew (as most dogs do), this is a new Nylon bone that they’re going to love sinking their teeth into.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit comes in 8 different flavors that are infused into the nylon bones and is available in 4 sizes. They also come in a Flex version for moderate chewers as well as the standard version for tough chewers.

Since I’m a very aggressive chewer I decided to start out with the standard version (later I did test out the Flex, but it’s not the best fit for me since I am so aggressive with my chewing).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Now you may have noticed the tiny little holes on each side of the Flavorit. They are what make this nylon bone so unique! Not only is each bone flavored as is, but you can also fill each of these tiny flavor cells with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or anything else soft.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Both sides of the Flavorit have a concave design so that the messy treats you put on your bone end up in your dog’s mouth (or the bone) and not on the carpet. Mom found it helpful to wipe off any excess peanut butter with a paper towel before she gave it to me so that I for sure wouldn’t make a mess on anything I wasn’t supposed to.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

I have to say the standard Flavorit held up quite well to my big chompers, and the added peanut butter flavor (which is my favorite) really kept me busy for quite some time.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Mom even let me chew on it on her brand-new carpet….and it really was mess-free! (or I would of been in big trouble).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit is made in the USA of 100% nylon and is even dishwasher safe (if your dog can’t get all the flavor out on their own!).

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Bully Bundles. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love!

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Recently my new friends over at Bully Bundles sent me a package of their 6″ Bully Sticks to try. Now if you’ve never heard of Bully Sticks, then you are missing out my friend!

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Now I admit, when I was a young pup I used to snack on rawhides (before my mom knew any better), but Bully Sticks are a type of chew that are MUCH better than rawhides. Not only are they safer because they are 100% digestible (much lower risk of choking compared rawhides), but they are also healthier because they are made of 100% beef. Rawhides typically contain harmful chemicals and are treated with a long list of ingredients.

So I can attest, when you’re looking for a chew for your dog, Bully Sticks are definitely the way to go. Not only will your dog love them, but your humans will feel good knowing they are safe and healthy.

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Now the cool thing about Bully Bundles is that you can sign up to have your dog’s Bully Sticks delivered monthly. When you’re a busy shop dog it’s nice to know there will always be a snack around for your work breaks (even if your mom forgets to pick some up at the store!).

In fact, I have a fun little game I like to play to earn my bully sticks while at work…

I’ve gotten so good at finding those hidden Bully Sticks that mom has had to get pretty creative in hiding them now!

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

The Bully Bundles come in 6″ or 12″ sticks that are between 5/8″ – 7/8″ thick (which are thicker than most I’ve seen on the market).

They’re also made with no preservatives or chemicals and are produced in a USDA approved facility. Hailing from free-range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle, and No growth hormones or antibiotics are used on the cattle.

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

So if you’re ready to set your dog up with a monthly subscription of bully sticks from Bully Bundles, you can choose between 6, 10, 15, 30, or 60 6″ sticks a month or 5, 10, 15, or 30 12″ sticks a month.

And don’t worry, you can even skip a month or cancel at anytime! The best part is you can save 10% OFF your Bully Bundles order with code AMMO.

As a bonus…

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

FOUR WINNERS WILL WIN A 4-PACK OF BULLY STICKS FROM BULLY BUNDLES!

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My tail is wagging, because recently I made some new friends! That’s right, the folks at Jones Natural Chews Co. are my new buddies, because they mailed me MEAT!

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Not just any meat, a whole frisbee full of meat (their Spring Fling goodie Frisbee to be exact).

And when you get a Frisbee full of 100% USA made meat products, there is really only one thing to do….

….throw on your best party hat and have a Par-Tay!

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Well, a party of one….but still a party! (I didn’t really want to share with anyone else anyway).

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Jones Natural Chews only uses raw product sourced from the USA and does not use any artificial ingredients to keep their products natural. If that weren’t enough to get you drooling, they also slowly oven bake their meats to keep the bones at proper moisture levels and to produce bones that are consistent with raw bone density.

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Jones Natural Chews also tests all of their bones for splintering. They conduct pressure tests and moisture tests to ensure the best bone strength. But it’s always best to supervise your pet when feeding them. My mom never allows me to have chews or treats when she isn’t there to watch me closely. Safety first!

Jones Natural Dog Chews Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can visit the Jones Natural Chews website to find a retailer near you, or shop online for these yummy chews and more! Also be sure to check out the JNC Blog for even more fun!

Ammo the Dachshund // Bubble Wrap King

Sometimes being a shop dog can be really hard. Like when all you want to do is play in a giant pile of bubble wrap but mom says there is real work to be done!

But when there is real work to be done at the shop, mom has a secret weapon (especially for days when all I want to do is play in bubble wrap)……Gullet Sticks from Best Bully Sticks!

Gullet Sticks are made from 100% beef esophagus, and a little softer than bully sticks making them ideal for smaller dogs.

I don’t know about you, but don’t you just love a toy that’s versatile?

Planet Dog Glow For Good Ball // Ammo the Dachshund

Planet Dog has long been one of my go-to toy manufacturers because not only are they “Ammo proof” (I’m the toughest chewer….trust me!) but most of them contain “treat spots” so you can convince your mom and dad to “fill-er-up” with you favorite yummies.

Planet Dog Glow For Good Ball // Ammo the Dachshund

Toy Graveyard

Toy Graveyard // Ammo the Dachshund

Upon first inspection you might think this is just an ordinary basket filled with some of my toys.

Toy Graveyard // Ammo the Dachshund

But, it’s actually my toy graveyard – where chewed, ripped, devoured, and damaged toys go to live out their remaining days.

Toy Graveyard // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s not that they weren’t loved, it’s quite the opposite really, they were loved a little too much.

Toy Graveyard // Ammo the Dachshund

I have fond memories with all of them, like tearing ears off, ripping stuffing out, de-squeaking, and gnawing until my jaw is sore.

Toy Graveyard // Ammo the Dachshund

I sort of miss them.
