What to Pack when you go Summer Camping with your Dog

One of my favorite summertime adventures with my family is to go camping, and as luck would have it this weekend I did just that! You may have caught a glimpse of my outdoor activities this weekend on Instagram and Facebook, and while I promise a full recap of all my camping related fun, today I’d thought I’d share how I pack for a camping trip.

Ammo’s Must Have Summer Camping Gear:

The key to summer camping with your four-legged companion is to make sure you bring plenty of items to keep them cool in the heat. During the day you can also choose camping activities that involve water (like swimming, kayaking, or boating) or shade (like hiking in the woods or geocaching). And when in doubt, wait for a cooler month to go on a camping adventure.

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

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

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.

Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.

These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.

Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!

Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I got the opportunity to test out some True Chews Premium Jerky Treats from my friends at Chewy.com.

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I was super excited to dive into that bag of jerky, but then I thought to myself… “self, you should let your best friend Trooper try out these Jerky treats”…. especially since mom says jerky gives me the toots, as in room clearing toots! Which honestly I don’t understand what the big deal is anyway, but I decided to hand over the product testing to my good pal just because I like him so much.

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

So when I told Trooper that he got to be the one to test out the Premium Jerky Cuts, his eyes got real big and he started to drool!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean just look how big and juicy those jerky slabs are!

Product Review: True Chews Premium Jerky from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper’s eyes glazed over as he dug into that soft meat, and I admit, I started to regret letting him try them instead of keeping them all to myself.

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.

Product Review: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

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

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

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.

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

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!

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.

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.

You can fetch your own SafteyGlo Products from $5.99 – $24.99 at Chewy.com!
