Merrick Hungry Dog Review & Giveaway with Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

When my friends over at Chewy.com sent me over some of the Merrick Hungry Dog Chew Treats mom thought they might be just the thing to keep me occupied during the busy season at the shop this year.

Merrick Hungry Dog Review & Giveaway with Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

See, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m not always the perfect little angel you might think I am at work. Shocking right?

Merrick Hungry Dog Review & Giveaway with Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I pull merchandise off the shelves to get attention, or bark at big dogs outside the shop door, or even tear up a piece of cardboard or two. It’s all part of my training regime for mom, because I have her trained now to throw me something good to eat to keep me occupied until she’s done with a customer. I’m so smart.

So when Chewy.com’s Merrick Hungry Dog Chews arrived at the shop, I knew I’d be getting a few tossed my way.

This 2 lb. bag of misshapen dog chews are a great value as they include a variety of products made by Merrick that didn’t quite make the “cut” for one reason or another, but are still perfectly healthy for your pet to eat. My bag seemed to be filled with mostly beef ear chews, but I think every bag is different.

Regardless of maybe their irregular size they smelled delicious and cost a fraction of the original price.

I also read that the beef ears are great for sensitive stomachs, contain no artificial colors or flavors, and are even made right here in the USA.

You can bet my naughty little self will be getting lots of these during the holiday rush at the shop!

Merrick Jerky Strips Product Review & Giveaway

Our friends over at Chewy.com sent over a package of Merrick Natural Beef Liver Real Cuts Jerky Strips for me to test out recently.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These jerky strips have a VERY strong odor to them. Now if you’re a dog like me, a strong odor like this is FANTASTIC, but if you have a weak human nose, well then you might not enjoy the odor as much.

Merrick Natural Beef Liver Jerky Cuts Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Despite the strong odor, they were soft and chewy and as far as this dog’s tastebuds are concerned, delicious.

Because of the strong smell I was able to sniff these bad boys out even after mom put them away in her bag. Lets just say I tracked them down and ate a few more than I was supposed to before mom noticed.

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Ammo

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.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

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.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

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.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

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!

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

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: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com

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.

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

These crunchy treats were just my size, and the perfect thing to take with me on the dog agility course. And with only one calorie per treat, I don’t have to worry about my “hot dog” dragging on the ground!

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

So if you are like me and the Universe is telling you to eat your heart out, make sure you pick up these Fromm Treats from Chewy.com so you too won’t have to worry about that pesky spare tire! You can check out the full line of Fromm Treats HERE.

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

I’m pretty sure my lip licking says it all – these treats were to die for! Packed full of biologically appropriate meats that include free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs, free-range red meats and fresh saltwater & freshwater fish – these treats are the perfect thing to make sure that your pet is eating healthy.

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

Being a dog (and self-proclaimed lover of meats), I can honestly say that the Orijen Freeze-Dried Dog Treats from Chewy.com really get my tail wagging! You can bet I’ll be begging mom to try all of their flavors, which you can shop for HERE.

Product Review: SafetyGlo Harness for Dogs from Chewy.com

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Ammo

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.

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!
