I Wonder Where You Came From // Ammo the Dachshund Reviews The Honest Kitchen Wonders Pet Treats

Every now and then a new box of treats shows up at my door, and when it’s from my friends at The Honest Kitchen, you know it’s going to be a good day.

If you weren’t already aware, The Honest Kitchen makes dehydrated pet food and treats for dogs and cats that I myself eat on a regular basis. You may have caught some of my previous product reviews with their foods on the blog.

Well these Wonders treats are no exception to The Honest Kitchen’s great line, and these bits of Pollock skin sourced from the Faroe Islands were just too fishy for me to resist.

Just when I thought I would be snacking on my own…..

I Wonder Where You Came From // Ammo the Dachshund Reviews The Honest Kitchen Wonders Pet Treats

….the delicious smell of Pollock started to attract some attention from my friends.

And not just Trooper either….Cricket too! Because Wonders aren’t just for us dogs, but for the cats too!

Sigh, guess I’ll be sharing with everyone now. I might have to get mom to pick me up another box!

A Car Seat Cover to Keep Pet Hair Away + A Giveaway

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

My buddy Trooper recently got a new car. As in a sparkly, shiny, glistening new car that muddy paws, pet hair, and dog cookies were not allowed in!

That is until my friends at Ruffwear sent us one of their new Dirtbag Seat Covers, so us dirty dogs were finally allowed to ride in the new car!

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

The Ruffwear Dirtbag™ Seat Cover is a durable, waterproof cover that shields vehicle seats from the remnants of dog adventures.

It can be installed in a traditional or hammock configuration, and their non-slip fabric keeps your dogs from sliding around during the ride.

The great thing about the Dirtbag is that it maintains openings for seatbelts. So for dogs like Trooper and I who are always securely seat belted in during drives can still do so.

During our long road trip last week to South Carolina Trooper and I brought along the Dirtbag Seat Cover, and the humans were super thankful we did because my boy Trooper here is like the shedding king!

And when one of us (I’m not pointing fingers) rolled in something extra stinky, the Dirtbag kept the new car seats stink free until the cover could be popped into the wash.

Another cool feature is this handy pocket for storing leashes, bowls, or anything you may need. And when you’re done using the cover it can fold up and be stored inside the built-in zippered pocket.

Even our pal Cricket the Cat thought the cover looked mighty neat!

So if you’ve got some four legged passengers you need to protect your seats from, then I highly recommend checking out the Dirtbag seat cover from Ruffwear!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As a dog who loves fashion I’ve learned that there is one thing that will make or break my look…and that’s accessories! Today you are in luck, because I can’t wait to share with you some of my newest accessories from my friends at Wares for Bears.

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I received some awesome handmade bandanas from Wares for Bears recently, and they totally made us feel the part of farm dogs.

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean just look at all that fabulous fringe!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Wares for Bears bandanas are all made to fit your own dog’s unique neck size with a snap closure. No need to tie them around your dog’s neck like a traditional bandana.

Wares for Bears also donates 10% of their sales to the Seattle Humane Society, a local animal rescue organization that helps to feed, shelter, care, and re-home dogs in need. Now that’s pretty cool!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

They come in sizes for big and small dogs, and in many various patterns and styles. Trooper and I picked out a few that had that fun farm feel to them.

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The really cool part is that they are reversible too. So for the price of one bandana, you can get not one, but two looks…

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

…polka dots or checks for this one!

And I discovered another fun feature of the Wares for Bears bandanas…..

My gal pal Cricket couldn’t get over how fabulous Trooper and I looked in our new bananas.

Hanging out in Leaves

Posted on by

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

There is something just so wonderful about hanging out in a pile of leaves.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

The crunchy sound, the dead leafy smell (you totally know what I’m talking about), the pretty fall colors.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

I love ALL OF IT, especially the rumor I heard from Cricket the farm cat that sometimes little critters like to hang out in leaf piles too.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

And this is not the face of a cat that would lie!

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you don’t mind, I’ll just spend the rest of my day hanging out in this pile of leaves – and waiting for the critters to join me. *wink*

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My pals over at Mattie & Margot recently sent me a collar and leash from their new STRIPPED collection.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This collection is great because it has a lower price point (starting at $20) and comes in two different widths to fit any size dog.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My gal pal Cricket the Cat was totally eyeing the Ice Blue color that my collar and leash set came in…..because it was oh-so-cool!

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always on the lookout for leashes that come with these “claw” (not sure if that’s the real term for it) clasp like the STRIPPED Leash. I’m a strong believer that it’s a stronger and more durable option for a clasp than the standard snaps you see on a lot of leashes.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The STRIPPED collection is “stripped” of the traditional ribbon adornment that most of the Mattie & Margot collars you have seen me wearing come with, ideal for the minimalist at heart and great for a less expensive (but still very durable) collar. I’ve NEVER had a Mattie & Margot collar break on me in all the years I’ve been wearing them, not even when I’m rough-housing on the farm.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You may have already caught me wearing my new Stripped collar on my Facebook page, as I’ve already been adorning myself with it’s cool blueness at work, on the farm, and lounging around my house.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch your own STRIPPED Collar or Leash from Mattie & Margot in a variety of colors and sizes starting at $20.

When Barn Swallows Attack

Posted on by

Ammo the Dachshund on the Farm

This time of year I spend a lot of time hanging around the family farm. While mom does chores and rides ponies I hang out with my gal pals, Cricket and Spider.

Lately though our time together seems to get interrupted by the barn swallows that have made their home in the barn.

Swooping, diving, and yelling at us – those birds are relentless in making sure we know that our presence near their nests are unwelcome. Honestly, I can’t say I blame them – Spider, Cricket, and I are fierce hunters – and I may have inadvertently purposely helped Spider take down a few birds out of the air. In my defense, they do like to scream at us a lot!

I’ll be looking over my shoulder from now on when I’m on the farm. Does your dog like to chase birds too? Ammo the Dachshund

Dude Night with Barkbox

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week my monthly Barkbox subscription arrived. It’s always exciting to peek inside that little cardboard box each month to see what special goodies have arrived.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Each month Barkbox sends some dog-gone great products featured around a certain theme, this month the theme was date night. Inside my box was a Sushi Pups toy, a Loopies cigar toy, Complete Natural Nutrition Cheese popcorn (which was safe for human consumption too), an Etta Says chew, and Max & Ruffy’s blueberry treats.

After I checked out what was in the box I realized Barkbox had it all wrong…..it wasn’t a date night box…..it was a dude’s night box!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So I invited all my dudes over to partake in my Barkbox fun. Ok well technically Cricket the cat isn’t a dude, but she’s so cool she’s practically one of the guys.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow the pony and I wasted no time in digging into our Barkbox goodies.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow went after the Loopies cigar, while I zeroed in on the Etta Says chew!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Just a couple of dudes chewing on things!

While Minnow enjoyed playing with my cigar toy, I’m sure he was wondering when they are going to come out with a Ponybox, because dog cookies weren’t exactly the treat he was hoping for. That’s ok, there’s more for me!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

My Dudes Night with Barkbox was a total success! I even had to check to make sure Cricket wasn’t taking home seconds!

Smarter than the average Cat

Posted on by

Ok I admit, I’ve been kinda busy scouting my groundhog holes on the farm (now that Spring has sprung and the critters are out to play) and not enough time attending to my girlfriend, Cricket the farmcat.

So when I spotted Cricket’s attempt at giving herself a brush with one of the ponies’ brushes, I kinda felt bad.

Even though I felt a tad guilty, you can’t argue that she’s pretty inventive!
