A Pet Activity Tracker that Helps Pets + A Giveaway

When this small box arrived at my doorstep from my friends at Poof, I had no idea that it was going to be able to communicate a whole slew of things about me to my parents.

At first I was slightly concerned it was going to giveaway all my secrets. Like where I hide my half eaten bones, and which of mom’s newly planted flowers I’ve peed on. But my mind was quickly put at ease when mom explained that Poof was actually an activity tracker – not a secret spiller.

Poof makes two different models, the Pea & the Bean. I decided to test out the Bean because it has a replaceable battery that lasts up to 6 months! (while the Pea is slightly smaller and contains a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 60 days.

Mom installed the Poof on my collar with one of these rubitz clips (that is not included – but something I already had at home).

Armed with my Poof, it was time to get busy exercising (or not exercising depending on how I felt that day)! Or perhaps I’d decide to take a dip in the lake that day – which is fine, because they are waterproof!

At the end of my day of activity mom put her smart phone next to my tracker to sync up to the free poof app so that she could collect all the data it received that day.

I was thrilled to see that on my very first day I had already met my exercise goal – and hadn’t napped near as much as I thought!

My favorite part though was seeing how I compared next to all the other dogs out there! I could see my ranking with other dogs my size (and I’ve been pretty consistently in the top 10 since I started using it), and also how I ranked globally too.

It’s a really fun motivator to get me out there running and playing even more than I already do – so that I can beat my high score!

And for the days I’m feeling extra social I can even connect with other dogs and dogs owners by sharing some dashing pictures of myself. The verdict is still out on if I can also use this as a dating app to meet some girl dachshunds that have the same affinity for exercise as I do.

In case the lady dachshunds are watching my poof ranking, I better start exercising now!

The really cool part about the Poof activity trackers is that 100% of their profits go to animal welfare through the GreaterGood.org program. Their donations help pay for food, beds, vaccinations, rescue missions and many other resources that help to keep animals safe and healthy.

So if you’d like to checkout just how much sleep, exercise, play, and calories your pup is getting, be sure to check out Poof!

You can even save 50% off your order with code AMMO

And now for the best part….

Natural Pet Treats to Keep the Peace + A Giveaway

Posted on May 31, 2017 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway are brought to you by Peacebone. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

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

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

And now for the best part….

How the Trax GPS Tracker Can Make Life Easier

Posted on March 29, 2017 by Ammo

With every day that passes my little sister becomes more and more mobile.

While she may technically be moving she’s not exactly great at the whole “mobile” thing yet….especially the backing up part! Which means mom has to keep her eyes glued to Baby P pretty much all the time.

Now I’m a good dog 90% of the time (hey, we can’t all be perfect), and that other 10%….well, I sort of like to push the boundaries a little bit. What can I say, I am a stubborn DACHSHUND!

Mainly though, I just like to run (well and hunt, and dig, and roll in stinky stuff….but that’s a story for another day). So when mom has eyes on Baby P, she can’t keep tabs on me too – especially when I’m enjoying my time out on the farm.

Lucky for my mom she has had a secret weapon for many years now, the Trax GPS Tracker for Pets. While you might remember me mentioning Trax before, this time I got to take the newer Trax Play for a spin. Being the World’s smallest and lightest live GPS tracker on the market, it’s perfectly sized for a little dog like me!

Mom breathes a little easier when I’m wearing my Trax Play because she can worry more about making sure my sister doesn’t drive off a cliff, and less about where I’m wandering. Moms…..they are always worrying about their “kids”!

While I’ve tried many GPS trackers over the years, one of the main reasons my family keeps coming back to Trax as their favorite is because of the ability to add multiple custom geo-fences.

Geo-fences are basically “safe areas” that your pet can be, but should I wander too far and leave the geo-fence then mom gets a text alert on her phone to let her know I left the vicinity. Most of the other Pet GPS Trackers out there only allow you to create circular radiuses and only one per unit, but with Trax you can really be custom about your pet’s safe area.

Another cool feature is the augmented reality, where you can use your phone’s camera to locate your pet. When you point the camera in your dogs direction, an icon, with a distance indicator, will guide you to their location. Pretty cool, even if it does give away all of my secret ground hog hole locations!

Battery life in the new Trax Play is new and improved too, lasting up to 3 days on one charge! The only thing that would make Trax even better in mom’s eyes is if they added a sound locater (then I wouldn’t have to wear my annoying bells on the farm!).

You can learn more about all the features of the Trax Play on their website.

You can shop Trax Play which is available with a data plan for as low as $4.00/month – which is much lower than many comparable products on the market. Another reason why we love them!

And what’s even better is you can use code ammo10 for 10% off your purchase!

*Please note a data plan is necessary in order to use the Trax Play device.

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Just like my boy Macklemore my mom has been hitting up the local thrift store with only 20 dollars in her pocket in search of some hidden gems.

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

She’s been coming home from the local Goodwill with all kinds of cool finds for my sister. Those dog pjs are super cute I have to admit. Honestly though, I was starting to feel a little left out.

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

I probably shouldn’t have spoke too soon, because before I knew it mom had popped two dog hats out of her bag that she had picked up just for me. Sigh, I knew where this was going….

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Yup, before I could bark in protest it was a full blown dress-up session!

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Eh, who am I kidding. I totally love to play dress-up….especially since I look so awesome in this hat!

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

I might not look as cool in this one, but at least my head will be warm the next time it snows! (And yes, I’m rooting for snow at least once more this winter, because otherwise I won’t get to try out my new sled!)

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

I’m pretty sure Baby P is chomping at the bit to play Dress-up with me. Soon, very soon, and in the meantime I’m more than happy to practice in my ninety-nine cent hat! And in the words of Macklemore….

I’m a take your grandpa’s style, I’m a take your grandpa’s style,
No for real – ask your grandpa – can I have his hand-me-downs?

Have you ever found something awesome at the Thrift Store for your dog?
