Dogtails Shampoo Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my new friends over at Dogtails sent me a sample of their natural clarifying dog shampoo little did I know that I would be needing it so soon.

My adventures in groundhog hunting on the farm inevitably landed me in the tub as soon as I got home!

Dogtails Shampoo Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Bathtime isn’t always my favorite thing to do, but when you have a good shampoo that can get you squeaky clean in no time it makes it that much more bare-able. Plus the bottle had a picture of a dachshund on it….so I knew it was meant to be!

A little bit of shampoo went a long way, and as you could see from my instagram video, a quarter sized amount of soap got all that crud out of my fur.

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.

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!

Born Pretty Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is a sponsored post by Born Pretty.

The website, Born Pretty, recently launched a new line of pet products and asked if I would like to test some of them out.

I browsed through their online shop which had a lot of variety of items, most of which were at pretty reasonable prices – and they even offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING! From winter coats, to light up collars, toys and more – I had a tough time deciding what to test out.

Born Pretty Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I finally landed on this treat launcher (which I’ve always wanted to try) and this interesting rubber egg dog toy.

The rubber egg didn’t come with any packaging and the online description wasn’t very informative other than to say that it was resistant to dog bites. Since I’m such a tough chewer mom decided not to let me play with the egg since she couldn’t determine if it might easily break apart or harm me if I swallowed any pieces.

Born Pretty Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

That’s ok though, because the toy I really wanted to test out was the treat launcher! And after a quick wash (as suggested on the back of the package) I was ready to launch some treats!

I had a little trouble locating those flying cookies, but I’m sure with a bit more practice I will totally get the hang of it!

The launcher works a bit easier if you don’t over-fill it with treats, but regardless it was still fun to play with. How can you not like a toy that shoots cookies into the air?

Disclosure: I received some toys from Born Pretty for review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own! I would like to note this company is located overseas (which I did not realize until after agreeing to a review) – as I know some of you may prefer to only purchase from US companies. Also because of this winners prizes may take 3 – 5 weeks to arrive.

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I don’t know about you, but I just loooove getting mail. And when it’s a package, oh boy, that just totally gets my tail wagging! So when I got the opportunity to test out PetBox, a monthly delivery service that sends treats and toys and goodies right to your front door, well I think my tail was about to fall off from wagging too much!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now PetBox isn’t your average pet subscription box, see they actually allow members to choose their own products that go into their boxes each month. So you can opt to choose exactly what goodies your dog is getting or let it be a fun surprise, which is what I did.

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my box arrived I was surprised to see how many goodies were actually packed inside!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So lets take a closer look and see what I actually got inside my PetBox…..

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Pet Rescue Decal ($5.99) – these exterior window decals are designed to keep your pets safe incase of an emergency. Mom said she used to have one of these on her door at home when she was a kid and completely forgot that we don’t have one at our house. Well thanks to PetBox now I have one too!

NoviPet Multivitamin ($11.99) – these vitamins provide the essential nutrients for optimal pet health. As I get up there in age I’m sure adding a daily vitamin to my diet can only help! Gotta keep this body in tip-top shape!

Aussie Naturals Duck Toy ($14.99) – this jute and leather toy is designed to be “hard to kill”, and so far so good in my tough paws, because we all know what a “killer” I am!

Earth Heart Canine Calm Spray ($12.99) – this natural remedy mist is easy to use by lightly misting your fingertips and gently massaging the dog’s outer ears or abdomen. I’m pretty sure mom will be taking this along on our next vet visit, as I must admit I get a little anxious when the word “shots” is mentioned.

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Honest Kitchen Smooches ($7.99) – These low calorie sweet treats are made of all human grade ingredients with no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. When they’re made this healthy you can bet I’ll be getting to eat even more of them!

Clear Conscience Sliders & Tenderstikz ($11.99) – These are the first tender moist pet treats with NO glycerin or “vegetable” glycerin, NO propylene glycol, and NO sugars or syrups. They had me at tender and moist for sure!

Healthy Dogma Cookies ($5.95) – These pet teats are a natural and healthy alternative to processed treats. They’re also the perfect petite size for mom to carry with her during my training sessions.

Now if you add up all the products in my PetBox you would come up with a total of over $70! But guess what, you can get a PetBox subscription for as low as $29 a month!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you’ll notice from the top of my PetBox, one of my guiltiest pleasures is COOKIES – I’m pretty sure I would stuff myself silly if Mom weren’t there to make sure I didn’t over-eat and only ate the healthy ones. It’s a good thing my PetBox came stuffed to the brim with cookies of the healthy variety!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy tummy tummy!

PetBox Monthly Dog Subscription Service Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh and as an extra bonus, once your PetBox is empty it makes for a super awesome fort (just the right size for little Dachshund bodies) – and don’t worry, you only have to wait a couple more weeks for another box of goodies to show up at your doorstep if you sign up for a subscription.

You can even use the code AMMO20 for a 20% discount on your PetBox subscription.

But my very favorite part about PetBox is that this month PetBox is running a Profits For Paws December campaign. For the entire month of December, PetBox is giving back 100% of it’s profits to pet charities across the United States. Now how can you not love a company that helps animals in need?

Miss-Flo Custom Made Dog Harnesses

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

A couple of weeks ago my new pal Flo, from Miss-Flo, sent me one of her mom’s custom made harness and leash sets. And boy was I excited when it showed up in one of my favorite colors – teal!

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve never been a big fan of harnesses that have straps between the legs because they feel restricting, and it can be quite difficult to find a well-made harness that just sits across the chest.

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

These Miss-Flo harnesses are custom made to fit each dog, so you know it will be the perfect size for your own furry friend. As you can see mine fits me like a glove, and I like that the buckle is adjustable (should I ever eat too many cookies).

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

My Miss-Flo harness even came with a matching leash which boasted one of those extra strong snaps – because you can never be too careful when it comes to walking your pup! It also has a little metal loop by the handle to tie poop bags to or even snap a set of keys onto.

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

One of my favorite things about this harness was the velvety soft fabric that was against my skin. All of Miss Flo’s harnesses (and even the leash handles) are lined with velvet and they come in a variety of color choices too. Never again do I have to worry about my harness rubbing me in the wrong places, because believe me when I say this stuff is oh-so-soft!

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Armed in my new harness I set off to roam my neighborhood – well and mostly just show off to all the neighbor dogs how really really good looking I was in it.

You may have already noticed me wearing my new harness in some of my other blog and Facebook posts, as I’ve been wearing it everywhere lately – it’s that comfortable!

Sponsor Welcome: K9 CarFence

I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!

Sponsor Welcome // K9 Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).

I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

K9 Carfence Big Dog Ad

K9 CarFence has offered up a special promo code for all of our readers! Use AMMO at checkout to receive FREE SHIPPING on your order.
